MacDaddy01: Wow, what foolish thinking!
A mystery is not proof of anything. You dont say that "we dont know how Mr X died, therefore God killed him".
The pagan would say that the god of rain/water reveals himself through mysterious floods. That is the same nonsense you make when you claim that god reveals himself through mysteries.
Another thing is that a mystery by itself is unkown and not understandable. For you to claim that god did it is to acknowledge that you understand the mystery. Paradox. It is like christians claiming that the world was created in 6 days; are they geologists? cant you do without the "F" word? I thought that you/we have grown out of this? |

frosbel: Let me add my little voice to this 
I hate to use the word rapture as it denotes a whole pile of trash called prophecy, aka the left behind series.
Jesus's coming will be sudden, no warning, no prior notification.
Only the wise will perceive that we are nearer to the time, but no one knows the date or time.
Jesus arrives in from the clouds at the blowing of the trumpet by the archangel, the dead in Christ are raised first and we who are alive will meet the Lord in the air.
Our bodies will be totally transformed in that one moment.
Now here's were rapturites get it wrong. No one is going to heaven.
We will come down with Christ from the clouds to judge the world.
There will be terror in the hearts of men in those days.
"Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth." - Isaiah 2:19
Isaiah 2:20 In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.
Then the white throne judgement starts :
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
After the total destruction of Satan, his demons and wicked mankind in the lake of fire the earth will be purified and recreated for dwelling by the righteous.
Jesus Christ will rule from the new Jerusalem which will be in the same location as the old Jerusalem and he will be king forever after David. 1corinth 15:28 |

hmmm. i think he's doing quite well overall. you anti-atheist bias makes you ignore his sound points and you capitalise on his human errors and you would rather attack his person with every slightest opportunity. i would say this is a persecution that atheists have to face in our religion-dominated society. no problem, its all good.
@ bolded
WOW. i can see that you are turning the way of davidylan. i can start engaging you in foul languages if i so desire. but i wont, at least for now. lets just engage in meaningful conversation for now. aight?
you asked me: where is my humanity? now i'm asking you: where is your spirituality?
remember you said we non-believrs are going to eternal hell, do you want to join us in hell with your foul mouth and abusive languages? (even though some non-believers are morally far better than you christians)
let me remind you what the bible says. Ephesians 4:29: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. James 3:10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Matthew 15:10-11 And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
NOW LISTEN AND LISTEN WELL
Matthew 12:36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak
James 2:10 For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws.
1 Cor 6:9-10 Don't you know that those who do wrong will have NO share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who Indulge in Sexuall Sin, who are Idol Worshipers, Adulterers, Male Prostitutes, Homosexuals, Thieves, Greedy people, Drunkards, Abusers, and Swindlers—NONE OF THESE will have a share in the KINGDOM OF GOD.
so before you verbally attack an atheist in your "anti-humanity" crusade. think twice. so that you dont descend so low so as to fall in the same category as the people you are condemning to hell.
cheers. ^^ well said. |

Christianity Etc › Re: 34 Reasons Why The “holy Spirit” Is Not A “person” - Bible Scholars attention ! by truthislight: 9:43pm On Sep 08, 2012 |
Goshen360: @ truthislight
This is one issue with you. First, you only call yourself "truthislight" but lack how to communicate with other people called believers like yourself. This has been seen many times with you in this session. I pray you look into this aspect of your life.
Second. I gave up on you and Ijawkid in giving you more scriptures where the Holy Spirit is called God since I realized you are hard bent and believe the Holy Spirit is ONLY a force, influencer or power from God to a believer and not a distinct being. The scripture I first gave you and Ijawkid where the Holy Spirit is called God:
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Acts 5:3-4 Kjv
What did you do with the scripture after I gave it to you? You and Ijawkid turned it down and came up with stories saying it's not valid (on your own authority) and it doesn't mean what it say. Now, how can lie unto the Holy Ghost be lie unto God IF the Holy Ghost is not God OR how can lie unto God be same as lie unto Holy Ghost IF Holy Ghost is not God?
Third. I gave up talking to you and Ijawkid on this subject with the thought that, how am I sure if I give you another scripture saying the Holy Spirit is God....How am I sure you will still not cook up another story against it? And yet, you are looking for scriptures that explicitly call the Holy Spirit, God. You simple don't believe in Trinity and the evidence is very clear. So no amount of scriptures shown to you, Ijawkid, frosbel and others alike will do anything. You will still come up around reasoning God as 1+1+1 rather than 1x1x1. if i should call you a LIAR now, you will start crying but that is who you are. Where in those scriptures did it say the "holy spirit is a God"? Stop twisting the word of God to fit it into your pegan doctrine! |

