Sure StanJ, so that text isn't metaphorical (on planet bizzarro.) Keep on holding to whatever it is you're holding on to and have a nice life.

So John chapter 1 is not metaphorical at all. So Jesus is light and whenever we flip a light switch on we get to see Jesus, is that right?

No it doesn't. It only tells us when the Lord occupied the body prepared for Him.

Technically everyone is either male or female before they were born, but every appearance of the Lord in the Old testament (as a human) is given as a male.

Hello my good friend StanJ. I take it you don't believe that Moses spoke with Jesus face to face before His incarnation. Moses certainly new the name of the Messiah because he gave that name to Hoshea the son of Nun, whom we commonly know as Joshua. (Joshua is a "type" of the Lord.) These are...

Correction: Jesus was a male, is a male, will always be a male. Before He was born He was a male. He was born a male, and He was resurrected a male. Jesus, the same, yesterday, today, and forever.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. Psalm 2:12 Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has...

Seems like a bit of a trick question, but let's see. Jesus is a male. Jesus is God. So God is a male. Jesus identified His father as "Spirit" and since spirit has no physicality of its own, gender is meaningless, the Son of God remains God and is certainly male. The classical definition of the...

Because of the similarity between the Hebrew word for pebble, used to convey the throwing of which to determine one's "lot", and our receiving our "lot" in Christ, It is distinctly possible that souls like Daniel who looked to the Lord to save them, could be called up on the "last day" when the...

Thanks. I prefer the word "travail" used in the original King James, but you just don't hear the word used much anymore.

I don't possess the kind of scholarship that you regularly demonstrate, but you have described exactly what the Lord has been teaching me through my scripture readings (so I'm happy to agree with you.) What I'm still unsure of is the disposition of the "old testament saints," such as Daniel who...

I've been trying to follow the arguments here, but you guys are a little too deep for me. I take it that some folks believe that the prophecies dealing with anti-Christ and the coming judgment were all fulfilled with the first advent and destruction of Jerusalem. If that's the case, do you...

My apologies for taking so long to respond, between work and the weather, the last few weeks have been pretty busy. While boycotts work, given enough people that choose to participate, I don't think letter writing is typically very persuasive when it comes to box office sales, though a petition...

Jesus (who is God) may not have written any laws down in the gospels, but He certainly gave a new commandment commensurate with the initiation of the New Covenant: 10. "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. 11...

The Apostle Paul said, 19. Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the...

Yes, and who do you think said that he did?

All of my bibles do, so what's your point?

I've never thought of myself as any kind of activist, though I've participated in my labor union's demonstrations and rallies, but I'd like to know how other professing believers think that we should respond to the world's blasphemies. Yesterday afternoon I decided to go a local theatre to watch...

I think that you may have some peculiar ideas about Christ and the Church, but I'll give you Jesus' answer to your OP question. 18. "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19. "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the...

8. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, 9. knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers...
