To all,When I first was drawn to Scripture, I read not desiring to figure out who Jesus was before becoming a Man etc, all I was interested in was What Jesus taught, What we were to do, How we were to obey, all His saying's and How to apply it to these day's. What was to happen in the last day's, How to be obedient to God.  Love. Compassion. All…[Read more]

Quote (barley @ Aug. 21 2010,12:39)Shimmer,Truth is simple.The challenge is to get to the truth.That quest for the simple truth may be quite difficult..   Especially so, when the simple truths have been clouded, obscured and even suppressed by tradition.barleyWell spoken Barley, thank you.

Hi Kerwin,It wasn't me who said that, it was Barley, I thought the word was God's spoken word, which was seen throughout the Old Testament in various ways then God's words were made flesh in Jesus, which is how I understand John 1.1 “The word was with God and the word was God', 'The word became flesh' word meaning exactly that, 'God's word/s'…[Read more]

That's true, thank you t8,

Quote (barley @ Aug. 21 2010,12:39)Shimmer,Looking up the word logos in a concordance is most enlightening.Of over 200 uses, the vast majority of the uses fit the standard definition, “the thought behind the words used.”  Rhema,  a different word, refers to the words used.  Only in  John 1 does some people try to make it mean a person.  Ce…[Read more]

JustAskin,I was confused at all the different opinions, I had never before thought about all of these things, I knew Jesus was the son of God, who came down from Heaven, and that was all I needed to know, and that the words which he spoke were for us to learn by. But everyone is talking about all these other things, that's why I said to Ed not to…[Read more]

Yeah, I think so JustAskin, and I love the way you used that verse.

Quote (Ed J @ Aug. 21 2010,14:33)Quote (shimmer @ Aug. 21 2010,12:24)Hi Ed,Pre-existance,…So yes, it seems to say the word pre-existed but was a part of God and was God. As John 1:1 says.Hi Shimmer,I don't read imported 'opinions', so if 'your' importing them for me, don't bother!You have inadvertently dodged this question…   “Do you believe…[Read more]

Hi Ed,Pre-existance,I believe the word was a part of God , it was God's spoken word, manifested in many different ways and in these last days in Jesus, as Scripture states and as Theophilus explains it..Theophilus to Autolycus Book IIYou will say, then, to me: “You said that God ought not to be contained in a place, and how do you now say that He…[Read more]

Hi Kathi,OK. Thanks for explaining how you see things. I have been through a sort of similar stage myself but I now understand it as Marty is saying.And all without needing to change that one important verse, ….In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.But thanks, and thanks Marty,God bless.

Marty, Terrarica, JustAskin, KangarooJack, WorshippingJesus, EdJ, and any others I missed, all agree with scripture though in different ways that there is only one God.Where does it say there are 2 Gods, both equal ? It says the complete opposite.

To all, “There is no one like Yahweh our God.” Exodus 8:10 “Yahweh, He is God; there is no other besides Him.” Deuteronomy 4:35 “Yahweh, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.” Deuteronomy 4:39 “See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me” Deuteronomy 32:39 “Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is…[Read more]

Thank you Marty and Ed.

Marty, and Terrarica,I agree.

Hi Aloha Shaka,I read a book once, it was about these things, project Bluebird I think it was, and other such things, How they will control peoples minds by first dumbing us down, to use television and other things to achieve this, to make us become like Animals, to desensitise us, to control the world's population, to use those who have'nt been…[Read more]
