Re: Never had a good response to this
So one last thought before I leave you. In most discussions with believers, I find it comes down to accusations (by the believers) that I'm not truly open to the Truth, and I've made up my mind, and I'm making myself God, yadda yadda. You couldn't be more wrong, but I don't expect you to know that f...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Are you kidding? It is fulfilled bible prophecy that the Jews would reject their messiah until the last days and this is fulfilled bible prophecy that you try to use as evidence? You're probably not a Jew but if you want to act like one then here Ummm...it's one thing to say that the Jews would rej...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Terrible people do terrible things. If you are refering to your examples... by all means yes, and they can be forgiven if truly repentant. Lumping Sister Theresa in the same sentence... :swhat: :[/quote] The tie-in here was not 'terrible people', it's 'things that are hard to reconcile for a believ...

Re: Never had a good response to this
If it's a double fullfillment, I believe it's tied into Jesus, here in Isaiah 7:14: 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a [l]virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name [m]Immanuel. When the Lord was speaking to Ahaz in verse 14, He referred to Ahaz ...

Re: Never had a good response to this
I didn't ignore my 1-5 answers. My 1-5 answers were answered as directly as I thought possible, to the questions you asked. I don't believe the birth of Jesus was a sign to Ahaz. I already thought I made that clear with my answer to your question #5. As far as a sign to Ahaz, I said to read forward...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Ok, as far as how Isaiah 7 has "anything whatsoever" to do with a Messianic prophecy about Christ, I guess I'd say the following: I'm no Hebrew expert, but the word translated as "virgin", in Isaiah 7:14 is the Hebrew word `almah . It means a young woman of marriageable age. But...

Re: Never had a good response to this
If I am wrong, and there is no God, then I lose nothing. If you`re wrong, and there is, you lose everything. I can appreciate most of what you wrote above, and respect your openness to read and learn differing viewpoints. This last sentence struck me though - and I hear it a lot - as profoundly nar...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Sister Theresa of Calcutta never heard the call of God for 70 + years... her faith was not shaken and her continued journey saved hundreds of thousand of lives and brought even more to death's door step close to and in union with God. This makes perfect sense to me and how I view the world. She was...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Again, if you have a specific issue you want to discuss, maybe a specific bible verse, then post it please. I generally don't make it a habit of locking topics, but this is going nowhere fast. And If I get a sense that you are here only to attack, then you will be banned. The ball is in your court....

Re: Never had a good response to this
So what made you re-evaluate what you believe? I have no problem with your pov even if I disagree with it, I just cannot fathom how, if you were once so sure, you have changed your mind. As far I see (and I admit I may be wrong) nothing that has been put forward by science disproves God. I have onl...

Re: Never had a good response to this
You are ignoring the dead sea scrolls that proved conclusively that the Hebrew text the KJV translators used to translate the bible has not changed like Thomas Paine said in the 1700' s. I don't know too much about the dead sea scrolls, but what I do know (and I hope you do as well) is what all Bib...

Re: Never had a good response to this
And what about if you are wrong about this? Would you celebrate that? Absolutely. Remember, I was a believer for over 30 years. I went the first 15 years of my career being known at work as the crazy born again who never swore, went to church/cell group every week, who rarely drank, and who used to...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Questioner, Are you going to get back on topic and address the question I asked you? I explained that I believe Isaiah 1:4 is about Jesus. I wouldn't say it's solely related to his incarnation, If that's what you're getting at. Is someone promoting Isaiah 1:4 as something that you believe is wrong?...

Re: Never had a good response to this
Anyway, condemn away young man, i read the first 12 or so paragraphs... I'm sorry, but I am, apparently, one of those bullet proof Christians. It doesn't matter what they say or why, I know and have experienced my God in heart and will never give Him away. I'm sorry you have, but there is Hope and ...

Yeah, yeah...No True Scotsman...I get it. Let me say it again. I'll put it below as maybe it'll be more clear.
