Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 21 2005,03:43)Hi, I think this matter deserves a forum of it's own. We are told in Gen 6 that ” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown” The sons of God…[Read more]

Nick…you said above: “But scripture also says in 1 Jn.4.9″By this we know the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through him”I understand your take on this, and many believe that Yashuah existed before birth to Mary. I have a question, though…since “begotten” means…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 05 2006,18:47)Hi Is 1.18, Is God greater than you in any and all senses?Is God greater than the Son of God Jesus Christ. Jesus said he was.That excludes them sharing the same being, God as surely God could not have unequal parts?So where is the equality?The”equality” exists only in the imaginations of the “trinitarians.”

Unless I am mistaken the only thing Jesus told us to celebrate was communion.1.  “Christmas” is not even his birthday, anyway…and there was no command to celebrate his BIRTH. Not to mention the “Christmas tree” is purely a pagan symbol and a “no-no!”http://www.gotquestions.org/Christmas-tree.html2.  What makes you think “Sunday” was the day of t…[Read more]

Quoting from David's post on the first page:The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 19 2006,03:07)Hi tbfu, Please can you make up a list of the figures of speech that are found in the bible. If there are things that appear to be true but are not because they are just an idiom of the language then we need to be able to recognise these things clearly. Otherwise there is ahe danger that we might believe…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 18 2006,03:21)Hi tb4u, Yes because the Son of Man was resurrected and became the “firstborn from the dead” we too can follow him into his death and become his brothers and sons of God too.Right! Nick…there is an argument for Jesus NOT being “God” that I think pretty well covers it…not sure if you have ever heard it,…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 18 2006,03:19)Hi tb4u, If so, and he only existed from the moment of his human conception then why does scripture record the Son was sent into the world?1Jn 4.9″…God sent His only begotten Son into the world..”I would say (my opinion) is that is simply a figure of speech.

God's Son….in the sense that he was conceived through the action of the holy spirit (God's active force).If he were NOT “God's Son,” then his death/resurrection would mean nothing.
