No problem at all.

Quote (david @ Jan. 22 2009,18:27)Is it just me, or is this idea that God will save all completely ludicris and against scripture?Not just you david.It is a repeated teaching in scripture that the wicked will perish and be destroyed. I think this is God's mercy to the wicked because God is merciful. I think to live as a wicked person cut off from…[Read more]

There are pre-existence discussions going on in more appropriate threads. Any chance of moving this there?People will locate what you are saying more easily if it is in a discussion with a title that resembles what you are saying.Thanks.

Scripture is clear.It says that God created the universe 'for' and 'through' Christ/son. John 1:10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.1 Corinthians 8:6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ,…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Jan. 18 2009,17:30)T8…….The problem you have with the word (through) it can equally be (FOR) or (by) the same word is used interchangeably through out scripture as i recall.To Gene.Colossians 1:15-16 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or…[Read more]

Your argument is not with my imagination, but scripture.Also, I haven't died yet.John 5:28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,Matthew 27:52and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;This event is mentioned in more than one gospel.

Quote (Lightenup @ Jan. 19 2009,06:45)Hi Martian,Just want to interject something here.  The logos of John 1:1 “was with” God in an active voice not a passive voice.  Do you understand the difference.  It has to do with Greek grammar. A plan doesn't do an action but is passive and acted upon.  The verb “was” here, is written in an active voice and…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Jan. 17 2009,18:54)Nick………..So your God is stupid then and only has the Knowledge or intellect of whats good, how stupid can anyone be to believe that. You can say what you want about my God but He has (ALL) intellect of (ALL) thing Both good and evil and know How and when to use them also. And naturally it would sound…[Read more]

Agreed. By trusting scholars without question is to put your trust in man.

Hi sirius1.Thanks for your observations and encouragements.I have to say that in living in a doubtful generation, no matter what is thrown at me, I think that it is almost impossible for me not to believe and would be a great sin if I chose to fall away from God because of such great revelation and proof.Paul said it like this in Hebrews 6:4-6:4…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 17 2009,21:39)What is the Greek word that translates as “through”?Hi Kerwin.Hebrews 1:2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.Many try and write this verse off by saying that it is not saying that God created all things through him, but…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Jan. 17 2009,21:39)There is also the argument that scripture states he did not speak to the people until these last days.Hi kerwin.What scripture?This one?Hebrews 1:2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.Coz if it is, then it doesn't say…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 16 2009,19:09)Hi t8, The word is translated as Messenger nearly 100 times in the OT. How many do you think should rather be ANGEL?Don't know really, but my point stands. i.e., that we trust the translators to tell us what type of messenger by using different meanings that they decide.I just happened to think that it is…[Read more]

The biggest shame here is that he has deceived many and now many must be disillusioned. Hopefully they don't blame God because of him.
