Quote (david @ Aug. 27 2011,14:16)Quote And so far, you've offered no insight into the fact that the men in chapter 5 seem to be aged when they begin begetting offspring.  Or none into the fact that Noah was 500 years old without children.  Or the fact that his sons were all pushing 100 years old without children.I find this very bizarre.Mike, h…[Read more]

No, but it does say, “male AND female, He created THEM”.  And only later does it say he put one of these men in the Garden, and made a helper out of the man's body.Pierre, you seem defensive here.  I am not claiming anything as fact, or pushing my current understanding on anyone.  I'm only looking for insight into the questions I've raised.And so…[Read more]

The best part starts at 3:30 into the video.

Quote (thehappyman @ Aug. 27 2011,08:34)Well; have we ever considered this question? Why is their an adversary?I've always assumed it was because God didn't create “yes-man robots”.  He gave us all free will, in the hopes that we would all CHOOSE to follow Him, as opposed to being FORCED to follow Him.As long as there is free will, there will…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 26 2011,20:34)2 Thess 2:16?Okay Kathi,I've spent a little time researching today.  I've also discovered 1 Thess 3:11, which also uses a singular verb to describe the actions of the Father and Jesus.As far as I can tell, these two scriptures are the only ones to do so.  And we can consider these to be proof that the Father a…[Read more]

But Gene, How is it that the Word AND the man Jesus BOTH had the glory of God's ONLY begotten Son?

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 26 2011,23:10)The being of God is God just like the flesh of a human is human.  To take a part of God from God means you have two Gods that are both worthy to be worshipped.God is a spirit being, and would therefore beget, not Himself, but another, different spirit being.  What you imply is that people would bow down and pay t…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 26 2011,21:15)Hi Mike,So Jesus was the only begotten of God? <– YesHi Ed,And as the only begotten of God, it is fitting that Jesus had the glory as of the only begotten of God, right?The Word who was made flesh also had the glory as of the only begotten of God, right?  So if Jesus has the glory of God's ONLY begotten Son, and…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 26 2011,20:34)Mike,Jesus taught that we are to worship Jehovah our God.  So do I.  The Father and He are one.  That would mean that we would worship both.Actually, Jesus told Satan, who was asking Jesus to worship HIM, that we are to worship “the Lord your God and serve Him ONLY”. The word was “kurios”, not “YHWH”. And Je…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 26 2011,20:32)When a woman begets her child, the child didn't instantly come into existence…the child had to already exist to be begotten from her.The way I understand it, a child starts development in the womb the second it is begotten by the father.  Nine months later, the mother BEARS the child, not BEGETS the…[Read more]

The title “Christ” should be a dead giveaway. It refers to one whom God has anointed. Surely God has not anointed Himself?
