WJ, A genius can be “ignorant”. I believe what Paladin was saying is:Quote Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.Quote Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds…[Read more]

bodhithartaQuote Now as you can see here in the words of Paul that whether in pretense or in truth Christ is preached. How after this admission can you possibly say any of his statements condemn Islam when he is willing to lie to spread the GospelOne will plant seed, one will water, but God gives growth. I believe Paul rejoiced in the exposure of…[Read more]

It has pleased the Father to exalt His only begotten Son, who after humbling Himself, the Father has chosen to set Him above all powers and authority. Scripture is also clear that we are to worship God even from the mouth of Jesus Quote Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'…[Read more]

The price was paid by the sacrifice of Jesus. His death paid the price for all mankind from Adam to the last person born in this age. Not all will know the name of Jesus by which they may be saved but through their faith it is still what allows for God to accept us.My opinion Wm

This is a clear example of how by humbling ourselves, God will be exalted and He will exalt us (I certainly think more of these individuals now), furthermore it is by this attitude we show we are of God through our love for one another.Wm

Welcome surrenderedwill,It's amazing but for me it has been 30 years now and I still get revelations whenever I read with an intent to learn more of God. But what's more amazing is knowing that I haven't even scratched the surface yet.Wm

Quote (melissahyatt8 @ June 12 2009,07:17)Can someone help me with this? I love to minister to others about God and talk about Jesus and what He did for me but in front of alot of people I just met or groups of people I get so fearful of speaking in front of them. Why? My zeal for Jesus and my Heavenly Father is out of this world and I don't know…[Read more]

Thinker,Ever heard of flee from temptation? It seems scripture acknowledges that the flesh is weak and temptation should be avoided. Also at one time I encourage my youngest to visit this site, but not since these began popping up.

Kerwin,Acts 18:25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.Scripture…[Read more]

David,I must agree with Nick, as did Paul 1 Corinthians 2:3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.I believe this supports the saying;…[Read more]

Good post T8,There are many that I feel I have unity with even-though I disagree with them on some points. Typically they have taken a different interpretation on some scriptures, but it is a reasonable interpretation and after all it might be me who has chosen the wrong “reasonable” interpretation.My opinion Wm

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 31 2009,17:32)If Babylon is the USA, it is written that you must come out of her because she will be destroyed in one day and it says to come out of her so that you will not be a partaker of her sin. What should one do if they do not hold nationality of another country? Illegally leave the USA and live in another country?I say we…[Read more]

I agree with Kathi, the Son is not equal to the Father but I believe scripture is clear the Father has given Jesuis all power in this corporeal realm which when all things are complete He submits back to the Father.Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age…[Read more]

Stu,You're living proof of the truth in scripture “professing themselves to be wise they become fools”. You rant, tear, and twist at everything others hold precious but to what end? I guess it is true, misery loves company.

Quote (Not3in1 @ Mar. 12 2009,12:00)Everyone,My brother died tonight….  Please pray for his children, and for me and my sister.  Thank you.  Love,MandyMandy,May you find peace and comfort.Amen

Maranatha,Good post, it is a shame that many become too “sophisticated” to believe the “foolish” things of God. I believe it is why Jesus told us to be as a child. Welcome, hope you stick aroundWm

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 28 2009,10:38)Hi ST, You misunderstand.But Genesis 1 was not the beginning of our God who has no beginning, nor of heaven nor of the angels.Our God is time less and time only has meaning in the visible creation.I agree that the Father is timeless but I believe the Son had a beginning. I also believe that the spiritual…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 28 2009,09:53)Hi LU, Yes in the context of VISIBLE CREATION. But there was a timeless beginning before that in which the world was formless and void.Nick,What verse states that the world has existed eternally?Wm
