None of you know anything about Jesus from the time He was born until about twelve and then to the time He was about thirty when He went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. Other that the fact that He astounded the priests and scholars in the Temple in Jerusalem with His knowledge and understanding of the holy scriptures when…[Read more]

Nick and EdJ:
I looked at my KJV John 12: 41 and here it is “41These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.” Guess what? No, mention of the word Jesus. What translation are you reading???
Also, the blood mentioned was from Jesus on the Cross while He was half human half divine.
Sure there are some words the KJV translator…[Read more]

More errors have been committed by individuals trying to establish doctrines by using the NIV than can be imagined. The NIV is easy reading but systematically uses phrase and words to distort the truth.
I simply would never accept any writing that uses the NIV as its source to justify concepts, ideas, and truths the Word of God contains.

Jesus who is called the Son of God has other names and He shares all these names with God the Father as we read in Isaiah 9: 6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

All these…[Read more]

John chapter 1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of…[Read more]

I know this topic is a couple of years old, but thought I would ask.
While reading postings on this topic I saw that you like the version AKJV of the Bible. What does the ‘A’ stand for? I generally use the NKJV which is the New King James Version for its readability and being very close to the KJV. I also check other versions when I am…[Read more]

I fully support your rules and am glad they are there for the sake of those of us who get tired of someone coming out with the same old garbage.

Nick,
Do you realize what you are doing. You disagree with me, fine. However, in attempting to refute what I wrote, look at what you wrote.
In one of your replies, you accuse me of inferring that Jesus is a liar.
In another, you infer that I am using or encouraging the use of opinion as a foundation for making decisions.
In the last reply, you…[Read more]

Ed J,
Thank you for your comment. Your consideration and kind word about what I wrote means a lot.

To the rest of you fellows: I apologize for being so judgmental in my last post.

There are some subjects that I just do not want to go off in what I think of as a tangent. A tangent is a line that touches a circle at exactly one point while…[Read more]

Fellows: There is no need to waste your time trying to convince me of something you think you know and understand. I have stated my case simply by calling your attention to 3 scriptures that I believe are clear and understandable. Enough said and written.
Nick, I am the son of my father as well as my mother. If I stated that I am the son of my…[Read more]

I agree with Mikeboll64. He wrote a lot of things to refute what others wrote about Jesus not being God and not pre-existing before He was born. Baloney, Jesus was God in the beginning, was with the Father, both being God. Jesus was God during His earthly life, and continued being God after His resurrection.
Amen, Mike.

I am somewhat confused by everything that I have read posted on this subject. So many opinions, few substantiate what is being talked about, but that is my ‘opinion’.
Can’t remember exactly where and who that were writing about “Jesus is not God.” So, was Thomas blaspheming when he said the following in verse 28 of John 20:
27Then He said to…[Read more]

You are making the same mistake everyone else on this net is making. While Jude mentions Enoch, he does not mention any ‘Book of Enoch’. There was a considerable amount of information from Adam to the writers of the New Testament that was carried forward orally and was not written down (at least no copies of it remain AND the Book of Enoch…[Read more]

Gene:
Just wanted to make another point concerning the Saints and Job comparison. First, while God allowed Satan to try Job with very serious problems, God did not allow Satan to take his life. Job endured all of Satan’s trials and kept his faith in God. What Job repented of was ‘self-righteousness’ not yielding to Satan nor forsaking God. Job…[Read more]

I just finished reading (a considerable amount of it at least) the book of Enoch.
It kind of reminded me of the book of Mormon. Somebody trying to sound like other Biblical books presenting what they think and wholly made up of their own imagination.
The part about fallen angels mating with women is vulgar and ludicrous. This alone tells me to…[Read more]

Great subject and points for us to consider.
While we feel a desire to share what we learn in God’s Word, we need to be careful in sharing it with others who are not only not ready to hear it but will turn and attack us personally.
The Apostle Paul and others wrote in the New Testament of individuals within church congregations that had…[Read more]

Gene:
You make a strong case for your perspective.
I absolutely agree that no one now or in the future can make it on their own strengths in every respect without incredible power that God’s Spirit can give them. Those that make it into God’s Kingdom will have done so only because of God’s help. While I believe that the Saints will be tried by…[Read more]
