    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    Sorry, she's fixed. But I have a friend in NZ who breeds them.

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    That doesn't explain the changes that Christians experience, sometimes radical changes, throughout their lives. If the God I know, love, and worship doesn't have the power, or isn't interested enough to take away sin, addictions and save lives, then He isn't worth my time. I might as well go...

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    I'm not talking about spiritual death. I'm talking about eternal death from which there is no resurrection. The wages of sin. The second death. Final destruction. God is not going to allow sinners to suffer eternally anywhere. That's a satanic evil lie that insults and blasphemer God's...

    The Two Babylons: A Case Study in Poor Methodology

    The old adage, scripture interprets scripture, can be used to identify the clay specifically. Look up the word clay in scripture, and see what you come up with as metaphor.

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    You've never met Jesus? You don't think God is involved in our lives?

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    ECT doesn't exist. So it isn't an argument

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    Hey, back up a little. Who said I was defending the trinity? I'm simply stating that God sent His Son. Which means He had a Son to send. I don't need the trinity to defend that. It's all through the NT.

    The TRUE Meaning Of The Little Horn Prophecy For the End

    It's interesting that you feel the need to erect a strawman in order to combat against the word of God. No-one, we'll, at least me, is claiming that the Roman Empire is alive and well today. However, there are some who believe it will come back through the nations of Europe. I subscribe to...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    I can't believe there's 40 pages between my last read... the following quotes, and where this post will appear... I'm not going to go through all 40 pages, so sorry if my comment below is a repeat, but anyway here goes... It's strange isn't it. I don't agree with some that our differences...

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    The laws of God aren't harsh. They are perfectly reasonable. The are holy, just, and good. The problem, is that we aren't holy just, or good. But we can be, even in this life, if we surrender to the holy Spirit and allow Him to work in us the good pleasure of the will of God. It's up to...

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    There are more than one way to die.

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    And you would be equally correct in saying... Believing the words of God=Jesus the Word that was the only begotten Son of God from the beginning.

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    Fair enough. But John didn't quote that until he was in his 80s or 90s... did he believe Jesus was pre-existent before the incarnation during the time Jesus was walking with them? I'm not so sure. Peter certainly wasn't converted until after Jesus spoke with him after the resurrection.

    Should Christians get tattoos?

    I don't agree that tattoos are not mentioned in the NT. “1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same...

    Should Christians get tattoos?

    You said the above in response to... Isaiah 49:16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me. I would like to suggest that the Lord stating He has inscribed our names on the palms of His hand is perhaps an allusion to the nail printed scars from...

    The Two Babylons: A Case Study in Poor Methodology

    I read that link, and agree with a little of what he said, eg. the 3 horns that were uprooted as depicted in Daniel 7, the Heruli, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths. Beyond that, I have a very different view which I can explain more fully if we look at Daniel 7. But first, let's finish Daniel 2.

    It is true, because Jesus said it is...

    Again, I can't disagree with what you are saying.... except i believe the analogy falls short as i believe there is more to resurrected life than simple "proof of the efficacy of the drug".... but certainly, without the shedding of blood there is no remission. The cross cannot be bypassed. Let...

    It is true, because Jesus said it is...

    What all you guys are saying is true. But I'm trying to encourage you to look deeper. Let me take you back to what Paul said, and as I quoted earlier... Paul is being unequivocal here. If Jesus did not come forth from the grave, everyone would "be yet in their sins". Therefore, despite what...

    The Two Babylons: A Case Study in Poor Methodology

    Let's start at the beginning, Daniel 2. It is recognized by most able Bible scholars that Daniel 2 forms a skeleton or foundation for the prophecies that come after... Daniel 7,8,11. All those visions/ dreams are expansions of the previous prophecies, adding more detail and identifiers, but all...
