Hi Randy. I thought I'd write to let you know that I am in large agreement with your arguments, except possibly for the nature of Christ's millennial reign. The phrase "beheaded for Christ" used in Revelation is the translator's best stab at translating what is more literally rendered "those...

Wrangler. Nope, you're wrong. When God speaks to himself in Genesis WRYM (I don't know how your book translates it) it is always referred to in the plural, e.g., let us create man in our image. Again, a complete reading of the hebrew doesn't force mysticism or anything like it into a notion...

Pretty wordy stuff Brakelite.

Scott, you're tagging the bastard again. Try talking to me when you come down from whatever your on.

Look, I don't object to God the father as being pure in spirit as the scripture teaches. You are committing a rhetorical cheat when you claim that that implies That a pure and Godlike nature requires being pure spirit. It doesn't. That is called arguing the contrapositive and it is an...

Let's back up few steps and examine our method of interpretation. When a Bible interpreter is trying to understand the meaning of a text that can be over 4000 years old he or she delights if someone finds another text that may not be canonical at all but is from the same period because it can...

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me . . . a stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers." (Jn. 10:5, 27) The phraseology is slightly different but the meaning is identical, Christ's sheep are not subject...

No, no, no. The text says "my sheep know my voice AND WILL NEVER FOLLOW ANOTHER" There is no room for those who are truly of Christ to be subject to this kind of mass delusion. There are those in the Church who may buy a false doctrine, but the scripture is clear of those who are teaching it...

Well Wrangler I am writing to point out that the Hebrew word used to establish the oneness of God allows for a multiplicity of persons within the unity it asserts. Again, it is the same word used to describe the unity that emerges from a marriage of two distinct individuals.

OK, let me try to construct an argument this way. Jesus said "my sheep know my voice and they will never follow another". Now, unless the entire church up until you have been following another I have to be extremely dubious of any claim you make of new revelation. In all frankness your claims...

Look, look, look, look. Consider the context in which Revelation was written. It was a time of Roman (the pagan empire) persecution of the Church. Rome, NOT Jerusalem, was the queen of the world known to the early Christians and had a proven track record of cruelty and invincibility to every...

Let's look at the Hebrew word God uses to describe his oneness in the Old testament. When God says "Hear Oh Isreal the Lord thy God is One" that word can also be translated as unity, the same word that the bible uses to describe the nature of the marital union, where the two become one, a...

A sneaky approach to insulating yourself from cyber attack is to buy a 32 bit system. 32 bits is perfectly adequate for all your communication needs and to my knowledge all current cyber attack vectors are targeted against 64 bit platforms.

Whoa, whoa, whoa Scott, consider what you are saying! I quote the plain and universally understood by the church (except by you) meaning of a text and you claim I am viewing through the understanding of the flesh? Man, that's gnostacism plain and forthrightly. You are claiming special...

OK, step one. The reference to flesh giving birth to flesh and spirit giving birth to spirit when read in context is a clear reference to a natural birth (the first) and a quickening by the spirit at our second birth at the point of our conversion, NOT any sort of spiritual birth at our...

OK. Let's try to get back to the initial thrust of the thread, which was the assertion that Christ did not retain his fleshly body at his ascension, an assertion that I deny. The original poster relies heavily on the I Corinthians discourse about the resurrection body to infer that Christ must...

Hey family. Take a look at this for an alternate take on the apocalypse. 登录 Facebook
