Quote (TimothyVI @ Feb. 18 2007,07:16)Hi Seekingthruth,Thank you for responding to my question. Most people seem to fear that they are putting themselves in harms way to even respond to questions that seem to question God.So they stay far away.Truth is truth whether you like it or not.Quote In my mind, any time that someone kills someone else that…[Read more]

Timothy,I believe the problem arises from equating killing with murder. What is murder for an individual, is the God ordained justice system for society. However God has given us the example of mercy which shouldn't be forgotten.Wm

A sportster and while my Harley does have more vibration then your Yamaha, it's the sit and feel that I like. Of course the forward controls make quite a bit of the difference between feeling like your seated, compared to feeling like your squatting.Shadow, sorry I tried to get it in the mailbox but wouldn't fit.

I believe that is 2:00 PM Friday afternoon for you Ken, 3:00 PM for me. Wm

Ken,They seem to have fixed the leaks (haven't seen one yet). Mine's a 1998 and had 6000 miles when I got it, I added 2800 more in just a couple of months. Only broke a throttle cable, the part cost wasn't that bad, swapped it out myself in less then an hour. The ride is what I love most (though the soft rumble is a close second). How many stamps…[Read more]

Ken,It actually got up near freezing today but I think I'll wait a while longer to take a ride (all that ice and snow is now slop). I've been riding motorcycles since I was 15. They're a great way to spend time alone with God admiring His handywork. What kinda bike do you have? I've had Benelli, Bultaco, Kawasakis, Yamahas, Hondas, but I bought a…[Read more]

Ken, Set a timeWm

Staying warm David? Disney looking better all the time.We've been a balmy -7F here and getting snow everyday. For a while the weather stayed warm I even went for a motorcycle ride just before the new year. The nice part about winter though is how much more you appreciate spring when it finally does come.Wm

Hi Tim,Welcome, Quote 2Cr 5:6  Therefore always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: I agree, I was wrong (I should never quote scripture from memory).Quote Punctuation was not used in the original texts so just imagine that we moved the comma one word to the right and read Luk 23:43…[Read more]

Ken,I believe when it says that “the dead know nothing” it is referring to the dead no longer have any consciousness of this world, they know nothing of the happenings of the corporeal world. There are too many other scripture indicating consciousness after death; today you will be in paradise, to be absent from the body is to be present with the…[Read more]

Ken,Sorry it's taken soo long to get back with you on this.I agree that saints will be on earth during the tribulation, but as we discussed in your thread on saints, Aaron was identified as a saint and I believe God has had his saints throughout the ages including the tribulation period. The trumpets from 1Co 15:52  could be the ones from Rev.…[Read more]

Ken,Good topic (I like it at least). Other then the signs, personally I believe all of chapter 12 is yet to be. I cannot be dogmatic, although to me it seems to fit with the rest of scripture. Revelation 12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.…[Read more]

Ken,Good post

I have found that scripture gives me boundaries and the means to know it was the Holy Spirit which has lead me to a truth. In other words, it is not from knowing the words of scripture, some can quote it far better then I, but it is only head knowledge, the Holy Spirit leads us to the truth of those words, which in turn feeds our faith, which in…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Jan. 14 2007,03:03)Quote I can only say Heaven help the world if david proceeds to get this all right Charity, when you use the word “heaven” and ask “it” to “help” the world, I take it you are using personification.I took it as a colloquialism referring to your changing the world if you would but embrace the truth just like…[Read more]

Quote (kenrch @ Jan. 13 2007,09:22)Just because a writing is found to be written in the first, second or any century for that matter means nothing.Could not the early church fathers been deceived.I tend to agree with Ken, It depends more on the person who wrote it, then when it was written. After all scriptures tell of a man who taught “the way”…[Read more]

Quote All I am saying is I believe Jesus is more than just the Image of God.Blessings I was quoting scripture2 Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”I too believe He is however more then an…[Read more]

Oxy,I agree that God is about to do some marvelous things. It also seems that God has chose those who are simple, to teach the wise. Not from any wisdom they posess but from what He is showing them. God has not chosen them for having perfect doctrine, but for their heart. Due to the abundance of false doctrine ingrained in our lives in these last…[Read more]

Quote (charity @ Jan. 06 2007,02:40)Quote (seekingtruth @ Jan. 06 2007,06:40)While driving home I believe the Holy Spirit gave me a scripture to share. I know we all have read it before and many will say that it does not apply or I'm “adding to scripture”, but I believe it is the principle behind the example given in this scripture.Romans…[Read more]

Doesnt it say somewhere in scripture that God will suffer the loss of nothing. I believe we spend eternity in a corporeal existence (we will live on earth). I believe that God will not only have animals but will bring back those lost due to extinction. (not Resurrection but recreated during the whole new heaven and new earth happening, we know…[Read more]
