bd,Sorry I was writing the post yesterday and had to leave so it got posted before I was ready. Today I was trying to complete it and noticed after an edit that you had already responded. So to set it straight.I corrected this question as I didn't understand it correctly at the time – you had asked: “Now we know that God caused all to exist so are…[Read more]

Kathi,Sorry I've been very busy. You asked: Quote So, are you calling the manifestation “the offspring of God” and was that proceeding from the Father an act that happened at the time of creation? Yes, as the laws that govern our reality came into play, God was manifested, not as a creation but as a result of the impending creation.Quote Would…[Read more]

Stu,Quote If you think the earth is younger than 10,000 years then there is no question you are a moron.  Of course if you could give unambiguous evidence that contradicts the current massive pile of evidence that the earth is 4.55 billion years old, then you would not be a moron, but a genuine scientific theory.Depending on your interpretation…[Read more]

Stu,I only commented on your treatment of Devolution and thought I would check into it what he posted at some later date. But as you've asked me what valid point you think could be addressed, these caught my eye: It is perplexing that after a century of argument and observation of the continents, no generally accepted mechanism for planation has…[Read more]

Stu,One last point, you stated: 2. You do have a point about this instance of copy-and-paste including a name, but there is little difference really, because the moron who copied and pasted it has added nothing of his own.  Are we supposed to engage with him, or go to the website from which the material was stolen and discuss it there instead?If…[Read more]

religion – a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universeRegardless whether he presented the points as you saw fit or not, points were made, and you avoided “showing us” why the points were invalid but instead flung accusations as to his character and intelligence.

Good point Kathi, I was so focused on it being the same time and not being sure what time “ninth hour” was, but thought I knew what twilight meant. Come to find out I didn't know that the Hebrew word used for “twilight” means “between evenings”. On the day in question there were 2 evenings (Mark 15:33 When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over…[Read more]

This one was a further revelation of that one (taking the premise to the next level).

Kathi,I believe that the offspring of God at the beginning of the ages proceeded from the Father, basically putting everything of the nature of the Father that could be put, into a “box”, mixing in a mind which allows independent thought providing a conscious interface to our reality and an unconscious interface to the spiritual side. I believe…[Read more]

David, any comments?

Kathi,I believe that when the Father was manifested at the creation of our reality it was with a body not unlike the one we will receive after we are changed. So when He said “Let US make man in OUR image” He was saying to that “separate” mind of His manifestation the decision, just like when we're mulling thoughts and reasoning about an approach,…[Read more]

Kathi,Quite possible, His manifestation had the addition of a human mind with its sensations, desires, memories, thoughts, and reasoning (providing an interface to our tangible existence). This bought a new aspect for the Father, just as our soul must deal with our flesh (though there wouldn't be a sin nature to deal with). Besides I'm sure I'm…[Read more]
