It is the identity of the evil spirits that we have a…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Aug. 29 2008,11:21)Nick,Keith puts forth such excellent, thought-out posts for knowing (as you say) “almost nothing about the nature of God.”That doesn't sound quite fair to me, or kind, but I suppose you will debate as you wish.Love,MandyHi MandyI think that for our finite minds to even begin to comprehend an infinite God is…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Aug. 27 2008,10:35)Hi WJ, What is divine nature? Please detail what you know of itNHThere is only “One” divine being.Yeshua is not a partaker of the divine nature of God.He is in nature all that God is.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Aug. 27 2008,09:13)Hi WJ,You say”The Word that was with God and was God is 100% God.” Is this sort of pathetic human measure suitable as a box for God or His son?NHWhats pathetic is you do not believe Johns words.Was the Word that was with God and was God, less than God in nature?If so why did John use the word “theos”?WJ
