Hebrews 9:22-2622 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Sep. 24 2008,19:01)That's exactly the problem, Irene.  I'm losing faith in “what is written”.  Not losing faith in God, but in the written Word (not to be confused with the living Word).That's why I say it's useless and challenging to debate it any further.That is fair enough for you to make that choice. Seems pointless for you t…[Read more]

Thanks for your post Shania.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 24 2008,10:29)Hi, He was later considered to have become heretical.From NNDBThe Heresy of Tatian. As in the case of most heresies, we have only the partisan statements of opponents. Everything is therefore open to some doubt, but the following points seem fairly certain. “The heresy which Tatian either founded or adopted…[Read more]

God is our saviour.So how does God save men? Did he come to earth himself?Or did he send his son, the mediator between God and man?In the OT, God sends his messengers to represent himself.God is invisible and doesn't have a body like us. He is Spirit.

Jesus said “Before Abraham, I am” when asked if he was older than Abraham.That is why I said is it challenging because these are not my words but Jesus own words.You are free to disagree of course, but who are you really disagreeing with?

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 23 2008,20:00)Not at all. I cannot prove that Santa Claus does not exist either. The nature of any science is that you can make a conclusion but it is provisional. Your conclusion about god is not provisional on anything. Even if it were possible to disprove gods you would not accept that proof in any case.You are way off…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 23 2008,13:26)Irene….Prov 8 is talking about WISDOM a primary attribute of GOD the FATHER HIMSELF.  The word Jesus is nowhere in the texts, you simply putting it there. Read Prov 8:1-3, wisdom here is described as a women not a man. Jesus was a man. This is just metaphor of wisdom.  That the way it appears to me S…[Read more]

What about all your accusations regarding God being Santa Claus and the like? Sounds like a person with preconceived ideas and a closed mind to me.I choose to believe in God because I know he exists from my life experiences. So it is not just because it is the most logical explanation of the three, but I have had input from God too making it a…[Read more]

It is wrong to think that there is only one GOD and CREATOR and that's GOD the FATHER ALONE coupled with a non-preexisting Christ.Yes there is only one GOD and CREATOR and FATHER, but when God created Eve, he did so even though Adam existed and he also made Eve through Adam, yet it was still God who created Eve. So this simple demonstration shows…[Read more]

So what?You say that certain things are possible and others aren't yet the ones that are possible all happened without any guidance from intelligence. To your mind that may be possible to others it is not. Also you just accept that laws just existed, but you need to explain the framework that allows an expanding universe. The thing is that most…[Read more]
