Quote (Lightenup @ Nov. 12 2012,12:41)do we need to know, believe in, and serve, in order to gain eternal life?Ultimately it is one God that we believe and serve to gain eternal life.He delegates his authority firstly to Christ, the head of the Church and our Lord. Then to angels, apostles, prophets, teachers, preachers, etc. And even down to each…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Nov. 12 2012,22:35)Or are you instead attempting to complement me for well organized posts?I am not against well organised posts. Actually I am for it.But the content of a post is 99.999999999% more important than the presentation.By all means keep up the good presentation, but concentrate on the message, not the numbers.Nobody reads…[Read more]

Quote (Richtuner @ Nov. 12 2012,03:44)How do we get that personal and intimate relationship with Him?To get to know anyone, you need to regularly communicate for one thing.

Quote (Lightenup @ Nov. 12 2012,10:29)Could the workers of lawlessness be those who did not love their neighbor as themselves? Wouldn't that be lawlessness if that is the summation of the whole law?Good point. It would certainly be a factor at minimum. Also not loving God, which of course would equate to not knowing God and the one he sent.

It is true that there could be another 10000 years for all we know.But Jesus is coming for us in the next 50 years or so.Why can I say that, because we will likely be dead by then and to be apart from the body is to be present with the Lord. The dead will precede the living at his return, so we should live as if he was coming back in our lifetimes…[Read more]

Thanks for posting that Edj. I thought it was pretty good and some good research went into that guys message.It didn't however change my opinion about superstitious English numbering systems. But I do agree (and previously agreed) that there are significant biblical patterns regarding what numbers mean and because the Hebrew and Greek have their…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 11 2012,16:25)Ed, these prophesies are thousands of years old.  The U.S.A. has been around for a couple of hundred.One thing we know for sure is that people in every generation try to point to things in their society and timeline that match up with Biblical prophecy.  To me it's like numerology, or like reading a h…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Nov. 11 2012,15:10)You won't need to study biblical eschatology very much to discover America is notably absent from the list of key nations (Israel, Iraq, China, Russia) that have a part to play in the end times. My view is that the 'super-power' status they currently hold is temporary.Wow, I actually agreed with something you…[Read more]

Amen to that 2besee.

God must exist because if he didn't, you wouldn't exist.

The word known would be to know him as opposed to just knowing about him. I haven't got to check the Greek and Hebrew, but when Adam knew his wife, that was very different to knowing he had a wife. I think the word “know” in that sense is also how it is used with regards to knowing God.i.e., A deep intimate relationship.

Quote (Lightenup @ Nov. 11 2012,01:39)After you answer my last question, please tell me how many persons who were ever called 'the theos' anywhere in the Bible, are to receive praise, honor, glory, and power for ever and ever.Please post all other scriptures or at least a few that call Jesus Theos, and then I will be better able to answer your…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Nov. 11 2012,01:39)Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”So what does this prove?That there is one who is God and another who is the…[Read more]

Adam became a living soul when God breathed into the nostrils of man. This is an impartation of the spirit and it gives life to the soul.Also the spirit and the soul is likened to the bone and the marrow.I guess bones are dead without marrow.
