Ron, I agree for the most part, this is from my journal on a study I did on the word Aion (eternal):Many teach that nearly all the people who have ever lived will suffer in eternal torment in hell. This has been based on a translation of the word aion which has translated as eternal, everlasting, forever this is offered as the proof within the…[Read more]

I have read many of the lost books and some appear to be off the wall but some seem quite sound. For what its worth I use these writings to gain more understanding of scripture, but never to override them.My opinion – Wm

Beloved,I have never seen an angel or a demon, but about 27 years ago I was on the road in a hotel in Huntsville Alabama when I woke up not able to breath and I felt like my windpipe was being crushed. In my mind I knew I had to call on the name of the Lord, but I could not remember the name (I know it is hard to believe), After struggling for…[Read more]

Happy Thanksgiving to all who will accept it, praise God for His provision.Wm

Quote (terraricca @ Nov. 20 2009,11:11)hi check this outnealadams.com (science project)I've read/watched most of the sites. This concept aligns with scripture and as far as those opposed to it they offer more opinions then proof, and over the years I've seen scientific dogma change time and again.My opinion – Wm

I do not believe unknowingly repeating a mistaken idea makes you a liar. As with all the “cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars” most of us have been guilty of a few of these at one point or the other in our lives (as defined by Jesus). I believe that if…[Read more]

When believers (consisting of all those born again), gather or assemble together we call it “church”. The word “church” as it is used in the NT is translated from a Greek word ekklasia meaning “those who assemble.” As God seems to define it, all believers within a definable region make a “church”, “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the…[Read more]

“Contradictions” are “there” because the one claiming it so, wants it to be there, but what amazes me is when its claimed within a single letter, you believe that the writer wouldn't have done a better job of “keeping his story straight” after writing such a brilliant “deception”? Makes you wonder will some ever cease perverting the straight ways…[Read more]

Quote But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. I agree, you could know the scripture word for word but truth is only truly understood through a revelation as provided by the Holy Spirit.My opinion – Wm

Love does no wrong, even with my limited knowledge I can see that if everyone made all their decisions based on love it would be heaven on earth. How much more would God with His knowledge, have already determined that sustained existence is only possible if love is in control.My opinion – Wm

I believe it was the act of creation that manifested the Son. It can be likened to water and if all of a sudden you introduced an area of permanent sub zero temperature. The resulting ice is from the water, although it never existed before (in that form). It is my opinion that when the Father created our corporeal universe the part where He…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Nov. 16 2009,00:38)hi skthose are the fruits of the Spirit detailed in Gal;5 by Paul ,it also said in the scriptures that everithing will come to past away but LOVE will remain,why?terraricca,4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not…[Read more]

I believe the best description is selflessness. The higher value you place on another the more love you show. This is exemplified by the Father when He gave His Son so that we might be saved and with Jesus actually giving His life (no greater love).So to answer your question, deeds reveal love, but love to me is also an attitude best summed up as…[Read more]

Thank you Marty,Said far better then I could have.Wm

Quote  Why does Jesus say:And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.Luke 24:46-48Notice what he is telling them to preach, did Jesus say go and preach that I died for world and was resurrected?I agree that repentance is quite often left out of the message but the remission…[Read more]

Which one lied? Jesus said “it now is”, yet years later Paul said “About to be” who is right?Your statement “Consequently, Jesus' use of “NOW IS” and Paul's use of “ABOUT TO BE” show conclusively that the resurrection was in the immediate future of the first generation of Christians.”. Quite the opposite from proving your claim, it proves there…[Read more]
