Zeitgeist refuted again

Just doing some maintenance and stumbled across this thread.

I noticed two things. The first was that Kerwin didn’t read the topic correctly.

The second was something I noticed when I had a short look at the video ‘Zeitgeist Religion’. It says in that video that the Three Kings that gave gifts to baby Jesus are three stars in Orion’s Belt (I…[Read more]

That is true.

And what is love.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love has fruit…[Read more]

Jesus said “before Abraham, I am’. That is what he said. His sheep hear his voice. Those that listen to another shepherd might disregard that.

Nick, you misunderstand what it means to be inspired. It does not mean automatic writing, or taking control of someone’s voice box and making a broadcast. It is about submitting to God, something we should also do.

Jesus spoke only what HE heard his Father speaking. And did only what he saw his Father doing. Obviously you need to understand w…[Read more]

1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Love never ends…

That is true. Love for one and another and even to love our enemies as the Lord Jesus instructed.  Love has fruit that we can all see.

We are judged by our fruit as that shows the root. Good fruit means a good tree.

Obviously there has to exist a place that is untouched by the fire.

What is it if the wicked are taken to that place and cast into the fire upon the guilty verdict.

t8,

Philo is actually stating that it is qualitative. In short he claims the Logos has the qualities of God but is not God. Philo did teach the Logos was the Christ.

Yes, the mention of theos in John 1:1c doesn’t have a definite article and logos does.

Philo was not of the Spirit of God or he would not have tried to mix the pure with the ungodly wisdom of men.

Not sure about Philo. He could be right, maybe not. But I do know that those who do not love are not of God.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not…[Read more]

t8,

If you take to “came in the flesh” in its literal sense then it means “he came wearing flesh”; for example she came in the blue gown.

I suppose you are attempting to use it metaphorically.

No he actually existed in the form of God, emptied himself, and came in the flesh. I believe it as it is written.

But you seem to assert that all messages in scripture about being saved is written to the saved. So how do we determine the message to the unsaved if that is true?

Nick, Jesus answered a question that was given to him. It actually says in the text: JESUS ANSWERED.

You won’t talk me out of this.

 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”  Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am

By this scripture the Apostle Paul is teaching the church about humility and referring to the “mind of Jesus Christ”, and the scripture states “who being in the form of God…”. It is speaking of him as Jesus Christ not as pre-existent being. “Who being” is present tense.
It does not say “who having been in the form of God…” or “who u…

Hi t8,

Before Abraham was I am.

Was this from Jesus or the Spirit?

48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Truly, tru…[Read more]
