Irene,Did you understand my last post to you? Any comments?peace,mike

Any idea why some people were able to log on after 12 hours and others, like me, had to wait a whole week? Perhaps the internet provider we use?

Quote (rebellman @ Oct. 21 2011,02:23)Hi guys and gals,I'm kind of new to this site and so I have been trying to get a handle on some of these topics, but it seems to me that by this time most, if not all, have devolved into personal attacks, which edify no one. All you people seem so full of yourselves, that it really makes me wonder if anyone…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 18 2011,19:56)Mike,Quote No, we're not.  Paul not only says “ALL things” once, but TWICE.  There is no mention of “only new things”.  So to imply that is what is meant is to write your own version of 1:16.Nonsense!You are contradicting the very idea of only believers dwelling in Christ Jesus with the teaching you hold to.I fi…[Read more]

Bump for Kerwin:Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 16 2011,23:55)My answer was in the form of explaining to you how God being the Maker of all things fit the context of Ecclesiastes 11:1-6.Let's see if you're right:1 Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.What does verse 1 have to do with the act of creation?2 Invest in seven…[Read more]

Quote (rebellman @ Oct. 20 2011,18:25)I have to agree with Mike………..I hope that I have not thoroughly offended everyone……….No offense taken here!      

Quote (shimmer @ Oct. 17 2011,20:15)Mike, it's the 'fruit' that matters in the end you know.Doctrine doesn't.God will look on the heart and intentions of all, no matter what you know.Hi Shimmer,Following the commands of God and the one He appointed as Lord and King matter greatly.Your statement makes it seem that as long as I worshipped Satan with…[Read more]

Quote (rebellman @ Oct. 21 2011,19:04)Prior to the incarnation of the Word there was no difference between God and his Word whatsoever, just as there is no tangible difference between me and my hand.Hmmmm…………….In the beginning was the Hand, and the Hand was WITH Rebel, and the Hand WAS Rebel.Something that is a PART OF a particular being…[Read more]

Gene, A or B? Why are you so afraid to answer? Why do you keep avoiding and diverting and flooding the thread with unnecessary nonsense?Just answer A or B, please.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Oct. 17 2011,06:33)Mike…………You and your ignorant Co-Hart need only produce ONE Scripture that Shows Jesus was there that is all Just ONE.Gene,All I'm asking is HOW, if Jesus WASN'T there, could the dinosaurs have been created FOR him? In what way did God create the dinosaurs FOR someone who wasn't even around until…[Read more]

It's like this, Pierre:Mike – Pierre, Jesus is not God, but the Son OF God.Pierre – That's correct, Mike.See?  No need to delve any deeper, right?    That's why I appreciate the Trinitarians and Non-preexisters on this site.  

Btw Ed,What I gathered from Pierre's answer is that he who follows the teaching of Christ and does the will of their Father in heaven is a true Christian.Do Catholics do this?  Or do they worship THREE Gods that they confusingly try to combine into ONE God?It's hard to generalize everyone in a certain religion.  Take our discussion about the J…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 17 2011,15:23)Do you believe Catholics are Christians, yes or no?Could you please point out where you did actually answered it,because I certainly did not see any CLEAR AND CONCISE answer?I just find it HILARIOUS that you are using a "YES or NO" question and complaining about not getting a CLEAR and CONSCISE answer on a thread…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 17 2011,16:51)Hi Mike,Do you believe the "Glory" spoken of in verse 17 is Jesus' too, rather that JEHOVAH's?Ed, it is verse 18, and YES, it speaks of Jesus' glory. It also speaks of our own glory becoming greater as we become transformed into Jesus' image.  (Compare Phil 3:20-21)

Quote (Ed J @ Oct. 17 2011,16:51)Honest answers don't strengthen incorrect positions.And THAT, my friend, is the bottom line of this whole thread.  And the moral of the story is:  ALWAYS give HONEST and DIRECT answers.

Quote (terraricca @ Oct. 17 2011,17:08)KerwinGod calls the part of the each man that controls the  actions, thoughts, and emotions of the whole their spirit and that spirit falls short of God’s righteousness unless God transforms it by his power, just as he transformed earth into the body of Adam.  That is an act of creation because it is done by…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 16 2011,23:55)So we are back to debating which creation is being spoken of in Colossians 1:16No, we're not.  Paul not only says “ALL things” once, but TWICE.  There is no mention of “only new things”.  So to imply that is what is meant is to write your own version of 1:16.If YOU want to write your own scriptures like Gene do…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Oct. 16 2011,15:32)but to you, you learn and improve in the same time,this gives you good practice in the word of God,That it does, Pierre.  I learn way more because of the Trinitarians and Non-preexisters here than from anyone else simply because I have to delve deep into scripture to refute their claims solidly.  And d…[Read more]
