Opinions are fine, so long as they are not taught as fact or are not taught in a manner where you say others must also believe as you do.Sometimes opinions lead onto us learning new things.Often God gives us a conviction, then we discover that scripture backs that up. At that point you can teach it.Otherwise we can say, “I think” or “my conviction…[Read more]

Israel is depicted in Jeremiah chapter 44 as worshiping a purported 'Queen of Heaven' who had given the world a saving son, and was known as the “Mother of God”.Suspicious is it not, that the icons of Madonna and Child were esteemed by Babylon hundreds of years before baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem.But then, God knew of the conspiratorial genius…[Read more]

Some Hobbit children.See hobbits do exist.

I wasn't joking when I said “Frodo says hi”.This is Frodo in Wellington at the premier of LOTR.I took this with a serious zoom lense from a building, but I guess it wasn't serious enough as he is a little out of focus.

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Aug. 19 2006,15:06)Included among this list of examples of Heterosis is John.8:58. In other words, although properly written, “Before Abraham comes to be, I am,” with “I am” in the simple present tense, the meaning points to the future, “Before Abraham comes to be, I will.”Some people believe this verse should be translated,…[Read more]

Quote (Oxy @ Aug. 19 2006,20:20)But to me the word trinity has only ever been a way of saying 3. Nothing more.Hi Oxy,But do you not think it a little suspicious that the 1st commandment is that the Lord thy God is one God, yet today many say he is 3 or triune.

Quote (seminarian @ Aug. 18 2006,15:26)Let me weigh in here…..The Bible clearly teaches that Christ's return will catch people unawares. In other words it will be a surprise event. How is Christ's return going to be a surprise event when we are in tribulation for seven years? I mean just start counting down for 7 years to his return from…[Read more]

Of course there is a Father and a Son and Spirit.But the way the Trinity doctrine mashes them up as one being or substance is not only rediculous but it breaches scripture. There is no problem in finding verses that mention the Father, Son, or Spirit. That is by no means proof of the Trinity doctrine. The Trinity doctrine cannot be verified by…[Read more]

True.Yet it is also written somewhere that the body goes back to the earth and the spirit back to God who gave it.I wonder how that fits in?

Quote (Oxy @ Aug. 19 2006,03:21)Far out t8, that is so far removed from what I believe that it's not funny. You see, I was never taught that church stuff.
