Quote (Lightenup @ Aug. 29 2011,07:26)My answer to Mike,I can't answer for satan, nor will I entertain what was on his mind.  Sorry but I am not going to discuss what he may or may not have thought.  You can respect that or not.  I already told you before you made this thread that I will not spend my time on this, I only answer now to give a re…[Read more]

Is God evil.Are we evil if we allow our sons and daughters to drive a car?Yet they can potentially kill a person with a car.Likewise God is not evil if someone drowns someone in water because God created water. It is the one who chooses to do evil that is responsible.

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 04 2011,02:01)John 8:24 is mistranslated.  Earlier manuscripts do not have the added words.  You knew that probably though didn't you.John 8:24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”You are interested in truth, right?  Choose newer translations ov…[Read more]

Hi Gene,We should discuss this in the appropriate thread.I will make a reply there based on that scripture that talks about the body, soul, and spirit in scripture which appears different to body + spirit = soul.https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….y309529

Hi david.I don't disagree with you.In fact I know that “in the midst” is also a contender.I haven't read your post yet coz it is a bit long and I have been very busy in my job.Doesn't mean I won't read it though.And I concur with Mike. I don't disregard anything because of the messenger/denomination.I think the search for truth doesn't include…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 12 2011,11:13)Quote I already gave you the money for the brain transplant. I know this is now off topic, but:Could there ever be such a thing as a brain transplant?Or would that be a body transplant?Something to think about.IF I was going to take a punt, I would say the soul is inside the control panel of the brain somewhere.…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 21 2011,03:56)Hi All,IMO, the soul is like a computer hard drive.  It is our intellect and our memories and completely who we are.Our spirit is like a USB/Power cable plugged into us.  It not only give us the electricity needed to power our “hard drive”, but can also feed us information via “God's internet”.Our body is s…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Sep. 11 2011,16:16)It's reasonable to assume that if a team of 100+ grammarians are assigned to the task of translating a bible version that there would be a wide diversity of theological views in a group that size, thereby minimising the margin for error. It's a good safeguard for bias and mitigates what can happen when a small…[Read more]

Is God Almighty One?  Two?  Or Three?What about Four?My take is that someone is bound to argue for that eventually.Perhaps God, Son Spirit, Church or something like that given that we can partake of divine nature.Any takers. Want to be the first to start a false doctrine.You could be famous.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Sep. 12 2011,03:06)WHAT?!?  When I didn't get a check after the first week, I assumed I would get paid monthly.  When the first month had come and gone, I just naturally assumed my pay would be annually.  Come on t8!  I have been counting on that money for the brain transplant I desparately need!I already gave you the money for…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 10 2011,18:05)T8Why do you believe jesus said the kingdom is “within us”?I believe the idea that the kingdom (a word that means “government, empire” etc) is within people does not line up with ACCURATE scripture.There is really only one scripture that pushes people to believe that, and it's not translated that way in most…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 11 2011,15:48)I would suggest Is 1:18 as a moderator, but he's trinitarian, so everything he says is wrong.  (I say this only to irritate the logic of Is 1:18)I wouldn't vote for him purely based on some behavior he has displayed in some topics. Read some of the early posts in one of the debates I had with him. He was very…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Sep. 11 2011,15:19)This thread has been very poorly moderated IMO. Pages 1-2 are a disgrace.
