To WIT, Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Jan. 04 2005,14:01)It is intersting to note that the idea that we are all gods comes from the mysterious gospel of John.  According to many translation notes, the psalm passage being quoted is in references to judges or rulers, and if you read the whole psalm it is clearly about men ruling unjustly, (i.e. it's about…[Read more]

To WIT, Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Jan. 04 2005,14:01)Does that sound like a reference to an agent to you, or does it sound like something the Almighty did Himself?  For example, if someone said, “George Bush, on his own two feet, invaded Iraq”, would you think that that person was referring to agents of George Bush or George Bush himself?What about…[Read more]

Hi Nick, From what I can tell I think the following can be applied to the questions you raised.Why is it a woman?Perhaps because all those that love, worship and serve a god are referred to in a feminine sense. E.g. We are the bride of Christ and Jesus is our bridegroom. We are also referred to as virgins and virgins remain pure till they are…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Yes I also wonder about Martin Luther. Was he of God or of himself. Yes he helped to show the people that the Catholic Church was corrupt and he did restore some much needed doctrine. But as far as I can tell, he still upheld the Trinity doctrine and other Catholic doctrines. Does anyone else have more info regarding this?

Quote (wishywashyboy @ Dec. 22 2004,20:49)without animals, how could plants survive? plants require CO2 to generate their food, through the process' which most plants require, in an anaerobic state.Yes plants breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 (photosynthesis). But at night, they breathe in O2 and breathe out CO2, a process called respiration.…[Read more]

Here is a scripture for those who say Christ is just a man who didn't pre-exist before his time on earth.John 16:27-28 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” Notice that Jesus c…[Read more]

Q Why is it important that we know who and what Jesus is?A So we can attain the whole measure of the fullness of Christ and reach unity in the faith.Ephesians 4:13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Dec. 19 2004,14:04)I am glad that you bring this up. What exactly does it mean to create something through somebody else? Does it mean, by your understanding, that “Jesus” actually did the work of creation, and God only commanded it? In other words, “Jesus” hung the stars in place, laid the foundation of the world, and…[Read more]

Here is another scripture confirming that our salvation is dependant on us remaining in Christ.2 John 1:9Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

True that. Unless you wanted access to the fridge 24 hours a day, he he. But then again the Duke could have 10 fridges if he wanted. Better to be born of the free woman, than the slave woman.Galatians 4:22-2322 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was…[Read more]

Yes Jesus himself taught that no man can see God and when scriptures talk about a man seeing God, it is God's glory that they are seeing. That glory is often light or a divine being clothed in light sent to represent the invisible God, such as the Angel of the Lord.However this eternal God who cannot be fully contained within any finite boundary…[Read more]

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Dec. 19 2004,14:04)Nick and T8,I beg you both to plainly declare your faith.  Either stand by the statement, “I serve two gods”, or reject it.  If you do reject it, I would like to know why, since you both believe that “Jesus” is a god by his initial birth, and was only temporarily a man.  But if that is your faith, please ju…[Read more]

Hi Nick, I thought about this and I think the difference lies in who we are addressing. If we are addressing believers who are already baptized into Christ, then we talk about things like continuing in the faith, overcoming and belief etc. We should just as the biblical writers did, be free to teach such things.If however our audience is not…[Read more]

Hi holymackeral, Belief in the Trinity is not required for salvation. The Trinity doctrine seems to have replaced the true foundation for a lot of people. As far as our messiah is concerned you are required to believe that Jesus (Yahshua) is the Christ and the son of God. This is the foundation that you should build on. You are not required to…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 18 2004,18:20)Paul also speaks of those “who are sent”, those “who preach” , and “what” they preach-the message which is the “Word Of Christ”. And the Word of Christ was to be born again of water and the spirit. What they preached was to repent believe and be baptised and you will receive the gift of the Spirit.Anyone…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 18 2004,16:48)I also have problems with joejoe's view of the Book of Life. He seems to say that all are saved and have their name in the Book unless they do not believe. That is the false gospel of universalism. It fits with his 'believe and trust and you will be saved' approach too.To Nick, joejoe said the following:The…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 18 2004,15:25)joejoe is right about so much. He may have been right in everything but perhaps did not fully express it.I have found that even the biblical writers do this. They talk about salvation often but do not spell it out, like you have done in your second to last post. It seems that our message of salvation comes…[Read more]
