:lol: haha ya got me there!

the idea of the cross came about a couple of hundred years after the writing of the NT. those who first presented the cross were not eyewitnesses of the event so their word should certainly not be taken as gospel. Other then the writings of some of those later 'church fathers' there is...

Hi Selene, I think there is a big difference in calling oneself a 'son' of God and calling oneself God. In John 5:18 it was the jews who considered it blasphemy to call oneself a 'son' of God because they understood that he was saying that he was not a human but rather a godlike being such as...

I agree that there is only one God worthy of worship and according to the hebrew scriptures he is Yahweh....otherwise known as Jehovah. Jesus never claimed to be this God. At John 10:36 he replied to the jews "do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You...

Hi Selene, Yes God is called Mighty but so are the angels (Psalm 103:20). But there is only one person called the 'Almighty' in the entire bible and its with reference to the Creator of heaven and earth. Jesus is never called the 'Almighty' anywhere or by anyone...nor is he mentioned in...

Jesus does not have to be God Almighty for his death to mean something special for us. Jesus could certainly be a 'son' of God and be sinless. Just as there are myriads of holy angels who are sinless, so was Gods firstborn and Only Begotten Son sinless. But the cross is another point of...

I dont agree that this verse says that Jesus is the incarnation of God Almighty. He will be called a Mighty God, yes. But he is not called The Almighty God in this verse. The hebrew word used here is ’El Gib‧bohr′ which is not the same as the word which describes The Almighty God at Gen...

you show that you have really thought these things over and you have come to the same conclusion that many others have.....there is a contradiction about Jesus identity. Either he is God, or he is the Son of God...he cannot be both. The question is, who does the contradiction stem...

jesus teachings were simple, people understood them and he didnt need to expound on things for them to understand I'll take your reply as a definite no. On the other hand a simple answer would be that both jew and gentile were required to repent and be baptized. The Jews were given the...

If you are right, then the answer should be very simple. can you reword a simple answer in 10 words or less?

Hi Richard, What do you say about the fact that Peter, the same one who gave the speech to the Jews at Pentecost about baptism and repentance, also was the one sent by God to the home of the gentile Cornelius to teach him about Jesus and baptize him? If you say gentiles dont need to be...

how come 'free trade' is fiercely promoted, but not 'free travel' just a thought!

ok, so it seems you are saying that spirits exist and all spirits are from God...which i agree with for the angels are all spirit persons. However, humans do not exist as spirits...we were made of flesh and can not be said to have existed in any form before we were created. The only way to...

im not really sure what you are implying the spirit to be. Can you explain what you think the spirit is in less then 10 words?

If the spirit is the 'lifeforce' within living creatures, then the same spirit can in fact die becaues the living creatures that have it can die. the greek word for spirit comes from pneu′ma and has the meaning of “breath” and its because of that breath from God that the body can become a...

I wouldnt say that Jesus gave us the ability to be perfect...not yet anyway. If we could be perfect thru Jesus then we would not also need to ask for forgiveness thru Jesus. I think what Jesus gave us was the ability to stand before God without our sins preventing us...thru Jesus we have...

I was talking about those who went into egypt...what is your scriptural reason to say I am mistaken that those who went to egypt were going in disobedience? They were the remnant left over...if you read the account fully you'll see that Nebuchudnezza had put Gedeliah in charge of those...

you need to show me from scripture why i'm mistaken

The good figs went to Babylon into exile. But they did not include the kings daughters, did they. The remnant who were left over in judah were told by God to stay there and he would protect them, but they did not listen and decided to go over to Egypt and seek protection over there...these...

does that mean that every time you eat a piece of meat you are offering a sacrifice to God? Or what about at the time of the flood when God killed all living things except for Noah and his family...were all those deaths for the sake of a sacrifice to himself?? or did they serve another purpose?
