Quote (Arnold @ Aug. 06 2010,02:49)Even that should not be tolerated, it is not like a Christian at all…. I also believe that the Moderators are somewhat slake in given a tile.  Martian did receive a warning from Heaven, but not a tile so all could see that He got a warning.  What is so funny, that at the same time I got a false warning from s…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 05 2010,13:38)Hi Martian,You said this about me in the John 6:62 thread on Aug 4th:I simply saw no point in going on with someone that is obviously dishonest. I choose to not debate with someone from the IMM.For those of you who do not remember IMM is Imitating Monkeys ministry. That is how Mike compares following Christ.…[Read more]

Jesus taught that when your enemy slaps your left check, give him your right.In some sense if you didn't like Jesus you could make the argument that he condoned being abused. But I think the point that is suppose to be drawn is that we are not to fight back and give cause to retaliate. Rather by being nice, you can make your enemy feel bad about…[Read more]

Hey Gene.When a murderer says, “The Devil MADE me do it”, I guess with your doctrine should he not be forgiven.After all, he was not free to do otherwise according to you.I await your possible reply as it depends on whether you are allowed to by reason of being able to make that choice.

There are Old and New Testament references to 'angels of the LORD', 'an angel of the LORD', and 'the angel of the Lord'. It seems when the definite article 'the' is used, it is specifying a unique being, separate from the other angels. The angel of the LORD speaks as God, and exercises the responsibilities of God.The appearances of the Angel of…[Read more]

Quote (Arnold @ Aug. 04 2010,06:47)But it does not say that the Angel of the LORD is Jesus.  On this one I agree with Nick.  I do not see a clear Scripture that says that Jesus is an Angel.   He was the firstborn and is the Son of God.  Even though the Angels are also called Sons, but they did not come forth fro  Jehovah God.  While Jesus did.…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Aug. 04 2010,01:52)KJ………..> Simply put (ANY) Angel of the Lord is a Messenger of the LORD if GOD sends Him forth,  To try to force the text to (ONLY) Imply Jesus is wrong as many scriptures show that.  peace and love………………………geneCorrect.But when it says “the Angel of the LORD” it is specifying a p…[Read more]

Does the bible condone slavery?If yes, where?

Quote (Stu @ Aug. 03 2010,17:41)And what do you think was his most telling point against me?StuartIs that a double stump?Stumped about what you are stumped about?

Thanks for your post shimmer .

This is a replica of a post I made in the Angel of the LORD topic, (5th post down).https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….7;t=749================================================The following is food for thought regarding the meaning of the word angel.The word angel means 'messenger' and is not always referring to cherub. The Angel of the Lord…[Read more]

Bump.This topic seems relevant or related to other topics taking place.

Quote (JustAskin @ Aug. 03 2010,11:12)Thanks for the tip on Notepad. I save something to the notepad once and could never find it again – is it specific to the thread (I guess so!)?The Notes link is next to the Log Out link.But be careful, because saving to Notepad overwrites the old content in Notepad.

Quote (shimmer @ Aug. 03 2010,08:35)Quote (Arnold @ Aug. 03 2010,07:41) t8 Men are called Angels? Would you please show me a Scripture that shows that?Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it.That is an interesting scripture.The word angel is applied to men too.

Quote (JustAskin @ Aug. 03 2010,10:40)I was writing a load of stuff on mi mobi then the battery ran out and I lost it all… should take heed of those little beep-beeps!!!Or should have saved it as a draft (save to notepad button) at least and then carried on.

Angels are messengers and messengers is applied to the heavenly host as well as men.Scripture often translates the same word as angel when it talks of heavenly beings and messengers as men when it is appropriate. The thing is, it is the exact same word which I cannot remember off hand. Might be Malawk? Malachi's name is a related word as he was a…[Read more]

Just an observation from reading some pages about midway in the topic. I think that BD made mince meat out of your atheistic beliefs Stu. I think he beat you fair and square. And I think the reason he stumped you on a number of occassions is because you are arguing for something that is false, so your job is much harder.BD makes many good points…[Read more]

Quote (francis @ Aug. 03 2010,05:40)How do you know slavery is wrong? And how do you know that your ethics is better than God's? You can't use your own ethics as evidence that your ethics is better than God… because that would beg the very question being asked… which is, how do we know your ethics is better than God? And if you say that you…[Read more]

Quote (francis @ Aug. 03 2010,05:40)Your statements appear to be completely contradictory to each other. For example, how can you say that you DOUBT EVERYTHING… and yet in the next breath say “Which is why I believe what I believe is true”? If you doubt EVERYTHING, then why do you not doubt that statement of yours? Logically, if you DOUBT…[Read more]
