FytRobert Jewish people trace the origin of their race as Abraham/Isaac. In Gen 17, God vowed to make great nations from Abraham and to be their God, but the covenant (to be their God) was through Isaac (Gen 17:19 and 21). Muslims trace the origin of their race (the Arabic people) back to Abraham/Ishmeal. Also, in Gen 17, God vowed to make a great nation from Abraham, but through Ishmeal (Gen 17:19) and the story is further told in Gen 21:12-21. Ishmeal's mother was an Egyptian slave and as told in Gen 21:20-21 - God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert bowman, with his home in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt. Muslims consider this the beginning of the Arabic race. Paran was a desert tract forming the northeastern division of the peninsula of Sinai, lying between the 'Arabah' (Arabia) on the east and the wilderness of Shur on the west In Gen 17:24-25, Abraham and Ishmeal were both circumcised, together when Ishmeal was 13 years old. I think it is safe to assume that because of Abrahams loyalty to God, Abraham raised Ishmeal to share in the same beliefs and praise of God as he, Abraham. Brian |

83 | What does a godfather do? | Bible general Archive 1 | Brian.g | 71330 | ||
Makarios A godfather in Baptism and a sponsor in Confirmation share similiar roles in this life-long relationship of developing and nurturing, in Christ. An example of this role is seen in 2 Timothy in the nurturing relationship Paul had with Timothy. By the time this letter was written, Timothy had spent many years under the guidance of Paul. Brian |

87 | is jesus god? | John 1:1 | Brian.g | 56661 | ||
We have always tried to use our own thoughts and words to define the relationship between God and Jesus. I believe in this case, we are more successful if we allow God and Jesus to define the relationship. 1 John 5:9 If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son. Isaiah 43:11 It is I, I the LORD; there is no savior but me. Matthew 17:5 … "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." John 10:30 The Father and I are one One of the first things God taught us, is that He is the only God, and there is no other god but Him: Genesis 17: 7 I will maintain my covenant with you and your descendants after you throughout the ages as an everlasting pact, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you Deut 5:7 You shall not have other gods besides me. Isaiah 43:10-13 10 You are my witnesses, says the LORD, my servants whom I have chosen To know and believe in me and understand that it is I. Before me no god was formed, and after me there shall be none. 11 It is I, I the LORD; there is no savior but me. 12 It is I who foretold, I who saved; I made it known, not any strange god among you; You are my witnesses, says the LORD. I am God, 13 yes, from eternity I am He; There is none who can deliver from my hand: who can countermand what I do? It is believed by the JW that God gave the earth to Jesus to reign for 1,000 years. If Jesus and God were not one, then this thought is in violation of God's everlasting covenant with man, as shown in Isaiah 43:10-13, as well as the first commandment. |

88 | Overcoming Addiction thru scripture | 1 John 5:4 | Brian.g | 56394 | ||
Sufficient Grace First, open up the scope of your discussion to 1 John 5:3-5, in order to obtain a fuller meaning. This is in reference to John 16:33, when Jesus stated: I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world." Jesus conquered the world by His faith in God, which enabled Him to reject sin. In rejecting sin, Jesus fully lived in accordance with the ten commandments. An abuser of any substance is violating the 5th commandment, by injuring their health and potentially bringing death to themselves. By achieving a close relationship with Jesus we are able to overcome the world (conquering the world), we receive the strength to reject sin. Through a relationship with Jesus, a user of drugs can achieve the inner strength to fight and win the battle with drugs - thus rejecting sin. And, by doing so, conquering the world - through faith in God. |

By the way, I am not grieving for my Church. It's not perfect, and it never will be. This is not the first time the Catholic Church has had any issues and it won't be the last. Remember on the night in which Jesus ordained the 12 Apostles into the priesthood - Judas betrayed Him and Peter denied Him three times. Our current issues are a piece of cake compared to that first day. Brian |

Joe I think shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, the world sees homosexuality for what it really is. I realize that there are plenty of Protestant denominations which are pro-gay, but now you know how the world really feels about it. All I'm saying is that we (all people) should learn from this. Why does everything have to be an argument with you, Joe. Brian |

While we are all deeply saddened and disturbed by the acts of immorality performed over the past 25 years by 250 of our 14,000 priests, we must also recognize this more so as a mirror reflecting the image of today’s society. Our society has grown comfortable and accepting of these attacks against the dignity of mankind. The Supreme Court proclaimed the constitutional right to create and freely distribute photograph-quality images of small children performing sexual acts. Through a children’s television station, gay parenting and homosexual marriages are being taught as natural and normal to a target group of 8-13 year old children. Our libraries have decided that an adults right to view Internet pornography over the libraries computers are more important than protecting our children from web sites which promote and glorify every form of sin and perversion possible and some, even beyond normal human imagination. In today’s world, these acts blend into the fabric of our everyday life so invisibly, that most are no longer noticed. And worse yet, the effect that they have upon our children (our future leaders) is being overlooked. But, when shown against the backdrop of the Catholic Church, we see this immorality for what it truly is and the world has justifiably cried out in anger, disgust and horror. Parents are the moral role models and the protectors of our children. Society cannot have morally strong adults (including religious leaders) if they are not given proper guidance from childhood on. We, the parents of today, will determine the moral fabric of this country for tomorrow and each day after. If we, the parents of today, abdicate our responsibility as the moral leaders of our children by not teaching our children to reject sin, then we must not be critical when our future leaders, also lack moral standards. Jesus taught us how. Brian |

Tim As an example, we see numerous interpretations of Scripture here in this forum. What authority do Protestants use to insure a consistent and universal interpretation of Scripture, so that people will know they are teaching it properly. Is there one single authority for all denominations. Or does each denomination have it's own authority and then, do all denominational authorities, agree 100 percent with each other. If they don't agree - then which is right and which is wrong and by what authority is that decision being made. Brian |

OK Joe, Let's narrow the field from 30,000 down to two. Calvinist and Arminian Oh, by the way, non-salvific issues - (ie: Sacrements) - I almost forgot. Some Protestant denominations say zero, some say two... And, aren't there Protestants that think sacrements are important - maybe not seven, but some? So, on both points: Which Protestant denomination is right - and which is wrong. Why and by what authority Brian |

95 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | Brian.g | 48444 | ||
Joe I don't know the answer to your question. Now, which one of the 30,000 Protestant human leaders and teaching authorities is correct. And, how do you explain the 29,999 wrong ones. And, don't tell me that all 30,000 groups are basicly one, because we all realize that one Protestant denomination will not have any problem testifying to another Protestant (of a different denomination) that their denomination is the truer way to Christ.

Tim Pleasure hearing from you. The minor points of theological emphasis indicates the presence of two items: A pastoral leader and a teaching authority. Which, in turn, means there are 3,000-30,000 Protestant human leaders and 3,000-30,000 Protestant teaching authorities. So, again, I will ask which one Protestant teaching authority and pastor leader is the correct one to follow. And, how do you explain the remaining wrong ones. Brian |

Joe A passing thought, not meant to be funny. Somewhere within these posts of the past few days, I saw a statement that there are 3,000 or 30,000 Protestant denominations. Which indicates 3,000-30,000 different interpretations of the Gospel. I'm not an expert, but 3,000-30,000 different denominations in 500 years is probably not that far off the mark. Which is right - one singular or all 3,000-30,000. And by what authority do you make that decision. And, what do you say to the Protestant denominations, that are wrong. Brian |
