WHO GIVES A TOSS IF YOU ARE TERRIFIED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN NAUGHTY PERSON AND ARE SCARED OF WHAT LIES AFTER DEATH THEN TAKE SOLACE IN THE RANTINGS OF SOME OLD CODGER USING A BURNT STICK FOR A PEN. FOR ME I HAVE MADE SOME SHOCKERS BUT I NOW TRY EVEN HARDER TO BE THE GUY IN THE WHITE HAT BUT I HAVE NOT ASKED ANYONE OR ANYTHING FOR FORGIVENESS. ALL I DO IS SAY TO THOSE THAT LISTEN " I DO NOT EXPECT ANYONE TO CONDONE WHAT I DID" WE DO WHAT WE FEEL IS RIGHT AT THE TIME AND WE ARE OFTEN WRONG BUT THAT IS THE WAY OF ALL MEN.

Because Jesus said it was, and since He is God, He can't lie.

Hi leeroy

My 'son of God' theme seems to have disappeared.
I guess the site organizers do not like polemics.
That means religious controversy. It seems I have upset the Holy Joe's as well as the educated atheists
What fun!

So I think we have established that 'trinity' and 'god the son' are not expression found in scripture. Therefore people who think of God and his son in this way are in deep trouble, and I will give you Rev 22 v 18-19 for that. (I am starting to get comfortable with the ASV again. Haven't used it in years.)

Now there is only One true God and only One Lord Jesus Christ, so by all means ask you question and i will be happy to give you the answer your own bible gives.

Meanwhile If there is only one Shepard and flock. How do you account for something like 37,000 different religions calling themselves Christian all expecting to go to heaven when they die?
I shall give you 1 Cor vs 12-13-14. Does Christ (the household) exist divided?

Now try Rev 12 v 12 and you will see who is causing all the mischief.

2 Corinthians 4v4 is also worth looking up.

Finally if you should ever think of me as you enemy because I attack some of your cherished beliefs.
Remember The law of the Christ requires you to Love your enemy.

You do not know how many lives may be saved because you and I got together to hammer it out.

(Proverbs 27:17) 17 By iron, iron itself is sharpened. So one man sharpens the face of another.

leeroy, what i think and know, is that the bible isn't completely word of god, because, firstly; jesus was given scriptures from god, rules, to do that and that, so it has been thousands of years, people CHANGE little by little the facts of those scriptures according to their liking, one bible translation to another, one writer to another, it has been CHANGED, remember, so i'm not saying the whole book is a fake, i'm saying that it isn't and you'll never know that it's hundred percent ACCURATE.

Can never be. 100's of books were written , 4 were accepted some 300yrs later and even these four were written by people who were not even present when Jesus was around.It's someone elses writings wrongly attributed as being Gods word.

You just have to read Psalm 1 leeroy and you get it first hand not second.
Then as you read Psalm 2 you will get an insight into the reason for deplorable world conditions.
But I reckon you are working on this anyway.
