Hebrews 2:14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same……….Look to verse 9 of the chapter to see who the writer is speaking about. (Hint: JESUS, not “the spirit of Christ who later ENTERED Jesus”)

That's just what theologians say, Nick. The actual scriptures speak of many gods, over which Jehovah is the Most High God.

Hi Pierre,I think the majority of those who have died spend their time in Sheol/Hades, where except for certain rare circumstances, they are conscious of nothing at all.  (One rare example would be Samuel being awakened at the request of Saul)I believe this is where Abraham, Samuel, and David are.  I believe that when they are finally r…[Read more]

Yeah Francis,I got the joke and it was a good one. Especially in light of your words “So to sum up THIS SECTION” – as if that novel was only the first section of many to come! So AMEN to you taking a break so soon into your discourse.

1 Cor 11:3Now I want you to realise that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.Charles, does your “head/trunk” analogy work equally with the others who are mentioned in this scripture?

Charles,Not only did you begin your post by claiming the unscriptural and untrue – for Jesus is definitely the anointed one OF God, meaning that God anointed him, but then you go on to post a scripture that says GOD is the HEAD of Christ – eliminating any possibility that they are either equals or the same being.And you end by writing some stuff…[Read more]

Hi Gene,I believe that Enoch exists in heaven, along with Elijah and Moses. That understanding does make “firstborn from the dead” a hard read, though – and I don't have the answers.

Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2012,01:04)There is two “para”’s  in the sentence and therefore in the first use Jesus is asking either to be glorified with God or in his presence.  In the second is speaking of the glory Jesus had with God.  The “with” in “with the” is inferred.  I am not seeing where you are going with all that I do see that you are…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2012,01:04)Quote (mikeboll @ 64)No Kerwin.  What it says is that Jesus is BOTH the Root AND the Branch of David. That is one of those paradoxes you insist on believing in despite knowing God is not a God of confusion.  Jesus is the root of David’s faith and the offspring of his body.There is no “paradox” here, Kerwin.  Co…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 28 2012,01:04)Mike,Quote (mikeboll @ 64)Scripture teaches the pre-existence of Jesus in MANY places, Kerwin. Scripture does not teach what you hold to; it does teach that the Spirit of through which God lives; came down and made a home in Jesus.  It teaches us that same Spirit both preexists Jesus and reveals the Word of…[Read more]

Nick,Let me rephrase the question since you seem to be having problems with it:Do you agree that the words in John 1:14 say “the Word BECAME flesh” – not “came to be IN someone who already was flesh“.  YES or NO?

Quote (francis @ April 28 2012,06:50)Where were the disciples of Jesus in the plan and purpose of God if we are to believe the Quran in 4:157 ?  How on earth  could they… and why would they have… just sit down and let the Jewish leaders spread lies about the crucifixion if  Jesus didn't die as you teach?It is absurd IMO that God would de…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 27 2012,22:11)Hi MB, You understand the words but not who spoke them.You still only see the vessel.Tragic.Nick,Did the Word BECOME flesh?  Or did he “come to be IN someone who was already flesh”?   Which conclusion does John 1:14 bear out?

Quote (jammin @ April 27 2012,23:12)Christ is truly GOD by nature mike. but the son is not the father. the father is not the son but they have the same nature, GODjammin,Jesus is the Son of God.

Quote (jammin @ April 27 2012,23:11)paul said that Christ is equal with GOD. he IS GOD BY NATURE!No he didn't. Paul said that Jesus was existing in the FORM OF God. The Greek word refers to the outward appearance of a person or thing.
