Quote (Is 1:18 @ Sep. 22 2007,11:32)Yes, but you also argue that men will one day be divine and I'm pretty sure you have used this verse in John to support that.I say that we can partake in divine nature.Whether that actually makes us divine is not is open to discussion.I wouldn't be surprised however. After all eye has not seen and ear has not…[Read more]

That is not the argument I am making here. It is simply that the word “theos” was ascribed to them and it says “sons of the Most High”. So saying that Jesus is God Almighty because “theos” is ascribed to him doesn't prove that he is God, because “theos” is used in reference to sons and angels too.I have said all along that the words “theos” and…[Read more]

But he is not worshipped as God.As the son of God and the Lamb of God. But not God.

Jesus said “You are theos”.He said it.In Psalms it says, you are theos, you are sons…It's kind of silly to pretend that Jesus never said it and that it doesn't say “sons of the Most High” in the verse he quoted. And we will be like Jesus. He will call us brethren/brothers. So if Jesus were the Almighty and then he calls us brothers, then that…[Read more]

Quote (Laurel @ Sep. 21 2007,18:36)Do you believe His Word? or like many do you believe the Friday to Sunday twist?I don't have an opinion on this.

WJ.No one can see God and no one has seen God at any time.That alone rules Jesus out. He is visible. Scripture says so.To say otherwise is to again twist that which is written to suit a certain belief.whom no one has seen or can see,no man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared…[Read more]

Hi seekingtruth.I hope to see you back here too.Thanks for all the encouragement and your thoughts over years.God bless.

Hi Mandy.See you back in a couple of months. Enjoy life and come back refreshed.Take care and thanks.

CultB in his own mind places himself in the truth category and then places most everyone else into these other (wrong) categories. He appears to think in carnal ways and even in this carnal logic he gets it wrong. There is in actual fact 1 regular JW member here.The poor man cannot let scripture sway his mind and he holds on to these traditions…[Read more]

Quote (IM4Truth @ Sep. 21 2007,05:28)Does anybody ever consider that God was a title. God has been used for other Kings and Emperors before. Jesus did exist before the world began. Will give scriptures, but I want to say this first. Before He became Man there is no other name given to Him except that He was the Word in John 1. But that does not…[Read more]

OK, so you admit that it doesn't matter how long you wait, the 1973 Oxford dictionary will never appear and same with the million dollars. OK that is good.Now you essentially believe that there was nothing and then a singularity exploded and the expansion of this explosion caused all that we see today including the existence of a banana.So say 14…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Sep. 20 2007,20:11)T8,Where in scripture are we explicitly warned about worshipping Yeshua “as God”? Which biblical writer cautions us against extolling Him too highly?There is also no caution as to worshipping Michael the Angel as God either or extolling him to highly. Where is it written that a woman shouldn't extol a man too…[Read more]

Good one kejonn.I meet regularly with believers here in NZ and we are looking at the elementary teachings about Christ and then onto the foundational doctrines after that.I have brought some teachings on these subjects already and all who attend are welcoming of what I have to say, because they seem to of the same mind regarding the experience and…[Read more]

As Christians we should understand the elementary teachings of Christ. The most basic of truths regarding Jesus is that he is the son of God and the messiah.Yes there are cleverly devised doctrines that lead men away from this elementary truth and they should be exposed for what they are.

You don't believe in miracles? Are you sure?You cannot make a banana and if you did, it would be a miracle according to you, yet non-intelligence made many varieties of bananas, according to you.So you do believe in miracles, the miracle that non-intelligence formed the banana.Of course not all miracles are genuine.
