    One Gospel

    Using the phone to post definitely is not ideal, but the best option for me getting reception being out in the sticks, and even on my phone, the service stops and resumes repeatedly. Challenging, for sure. God Bless, Taken

    Does God Create Evil or Not?

    It seems you have not realized; n2thelight, did not say that; I DID. N2thlight was quoting what I SAID, and then asked me a question. So, actually while you were addressing n2thelight; you were quoting my words, and attributing me words to n2thelight; whe n2thelight NEVER said those words...

    One Gospel

    No, I do not have to agree with you. My belief In God, In His Word, IS EXPRESSLY between the Lord and myself. Your word was not recorded in Scripture. You MIGHT claim to agree with something recorded in Scripture; and thus you and I would likewise be agreeing with a SAME portion recorded in...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    What ever are you talking about? How much more of a declaration do you think is necessary, beyond me declaring I TRUST "ALL" Scripture is true? No. I do not see one claiming to Believe all scripture is true....to mean Scripture agrees with the individuals idea of what is TRUE. I have...

    Does God Create Evil or Not?

    So your implication is YOU THINK I HAVE CLAIMED to have no sin? Not ONCE will you see me having made that claim. Not ONCE will you be able to QUOTE my own words making that claim. However what you can QUOTE, me as saying is I was naturally born in SIN, committed SIN. So continue, in your...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    No, not what I WANT IT TO BE. What Scripture has declared, and I CHOOSE to Believe is TRUE. Every individual has the SAME option to CHOOSE what they Believe. They can BELIEVE Scripture or DENY Scripture. That is their choice. I have made my choice, and have shared the knowledge of MY choice...

    Does God Create Evil or Not?

    Did someone claim they have no sin? Who would that be making that claim, that you decided to mention that to me? God Bless, Taken

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Well, actually, sort of reversed. I chose to Believe ALL of Scripture is TRUTH. So regardless of what I read, in Scripture; attributed to being said by WHOM; (Father God, Son, Holy Spirit, angels, men)... I Trust it is TRUE; precisely because The Lord, sanctioned it as Truth, with His own...

    Does God Create Evil or Not?

    The KNOWLEDGE of Evil. And the tree that was planted in the Garden, by God, never having said that tree, came forth out of the earth, but rather was planted by God; is the precise tree; that opened man to having the Knowledge of evil. And Scripture that informs us; God knows all things; and...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Maybe quick for you, but I post from my phone, and can not copy and paste scriptures. Gen 17:1 ...I am the ALMIGHTY God Gen 28:13 ...I am the God of Abraham Ex 3:14 ...I AM THAT I AM Ex 6:7 ...I am the LORD your God Ex 31:13 ...I am the LORD that doth sanctify you John 13:13 ...you called...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Yep. Mortal is in regard to that WHICH IS natural. Your body IS Mortal. It's LIFE is mortal. It's LIFE is BLOOD. The first man, who BTW was NOT born, but was mortal, became SUBJECT to death. And every BODY born thereafter, IS natural, IS mortal, precisely BECAUSE it is subject to death. A...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Agree with that. And would add, THAT would apply IMO, to the ones Teaching (ie Rabbis), and the ones Hearing the Teaching. But, there were, via, scattering, some being exposed to different cultures, ideas, etc., some Jews, who becoming generationally lost to participating in Jewish practices...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Continued part 4 When a natural man was created; He was a Body of dust, created out of the Earth, and when that body's life (its blood) stops functioning; The body becomes Physically Dead, and returns to the Earth from whence it came. The living soul, that was imparted into the body, VIA...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Continued part 3 WHEN an individual hears of God; and his own interest is sparked to Learn ABOUT God and HIS Word... A new Complex set of Knowledge and Information becomes received by the chlld/man. Complex, Because it is the Hearing that is paramount; WITHOUT seeing. Complex, Because it is...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Continued; part 2 A man naturally BORN, "IS" naturally SEPARATED from GOD... Precisely, BECAUSE a man "NOT SEPARATED" from God...Heartfully (ie from the thoughts in his natural spirit, his truth, in his heart); Believes IN GOD and HIS WORD. A newborn, DOES NOT Know OF God, thus cannot Believe...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Your reference begin with a commentary on Philosophical gobbledygook, that is nothing what I said, and thus moot. And your view doesn't really explain anything. A body, soul, and spirit, are distinct things, of one man. The body, soul, and spirit of one man, has a distinct identity (NAME)...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Disagree. Rather saying reading the Scripture and trusting what I read is True. Precisely. In Express Words. The Scripture speaks of the soul leaving, and the body void of life, and the soul returning to the body and the body revived. As far as the soul; having record, knowledge, of the...

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Awe, and you were doing so well...then leave us hanging...;) And Thus...what in your opinion was the catalyst for so many Jews, NOT KNOWING? The 400 years lull and knowledge not being passed down? Influence of other cultures? Thanks for sharing. God Bless, Taken

    Is Temptation Evil?

    Knowledge is one thing, understanding the Knowledge is another thing. Knowledge ABOUT God, and His Creations is revealed BY GOD. Understanding OF Gods Knowledge is ALSO revealed BY GOD. Huh? Totally disagree. But then one has to make his own decision To Choose to believe All Scripture is...

    Does God Create Evil or Not?

    God does not Change, past, present, future. That was not in question. What God DOES and WHEN, is at His pleasure. Of course God makes knowledge available to us. God IS the possessor of ALL knowledge. The KEY is: At Gods Pleasure... Some of Gods KNOWLEDGE is GIVEN... to a specific man, or a...
