It's beginning to appear almost certain that they would have. Nearly every word Jesus uttered during His earthly ministry opposed the political and religious establishments of His day. No doubt, he would have been accused of being a reactionary, a communist and, finally, a terrorist. Think about...

Hi! I myself was born with a cleft palate and I can completely understand the sentiments which you have expressed here. I never dated or kissed a girl until I was 28. My entire growing up years and adolescence was one complete emotional and social disaster because of my congenital deformity...

Hi! 'Polt' Ummm, Jesus did indeed preach to the dead during the three days between His death and resurrection. And, the two witnesses of Revelation will also be speaking to the dead who are imprisoned in the realm of Death before returning to their natural bodies once again, Death and realm of...

Hi! 'Aspen' I was rather perplexed by your comment saying, "I think the main problem ... all the teaching were developed 1900 years after Christ", I suspect that you might not be so eager to include the 'Trinity Doctrine' into this same formula mix; after all, it was first introduced some 300...

I read these above comments of 'Arnie Manitoba' and found them sickening. It's incredibly unnerving and hypocritical to read such comments from a North American who lives on soil that was stolen from an original people by ancestors using the same slander and hateful prejudices. For the first 100...

Hi! 'Terry' Ummm, reading your list of these notorious Bible Repairmen gave me the shivers. :) ["... such people as JR Church, Hal Lindsey, John Hagee, and many others"] Evidently, there are small fortunes being earned by these self-appointed alarmists and spiritual soothsayers; If it wasn't...

Hi! 'Clark Thomson' again :) Absolutely, your comment here is true. Love is not merely an emotion; love is an active creative spiritual power. Death too is not merely a state of being. Death is also an active destructive spiritual power. This is how we should be reading the word 'love' and...

Hi! 'Clark Thomson' An excellent observation! Yes, God's plan ('Logos') remained hidden within His innermost being from the time which is known as 'eternity past', (eternity already passed). God has never wavered from His eternal plans and purposes; His counsel remains eternally present and...

Hi! '101G' I added some hurried history about the origin of the trinity doctrines to perhaps enlighten those in here who might have not given the matter a second glance. Of course, you are correct in saying that a narrative of religious history is not a suitable replacement for "study to show...

For the past few years, I've been basically alone trying to more fully understand this 'trinity' issue. Ummm, I've never set foot in a Oneness church ... nor have I personally met anyone who claims to be a 'non-trinitarian' believer. I even had to look up Wikipedia today to discover what another...

Hi '101G' Ummm, you wrote: "There is only One person in the Godhead. you have the thoughts that there are three person". I need to immediately clarify this with you: The languages of men have severe limitations and disadvantages. There isn't always a ready vocabulary to express the things which...

Hi! '101G' I'm not with the profane thought that God is not absolutely invisible and immaterial. After all, God is spirit. God does not possess a body in the sense of what we humans know as a body. I'm simply saying that the Scriptures repeatedly speak about God functioning as having the shape...

Hi! '101G' I first need to apologize to you for my failing to respond to your earlier lengthy Post adjacent to this Thread. Mid-morning yesterday/Tuesday, I was about three-quarters through creating reply to you Online here when suddenly my Chrome Browser died and I lost all that I had typed. At...

Hi! 'Episkopos' Thank you for your comments. I'm especially appreciative of the fact that you, as the overseer of this Discussion Board, permit every sort of opinion regarding this subject matter to be freely discussed ... whether these might agree with your stated belief posture or not. It's a...

Hi! 'Episkopos' You wrote: "Jesus created the world'. I have a question please: Doesn't the Bible specifically say "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God". I'm assuming that your claim is that the Word is synonymous with and/or an alternative name for Jesus...

Hi! OK, I'll bite. Can Satan read our thoughts ... our minds? The answer may not be as straightforward as you would like ... nonetheless, here it is: Satan behaves and functions through faith. Does that surprise you? Well, it shouldn't. Even God Himself functions and behaves entirely in/through...

Hi! '101G' Yeah, I kinna' suspected that my avoiding to identity the personage of God might cause some to rightfully question. Ummm, I'd like to respond to your comment saying, "God is the Holy Spirit. cap 'S'". Your composite of God's identity as being the Holy Spirit is somewhat correct...

Hi! 'ChristRoseFromTheDead' I was greatly impressed by your comment saying, "Jesus is in heaven, but his body is on earth through whom he reigns". Thank you!

Hi! 'Walter' Ummm, Walter, yuh gotta' take a deep breath an' exhale all your pestering frustrations. Nothing is to be gained by accusing people of emptiness and/or as cooperating with lies and deceit. Involuntary scriptural ignorance and lack of teaching is not something devilish. All of us...

Hi! 'Williemac' You are correct in saying that heavenly places should not be thought of as a 'location'. Rather, it is better imagined as a 'climate' or 'atmosphere'..
