Faith is accompanied with fruit or evidence. To me it is an actual substance that enables things to happen.It produces that which you believe, so it has to be tied with truth.Although if you believe a lie strongly enough it can produce that which you believe too, but with negative consequences. An interesting problem in quantum mechanics is that…[Read more]

Quote (martian @ Aug. 10 2010,08:13)What does it mean to have “faith” from an Hebraic perspective? In our western minds faith is a mental exercise in knowing that someone or something exists or will act.That seems more like belief which is one up from hope.

Quote (Kangaroo Jack @ Mar. 31 2010,04:34)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. This disproves that He is God how?thinkerQuite simple to prove.Do you have God inside you or has God ever lived inside you?If you think yes, are you God?

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Aug. 08 2010,08:21)The trinity concept goes way further back than Tertullian. Note the three sections I bolded in red.The first points out the two persons Moses called "YHWH" in Genesis 19:24. The second one is a quotation from a  manuscript which calls Jesus God. The third one says that Christ was the adviser in…[Read more]

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]

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.

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.
