And don't princesses have their every need catered to day and night?  Who do THEY cater to?That is one of the reasons I'm no longer with my son's mother.  She too considers herself a princess, and thinks any guy in her life was put there to cater to her.  Oh, and because she's a princess, she has never in her whole life been wrong about an…[Read more]

Yep.

Ed, Pick your battles wisely. You use up a lot of time defending a translation that was made, quite well, from the oldest and most reliable mss available AT THE TIME. It stands to reason that if OLDER mss were found with LESS words in them than the LATER mss, those words were added in at some time.The KJV translates many of these words that…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Jan. 20 2012,17:12)Read the verse you posted again: He is YHVH and him is Jesus Christ!That's right Ed.  And because the “He” is Jehovah, and the “his feet” belong to Jesus, then COMMON SENSE tells us that “all things” wouldn't include the God who put those things at Jesus' feet in the first place, right?In fact, just in case there…[Read more]

Gene,Don't even talk to me until you're ready to give me the DEFINITION of “spirit” in Luke 24:37, okay?I quickly glance at your posts, and I always notice that you are against me at every turn.  And I laugh to myself because you apparently aren't even aware that you and I agree on this thread!  The question of this thread is whether or not s…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Jan. 20 2012,16:24)Mike……….they used the Phrase according to the Flesh becasue they know people like you were trying to say He was something different then a flesh and  blood being like the Gnostic's for instances. Actually Gene, they used it for people like YOU, who think Jesus was never nothing more than a man just…[Read more]

Quote (ftk @ Jan. 20 2012,04:42)At any certain or particular time (this is the individual coming of Jesus), ''the word'' of truth, Jesus/God…. comes to a man, he is then faced with the judgment of the word of God! If he accepts and believes his salvation truth, cleansing from sin, the truth in his heart(repentance) and makes Jesus(words) lord of…[Read more]

Hi Ed,We are many times called upon to use our God-given common sense in scripture. Consider this:1 Cor 15:2727 For “He has put all things under His feet.”Wouldn't that mean that God Himself is also under Jesus' feet?

Quote (Stu @ Jan. 20 2012,15:40)And men have enough to contend with, right, what with women being so impossible due to their menstrual cycles and everything.Those cycles sure bring out the worst in some of them!

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Jan. 20 2012,15:34)I am speechless.You just placed women on the same playing field as dogs, and you have no sense of how wrong that is.I don't believe I did that at all.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 20 2012,14:35)MikeIt's amazing how you can see clearly that Men have a degree over women but cannot understand that this same principle is the reason for slavery and even for Islam o have a degree over Christianity.I have no problem with offering the people of the land you just conquered the opportuity to serve you,…[Read more]

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Jan. 20 2012,15:16)No, that's what you wanted us to look for.  It was a diversionary tactic that had nothing to do with the original point that the bible is a negative influence on society, in general, and on individual believers, in particular.You tried to pull one of your sleight of hand magic tricks, and Tim called you on…[Read more]

Quote (toby @ Jan. 20 2012,01:49)Hi Mikeboll.In regard to your question, 'Do I believe Jesus is now a Spirit'  Yes.Scriptures say that Jesus is now a life giving Spirit.  Agreed.  And do you believe the following scripture?20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will tr…[Read more]

Quote (TimothyVI @ Jan. 20 2012,05:11)What about this one Mike,It doesn't have anything to do with a town that God gave you.Are you going to kill your friend or brother because he doesn't believe in your God? “If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods,…[Read more]

Quote (barley @ Jan. 19 2012,20:35)Scripture does not contradict itself. For the author of scripture, God, would not not contradict himself.Could this be a figure of speech?

Quote (shimmer @ Jan. 19 2012,20:34)In regards to what you said above, as noted from 'NETBible', Mike, why use a site that does not have the Literal translation?It's got the exact Greek words listed down farther on the page I linked you to.And Biblos.com, which I often use, has the KJV as their default when checking the Greek text.  So if the KJV…[Read more]
