And your all grown up now. Praise God!And God knows all you went through.I was also a victim of bullying at school. The reason is because I sided with another victim of…[Read more]

I really dont see how any of this has anything to do with salvation though. Not that anyone should even believe just to be saved but only through love for the creator. And also… for anyone who believes in hellfire which is eternal torment, a false teaching, to be saved from hell. Love of God is simply that, love, Whether one believes Angels…[Read more]

Quote (Istari @ May 26 2011,19:37)Moreover, as I have said before but, as usual, no one realises the significance, the scriptures says that the Holy Spirit came down on Jesus' head 'LIKE A DOVE' – not 'AS A DOVE'.The significant difference makes people wrongfully draw pictures of the Holy Spirit, symbolically or not, as a Dove.'Like a Dove' means…[Read more]

Were all different. We all see things different.”The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;  and when that which is perfect may come, then that which is in part shall become…[Read more]

Still waiting for an answer, JA or Mike. I know your belief Kerwin but JA and Mikes are not so clear.Unitarian, binitarian, or ditheist and do you know the difference? Unitarian: A Biblical Unitarian is one who holds to the existence of One True God and acknowledges that He created the Host and He sent Jesus Christ to mankind. Any Monotheist also…[Read more]

Irene, you are welcome, and thank you. No, I haven't started Daniel yet, but I will. Peace to you too.

To all,I understand what you're saying (about God being a title).I said I did before.That would be like the ONE WORLD LEADER who is to come.  There will be other LEADERS under him.  And even smaller LEADERS of other seperate groups. That doesn't make them the ONE WORLD LEADER though. (just an example so you know that I understand).There is u…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ May 25 2011,12:44)Hi Shimmer,This part of my post to Istari is also for you:Despite the words of Shimmer's “Pro-Istari” scholars, there is no scriptural reason to think this angel had to “convince” the human prince of Persia to do anything.  Besides, that would mean the angel detained HIMSELF trying to persuade some human to…[Read more]
