    to aguest;

    This is weird…I wonder once I mentioned the bible is infallible you broke loose. I understand your doubts towards it. I was in that horse too. First, I had to overcome my ego (seeing the bible not a inspire word of GOD). When I did, then and only then I had an open mind…I asked you to meet my conditions not because I want to be a “Pharisee” or want to put a burden in you, not at all…I have dealt with people like you. Sadly my own brother is like that. We argue and debate but I always tell him. Let sit down and look at each refusal, do a research at the same time with the same materials. Then we both coclude and share, then we can talk about our conclusion. But he refuse…I personally used to believe there is a GOD, then I stop believing, then I started looking for a reason to why GOD doesn’t exist. What happened? The evidence is overwhelming to deny GOD existence. It would take a lot of faith to deny the existence of a GOD, Jesus. I tell you all this because it seems you have misunderstood me. Again if you don’t believe the word of GOD or the written word of GOD, or the bible, or scriptures (I don’t care how you refer to it) to be inspire from the LORD himself please don’t refer me to it. Why? I would think otherwise. Now, if you believe some parts to be inspire, ok, that’s a baby step. We can build on that step…

    I told you before. I am willing to share or discuss with you this issue but in the mean time when we discuss your preexistence please don’t refer me to scriptures. Why? I know scriptures don’t teach that. You can point me at some scriptures (which you did) but that doesn’t make it truth. There are other truths in scriptures that will consume your preexistence theory. That’s why I asked you to share it with me without the bible. Of course, I will refuse your preexistence not using the bible but with something else. If you want me to disprove your theory with the bible I will gladly do it and of course you don’t have to agree with me.

    I do put my faith in what the bible said towards JAH, us, my christian walk, hell, heaven, sin, etc. The bible says a lot. I don’t think no one can explain it better without contradictions. Only GOD can put together such a book and when we read it we feel a sense of awesomeness, at least I did and still feel that way. Tell me what other book speaks or inform us about GOD the same way as the bible does? I don’t know any. To clarify your confusion. I can only have a personal relationship with Jesus with him not with the bible or thru the bible. The bible points at Him and I found HIM (he found me first). But that fact doesn’t make me to refuse the bible. I read and believe the OT just as Jesus did. I read and believe the NT because Jesus disciples were the one who wrote them (not you or me) and were his own personal disciples. Peter believes in the writing of Paul as to be inspire. Not me or you but Peter, the show off disciple that became a powerful humble apostle. …you mite don’t believe to be inspired because was translated with errors. I do agree with you in that there is errors in the translation however, it would be stupid for me to throw out the bible because of bad translations. I don’t put my faith in the translations but in the HS that will teach me and guide between those bad translation to see the light of truth. Then, I can said what the psalmist said, “the word of GOD Is like a lamp unto my feet”....one o two post

    You seem to know my heart? You seem to know that I don’t belong to Christ? It is you the one that don’t belong to Christ…I can point at your own errors regarding Jesus and the HS. You think they are the same person? You are misreading scriptures and calling Jesus a liar. How they can be the same person when Jesus tell his disciples “another” is coming referring to the HS. Then you have audacity to preach “my lord told me”…yeahh you think I am goint to believe your gospel? Not a bit. And everybody in here knows that you are totally wrong in thinking Jesus and the HS is the same person.

    You think your gospel are pearls? What is your gospel? This is your gospel

    1) jesus is a god

    2) jesus and the HS are the same person

    3) I will be a god

    4) I am a god incarcerated in a sinful body

    5) I preexisted before my earthly existence

    6) Jesus die for “little gods” like me and humans

    7) We don’t need the whole bible but some parts, not all are inspire

    8) There is only two in the Godhead, Father and Jesus

    9) Jesus is not the GOD incarnated but a god incarnated

    10) Satan is a god

    11) Spirits/ bad angels will be destroy

    12) Jesus body was re-created

    13) Jesus became a god at his birth

    14) The father produced a god, jesus

    15) Jesus, a god came forth the father

    16) My lord told me these things

    I tried as well as other to point and correct at some of your errors but you refuse to hear and proclaim to have a better revelation to everything because everything came directly from the lords mouth and everybody, including me all wrong. Tell me how can you correct someone with that attitude?

