    Your preferred point of view

    Same here. I'm always using "You" and sometimes it gets people upset that I'm talking about them. Most of the time I'm speaking of myself and say "you".

    Some of those people in the audience looked like they couldn't wait for that song to be over. R.I.P. Mr. Plummer

    You've Got To Be Kidding?

    I heard they're making them out of some material called asbestos. Apparently there is a huge stockpile of the stuff they don't know what to do with.

    if we think about all those evils as coming from the heart, and desires of the flesh, and carnal mind. We might consider that the devil and Satan may be just another way of speaking of those things. Like a way of personifying how sin and death has come into this world and how it has effected us...

    Guilt and Shame

    Rom 2:14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. Rom 2:15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting...

    Evidence of a cruel God?

    I like to think that if we are not healed of all these things that come upon us (death especially) in this world, we are sure to be healed of them in the next.

    Jesus says a similar thing as Paul: Mat 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the...

    Yes, I agree. Paul makes of list of things is says are "the works of the flesh" which we are to avoid. Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these...

    Paul and James are very much in agreement when they speak of the flesh and desires. James simply refers to our own desires as what gives birth to sin, where Paul explains those desires as they relate to the law. For example, Paul says : "I would not know lusts except the law says "Thou shall not...

    I don't find it to be obscure at all. Certainly we need to control our own desires of the flesh. If not we fall into all sorts of problems. James tells that that everyone is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his OWN desires. And when those desires conceive they give birth to sin. So...

    I would like to keep this on topic if possible. Are you referring to the seven headed red dragon of Revelation 12?

    the apostle Paul would strongly disagree with you. have you read Romans 7? As far as God creating every thing good. He did. However, with the law comes the knowledge of sin. Everything would have remained good, and the law is good. But law exposes sin

    I agree. The seed of the women has not only reference to Christ but to all those who are in him (the church) The enmity is between believers and non-believers and the confrontations are deadly.

    I posted this in another thread as a reply to a debate I was having with a JW: The JW didn't want to continue anymore. I'm not telling you to abandon anything. I'm simply telling you what "in the flesh" means. It means to have the same flesh as all man. Jesus came in the flesh. And was a son of...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    I'm not telling you to abandon anything. I'm simply telling you what "in the flesh" means. It means to have the same flesh as all man. Jesus came in the flesh. And was a son of David according to the flesh. And there is only one kind of flesh of man........SINFUL FLESH! The fact that you deny...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    And here's another little bit of information from John. Just in case anyone might get confused. John was speaking to believers and therefore did not have to tell them whether or not Jesus had come but to make sure they knew he had come IN THE FLESH. 1Jn 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    I didn't say Jesus was son of Joseph. Jesus was son of Mary. And son of David ......and get this......the Bible, when telling us he was son of David......adds this little bit of extra informantion...it says....now get this..."who was descended from David according to the flesh" !! Rom 1:3 Now...

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    Not that this effects whether or not Jesus was of the same flesh as Paul and the rest of mankind (he was), that's already been established. But are you saying that Jesus is not descended from Abraham or David?

    The JW's claim Jesus was not son of Adam.

    That was my mistake. I had been reading what your literature had to say about Jesus being made in the "likeness of sinful flesh". And I recall finding something that suggested "likeness" meant something other than being the same sinful flesh. When actually "likeness of sinful flesh" means it...
