How do you explain the following verses:Some I have already mentioned.John 115 John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' ” 16 From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through…[Read more]

A politicians question provides 2 possible answers. Do you want this, or do you want that.Case in hand: The Australian government wanted to issue ID numbers to it's citizens. So the proposal for an ID card was launched and the public went spare. Demonstrations and other forms of protest were common place and it was evident that the Australian…[Read more]

Some interesting points here. I like the idea of the King and pauper being the same person, in order to get a different perspective and see how things really are.I also like your following quote:The Bible is not a Complete Idiot's Guide To Truth And History. Atheist biblioskeptics demand that……Yes it is strange that people demand God to come…[Read more]

I have a question:”How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord:       “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”David calls him 'Lord.' How then can he be his son?”

I think your technique of breaking thinks down and paraphrase opens up the meaning and clarifies any confusion.I agree, I think your way of looking at scripture is very logical and does show up the meaning clearly.Don't let this compliment go to your head though.

I agree that love and fear work in tandem as you say. Love gives us hope and fear warns us not to get in trouble. If the revelation of the consequences of sin stops a person from making mistakes, then fear has worked as it is suppose to. But I think that fear (like anything else) can also be abused. Like using it to make people loyal to your…[Read more]

I totally agree. The truth is what matters and anything else is either the word of man or a doctrine of demons.If the bible repeatedly talks about 'destruction' of the wicked and repeatedly uses the word 'perish', then who are we to argue with that. I know that the Roman Catholic Church used the doctrine of being tortured forever as a fear…[Read more]

Scientists believe now that the universe is not only expanding but it is speeding up at an ever increasing speed. If this is true, then we are left with some interesting questions. With this supposed increasing expansion rate , we can only assume that if it is indeed true, that the expansion may reach a peak and become steady, or it will reach a…[Read more]

IN reponse to sunnyb's post, I have decided to start up this topic.His quote is as follows”Quote interesting tid bit to throw out there being a physics geek…In I John 1:5 it says that …God is light… and other places he is represented by bright lights. The reason that nothing (anything containing information) cannot travel faster than the…[Read more]

I have just downloaded the file and will hopefully read it soon.Thanx

To glI was wondering how you are going? How did your situation pan out?I hope it all turned out for the better.

Your quote: If the common idea of the origin of Satan is only an inferrence, why is this one idea so widely taught? First of all, many things are taught by inference. That is why we have to study the Word. It's not all spoon fed teaching in the scriptures. Some things have to be studied deeply, so that only those who actually bother will know and…[Read more]

I have put a new page which contains an amazing dream. It really spoke to me and showed me the difference between mans works and the works ordained by God. It is written in a style similar to Pilgrims Progress, but is a lot shorter to read.Anyway here is the page Escape from Christendom.If you have read it, then let me know what you think by…[Read more]

Here is a scripture that could be referring to the Son of God. I have heard many say it is because they believe the Angel of the Lord is the Son of God, but it I admit that it could be just an Angel however, such as Michael or Gabriel. I would like to explore the identity of the Angel of the Lord at some stage.Daniel 324   Then Nebuchadnezzar the…[Read more]

To SearchingForTheTruthYou said that the quote In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day in Ezekiel is referring to the future i.e the 6th millennium. I do not see it this way for the following reasons. The mentioned date is normal and consistent with the other books of the prophets. The dates usually refer to the year of the current…[Read more]

I will reply soon. For now I will carry across Hebrews 1:1-3 from the trinity post.1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of…[Read more]

I saw this from another web site and thought I would include it.By Bill MooreUntil Laurence published his English translation of 1 Enoch in 1821, hardly anyone had ever heard of the Book of Enoch. Today, little has changed. Many have heard of 1 Enoch, but not too many have read it (even among those who are preparing for the ministry). Part of the…[Read more]
