Quote (bodhitharta @ Oct. 07 2012,22:28)If you want to make another thread to debate me one on one you should do that but it isn't fair for you to decide who should leave a debate in which all 3 of our names have been included……….Agreed.

Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 07 2012,16:02)Correction, death only had mastery over Jesus because He made it possible by emptying Himself and becoming man and laying down His life, allowing death to have mastery.Scripture doesn't say such a thing, Kathi. You have added that to the scriptural teachings.Are you saying that it is possible for God the…[Read more]

I learned to type at school in the 8th grade – on a typewriter! I got up to 65 words per minute! I still use all fingers to type – just like I was taught back then.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Oct. 08 2012,07:50)To All………….Saying Jesus is the root from which Jesse and David came is a total LIE and corruption of scriptures.  Jesus is  (the Root), “OF” or (FROM)  Jesse and King David, He is also the Offspring of them both. Any half intelligent person can understand that.Look at your own words, Gene.  If the…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 07 2012,14:40)Your claim is not that Jesse and David are decedents of Jesus but that they were created through Jesus.  That idea of yours introduces a time paradox to your teaching…….Pierre is simply reading and believing what the scriptures teach, Kerwin.  If there is a “paradox” involved, then it is a paradox taught by t…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Oct. 09 2012,10:32)I am not lying against you in saying that you worship “GODS”, since I have seen you clearly give reference to both YOUR “Jehovah” and YOUR “Jesus” as “GOD”.Frank,If you cannot produce the post from me where I said I worship Jesus (or anyone else but Jehovah) as my God, then you have in fact lied against me…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ Oct. 08 2012,00:23)DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD RESPECTED OUR LOGICAL REASONING IN ORDER TO REDEEM US?I believe God created us with logical reasoning so that we would USE it, Charles.

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 07 2012,19:11)carmel,You can certainly use that to evade explaining why the idea of the Trinity is so irrational.  Of course where does that leave Paul and his reason?Since your teaching is irrational because parts of it are in the head of God why bother reasoning?In fact why come up with a teaching that is not explicitly…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 07 2012,15:55)Hi Charles,I asked Mike how many 'theos' are to be known, believed in, served, honored, and praised in order to have eternal salvation.I'd be interested to hear Charles' and jammin's answer to that question.Well guys? What's the NUMERICAL answer to Kathi's question?

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 06 2012,20:28)All things were created by God alone – because of Jesus' crucifixion.Sorry Ed, but those words don't make a lick of sense to me.  It sounds as if you're saying Jesus WAS crucified, and BECAUSE OF his crucifixion, God SUBSEQUENTLY created all things.  Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 06 2012,20:28)Jesus was (according to you) a…[Read more]
