Why are you so touchy? It was not shown in the post to which I responded. Should I have reread the entire thread? That verse does not prove Jesus was God. It shows that He existed before Abraham. Therefore He was older than Abraham. So was Enoch the 7th from Adam. This is a presumption as...

I had the one very bad personal experience with a Mormon, my sister-in-law. But I have met too many 'good' Mormons to condemn them all because of her. She could have easily belonged to any other church group and done the same thing she did to my little girl. Being connected to the wrong group...

While I understand your thinking on this, that can never tell the whole story for every person. Sometimes God puts us in a place purposely even though the officially accepted doctrines are in serious error. My last place had some good things involved but I knew that eventually I needed to be...

Thanks. I'll make a note to possibly check into later...

Yes, it would seem that God was paying attention to someone's prayers!

Would not a person being led by the Holy Spirit be proper church? Would simply following historic Christianity rather than Holy Spirit increase the possibility of following leaders who are in error?

I like this statement of yours much better than others you have made. Why not give everyone the benefit of a doubt, considering that perhaps when they seem to be in error, they may not be there deliberately. [Of course, there is also the possibility, is there not, that you are sometimes in...

We do disagree... "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." John 12:48 He speaks of His words which are the living Word. The words written on the pages of a Bible only have Life when and...

Ah yes! I have heard of that belief before, but have never heard anyone argue in favor of it. They may have done so on this forum, but admittedly I do not read every post on this forum.

Yes, men have always doing this to the point today where many in church groups, who might have serious doubts, would not speak up because of the same fear described here: "But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall...

Give God always the glory my friend and let Him lead us. Too people in too many church groups blindly follow their human leaders instead of seeking God and following His lead. Some apparently don't recognize that there is a difference: "Jesus wept"

Did He? In which verse does He say that? The 8th chapter has 59 verses. In any case, I never said that Jesus was not God. On the contrary... Perhaps you are looking for this verse: "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre...

For you perhaps, but certainly not for me and apparently not for some others here. You may say we are wrong, but would it not leave the judgment to God rather than argue about something is not an duty assigned to you by God?

@justbyfaith Yes, it matters to God because He understands only too well how it we come to the point of supporting, or NOT, any given doctrine. All of our choices matter until the end. The people who will make it with Him to the end are those who have that perfect heart toward Him. By this I...

Thank you! I am glad you picked up on both the "cut out of the mountain" and "becomes a great mountain". I see your point, but I still remain unsettled on the final conclusion of it. One other thing I have heard from people is that the feet of the statue, the clay and iron which cannot be...

As I said, I don't really believe in a Multiplicity in such a sense, but Jesus' prayer helps me to understand that I really do NOT understand God at all. It makes it impossible for me to go along with the crowd and embrace a Trinity. I had never heard of this Worldwide Church of God you...

We are in agreement on this but it seems unlikely that many others here will want to travel down this trail. I understand it can be difficult to go against almost everyone else, but that really is what Jesus did. They will say that this verse or that verse support trinity and so some of them do...

Nothing wrong with money so long as we are not in love with it: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." I Tim 6:10

@justbyfaith As to Jesus, while I believe that He is God, I would not write off a person who believes simply what the scriptures say... that He is the Son of God if that is according to their understanding different. Such a judgment is not mine to make. I think you would find it difficult to...

I have no problem answering publicly but it does tend to derail the thread. Simply I do believe in the Deity of Jesus because God made it so. As to the a trinity, why stop at a trinity when we consider Jesus' prayer to his Father here? "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which...
