We are taught that angels can sometimes be seen by humans, can impregnate human women,…[Read more]

I know, right? You might as well translate it as “soulindipity”.What good is an English translation of a Greek word when no one knows what that English word is suppose to mean?

Quote (Ed J @ Sep. 09 2012,09:49)Quote (mikeboll64 @ Sep. 10 2012,02:22)Also, were you able to point out the word “IN” for me?  Is that word a part of John 1:14?  YES or NO?Hi Mike,It is located “in” 2Cor.5:19. So the word “IN” is NOT in 1:14? How can you then adjust the words of 1:14, and change the entire teaching of that verse by ADDING your o…[Read more]

Quote (carmel @ Sep. 09 2012,09:29)THERE'S IS ONLY ONE SPIRITUAL ALMIGHTY GOD. THE ONE ON THE THRONE.So if Jesus is the one who takes the scroll from the hand of the One on the throne, then Jesus is NOT the ONLY ONE SPIRITUAL ALMIGHTY GOD, right?

Need to get ready,have knowledge.It is good for you to get involved Mike, because it concerns you too.But my understanding is that Jesus wil…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 08 2012,19:31)T8,The literal word interpreted as “natural” is soulish.What do you mean by, “the literal word”?    “Soulish” is one man's definition of the Greek word, and creates more questions than it answers, ie:  What does “soulish” even mean?The NET scholars say the Greek word “psuchikos” is a synonym of “sarkikov”, wh…[Read more]

YES or NO?LOL who is that God mike??? the father is Godthe son is God.So there are TWO Almighty Gods? And one of our Almighty Gods took the scroll from the hand of the other Almighty God?Is that what you think, jammin?

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 08 2012,19:46)Can Wisdom be divided, with all of her being in God while all of her is in Jesus?Is there scripture that says ALL wisdom resides in God?Kerwin, my question was: Can God be divided? A simple “YES” or “NO” will suffice.

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 07 2012,23:36)For when the things which we say seem to them probable, they consider that we fail in this one point alone, that we confess that there is another God, and that He is mortal.That is one of the major reasons that non-believers don't convert to Christianity.  Sensible people find it hard to take people seriously…[Read more]

Quote (jammin @ Sep. 07 2012,23:36)what is wrong with acts 20.28??Christ bought his church .. Christ is God mike.Read the Revelation verse I quoted again, jammin.

Charles and Kerwin,Although you guys both have different biased reasons for claiming that nonsensical things make sense, the fact remains that you are both still claiming that the nonsensical makes sense, in order to force the scriptures to fit around your personal doctrines.Let's suppose God is made up of 100% God.  Now, let's follow your…[Read more]
