Mike, I did that test in IE and it had no bearing on the pages downloading because the icons loaded last. In other words I was able to see each page before the icons download.This leads me to believe that you are using an old version of IE because I know that in old versions around IE6, the browser engine needed to load everything in a HTML table…[Read more]

Test post in IE to test speed of social icons.

But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.“I am not aware of a…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 20 2013,17:25)Daniel, what did God Almighty tell Moses His name was when Moses asked Him? “YHWH”? Or “Joshua”?Hmmm. YHWH.What do say Daniel?

Gene, when Jesus said “Before Abraham, I am” he was saying he existed before Abraham. “I am” means I exist. “I think therefore I am”. When God said “I am that I am”, what did he mean? So when Jesus says, “I am”, he was implying not that he was God, but that he existed just as God exists.Let the Bible interpret itself, and throw away your own…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 20 2013,14:46)To me, these things just seem like simple, God-given common sense.  But I've noticed that those who attempt to force the words of scripture to support their own, man-made doctrines, often do so at the expense of common sense.Agreed. It still surprises me when people argue against common sense. This proves to…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Mar. 20 2013,12:16)The “Early Church Fathers” are completely inconsistent in what they wrote, IMO. And also why did only their writings survived all of the burnings? I would not trust them at all, and 'yes', I have read them.It is this misunderstanding of their words that has led to the Trinity. If you understand the usage of theos…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Mar. 20 2013,12:16)t8, I am not Arian any longer. So when you say that there is one God uncreated and then the Son (created)…. ?I believe as they did that the son was brought forth/begotten/came directly from God. Creation is thus defined as all that is made from God and through his son.Someone had to be first right? This is what…[Read more]

It is inconsistent since there are two other verses in John 1 alone that have the word 'God' in them but NO ARTICLE and they refer to God who is unseen.2. The article…[Read more]

Quote (2besee @ Mar. 20 2013,00:07)t8, I thought that you were an Arian? The “Early Church Fathers” were not Arians but were Trinitarians. If you read their writings, you will get confused. I know that I did. They were inconsistent in what they wrote.All that you need is in the scriptures — and then there are other writings which were considered…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Mar. 20 2013,04:48)Instead of going to the trouble of just insulting me and exposing your weak character, why don't you challenge me with scripture? That would seem more productive, don't you think?Did. Do. Will do in the future.

Quote (Lightenup @ Mar. 20 2013,04:48)Does that truth threaten your understanding or something?Well let's see. Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God. Jesus is also the offspring of David. No Binity here Kathi.So that would be a no Kathi.

Stuart, if you are wrong, then that makes you deluded as well as a not so brilliant scientist too.I believe you are wrong. You cannot even have a healthy discussion about first cause or how the Big Bang got going from nothing. I bet these guys would love to talk about such things because they were truth seekers, (unlike yourself). Probably why you…[Read more]
