“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson‎”Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, …..give him power.” – Abraham Lincoln.”Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” – Albert…[Read more]

I demonstrated aptly that you were on the short end of the stick regarding Albert's quotes.Here is another:“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”When it comes to talking about anything, if it doesn't fit in a test-tube you dis…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 22 2011,01:02)Spirit can not die it is something that we all recieve into our Souls after berth or a resurrection Spirit (intellect) is added back. God can remove Spirit and add Spirit into us HE can renew our complete thinking.But here is the thing that I don't think you are able to see yet.You say that a new spirit…[Read more]

When God breathed into Adam's body, he became a living soul.But you say he became a living body.Why doesn't scripture say, “living body” if that is what was meant?T8…………..

Hi princess.I think the said person looked too closely at the pendulum to see if I was correct and it cracked him in the skull, judging by his comments at least.

Regarding the law and the commandments.They are not done away with because sin is still present.But for those who are under the law of love, and love God with all their being, and love mankind as they love themselves, then they are not subject to the law that was made for the sinner, unless they stray into that territory of course.A bit like the…[Read more]

He has become too much like Mikeboll with his incessant repetition.Not at all, Jack.  If I was the one having this debate, you would have only heard, “Does Jesus have a son, Jack?” over and over until you actually ANSWERED the question.…[Read more]

Gene. When God breathed into Adam's body, he became a living soul.But you say he became a living body.Why doesn't scripture say, “living body” if that is what was meant?

Stu, you spend half your life trying to pull down what I say and to be honest, I don't read most of it because of what I do read, it seems lame to me as it lacks any creativity and is really just a bunch of 'no no nos, my bias doesn't agree with that' comments.Anyway, your activity appears to be symptomatic of Albert's following quote:“Great s…[Read more]

Of course the pendulum idea is not representitive of what Albert said. I never implied that.I merely made an observation on how people see the extremes and miss the place where there is no extremity or bias and how history shows one group or view dominating, only to be replaced with an opposing but equally worse and extreme group or view.You might…[Read more]

Stu, do you not think for one minute that you do not believe in God because of poor understanding of causality? Do you not fear the possibility of a God that judges and sees the hearts of men and thus prefer to believe that there is no God because it is more comfortable to do so. What about your desire for support and to belong to a group who have…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 20 2011,18:01)Einstein was subtle in what he said.  Are you subtle enough to understand it?From the Holy Wikipedia:”In a 1930 New York Times article, Einstein distinguished three styles which are usually intermixed in actual religious belief. A poor understanding of causality causes fear, and the fearful invent supernatural…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 20 2011,18:05)Why? It is bollocks. Should the pendulum fall evenly between geocentrists and heliocentrists? Should you be deficient if you do not allow yourself to be drawn into a central position with Catholics?You missed the point Stu. Perhaps the pendulum was going to fast for you.It is often extremists that get their way.…[Read more]

Thanks for your input Kerwin.Something to consider.

Quote (Pastry @ Sep. 19 2011,23:07)The following two verses are the ones that raise the questions concerning the difference between “spirit and soul”:”May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  “The word of God is living and…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Sep. 20 2011,06:18)Do you know what a predicate is t8?Yes Is. If Jesus says “I am the bread of life”, then the I am is not meant to be taken as the I AM in the Old Testament.If someone says, “Are you Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus says, “I am”, that too is not to be confused with I AM of the Old Testament.You are confused on this Is…[Read more]

I strongly agree with this one.“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” Many blunders of science and religion can be boiled down to ignoring the other.There are plenty of examples.Ignoring belief in a creator for example leaves you with the foolish proposition that everything either came from nothing (impossible) or…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Sep. 19 2011,18:16)T8,Quote Spirit and soul are 2 different words,I am going to make the same statement in two different ways by using two different words to mean the same thing.I own a husky.I own a dog.Now consider that spirit and soul are used in the same way.I have a soul.I have a spirit.Both can be speaking of the same thing…[Read more]

The I Am argument is easily refuted on many fronts.Let's go with the I AM theory for a moment. Now watch as it falls apart.Why would false witnesses be sought in Jesus trial if they had true witnesses in attendance? The arresting officers heard Jesus say “Ego eimi.” They could have stoned him right there in the garden for blasphemy, but they…[Read more]
