My two cents:1.  Jesus appearing inside a locked building isn't too big of a deal for me, because we know that even as a human being, he walked on water and somehow transported himself to the other side of the sea.  (Philip too seemed to vanish into thin air and appear many miles away as a human being.)2.  Is there a scripture that actually sa…[Read more]

Ed,You're welcome, but I said the same thing very early on in this thead.  The thread is worded awkwardly for the point t8 and I were making against Nick back then.  Nick was saying that Jesus can't be an angel, but the fact of the matter is that Jesus IS a “spirit messenger of God”, which is all that is required to be called an angel in E…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Oct. 28 2012,10:12)Tell us Mike why don't you seek scripture harmony that shows Jesus was a “SON OF MAN”, he seemed to think he was saying it over and over many times.Once again Gene (for about the 100th time), none of us have ever said that Jesus was NOT the Son of Man.There is NOTHING we say that disharmonizes with the…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 28 2012,17:13)I support the translation-interpretation that Jesus teaches us that “before Abraham is to become”; I am the one” because it is in harmony with the ideas that:1} Jesus is greater than Abraham2} Jesus is the Seed by which Abraham has now become the father of many nations of children, who have a faith like hisReally…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 29 2012,14:22)The question is how creditable the Jews are and what Jesus meant by his earlier words.Not really, Kerwin.  The REAL question is:  What did JESUS say in reply to those Jews?The Jews displayed disbelief that a man who looked to be less than fifty years old to their eyes had seen their father Abraham.  The po…[Read more]

Gene and Dennison,It's hard to argue against Ed's scripture, which explicitely describes a human being's free will.

Ed,I agree with your last post.  “Angel” is an English word that English translators sometimes attribute to the Hebrew word “malak”, and the Greek word “aggelos”………….. WHEN they believe the messenger in question was a spirit being.Is a man ever called by the English word “angel” in the scripture?  Not purposely.  There could be an in…[Read more]

Hebrews 11:17 NKJV © By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,Kathi,Do you see that the word “son” is in italics in the KJV, NKJV, and NASB?  That means the translators are ADDING the word “son” to the sentence because we ALREADY KNOW that Isaac was a male.  …[Read more]

Ed,It is frustrating when people like you go out of your way to NOT answer a question DIRECTLY.  Even now, you chose to use the word “confirmed” instead of the word “yes” that t8 was asking for.  WHY ED?    Why must you rebel like that?Is it so hard for you to just say “YES” to t8's question?  You've gone through this with me a lot of times, and…[Read more]
