Re: Who met Jesus first, Andrew or Simon?
Jesus didn't put a magic spell on Peter and Andrew. When Jesus called to them, they were well aware of who He was. Based on their reaction. In fact the phrase, "come follow me," would have had significant meaning to a Jew. We are talking about men, totally willing to leave their livelihoo...

Re: Does the Ant not have a ruler?
Kurieuo, Good point, but using Wikipedia as a source is a very bold move. :) I know some have reservations, but truth can be found anywhere and noone has a corner on complete truth. So Wikipedia, while obvious secular perspectives filter through, still contains truth. For this reason, it would prob...

Re: "The Bible is NOT the infallible words of God"
Do you intend to mean that Rev 22:19 refers to the entire Bible? I haven't looked heavily into your other verses, but you've plainly missed the context of that verse if you see it pertaining to the entire Bible. I doubt that brandplucked will answer you because he hasn't been around for a while. (I...

Re: Does the Ant not have a ruler?
Kurieuo, Good point, but using Wikipedia as a source is a very bold move. :) I do believe in God, but I have some dissagreements when it comes to the Bible. I have been told many times that God is the author of the bible and that men only wrote what God told them to write. I don't beleive that this ...

Does the Ant not have a ruler?
I'm not a subject matter expert on Ant's, but I think that they do have a leader and live for the good of the community (It would be nice if humans did the same). Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, 8 Provides her su...

Is this an error in the Bible?
Knowing what we know today, would have Joshua told the Earth to stand still instead of the sun? Joshua: 12 Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in t...

Re: Trinity question: What does the word "person" mean?
Brother Bart, Thank you for your explanation; I do agree that the Trinity is a mystery that I cannot explain to others with scripture alone. It is evident in the bible that talks about God and Jesus being one being, but the bible also talks about Jesus and God being two separate beings; is this a co...

Re: Trinity question: What does the word "person" mean?
Brothers, I have read those scriptures and yes, many of the scritures show that Jesus and God the father are one; but what about the verses that I pointed out, do they not read has Jesus and God being two separate beings? I personally beleive that Jesus and God are the same entity, but I cannot prov...

Re: Trinity question: What does the word "person" mean?
Brother Christian2, Great links, it did not give me the clear answer that I was looking for. When I try to comprehend the Trinity as a finite being that I am. I think about the Borgs in Star Trek, even though they were seperate physical beings; they were part of one collective (Just a mere assumptio...

Re: Trinity question: What does the word "person" mean?
Brother Gmon, I truly apprciate the research and I have read all of the scriptures that you have quoted at one time or another. In some of the scriptures that you have quoted; I feel that it talks about two separate beings. For example: What I understand about the Trinity is the God, Jesus and the H...

Re: Trinity question: What does the word "person" mean?
Brothers, I do not mean to sound negative, but no one here has been able to give a clear answer either biblical or otherwise on the Trinity. Despite the Trinity being a christian theory, there is no irrefutable evidence that the Trinity is a biblical fact. I am not saying that there is or there isn'...

Re: Jesus and God
As I read the scripture in chapter 11, it talks about two different beings, Jesus and God the father. 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. I also remember reading in the gospels, when Jesus was talking about the last days and his disciples asked him w...

Jesus and God
Brothers and Sisters, I understand what John 1:1 says that the word became flesh. This makes sense to me; I can even understand that the creator of the earth and time and space can be in multiple places at the same time. I can also see that God the father, the creator of all things became a man and ...
