    POLL: Was Jesus PERFECT?

    I would not worry much about the final end of the man, David. Rather I look at David as the type or shadow of or for you and me. Him and other rather than Jesus for Jesus never stumbled. Jesus never committed murder or adultery. Perhaps we have not either, but we certainly have sinned and come...

    Israel is the Church

    Yes, we most certainly differ, but perhaps not as you suggest. I am, I guess like you a Bible reader. For many years I have been reading the Bible, all of it [66 books]. I read from it 7 days a week and have done so for years without missing a day. But you see, that is simply eating the flesh of...

    The scriptures may be complete, but they are certainly not completely understood by all who read them. People sometimes need signs today even as people needed signs during the times when the scriptures are set.

    Did you not even read my post before responding?

    POLL: Was Jesus PERFECT?

    I certainly disagree with your equation. Eventually they [perfect and sinless] will be equal in a person who is always yielding himself to God and looking to God, but, that comes with growth and maturity. I believe that Job was perfect in the moment of the first cited verse, but not yet...

    Calvinism is a Cult

    My likes on this forum mean I appreciate what the person said... sometimes even when I really disagree. Stranger is an unusual fellow, but were not all of the closest disciples of Jesus who walked with him in the flesh unusual or even peculiar? "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal...

    POLL: Was Jesus PERFECT?

    Maybe we do believe Jesus is perfect and/or sinless some of the time and that is expressed in our actions or our inactions according to our faith. Jesus did say, "... According to your faith be it unto you" Matt 9:29 Does our faith waver? Does it change or is it that sometimes what needs to...

    Oh I can, but I won't describe one to you because you have already decided it is not possible, limiting God Himself as they did in the OT. "Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." Psalm 78:41 God gave us the authority to limit Him for a period of time...

    POLL: Was Jesus PERFECT?

    I do not believe that Jesus died for his own sins. You missed my point which was about you or I being perfect by simply surrendering completely to Him continuously while we still have time. I am not certain that I really understand this sentence so I won't comment on it as it stands.

    Israel is the Church

    Perhaps you are more interested in winning the "debate" that in learning from God along with me. All of us are right in our own eyes according to Solomon as he wrote under the inspiration of God. Are we all really right always? I am no theologian and have never claimed to be. I simply follow...

    People are people everywhere no matter what we may have heard or read supposedly even from those supposedly on our side. In Viet Nam we were never allow long hair on our heads or facial hair. In 1966 when I went to the Dominican Republic, also on active duty with the US Army, I grew a mustache...

    I will leave the response to that in the hands of God! :D

    I understand. Ours were definitely NOT secure in that sense. If I am remembering correctly we had 32 voice channels and 16 teletype channels. At the time our equipment provided mainline communications for the nation of South Viet Nam as well as for the military. Quite likely the Viet Cong used...

    POLL: Was Jesus PERFECT?

    Thanks for the clarification, but it will make no difference to most people. People want to disbelieve or have a negative faith with regard to what Jesus is quoted as saying in the scriptures with regard to being perfect. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is...

    This was one of our antennas, a canvas balloon bag lined with silver. We had two facing north to Hue and two facing south to Quangnai. When I first arrived in the country we went off the air long enough to raised the tower on which they were attached from 40 feet to 60 feet to improve reception.

    POLL: Was Jesus PERFECT?

    @Bobby Jo I won't vote because most people make a presumption as what God calls perfect. Job was perfect according to verse 1 of chapter 1 yet did he commit no sins after that? "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared...

    Israel is the Church

    What are you going to say that you have not already and what am I going to say that will change anything? Do you presume that you are never wrong? I certainly make no such presumption about myself. Each of us believes we are correct or we would already be changed if we were sincere AND we were...

    Your presumption and condemnation of others may result badly for you... "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but...

    So don't trust the imposters, but do not presume that person who does not agree with you on every point is an imposter. I would disagree with me if the me of today were to meet the me of 40 years ago. Jesus grew and so must we grow until we run out of time. The scripture when is it understood...
