Quote (Stu @ Feb. 05 2011,11:39)HOW is “the equation solved”?What “equation”?You have said absolutely nothing here theodorej.StuartSomething has to be infinite, otherwise it all came from nothing.

OK. Of the three choices available to us pertaining to how everything came to exist. You deny a creator by bias alone, leaving you 2 choices, either nothing or something eternal and non-living.When you dissect those 2 options, both an eternal something that is non-living and nothing, you can clearly see that they are impossible and foolish.Yet you…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 08 2011,05:15)t8And I didn't say that Jesus is the Father did I? Notice how you change it up using a “name” that identifies Jesus rather than using a title like “human” or “man” that identifies his nature as being like us, human.That was a sleight of hand as usual with your words.If you were honest you would have…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Mar. 09 2011,14:26)Who makes his angels spirits (their intellects),What translation are you using? I have never seen (intellects) in any scripture.

It took hundreds of words in the last three replies to communicate 8 new words.See how easy it is to follow my comment, when you don't unnecessarily quote all of the above?Tell you what. You wouldn't want to print a topic in Heaven Net, (unless you wanted a big carbon credit bill or didn't mind reading each post about 5 times).

Hi Irene. It is certainly an interesting topic and you raise some pertinent verses on the subject.Quick question: If Hell/Hades doesn't exist, why is it said to be thrown into the Lake of Fire? And why does Jesus give a parable based on it?

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 09 2011,03:37)I will not debate with someone who denys all scripture as being inspired. What is the point?Does that also include 1 John 5:7-8 (The Johannine Comma), John 5:4, Acts 8:37, and Mark 16:9-20?

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 09 2011,03:29)So Thanks Mike for admitting that the word “God” in referring to Jesus can mean that Jesus is The True God and that he is your “true god”!John 17:3Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.Question to you WJ. If Jesus Christ is identified as…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ Mar. 09 2011,10:34)The holding place for the dead (hades) was cast into the lake of fire when Christ returned in ad70. Upon their death the righteous go straight to God now in their bodies from heaven. The wicked go straight to the lake of fire when they die.KJThat could be the case if we assume that we are bound in time and…[Read more]

WJ, yes it also says that when the angel blew the fifth trumpet, John saw the souls of the righteous under the throne of God.It is commonly assumed that the souls John sees under the altar (v. 9) are in heaven because the altar is assumed to be the altar in God's heavenly temple. When we read on in the book, we discover that this assumption is…[Read more]

Thanks for your input KJ.

WJ.It is not just my interpretation but of many scholars, bible translators, and even Trinitarians.Because to literally read it as “the Word IS THE God” is to actually exclude others including the Father as God and that interpretation is clearly wrong. And to read it as “the Word WAS THE God” is to exclude the Father as God in the beginning.Here…[Read more]

Good post Mike.

There must exist a holding place for the dead and according to at least one parable there was a place for the wicked and another for the righteos and they are/were separate. Now we do know that Hell (or whatever the Greek word for that is) exists.Because God throwns Hell into the Lake of Fire.So instead of an eternal hell where people burn…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ Mar. 08 2011,01:51)t8,You have answered your own question a thousand times. You have said that Jesus is God qualitatively. This means that he is God in His very being.being 1.
