Georg,Yes he did, just as Lazarus continued on for a time after his death.9Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,My opinion – Wm

I'm not a true trinitarian, but I do believe that Jesus pre-existed. The best “fruit” I can lay claim to is a literal interpretation of scriptures, these including the ones instructing us to give preference, to love our enemies, to forgive, and to give of ourselves and our possessions. I endeavor to seek truth and to embrace it even when it goes…[Read more]

Quote “ Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,      And You heard my voice.       3 For You cast me into the deep,      Into the heart of the seas,      And the floods surrounded me;      All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.       4 Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;      Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.…[Read more]

bodhitharta,What part is untrue? Do you deny that if you apply a different meaning to parts of a book (the Bible) by superseding it from a different book (quran), that this is tampering. Do you deny that you believe that Jesus did not die, despite it being the major theme in the NT. Do you deny quoting scriptures, applying translations to it that…[Read more]

Gene,There is no balance between good and evil as evil will be vanquished someday. Although I agree with the fact that the sin that exists, is used to teach us the long term effects of evil and why it must be vanquished.My opinion ~ wm

Quote  God created the wicked as part of his toolkit to finish the creation of mankind. Except for this idea I would agree with your post above. I do not believe God plays any part as an author of evil, however I do believe He will allow evil to prosper for a time, even against the prayers of the righteous, for a greater good.My opinion – Wm

bodhitharta,The only one “tampering” with the written word of God is you. You twist what is said and call His very word into doubt (sounds familiar). You “use” Bible verses taken out of context to “prove your point” while rejecting the other 95% that prove you wrong, all along pushing your brand of islam. My opinion – Wm

I posted this before but it explains why I believe we have a choice in what we do:Quote Predestination – What I've concluded best aligns with scripture is: When God gave to man, the dominion of the earth, He did just that. And in doing so He limited Himself in what He is able to do on earth to accomplish His will without overridding man's…[Read more]

Keith,”Lord just be with my brother and uphold him. Accomplish your will and purpose in his life, uphold & encorage him. I thank you for his love and patience.”We may not always agree, but I hope the best for you. If there is anything I can do let me know.Wm

chaskrais,Welcome to Heaven net.

T8,Ever seen Tron? it is an attempt by the creationist to imply that cyberspace has a design and a designer, how ridiculous can you get. We all know everything came from nothing, just random bits of code converging over billions of years.

On Google todayWashington, Oct 12(ANI): An American professor has branded global warming as “the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud” he has ever seen. Professor Harold Lewis claimed that man-made climate change has become a “scam” driven by “trillions of dollars” which has “corrupted” scientists. Lewis made the remarks after…[Read more]

kerwin,I'm quite familiar with that scripture (see below) but I hardly believe posting my definition (in one post) constitutes quarrellings over words.Wm

I also find certain people here extremely frustrating, but by confronting what we believe is false teachings, we provide for the others monitoring here, our reasons by which we support what we believe to be truth, or as we dig into it looking for the support we discover we are the ones in error. What I've noticed, not just here but everywhere, is…[Read more]

Jesus was in the heart of the earth for three days and 3 nights. We should ignore traditions and believe the whole of scriptures, while considering translation errors as well as culture misunderstandings. Jesus died near sundown on Wednesday, spent 72 hours dead during 2 annual sabbath days (Thur & Fri) and 1 weekly sabbath day (Sat), then was…[Read more]

They were not yet immortalAnd the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”I believe that God put two trees in the garden, the tree of life would have completed creation of an immortal body (like at the…[Read more]
