General Discussion / Re: Muslim Student Association President supports Jewish genocide
« on: September 06, 2010, 12:45:40 AM »
I was actually looking over some more Horowitz interviews and the like and ended up coming across a user on youtube who had uploaded a documentary about the massacre in Beslan. He had another video that, although it sorta makes me dizzy watching the text fly around, called 3 things you may not know about Islam. Although it's more of a review for those of us on the forum already, the video may be useful as a tool in some circumstances.

Here's a link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL9zypnTF1s

Unfortunately it has been spelled out to me that I am not welcome here.
I believe you're more than welcome, just some of your views are a little far out there compared to most. They also appear to be slightly lacking in foundation.
I was actually interested in how you were going to end your speech.

It would appear some prefer to exalt the old testament prophets and saints above Christ, as though they knew more about God than Christ! Our salvation is in Christ - the Son of God.
I'm not sure where you see people exalting Old Testament prophets above the Son of God, it just appears that they disagree with you saying that OT prophets were in Darkness and that God never commanded anyone to kill.

Due to such blasphemy and hersesy I will post here no more, until those guilty have repented.
Heresy -
1.    opinion or doctrine at variance with the orthodox or accepted doctrine, esp. of a church or religious system

I believe anyone that doesn't hold themselves to the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church would be a heretic, so I'd gladly call myself one and am fairly certain that you yourself would say the same thing.

Blasphemy
1.    impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.
2.      the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.

I'm not sure I see this in any posts other than some of your own. You're saying that what God's Word, the Bible, says in the OT is not true or misleading, however God is not the author of confusion.

1Cor 14:33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Also, you seem to be implying that no one on this forum, aside from yourself, prays enough, or doesn't pray at all when reading scripture. When you imply that, it feels as if you're setting yourself up at a "higher level" spiritually, and feels as though you're talking down to people who don't see things as you see them. I'm actually curious still how you came to the conclusions you did, but it seems like you may not finish; I was hoping that by seeing your closing on your posts  that myself or some of the others here could discuss the topic further.

I pray you all become more knowledgeable in Christ.

I'll do likewise for you brother Steve.

Peace and God bless you.

Judeo-Christian - General / Re: God knows His children and Satan knows his

I'm afraid satan does not know who his are. If he did then he wouldn't try and deceive the elect of God.

Only God knows his own, and who are satans.

Let's ask ourselves a few questions.

Can the human eye see the spiritual world or things within it? I think most would agree, it can not.

Does everyone have a spirit? Again, most would agree, yes.

Can we reasonably assume that things within the spiritual world can see other things within the spiritual world? I'll go with yes on this one as well.

Ok, now let's look at scripture for a second.

Joh 8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Now, this verse shows that Jesus is that which gives us the light of life, so that we don't walk in darkness.

So is this "light of life" discernible with the human eye? I believe it is something spiritually discerned, so I would have to say, no.

Alright, now a couple more questions.

Are angels spiritual beings? I'd have to say, yes.

Was Satan an angel at some point and time? He sure was, but he was cast out of heaven.

Ok, so now we can assume that Spiritual beings can discern things in the spiritual world and that Satan is one of said beings. Now, those who don't have the light of life, walk in darkness. So, I would assume that Satan could discern which were on his side by the shroud of darkness about them and God doesn't play favorites with his enemies.

(Mat 12:30)  He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Food for thought~

Roman Catholic Church / Re: The Pope on Islam
« on: August 24, 2009, 04:21:04 PM »
Here's where I think alot of this comes from.

From the Catechism:

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."[330]


I think we have a problem here. ???

Jesus Christ - God/YHWH manifest - His Sonship and Divinity / Re: Jesus = God
« on: August 15, 2009, 09:42:23 AM »
Hbr 1:1 KJV - God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hbr 1:2 KJV - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Hbr 1:3 KJV - Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hbr 1:4 KJV - Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Hbr 1:5 KJV - For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

Hbr 1:6 KJV - And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

So here, as far as I can see, we are being told that Jesus was exalted above the other angels and that they should worship him, but if Jesus = God, why would he speak of himself in the third person.

I'm not saying that Jesus was just some random person though, he is definitely a part of God from what I've gathered and he is definitely not of this world as per:

Jhn 8:23      And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

So Jesus himself is a heavenly entity.

Phl 2:5 KJV - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Phl 2:6 KJV - Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Phl 2:7 KJV - But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

So, Jesus was the exact representation of God in flesh, but was separate from him. Though he still had all the power and authority of God as we know from:

Mat 28:18      And Jesus came, and spoke to them, saying, All power is given to me in heaven and upon earth.

but the power was given to him, by God, but why would God have to give himself power? So, Jesus is exactly what God would be in the flesh, but there still seems to be a slight distinction.

Jesus Christ - God/YHWH manifest - His Sonship and Divinity / Re: Jesus = God

(disappeared, then restored from database on 8-18-16)

Here's one stumbling block we might find though.

John 1:18 — No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

We know for a fact though, that some people have seen Jesus and if Jesus = God then we have a small problem.

Jhn 8:23 — And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

I believe this also points to the fact that Jesus was far more than just some man and when pieced with other pieces of evidence helps support the conclusion that Jesus = God.

Judeo-Christian - General / Something I found that seemed interesting...
« on: August 07, 2009, 07:10:14 PM »
In Deuteronomy one can read:

Deu 13:4     Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

and you can also find many references within Leviticus where it says to fear god in the KJV Bible.

However, In 1John it seems to say we should denounce that fear:

1Jo 4:18       There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

I haven't spent a lot time dwelling on this, but I was curious as to what some others may think about it.

And also hello to everyone, I'm new around here. ;D
