Quote (journey42 @ Jan. 12 2012,16:58)Wakeup brought up a good point.If God has no beginning, because he is from everlasting, then why do the scriptures say, In the beginning was the word?Because the Word in John 1 refers to the Word of God mentioned in Rev 19:13. It refers to a being OTHER THAN God Himself – a being we know as “Jesus”.In the…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Jan. 12 2012,15:10)Yes.   You can make them yourself in the kitchen sink using a soap solution as a proxy for other similar naturally-occuring organic molecules.  Seeing them is a bit difficult, but they are there.So these are actual, LIVING beings, that come to life spontaneously by themselves?  And there is NO other living thing in…[Read more]

Quote (TimothyVI @ Jan. 12 2012,04:21)Hi Mike,If you chose to believe what some preacher told you that a parable means instead of what Jesus himself said,that is your choice.Hi Tim,I don't go to any church meetings, nor do I have a preacher who tells me things.  The Bible is my guide.  And if you are not able to see from the scriptures I quoted t…[Read more]

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Jan. 12 2012,10:04)I am not against the bible.  I am simply pointing out that it is often wrong and unreliable.I haven't read where you showed me it was “wrong” yet.  I've only read where we don't fully understand what was being taught.Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Jan. 12 2012,10:04) Quote (mikeboll64 @ Jan. 12 2012,06:34)WIT, can you e…[Read more]

So Marlin,Is the Word of God also the God he is the Word of?  Is the Father of God also the God he is the Father of?  Is the Son of God also the God he is the Son of?  Is the Holy Spirit of God also the God it is the Holy Spirit of?I think you need to brush up on the meaning of the word “of”.The scriptural passage you posted says NOTHING about Go…[Read more]

And what “nature” is “God”?For example, there are billions who share “human nature”.How many beings share “God nature”?It seems to me that in order for it to be considered a “nature” at all, there must be more than one being who partakes in that nature.And if you're speaking about “spirit nature”, then it works, because there are many beings who…[Read more]

I agree about the excessive celebration part.  These clowns today don't even have to score to celebrate.  They dance around like they're God's gift to the game just for doing what they're paid millions to do – like tackling the dude with the ball.But I'm glad America is advanced enough to know this is a sport that certain people do for a small p…[Read more]

Obviously not, for after Peter fled, he followed and hung around…[Read more]
