I think it is funny when a person pretends to be intelligent and says there is no God.Can't help it. It is as funny as those creatures saying that they just got there and then proclaiming themselves to be intelligent.Sure if they didn't know any better, then who could blame them. But a person who thinks the Universe just happened is just being…[Read more]

Wow, maybe proof they are evolving into Atheists do you think? Or maybe they are like kids who love the parents, but still want to go out and explore the world. But notice what happens when you move, like kids they follow, but are not attached to you the whole time.Also, imagine if you were sent to give them a message about their creator. And they…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 28 2013,16:08)jb, I very rarely read long posts. I just skim over them quickly. But I was glued to your posts and read every word slowly. You write well, and display a well-founded knowledge of what the scriptures teach. And best of all, you actually provide scriptural support for everything you claim.I am with you…[Read more]

My goal was really just to see if someone knows of a church that teaches the truth. Who knew it would lead to 11 pages!!jb2u,There is nothing wrong with reasoning as God's servants often do it.I…[Read more]

I am not sure what your question is. Explain it clearly and simply and imagine that I cannot read your mind.

Quote (Colter @ Mar. 29 2013,00:27)Your problem Stu is that you are a one eyed Kiwi who's life seems dedicated to convincing others of the virtues of partial blindness.Ha ha, that is funny and true.Stu even thinks I believe that the iPhone was not created and that living things were according to my last post.Wow, imagine not seeing the piss take…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 28 2013,17:24)Hi T8, You mean like doing an internet search to find those who agree with your premise. You might be better served by listening carefully why others disagree with you.Yes it also includes Internet searches for valid reasons that others may have in supporting what we believe. It is called learning from others.And…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 28 2013,17:20)Hi T8,Gematria doesn't teach anything; but “Theomatics”, however, confirms the supernatural aspect of the God of the bible.No need for you to complain about me commenting on something YOU brought up. Now back to the topic.God blessEd J (Joshua 22:34)I did make a valid point Ed J.Is it not better to study the Word…[Read more]

We have multiple translations and some are better than others, and the same is true for each verse. Some do a better job than others.That said, in modern times, we have many more texts to translate from including older texts than what they had when the KJV was translated.The Dead Sea Scrolls was perhaps the greatest find of all and the KJV…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 28 2013,17:08)Hi T8, Does studying the nuances (of Greek) teach you to disregard “very clear scripture”?The opposite Ed J. It helps us to understand what the scriptures teach.Otherwise we are at the complete mercy of the English translators. We are digging deeper than modern translations to see if things are so. Criticizing us…[Read more]

Yes Jesus said that Ed J. Gematria didn't teach us that, and nor did the KJV exclusively teach men that. Texts before the KJV including the Dead Sea Scrolls and translated Bibles after the KJV teaches us this.So you have proved neither point Ed J.But by all means continue to ignore the elephant in the room Ed J. That way we can provide more ways…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 28 2013,16:28)Kathi,I just follow the rule YOU taught me a long time ago:  Always assume the default meaning UNLESS there is clear evidence to the contrary.Great advice, and surprising to hear that Kathi actually said that. Kathi, if you won't listen to us, then what about your former self?

Cheers Mike.

Wrong Ed J. Crackpots could engage with Crackpots and get a taste of their own medicine. And anyone else could engage with them too. And it would help clean up the lunacy in good topics in the Believers Area. And if a Crackpot had a good argument that could not be refuted or had new evidence for their teaching, they could be allowed back, so long…[Read more]

Quote (jb2u @ Mar. 28 2013,10:46)Well I conceded that things can be one set or one thing. As for the Shema….the Jews believe that it clearly states that God is one and not one set!!!Now my point was not just that he used I, He, Him. Those were in addition to. The context of those verses that He wanted Israel to know is that God is One. That IS…[Read more]
