I also offer these words from Tatian (165 A.D.)God was in the beginning, but the beginning, we have been taught, is the power of the Word. For the Lord of the universe, who is Himself the necessary basis of all being, inasmuch as no creature was yet in existence, was alone, but inasmuch as He was all powerful, Himself the necessary ground of…[Read more]

To John, I thank you for your posts and I am still searching this out. I think the following is an interesting quote:Christ… the Power of God, and the Spirit of God, as the Word, the Reason, the Wisdom, and the Son of God. I offer these quotes from Tertullian who wrote in the early 200's.The object of our worship is the One God, He who by His…[Read more]

To Ramblinrose, thx for the links. Will let you know what I think.

To ringo111,Quote This does not make her (wisdom) to be Jesus. Jesus says she(wisdom) has children- That wisdom makes actions. And besides this- In proverbs- Wisdom is not said to be Hung on a tree- or a sacrifice for sin- wisdom is not called the son of the most high GoD, The lord or anything Like Jesus position- she directs people to Jesus who…[Read more]

Hi ringo111, nice picture/avatar BTW.I am saying that 'she' is used when it is referring to wisdom in concept and in the masculine when talking about a person. Another regularity when personifying something is the article. E.g The Truth is different to 'truth'. One is a person and the other a quality.I personally do not see that wisdom is a…[Read more]

I forgot to say this: The word 'she' is often used when talking about objects or concepts. We even do it today when we talk about things like our house, boat, even the wind for example. When 'he' is used it is usually used in reference to a person.Wisdom is referenced as 'she' in the conceptual part of the scripture and then as a 'he' or man after…[Read more]

To ringo111,Genesis 3:1Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?” 2 Corinthians 11:3But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and…[Read more]

Quote (ringo111 @ Mar. 02 2004,16:22)Luke 2:40And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.*You see the spirit of wisdom was given to Jesus- That is how we learn from Her- Like Jesus learnt from her. Keep Searching yo ^_^Jesus also learned truth even though he is the Truth. He was filled with…[Read more]

Fair enough.I changed it.

I challenge anyone who believes in Evolution to provide some proof that it is true/fact and I challenge all those who do not believe it to provide some proof that it is wrong.

I am reading the part about the Holy Spirit or holy spirit located here.The writer suggests that the article 'the' is never present so it is really saying with holy breath/spirit, filled with holy breath etc.If this is so, then surely it is significant. We see the same thing in John 1:1 where the 'Word was god' is not preceeded with an article so…[Read more]

Luke 3:23-38 23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, 24 the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melki, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, …………………….. 38 the son of Kenan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam,…[Read more]

Here is what I believe so far with regards to Revelations. Does anyone agree or disagress, and why?The Beast is a system that comprises of the 7 world kingdoms, including Babylon and Rome. The beast can also refer to those Kings that ruled those kingdoms because they are the mainfestation of the beast in certain seasons.The Beast is a Satanic…[Read more]

thx thehappyman, I have prayed for these people to be healed and that they would know that it was God that healed them.

Thought I would bring this post to the front.I am still seeking information regarding the Logos and it's meaning.Logos is translated as Word, and can mean a thought and/spoke word. Some say expression, even soul. Was/is the Logos a person in his own right?Was/is the Logos ever once just contained within God?Is Jesus still the Logos?
