I don't have an agenda here Lightenup, but Jesus is referred to as an angel, just as John is.Mark 11 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 It is written in Isaiah the prophet:   “I will send my messenger ahead of you,      who will prepare your way”— 3 “a voice of one calling in the desert,   'Prepare the way for th…[Read more]

Quote (SimplyForgiven @ Aug. 06 2010,18:13)ITs a no brainer that its God, who is the source of life,But specfically, IS Jesus the source of life?I think you can look at it like this.Is Adam the source of Eve?Yes he is.But God is the source of Adam, and he is the Father of all.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 11 2010,02:49)t8You once said…”The Father is 'who' God is and the “Spirit” is 'what' God is”.So instead of using the word “Substance” since that seems to bother you, though it is a “Scriptural” term, lets use the word “Spirit”.There is “One Spirit”, and my Bible tells me that “the Lord is that Spirit” and that the…[Read more]

Taken from this site:http://askville.amazon.com/John-di….4543694Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion in regards to what happens after death. Some hold that after death, everyone “sleeps” until the final judgment, after which everyone will be sent to Heaven or Hell. Others believe that immediately after the mom…[Read more]

That is true guys.You have also use those same words against me, when you should be disputing or commending the teachings.Please do not label people unless they call themselves by that label.Calling people names that they do not wish to be called is wrong and immature. When you were in school you normally got chastised for calling people names. It…[Read more]

What do you get when you cross an atheist with a Jehovahs Witness?…. Someone who knocks at your door for no apparent reason.

17,000 atheists in the Middle East rioted this week after a blank sheet of paper was found on a cartoonist's desk.

No, I didn't try any other method. I just did it my way, and then gave up and started on beer after that.OK, I was a teen. My kid has got one in his toy box. I should bring it out and come up with a new method, but time is in short supply these days.

When I was at school I came up with my own method. It involved getting the top layer right (minus one), then finishing the corners. After that, you got the bottom layer right by placing them one at a time and this usually sacrificed a square on the top layer, but I had one square at the top out of place, so I didn't sacrifice anything.After I had…[Read more]

Quote (RokkaMan @ Aug. 09 2010,03:28)I watched a video where a woman killed her son, because God said it was necissary to send him to heaven.Abraham lived pre the new covenant and pre-Moses. So it is certain that God didn't tell that woman to do such a thing because the true God has a covenant in place with us that he will not go against. When God…[Read more]

I agree that fruits are more important, but this forum is about scripture and doctrine and not fruits. And if it was about fruits, then bragging about our good works would be counter-productive. Although we can demonstrate some fruit here like giving (of our time), patience, wisdom, etc.But doctrine is important because we are instructed to keep…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Aug. 10 2010,16:40)T8,Are you addressing the point I was making?  If so I was going by the New International Version translation of Colossians 1:17.   Though upon hearing what you state I decided to check other versions and found that the same passage is translated in various ways.Thanks kerwin.I was quoting 2 other scriptures t…[Read more]

Actually the texts says that all things were made THROUGH him.Another scripture says that there is one God the Father FROM who all things came and one Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ THROUGH who all things came.Think of Eve. God created her, but THROUGH Adam. Is that correct? And were you created? And through whom?And now understand that the man is…[Read more]

I think it matters Shimmer, because the first commandment matters.If the Trinity violates the first commandment, then it violates the most important of the 10.

Well I suppose you could say that the fruit itself is that people believe correctly about God and if enough people believed correctly, then the fruit would be unity, and if there was unity, then there would be power, and if there was power, there would be signs and wonders confirming the truth.It may however be hard to gauge initially because in…[Read more]

This is a general post from a moderator.It would be nice if people just stuck to scripture and let others decide for themselves what people are like. We are quite able to judge what people are like without having to be told.If a person cannot read an abusive post and know that there is something wrong with the person who wrote it, then explaining…[Read more]

I agree Lightenup. But Trinitarians use the word substance and essence, so sometimes I use these words so they can relate. But yes, nature is what I mean.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Aug. 03 2010,07:47)Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 02 2010,15:20)Isn't a better question what the original disciples of John thought John was saying?  Ignatius used the term ''unbegotten God'' and ''begotten God.''  That should be sufficient to say that one self-existed and one did not self-exist but was made to exist by the s…[Read more]
