Quote (kerwin @ May 27 2012,19:34)Few debate against the idea that Jesus’ conception was miraculous; as he like Eve was created from a part of another human being.So then your original statement was flawed and unrelated, right?

The JWs come closer to scriptural truth than anyone else out there (although I'm not on board with them on EVERY issue). Your frequent quips to separate yourself from them make it clear that YOUR scriptural understanding is flawed on many issues.But I'm glad you brought up how carefully the scriptures were compiled. That kind of awareness will…[Read more]

What does your question have to do with any Biblical doctrine?

Yes Ed,They are so confusing that the very first dictionary site I pulled up listed exactly what I've been telling you.

That's right, Kathi. So Jesus the Priest can not subject himself to Jesus the God.I don't have an actual definition of a “dual-natured” being, because I don't believe one has ever existed. When Jesus was of human nature, he was of human nature. When he was of spiritual nature, he was of spiritual nature.In other words, there has never existed…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2012,14:44)Hi MB, If so you would find other examples in scripture.Why is that?  Are there absolutely no occurances in the whole of scripture that happened only once?  I can show you many.Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2012,14:44)If a carnal man like Simon had a demon should Jesus have left it alone for the sake of his p…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2012,14:47)Hi MB, You quoted me so you do need to back it up.What did I quote you as saying, Nick?Plus, please answer the question. I have plenty of scriptures to show, but I want to know up front if you doubt the fact that Jesus could have done nothing if not for his God. Do you doubt this?

Quote (Ed J @ May 27 2012,16:42)I believe “GOD” is not a person like you.Yet you agree with me that GOD is “an entity”.Ed,From your wording, it seems like you're saying that we both agree God is not a person.  But I know God is a BEING, and in my understanding, that means He is both a person and an entity.From Dictionary.com:Main Entry: BEINGDefini…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2012,14:32)Hi MB,Sure you are entitled to accept what you will.As are you, Nick.Tell me, is it POSSIBLE that Jesus was calling Peter “Satan” in a way such as one would call another “Hitler” for acting like a bossy dictator?Or is that a complete impossibility in your mind?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2012,13:18)Where is this written?”Scripture says that Jesus could do nothing without GOD.”Do you doubt that teaching, Nick?  Do you believe that Jesus, or anyone, has their own power apart from God to perform miracles and such?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2012,13:58)Hi MB, Why was Jesus not addressing a satan? Your opinion? What spirit were James and John of in Lk 9.55?Nick,I simply refuse to believe that Jesus' right hand man on earth was possessed by a demon – as if Jesus was preaching day to day, side by side with his adversary.As for Luke 9:55, I believe Jesus was…[Read more]

Yeah, we hijacked Wm's thread, huh? Okay Kathi, it seems the ball is in your court, as Asana and I have responded to your last posts.

Quote (Ed J @ May 26 2012,19:04)How do you figure this is any kind of an answer to my question?    …please explain how?Ed,Was King Nebuchadnezzar ever said to have been anointed with Holy Spirit from God?  How about the Assyrian kings that battled against Israel? Yet they still accomplished great things, right?Obviously, not one person could do…[Read more]

Another well written post, Pierre. It seems that jammin spends a lot of time HIDING BEHIND this “nature” claim. To me, that seems odd when scripture doesn't even specify that Jesus and God are of the same nature. (And yes, jammin, we all realize that you like to FORCE Phil 2 to say “nature”, despite the fact that the Greek word “morphe” really…[Read more]

Pierre,Good post, but Nick is with us on this one.  Our fight on this subject is against the evil powers of darkness………………. and Gene.  It is said that the greatest feat Satan ever performed is convincing people that he doesn't even exist.