    My opinion of all of this is;

    Galatians 1

    6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

    You don’t have to reveal to me your preexistence theory. I will guarantee you is a peter pan story or the princess and the frog, or the beauty and the beast, or Cinderella, or the wizard of oz, in other words, another good story that will sell in a book or a movie.

    Let everybody in here be witness of your gospel, let them tell you, and please listen for once, you are wrong or at least give yourself the benefit of the doubt...in the mean time let me be....

    Javig, if what you have written above is an accurate reflection of aguest's religious beliefs, you have outed him/her as a closet Mormon, whether he/she knows it or not.

    what Mormons believe, at least not in-depth (and may you have peace!), but I have received nothing from a Nephi. Genesis 6:4

    Such beings are/were enemies of God, Christ, and earthling man, being as they were the angels that forsook their PROPER dwelling place... the spirit realm… and "sinned" by taking wives from among the daughters of earthling man during Noah's day. Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:4 True, some may have repented, when my Lord went and preached to them, but not a one has ever appeared to me. 1 Peter 3:19, 20

    I am not a Mormon, however, or a “Latter Day Saint.” I am neither Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Apostolic, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Unitarian, Episcopalian, Anglican, Reformed, Orthodox, Congregationalist, Amish, Jehovah Witness, Christian Scientist, or any other denomination you can come up with. I am simply a member of the Body of Christ, of the Congregation of the Firstborn, which members are enrolled in heaven and not in some ledgers of some earthly religious institution, organization, synod, or council.

    If there are similarities between what Mormons believe and what I have shared here, so be it. I cannot believe it to be true, however, as I cannot see (1) my Lord having ANYTHING to do with the great temples and halls they build and worship in, and (2) the polygamy practices of some (in light of my Lord’s words recorded at Matthew 19:4-6, as to TWO becoming ONE flesh… not four or five fleshes becoming one flesh).

    But, if for some reason some of what I believe comports with some of what Mormons believe… I take no issue with that. As I have stated before, ALL religions contain SOME truth. Because they are set up to “attract” the children of Light… whose primary existence in THIS world… is spent in search OF… the Truth. John 14:6

    I bid you peace.

    To aguest: My sincere apologies for having made a false accusation against you, specifically, labeling you a Mormon when you are not. I am sorry.

    May you have peace…

    I have taken the matter to my Lord and his word to me is that because if you have been unwilling to grasp what I have shared with you thus far… particularly in light of the fact that I HAVE shown you where it is “written”… in YOUR “god,” the Bible… I am no longer under any obligation to share any other things with you. The choice is mine, however, but no obligation exists.

    So, I have decided that IF we discuss the matter (i.e., my pre-existence, although I am not sure that what you’re referring to is what I am referring to) NEITHER of us may use the Bible. I will not use it to state my position… and YOU will not use it to refute my position… or state yours. In addition, NEITHER of us will refer to the “Biblical” writings of any other; no theologian, scholar, historian, preacher, teacher, or ANY others who have had anything to say IN, or ABOUT, the Bible, including the Bible writers. NEITHER of us will refer to what a Bible writer may have said or written under ANY circumstance.

    There are other truths in scriptures that will consume your preexistence theory.

    Ummmm…no. If I can’t use the Bible, I don't believe it fair and equitable for YOU to use it...

    That’s why I asked you to share it with me without the bible.

    Okay. And if you want a response to your question… I must ask the very same of you when making YOUR response.

    Of course, I will refuse your preexistence not using the bible but with something else.

    Ahhh, yes, Thomas: you WILL refuse. It’s your choice, of course. But in doing so, you will do what the WTBTS and all other religions do: use the 10-12 verses that you know to try and push, support, and justify your belief and teachings. But, okay… perhaps we’ll see what you’ve got.

    If you want me to disprove your theory with the bible I will gladly do it and of course you don’t have to agree with me.

    Ummmmm… nooooooo… I don’t think the Bible is necessary at all. However, YOU need to use it, by all means, please… do so. Only, be forewarned, that if YOU use it… I will, too. Because I will use it to show YOU… where YOU are misusing… misunderstanding… mistransliterating… misinterpreting… it… AND so using it to MISlead.

    I don’t put my faith in the translations but in the HS that will teach me and guide between those bad translation to see the light of truth.

    Really. And just what IS that “light of truth?”

    Then, I can said what the psalmist said, “the word of GOD Is like a lamp unto my feet”....

