TOL posters ... How do some of you explain the manifestation of a super-natural male presence know by men like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to be God Almighty? He ultimately was identified to the children of Israel/Jacob by Moses to be The LORD The LORD God. Did you know that The LORD God was...

I, Ps82, had said: In the case of Sodom and Gomorrah it says the LORD God came himself and went down into the streets that night and preached truth of sin and the need of repentance to the people; Even if the story didn't write it out explicitly most people should ultimately be able to SEE THE...

Since at least two people have discussed the practice/ritual of circumcision I've had it on my mind. Since I think it had the purpose of being a foreshadow revealing something about the work of the Christ then this is just a suggestion/a thought of mine at this time. God created Mankind male...

If it said his bones were like bronze beams ... "after he was resurrected" that has to do with inside of his body. I had never seen those verses. I will take a look. Right now I don't really have a problem with that inside appearance being correct. My version is about the outward appearance at...

And we are in such debt. I'd rather my tax dollars go for the protection of our nation than handouts to illegal immigrants, defending abortion, pork barrel projects, huge biased and corrupt bureaucracies, Fraud, salaries and huge spending accounts for elected leaders. I don't like the idea of...

I think it has to do with our protecting our country from attacks from our enemies. With the latest inventions in weapons the world has become smaller and strategic land spaces are paramount to our safety. It had become a Western versus Eastern hemisphere situation. Land ownership provides a...

I've read his concerns and actions about Greenland have to do with Russia and China wanting it and how it and the countries around it have not been willing or able to defend it from China and Russia. It would be a strategic land space for our enemies to threaten the safety of our continent ...

All good points. Except ... in the case of Sodom and G. and the tower of Babel. God did already know. But God is mercy (merciful and loving) and love. He often sent a prophets among men to warn the people as with the children of Noah and the children of Abraham and Israel when they were...

Chrysostom: Perhaps I understand how you came to your idea ... but I think there is NO literal 'outside of God's essence/substance/spirit'. He is omni-present. I believe there can only be a sort of outside of him in this fashion: 1.) Lost souls can be out of his presence. 2.) Outside of a...

GAL 2:7 Paul had been sent by the Lord to the Gentiles and to the poor. He had received from God the good news that circumcision was no longer needed to be spread to the Gentiles. Why? My Thoughts: The symbolism of the ritual had been fulfilled by Christ for the OT followers including the Jews...

My thoughts: New WAY? I believe Genesis 2 reveals that The Christ was always to be The Way! The promised / The prophesied ONE. There was no NEW WAY ... just a fulfillment of --- The promised WAY. Christ said: I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. I think: Circumcision was an OT symbolic ritual...

I am very interested in the use of the concept of eating and drinking ... IOW partaking. I think you and I agree!!! Great. In this way. See if I'm with you: I believe partaking of the Lord's supper is an important symbolic ritual. I believe that you should already be a Christian to join in...

Tell me Nick. Regarding what we(Chrysostom, Derf) have said above ... On which comments would you like to respond? Agreement or disagreement?

You mean wisdom, intellect, and spunk?

For me God (the elohiym of Gen. 1 and Strong's Concordance) is God the Spirit. He has existed eternally. He worked 6 days before LORD Father God. We might could say with a human perspective that in a list of the personages of the Trinity: HE came first for he was eternal. The LORD Father God of...
