In Response to one of dmateo's posts in another discussionHe said the following:to T8, Interesing question, are we created or are we partly created. Genesis 2:7 the LORD formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. What do you think of this part? The LORD created…[Read more]

Belief in no God is still a belief and religion is a personal or institutionalized system grounded in a belief . It is a belief system that says God doesn't exist. To believe in nothing is to believe in something. That something is nothing. The lack of something is still something that requires belief.It's like saying that you do not believe that…[Read more]

Perhaps you didn’t read the whole article. I quote the following from that article:<font color=navy>I can respect that you may have chosen not believe in God without proof and in that sense you have chosen to be an Atheist, but your claim to be an atheist is not a scientific one, rather a belief or religion.</font>You made the same point to try…[Read more]

The word 'depressed' is not mentioned in the NIV, NASB, RSV, KJV, Darby, YLT & the WE.Neither is the word 'depression'. 'Depressions' is mentioned in Leviticus 14:37, but that has a completely different meaning.The word 'despair' is found in the following scriptures in the NIV version.Deuteronomy 28:65Among those nations you will find no repose,…[Read more]

To Iyyob, No not at all.Different expectations at different times. God allowed intermarriage of families in the beginning, but was forbidden in the Law.Yahweh wanted to be Israel's King and the people wanted a King like the other nations. So God gave into their wants and set up King David on the throne to rule over them. But this came at a price,…[Read more]

Quote Bottom line ; no ; except he repents. ( personal note)Once you are enlighten unto the Lord and know His ways you are subject to the law. Paul gave an example for it would be better to be like him ( without a wife ) . In good conscience we cannot divorce our wives. But if she divorces him. It would be better not to marry again.            …[Read more]

The Book called “A Divine Revelation of hell” by Mary K Baxter, talks of her experience of being shown hell and contains vivid descriptions therein.One interesting account talks about Paradise and she says that in Hades/Grave ?  the part that use to be called Paradise as recorded in the Lararus scripture, is now part of hell as hell is increasing…[Read more]

Yes I have prayed for each one. It is good too see that you care and you believe in the power of prayer.

Amen.It is really obvious. God sent his Son. God didn’t send himself.

Hi thehappyman, I couldn’t make out what you were saying till I realised you were talking about the "Yahweh" bible.Kinda funny because I thought you were talking about Yahweh (God).cya

The complete absence of I John 5:7 from any of Luther's various editions and revisions of his Bible translation is confirmed by a number of sources.  First, Karl Braune in Lange's commentary, informs us regarding the disputed words:Luther never translated these words, but commented upon them in his second commentary on this Epistle, although he…[Read more]

It seems that there is a great debate raging on both sides as to the authenticity of 1 John 5:7, yet most (including Trinitarians) seem to believe that the verse was not penned by John.(“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”)First of all I would like to quote from a…[Read more]

Thx Peggy, I took for granted that I John 5:7 was a spurious addition to the text and was not penned by any biblical writer and the reason for it was omitted in modern translations. I was even told this by a close friend of mine who is a Trintarian who told me that the verse is actually a footnote in the Textus Receptus. So I guess I better do the…[Read more]

Hi Peggy,Sorry I made a mistake when I quoted the following paragraph.The last word god is not talking about God the person, rather God in nature. If the last part said  “THE Word was with THE God” this would actually disqualify the Father as God because it would mean that the Word was exclusively God.I meant to say the following:“THE Word was…[Read more]

Hi Peggy,Thank you for your post.John 1:1 is probably the major verse used to support the Trinity, yet even Trinitarian scholars admit that it doesn't say that the Word is God the person. The reason is that the last word 'God' has no article and articles are used in Greek to define people. E.g. 'The Jesus' when we would just sayJesus.This is how…[Read more]
