Quote (Devolution @ Dec. 26 2012,02:33)But I still disagree about the born again being when we come to Christ.I do understand why you say it:Quote 1Pe 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.In my understanding, this is metaphoric language, much like Peter used in…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ Dec. 26 2012,12:54)SO SINCE EVE BECAME SATAN' S SUBJECT, SHE BY RIGHT AND JUSTLY, BECAME ADAM'S SUBJECT SINCE SATAN OWNED ADAM'S SOUL.What? Scripture, please. (And notice, I said “scripture”, not “loads and loads of unrelated scriptures”.)

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Dec. 26 2012,10:14)Mike ………. Yes It would be proper for me to change the word “She” to “it”, especially if the word used there can be translated as “it”………..No Gene. It would not be proper of you even if there was not a shred of doubt that the thing was an inanimate object.That is even more so the case when you…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Dec. 26 2012,03:54)But Mike, YOU tell GENE not to change the Words which “John” Wrote……….Yet YOU WANT the words to say………THE WORD WAS A gOD!In what way am I CHANGING anything John wrote if 1:1c can be faithfully translated EITHER WAY?   Quote (2besee @ Dec. 26 2012,03:54)Even though the SCRIPTURES tell us that only ONE…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Dec. 26 2012,03:45)Yes Gene I understand what you are saying And you you equally understand my response to Gene, where I told him we can't just go around CHANGING the words that John actually wrote, just because we WANT the logos to be an “IT” instead of a “HIM”?

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 25 2012,21:09)In a manner of speaking the Word must be God because John states “the Word is God…”Actually, because of the imperfect tense of “en”, it says the Word WAS…….  not IS…..Secondly, you should know better than to make the claim John states “the Word is God”, and use that as your “proof”, since you are well…[Read more]

Demons and angels are beings who were originally created by God – as are we all.It seems we agree that they ARE called gods in scripture, proving that Jehovah is not LITERALLY the only “god” in existence.After all, how could Jehovah possibly be the God of gods if there existed no other gods for Him to be the God of?

Quote (carmel @ Dec. 24 2012,23:47)SO IT WAS NOT REGARDING HIERARCHI ITSELF, BUT HE WANTED TO EXPLAIN THE ORIGIN OF THE HIERARCHI!!!HOW IT WAS ORIGINATED!!!Okay, if you say so. Personally, I think you are PURPOSELY reading alot into Paul's words – simply because you WANT to.Either way, the “origin” of the hierarchy is God first. THEN His holy…[Read more]

    Good one, Ed!    Especially adding the question mark to your STATEMENT that wasn't a question – as is your way.  Okay guys, I was apparently wrong.  I apologize for any hurt feelings I may have caused.
