I'm surprised there is not a general groundswell of protest by all woman against drag queens who's behavior makes a mockery out of actual womanhood. At least the black community has the pride and gumption to condemn black face performances. What's wrong with the women of this culture? Why do so...

I'm surprised there is not a huge uprising by all women against drag queens who make a mockery of real womanhood. Maybe because the media has not told them to do so? In any case, I don't see much difference between drag queens and black face.

Since none of this is on the topic of this post, I started a new one. Jesus is said to have a God. Philosophy or scriptural?

MatthewG kindly reminded me that this thread is not about Jesus being God or not. Better stop in this thread or if you want we can go somewhere else.

I think there will be two time periods, a millennial kingdom and an everlasting kingdom. Revelation 19 & 20 talks about the first kingdom that will begin after the battle of Armageddon. It will last 1,000 years, hence the name millennial. The devil is bound up during this 1,000 year kingdom but...

I think what it all comes down to is that though we are in the world, we are not part of it. We also know that the sufferings of this world are not worthy to be compared to the glory that's coming. Hopefully later today! But if not today, it'll be one of these days for sure. :)

Amen about being puffed up. I think 1 Cor 13 is the key. We have to love each other and that fulfills ALL the law.

I've been wrong about a few things myself! No doubt I still am. We'll all figure it out when Jesus comes back.

The story is only half over. There's more to come, namely Jesus' second advent, not as a lamb led to slaughter, but as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Until then we still all have problems. Clearly we are not in the new earth promised in Revelation 21. Among other things, we witness death on a...

This is Matthew's thread and we have hijacked it. Better stop or the thread may get closed. I hope not! Maybe see you somewhere more appropriate. Thanks for the discussion. :)

Sorry about that! I guess we got carried away.

Why did you quote Numbers to make your case? It clearly says God is not a human. Jesus was human through and through. He came from the seed of David. David was a human. Genesis 1 talks about seed. It says that seed produces an offspring that is just like it's parent. If David was human, he sure...

Well, nobody understands it because it can't be understood. But, yes, I do deny it. Based on scriptural evidence alone, apart from any councils, I don't think I'm mistaken. I think the scriptures are clear that Jesus really is the son of God. As I said, I just accept that and add noting to it...

You don't understand what the words, "we all" mean? I think you do. If "we all" didn't agree on the meaning of words communication would be impossible. I perfectly understand what you said to me. All the words you used have commonly accepted meaning with which I am totally familiar. I am...

Everything we write to others has to be logical if we want them to understand what we write. Paul "reasoned" to this audiences from the scriptures (Acts 17:2, 18:4, 18:9, and 24:25) The word "reasoned" is the Greek word "dialegomai" which is composed of two words, "dia" (through) and "lego."...

Lot of good points there. It reminds me of a story in Acts: Acts 17:10-12, 10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the...

Well, that still leaves the question of who the God and Father of God is. Many verses clearly say Jesus had both. What do we do with them? As far as John is concerned, his goal was to show that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah), the son of God (John 20:31). Nothing about him wanting to show Jesus...

There is no shortage of different translations of Titus 2:13. Grammatically it can be taken in more than one way, many that don't make Jesus God. Here's why I favor the latter: You've probably seen in the introduction of many of Paul's letters mention of the God of Jesus. If Titus actually said...

Things changed after Jesus died, arose, and ascended. Jesus' ministry was to Israel only. When a Canaanite woman asked for healing Jesus told her he was there only for Israel. Of course she was persistant in her request and he later relented and healed her (Matt 15:22-28). When Jesus sent out...

That all sounds good. Jesus is absolutely the only begotten son of God as the scripture clearly say around 40 times. I'd add that we also are/will be one with God and Jesus. John 17:21, That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us...
