Bible Note: Greetings HamsteRulz! You seem to be a sincere young man who desires that God's truth be revealed to you thru His WORD. No one here wants to attack you, your beliefs, or your church. No one cares a bit about “winning” any kind of debate. However, we would all like you to PLEASE accept what the Holy Spirit reveals to you thru His WORD, not our words. The Pharisees asked Jesus the same question you are asking. PLEASE, observe and accept Jesus’s answer without any pre-conceived notions that your church or anyone else may have told you. Joh 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Joh 8:57 Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Won't you reconsider your previous stand? Not based on what I, Tim, Kalos, Searcher, Ed, Joe, RevC, Hank, Makarios, or anyone else said, but based on what JESUS alone said? Jesus is Lord! retxar (Gen 1:2, Gen 1:26, Joh 1:1-2, Joh_1:14, etc., etc.) |
