Snippet from the Book of Enoch========================XLVIII. The Fount of Righteousness: the Son of Man -the Stay of the Righteous: Judgement of the Kings and the Mighty.48And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousnessWhich was inexhaustible:And around it were many fountains of wisdom:And all the thirsty drank of them,And were filled with…[Read more]

Not only does scripture teach that Jesus was with the Father before the world began, but so does the Book of Enoch.In addition, the second century fathers also believed this.But the fact that the bible teaches this is enough.To teach this has nothing to do with being hell bent.Try heaven bent.

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Dec. 13 2011,01:38)This is a question primarily for T8, but anyone can answer, of course.Can something come from nothing?  Let's put it to the test with a specific example:Where did God come from?A) Someone, (i.e. an intelligent being)B) Something, (i.e. a non-intelligent thing)C) Nothing, (i.e. nothing)If I understand the…[Read more]

Quote (jammin @ Dec. 12 2011,13:40)t8 said:Jesus is the image of the invisible God and the fullness of the deity in bodily form.This means that the invisible eternal spirit the Father who is above all cannot be seen.me: i think this is vague. pls explain this again. jesus is the image of the invisible GOD. this is clear in john 1:18. no one has…[Read more]

The thing is, someone must be getting the money.Who is it?China?

Jesus is the image of the invisible God and the fullness of the deity in bodily form.This means that the invisible eternal spirit the Father who is above all cannot be seen. We can see his glory however, and Jesus is the fullest expression of his glory.When men saw God face to face, they saw the messenger of YHWH.For example when you read about…[Read more]

Bod, it is this that you do not believe and hence why you are not a believer.God didn't want to sacrifice his son, no Father would.But he did it anyway because he knew first and foremost that he could raise him from the dead, and in doing so, he could take all those that believe with him.

Gene. Spirit is the essence of life.Without a spirit you do not live.It would be more like electricity (life/power) for a computer than the data held in the computer or the software that uses the data.If you took away power to a computer, it would have no soul and the case (body) would be good for nothing.God's spirit gives us life primarily and…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ Dec. 12 2011,10:19)t8,The sword is one of the representive spiritual divises (powerful weapons for protection in fighting – armour) that are used to fight off the wiles (schemes, strategies, deceits) of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). Clearly the sword represents Father Yahweh's inspired word.I agree, however, truth is also from…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Nov. 30 2011,18:17)Perhaps the best analogy would be to ask what colour irony is.Something that is made of iron.e.g., that coat of armour is very irony.

Quote (Stu @ Nov. 30 2011,18:17)It makes no difference to the reality of it how many times I explain it. You did modify your claims about evolution somewhat, but I don't think you will modify your nonsense rhymes regarding the origins of the cosmos, because I don't think you have the capacity to understand it.Stu, in one sentence what is the…[Read more]

Does anyone know where the New Zealand earthquake topic went to.I thought it was in Prayer, but can't find it anywhere.

God spoke through his prophets and now his son.Yes that is right. It doesn't say that God spoke through the prophets and then himself.God doesn't speak through himself, but as himself or through others.

Actually if you combine Spirit and Word, you can get Sword.But my point is that the sword is of the Spirit and not the Spirit itself.Likewise truth is of God, and Jesus is the truth.But that doesn't make Jesus God? Or does it just means that as a person he personifies this attribute of God.

New Zealand is multi-cultural.It is predominately White, followed by Polynesian. Asians are increasing in population and it is predicted by the year 2050, that Asians, Polynesians, and White will each be a third of the population.

I think the preacher is making the argument that his people excuse their bad behaviour by blaming the white man who enslaved them.He then points to a nation that was free of slavery and shows that with no excuse to blame the white man, what excuse is left.I think he pointed out that the African nations (or other places where they exist) were not…[Read more]

Edj.Too much water has gone under the bridge for me to read it all, since our last communication.You say that the Word is the Holy Spirit.So I want to ask you what you think the sword of the Spirit is.I think the sword is the word, but you say the spirit is the word.So what is the sword then?

Interesting post theodorej.

I don't see racism either.I just see a man saying it as it is and recognising a problem in order to affect a solution.In New Zealand, the native people are the Maori.Compared to the white majority of this country, the Maori do not live as long and are more prone to certain medical conditions.Being aware of this, the problem is addressed…[Read more]