aletheia: So you agree that Jesus is God. Good. Now consider these: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost What do you understand by this verse? What does "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" mean?
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 ¶So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.(Acts 13)
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? (Acts 5)
So let's see. . .the Holy Spirit speaks, refers to Himself as I, sends out people and can be lied to. Can an impersonal influence do all these or have personal attributes as these?
Oh and by the way, you agree that it is God and not men who are blasphemed against, wouldn't you? 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. (Matthew 12) ^^^ are this the explicit calling of the holy spirit God? Did you not read and see how clear Jesus was called God? Isaiah 9:6 Or those are inferences of God Yahweh activities via his power? This power that he sent to Jesus and also his apostles com his disciples? How then do you or can you understand the gift of the spirit that enabled the disciples to speak in tonques? Was that also not the holy spirit? That they spoke in tongues is that not the doing of the holy spirit? So, when the holy spirit enable someone to speak in tongues we call that person God? What of when it enable an animal to speak? When James address the audience on the issue of circumcission did he and them the apostles and older men not say it was the holyspirit? Hmmm! Does'nt those that speak in tongues also say it is the holy spirit that is talking? This is too petty an inference. |

Simple. The scriptures are unequivocally clear on this. . .even the OT is unambiguous about it: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.(Isa 9:6) why are you not showing where the bible called the holy spirit a "God" and not implying it is? That Isaiah 9:6 that you quoted cant you see how explicit it is in calling Jesus God? If the holy spirit is a God dont you think that The bible will have explicitly say so? Can God have forgotten?

For whatever reason, best known to the Holy Spirit who inspired the word, I do not know why the Holy Spirit was not in the verse of I Cor. 11:3. I will be back to share more. Thank you. ^^^ this your question why is it that sin against the holy spirit will not be forgiving is very elementery! Let me help you out. IN my last post i had explain why sinning against the holy spirit is a sin against God. Now, why will sin against Yahweh be forgiving and sin against Jesus will be forgiving but sin against the holy spirit will not be forgiving? This will be a straith forward answer cus it is very elementery. Eg. In this forum NL/other places there are those (eg atheist) that dont have the accurate knowledge about Yahweh and his son Jesus christ and as such they say all sort of things about Yahweh and Jesus christ out of ignorance even insulting them. This is similar to a child putting his hand into fire cus it (s)he does not know what it is doing and need to be help/protected, it/they atheist can be forgiving since it is a function of ignorance. but not the same with a sane adult Deliberately putting his hands into fire, such an act cannot be excused. And such people ^^^^ cannot have the free gift of the holy spirit since they dont have a use of it and dont have a recognition by God for such a gift. God searches the heart of men and even the kidneys and knows what the awareness is. When some one come to an accurate knowledge of truth God GIVE him the free gift of the holy spirit for rightiouse acts and purposes, if this individual for whatever reasons, if greed or whatever makes him to decide to work contrary to the leading of the holy spirit in righteousness, and DELIBERATELY go contrary to it in doing what is bad unrepentantly, this gift that he willfully turn against is called sinning against the holy spirit. For such individual the essence of the massage about the christ is no longer of value and such individual is not what God's kindness is meant. His chapter is a close case since he was neither deceived or ignorant but wilfully rejected God's undeserved kindness. Such individual will undergo an everlasting destruction. A death without resurrection........... Ie. The spirit of God that kept him alive Goes back to God without it ever coming back to bring him back to life. In that case his soul(life) is dead and is dead for all eternity. This is a thing that only the almighty God can do/achieve since he is the custodian of the force that keep humans alive. QED This is what is meant by sinning against the holyspirit. Peace |

frosbel: Yes.
But the question you should ask is, authority to what extent.
Let us use Joseph as a case in point.
"42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck. 43 And he made him ride in his second chariot. And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!”[e] Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt." - Genesis 41
Joseph was not Pharaoh, but he was operating under the authority of Pharaoh.
Another example is arch angel Micheal who rebuked SATAN not in his own name or authoity but in the name of the Lord, Yahweh.
"But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" - Jude 1:9 it shows that Yahweh does delegate other Angels to come to earth on his behalf and that does not make those Angel's Yahweh. People should read the bible well and stop following tradition. Peace |

OLAADEGBU: Good point. That verse asserts that Jesus Christ was God in human form as we can see in the KJV below:
"Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am" -- John 8:58 The Evidence Bible.
Someone explained it like this:
"If I give you a small slice of cheese from a large block (the taste being constant throughout the whole block), and you spit out the cheese saying you hate the taste, then you reject the whole block. Jesus was God manifest in human form. If the Jews and other religious folks rejected Him, they rejected the Father also -- he who is of God hears God's words".
John corroborates this in his epistle when he wrote:
"Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father, (but) he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also" (1 John 2:23). for a teaching to have a claim of being biblical it has to flow consistently from GENESIS to Revelation. It does not need human to force it in. |

frosbel: The authority of Yahweh's name.
If I came to your house with the authority of the King to protect your city from wicked enemies, that simply means I have the full authority as a servant of the king to call up an army in his name to defend your city . so, as an envoy of the king if it is demanded of you of your authority, what will you put forward? |

frosbel: 20 “Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 21 Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him.
The angel was God's angel sent to guide the children of Israel , he was given the authority in the name of GOD.
So he was an angel , probably one of God's mighty angels. but was authorised to bear whose name? |
