He did call himself the 'son' of God...perhaps that is why she cant understand how he can be God and God's Son at the same time. It doesnt make sense to me either. He cant be both.

the fact is that he could know everything if he wanted to, but he chooses not to. We know this because God gives all of us a choice and he doesnt look into our futures to know beforehand what choice we will make. This is evidenced by the fact that he created Adam he did not forewarn him that...

I dont believe hell is the place that its made out to be and yet I still worship God. I also don't believe i'll be going to heaven and yet I still worship God. For me it comes down to who has the right to rule. This is Gods earth and we are his creation and therefore it is his right to...

This is a prophecy about the 'seed' of God and the 'seed' of Satan and how the seed of God (christ) will eventually crush the head of Satan the devil. God is speaking to the serpent in this verse. Gen 3:14-15 "God proceeded to say to the serpent: “Because you have done this thing, you are...

I know this because for the past 6.000 odd years the pages of mankinds history is littered with the proof that mans governments fail over and over and over again. I know this because God tells us at Psalm 146: 3-4 "Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no...

Before the 1611 KJV was produced, there were numerous English translations of the Bible in use such as the translations by Wycliffe, Tyndale and Coverdale. There was the Matthew’s Bible of 1537, the Great Bible of 1539, the Geneva Bible of 1560 and the Bishops’ Bible of 1568. Out of these it...

Im sorry if i've offended you, that was not my intention. I said that it needed to be read in context because you only seemed to focus on the statement 'you were once not a people', however in line with the context, Peter was explaining that the gentiles had now been gathered as a people...

I agree that the religious leaders of Jesus day certainly did have their own form of truth....it was based on 'oral traditions' rather then on the written word of God. Jesus was able to contradict their oral traditions in many of his teachings and showed the people how the religious leaders...

The next prophecy to be fulfilled will be the destruction of 'Babylon the Great' Revelation 17:16 “The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.” This...

yes I am hanging my truth on what the scripture says.... as we all should do. I'm pretty confident that I could look at another chapter and find more and more issues to raise but I dont want to do that. You might become offended and that is not my intention. If you are happy with what you...

the mismanagement of mans rulership is always going to be with us....we all suffer from the same problems and we will never be able to solve them on our own we simply have to acknowledge that hard fact. We are never going to rid the world of unemployment, drought, floods, homelessness...

lets be realistic here the pastor did take a scripture completely out of context and based an entire doctrine on it....what does that tell you?

You need to read the passage of scripture in context. The apostles explained how the inclusion of the gentiles to the kingdom of heaven were included in the Prophets writings. The reason why they were originally 'not a people' was because they had not yet been gathered and this is what Peter...

well it seems that definition is accurately saying that the word of God should be expounded correctly which is exactly what Paul is telling timothy to do. However, the point i was making about the Pastors use of this verse is that he is basing one of 'his' doctrines on the use of the word...

Jesus was given the opportunity to become the king of the world....Satan presented him with that temptation but he rejected the offer, Why? Because he knew that the only real solution to creating a world where all are equal, all are safe, all are healthy and happy rests in Gods hands...

Hi Paul, I have a greek interlinear which translates the phrase 'ορθοτομουντα' as 'Keeping on a straight course' And when the context of the passage is taken into considering, it is clearly seen to be referring to truthful teachings. Paul says to Timothy in vs 16-18 to reject the false...

God never turned his back on mankind. It was in the garden of Eden when the first prophecy was uttered which foretold the coming of a 'seed' who would crush the 'serpent' who caused Adam and Eve to sin. God had always intended on saving ALL mankind from the consequences of Adamic sin and...

I found the book online and had a brief look at just one chapter which caught my attention. "Rightly dividing the word" I found this interesting because i've heard the expression a few times on this forum about 'dividing' the word. I looked up the verse 2 Timothy 2:15 from where the...

I think this is where a lot of our conversations become confused. I dont think all christians are of the elect....nor are all jews of the elect. John said that the number of elect would amount to only 144,000. Im pretty sure that in Jesus day there were more then 144,000 Jews in Jerusalem...

I completely understand that, however my view is that christians should not meddle in politics anyway. Religion should be separate to state. Especially so for Christians who have accepted Christ as their King. Jesus did not get involved in politics, he did not try to be an earthly king and...
