The only destination I offer is what the scriptures truly teach – no matter what's popular in today's society.Today, Kerwin has joined the ranks of Pierre and me by adding his own voice to the scriptural truth that Jesus is a god, but not The God.  That is the scriptural fact of the matter; and accepting scriptural truth – however unpopular – is…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ May 30 2012,21:03)BD,you said:Quote Jesus said about The Almighty: John 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.Notice that Jesus spoke of himself here as something seperate from “GOD” using “and” if Jesus was part of a membership called God he could not…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ May 30 2012,09:53)Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 30 2012,12:02)My understanding is this:If our ONE and ONLY God Almighty has a Son named Jesus, and Jesus DOESN'T have a Son named Jesus, then Jesus cannot possibly BE our ONE and ONLY God Almighty.Brilliant!

Quote (kerwin @ May 30 2012,00:56)Provided the punctuation is correct and John is not speaking of the Only Begotten of God then he is speaking of the Word and not Jesus though the Word is doing all things through Jesus at that time. John 1:30 applies the same words to Jesus Christ because the Word continuously does all things through…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 30 2012,23:50)So you know that Jesus is not his own God and Lord…….. but he is one of the gods and lords that is in heaven or on earth; even the Chief One.Hallelujah!  It's good to see that yet another HN member is willing to place what the scriptures actually teach above the more popular, general consensus of the world as…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ May 29 2012,19:46)It was the man who ask him to swear to God he would not torture him Because Jesus had said to the “MAN”, for the evil spirit to come out of HIM.Hi Gene,Was it the man who asked for permission to go into the pigs?

Hey Asana,I'm truly glad you came back.  God Bless

Quote (Lightenup @ May 29 2012,17:41)Mike,I do not believe that Paul is making a pecking order, he instead is stressing that Christ is essential to us having a relationship with God because God is who Christ belongs to and is directed by.I agree that only through Christ can any of us come to God – this is scriptural.  But think about it, we go…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ May 29 2012,17:40)I just replaced Only begotten with Jesus Christ;since he is the only begotten Son of God.I agree, as that is the ONLY logical scenario.  After all, we all know that Jesus Christ is the only begotten of God, and would naturally possess the glory of the only begotten of God.Quote (kerwin @ May 29 2012,17:40)John…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ May 29 2012,11:54)BD,There is one Lord and that is Jesus. Do you think that means that the Father is not our Lord also?But there is not literally one Lord, is there?  In fact, Paul begins his statement by saying there are many gods and many lords, both in heaven and on earth.In 1 Cor 8, Paul is placing Jesus and his own God and…[Read more]
