Quote (Ed J @ Feb. 26 2012,16:12)I'm still waiting for you to seriously comment on Heb.12:9. How many times must he comment on it before you address his comments?  You can't just say, “that's your opinion”, and think you've made an actual rebuttal, Ed.For one, it is not David's opinion, but what the whole of scripture teaches.  Are you oblivious t…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2012,13:11)Hi MB, Certainly the Spirit of Christ, now Christ Jesus, came down from heaven.John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.Is it the spirit of Christ talking in the above verse?  YES or NO?Is it God speaking through Jesus? YES or NO?

Bump for Frank – from the top post of page 313:Frank, I would like to see your DIRECT response to t8's excellent point that if John was informed in his revelation that Jesus is CALLED “the Word of God”, is it so far of a stretch to believe that John, later when he wrote his gospel, actually CALLED Jesus “the Word of God”?Your info mentioned Hagyah…[Read more]

Nick,This is what I posted to you:Quote (mikeboll @ 64)Nick, I would like to see your DIRECT response to t8's excellent explanation about “I am”.  Do you assert that Jesus was talking about HIMSELF for many sentences, and then all of a sudden, on the last sentence, God overtook his words to claim the obvious that He (God) existed before Abraham?…[Read more]

Ed,I read David's answer just today. Surely you can find it.

He doesn't believe it DESPITE the fact that Jesus himself CLEARLY said, “I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN”One has to be purposely plugging his ears with his fingers to not “hear” those words from our Lord. The question is………..WHY?

In fact, Jesus is and was God's main spokesman.  That is why he alone is called “the Word of God” in Rev 19:13, John 1:1, and 1:14.  P.S. There is a question waiting at the top of this page for you, Nick. Please DIRECTLY answer it.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2012,11:15)Hi T,Indeed I believe what scripture says of the Spirit of Christ, now Jesus Christ.That Spirit is from God, in the form of God, with God and of God.And is that spirit, which is FROM and OF God, also God Himself?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2012,11:02)Hi MB, You really need to decide whether or not you will agree with scripture that he was a man.Yes, he was a man, Nick! How many times do I have to say it? Now, show me what was scripturally inaccurate about the first post on this page.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2012,11:02)Hi T, Jesus called Mary his mother.Luke 8:21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”It seems Jesus also called his disciples his mother.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 26 2012,11:55)Hi David, Yes you cannot understand these things. But they are basic.What does that crap even mean, Nick?  Man up and scripturally defend your claims for once instead of making condescending, nonsensical ad hominems – which we all know are designed to hide the fact that you can't defend your doctrines using…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Feb. 26 2012,11:34)On acts 51. You lied to the holy spirit (of God).  2. You lied to God.3. You cut the finger (of David).  4. You cut David. We understand that statements such as 3 and 4 can both make perfect sense together:  you cut the finger “of” David.  Or, more generally, you cut David.  And even though we all realize that…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Feb. 26 2012,09:38)There are “only” two (Spirit) positions available in Heb.12:9.This verse allows for no other position of the “HolySpirit”, other than “A” or “B”.A. The “Father of Spirits” is the “HolySpirit”.B. The HolySpirit is one of the “spirits”(?) that the Father of Spirits is the father of.  Or C:  The Holy Spirit is an “…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Feb. 26 2012,08:18)Jesus was simply telling that Before ABRAHAM was Born He was (In Scripture placed ahead of HIM)Unfortunately for you, Gene, that is NOT what Jesus said.  Hmmm………….how do you put it again?The fact is he didn't say that, now did he?  

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Feb. 26 2012,08:37)Mike ……….I have told you many time i believe they DO HAVE BODIES. But that Body Is (NOT) A SPIRIT “BODY” Because there exists not such thing as a SPIRIT “BODY”Actually Gene,You have said many times that you DON'T KNOW what the bodies of angels are made of, right?Is there a scripture that would…[Read more]

What scripture says is that he was existing in the form of God, then emptied himself to be made into the likeness of a man.Scripture says that since the children are flesh, he too had to partake in flesh.Your Lord himself said, “I came down from heaven”, Nick. Why not just believe him?

Quote (david @ Feb. 25 2012,19:41)Nick………………why are you incapable of discussing scripture like an adult, conversing back and forth? Do you know how frustrated you would be if others always did this with you?

An arrogant scientist was talking to God one day.  He said, “God, with all the scientific advancements we've made, we can now create life, and therefore don't need you anymore.”God said, “Show me.”So the scientist grabbed up a handful of earth and started heading to his lab.God said, “Not so fast – go get your own dirt”.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 25 2012,15:09)Hi MB, In which way was this man different?In many ways, Nick. Has there ever existed a man without sin until Jesus? Has there ever been a man born of God and a human virgin woman until Jesus? Has there ever been a man who came down from heaven until Jesus?

Kerwin,Do you believe that John the Baptist was Elijah?
