I agree. Two separate beings. Like I'm a separate being/person from my father. But the essence of Jesus' Father is that He is God. That's His nature. The Son naturally takes on the same nature, just as the human son takes on the nature of his human father. I'm not suggesting the Son is the same...

Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth? In the New Testament, that is after the crucifixion, Jesus informed two of His disciples where they were to resort to to discover who He was. Even though He was there in person and could 'teach' them the truth about Himself, that is not what He...

Found myself 'liking' one of my own posts lol. And 'liking' someone else's who 'liked' mine. Am I becoming narcissistic?

Paradox of Christian Privilege

While I agree with you that they're are only inferences and assumptions with regards the Trinity as taught in the creeds, there is no inference nor any assumption regards the divinity of Christ, the only begotten Son of God. As a Son, begotten, born of the Father, being the express image of the...

He would have had greater success with a changed diet. And given up the smoking.

It is historically well known, and written of by many spiritual leaders of that era, that the vast majority of people who attended church at all did so for solely social reasons, and remained unconverted. The churches themselves were merely means by which business men could make acquaintance...

Mmmm. What ever did happen to the 'good old days'? Oh, that's right, they were when I was a child without responsibility and...ummm...blind to what was really going on around me. Actually, thinking back I remember issues of loneliness, spiritual issues that remain unresolved, family feuds...

What can one say but AMEN.

I think you are being overly offended and taking umbrage where none is required. My post wasn't directed at you personally, nor was there one hint that anything I mentioned was directed at this particular thread more than any other. What I was presenting was a general caution based on prophecy...

The Nicean Creed was formulated under the auspices of a pagan emperor who them persecuted and threw out the dissenters. The 'Catholic' church you speak of was in no way universal by the time of the 4th century. It was a name the bishops of Rome held on to to give the impression of originality...

There's so much to discuss and debate and complain about when it comes to politics. But is this the gospel? The gospel should be out only focus. We all agree that time is short, and the things happening in the world confirm that. So we should be talking about Jesus. It's getting far too easy to...

My super-power... Exaggerating everything I think I'm good at, exercising that thing the next day and falling flat on my face. So I ain't sayin' nothin'.

Easily fooled? I don't think so. The rebellion wouldn't have been a one night experience. It may have taken eons, with Lucifer himself perhaps not even knowing in the beginning where his ideas were leading. I see it as a developing political campaign over leadership, with Lucifer developing a...

That's the situation the government is currently engineering. Crop destruction...not crop failure, distribution issues.

My daughter sent me a video from the US with several farmers revealing that they are being paid by the government 1½ times the market value of their crops TO DESTROY THEM. They are paid extra if they recognize their carbon footprint by mowing their crops... Otherwise the government will be using...

Can you imagine Abraham's disappointment when God told him to sacrifice Isaac? His disappointment wouldn't have been only in regards the loss of Isaac, but also in God. "Oh," he likely would have thought. "So that's what you're like. Just like all the rest demanding child sacrifice." We are...

Mark, the scriptures are not faultless in detail, but they are faultless in principle. The Bible isn't word inspired, but thought inspired. The prophets wrote down in their own words, the visions, dreams, thoughts, concepts and ideas revealed to them through inspiration. Hence why all the...

When God destroyed Sodom, what was so offensive to Him that it needed destruction? The people... Or the sin that the people refused to separate from, making the people collateral damage? Hence the reluctance on God's part to judge arbitrarily but was willing for Abraham to bargain, and God's...

This topic, as I said, is under discussion with my friends from church. There are sound arguments on both sides. I'm coming to the conclusion that yes, there are incidents where God found it necessary to destroy, for reasons sometimes we don't understand, but we simply have to trust His...