    Dear Javig, you totally don’t even get what the Psalmist meant… and it is more than evident here. IF you can answer the previous question, however, you might COME to know. (Wait, here, let me help you: John 1:4, 5, 8, 9; 8:12; 9:39; 12:46, because perhaps by reading THESE… you WILL hear… if not SEE… and get the SENSE of it. Which is MUCH more important to me… that my being “right”).

    You seem to know my heart? You seem to know that I don’t belong to Christ?

    Your heart, no. Not exactly, for our flesh currently “hides” it. But, that you don’t belong to Christ, yes. Absolutely. I know you by your “fruits” – or rather, the lack thereof. Matthew 7:16

    You think they are the same person?

    Yes, indeed. Because they are the same person.

    How they can be the same person when Jesus tell his disciples “another” is coming referring to the HS.

    Well, let’s look at that, shall we? Because I have learned not to take ANYTHING “written” at “face” value. I will explain it to YOU… the way my LORD… explained it to ME:

    The Greek word here for “another” (taken from John 14:16) is “allos” which conforms to Strong’s G243 and means “another,” “other,” “one,” or “some.” So, perhaps someone decided to use “another,” as opposed to, say, “one”? Not quite. The TRUTH is that there is actually another underlying Greek word that is very often confused with “allos.” That word is “heteros,” represented by Strong’s G2087.

    While G243 (as compared with G2087) indicates numerical distinction as opposed to a qualitative difference, G243 adds ('one besides') where G2087 distinguishes ('one of two'). G243 generally denotes differentiation between more than one individual (i.e., “in addition to”); however, G2087 involves not only differentiation between numbers, but qualitative difference, as well (i.e., the difference of nature or form… of kind):

    1) the other, another, other

    a) to number

    1) to number as opposed to some former person or thing

    2) the other of two

    b) to quality

    1) another: i.e. one not of the same nature, form, class, kind, different

    The word of my Lord to ME is that “false pen” of the scribe who copied John’s account chose the WRONG term for “another.” He/she chose “allos”… rather than “heteros.” Had he put “heteros”… the CORRECT term for “another,” then you would have been able to READ… in your Bible… that when John wrote “And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever ,” he meant not another spirit altogether, but the Spirit in a DIFFERENT FORM. One that has been GLORIFIED and become INcorruptible. The Spirit of Christ, the TRUTH (and thus, the Spirit OF THE TRUTH – John 14:6)… which Christ himself attested to when HE said:

    “Look! Iam with you always… “ Matthew 28:20

    1) jesus is a god -

    2) jesus and the HS are the same person – 2 Corinthians 3:17; 1 John 2:1, 2

    3) I will be a god (Ummmm… no, I do not automatically include you in this truth; however, yes, there are those who fit this description) – Psalm 82:6; John 10:34

    4) I am a god incarcerated in a sinful body (Please see above. And please note, again, that I do not include you, yet. YOU are assuming that I include you in the Body of Christ – I do not make that assumption.)

    5) I preexisted before my earthly existence (Please see above – and, again, I do not say that this applies to you. Yet.) – Romans 8:29, 30; 1 Corinthians 2:6-10; Ephesians 1:4, 5

    6) Jesus die for “little gods” like me and humans - Psalm 82:6; John 10:34

    7) We don’t need the whole bible but some parts, not all are inspire (No, I have shared with YOU… what my Lord has shared with ME: that we don’t need ANY of it) – John 5:39, 40

    8) There is only two in the Godhead, Father and Jesus - John 1:1

    9) Jesus is not the GOD incarnated but a god incarnated - Matthew 17:5; John 14:28

    10) Satan is a god - 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 John 5:19

    11) Spirits/ bad angels will be destroy - 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 20:9; 2 Peter 3:7

    12) Jesus body was re-created - John 20:14; 1 Corinthians 15:35, 37, 38, 44, 46, 47

    13) Jesus became a god at his birth (see below)

    14) The father produced a god, jesus - Proverbs 8:22; Colossians 1:15

    15) Jesus, a god came forth the father - John 8:42; 13:3

    16) My lord told me these things – (MY Lord told ME these things, yes. What YOUR “lord” is telling YOU… is false.) - John 10:3-5, 27; Matthew 10:27; Revelation 3:20

    You don’t have to reveal to me your preexistence theory.

    You are correct: I don’t HAVE to. And it remains to be seen if I will…

    ...in the mean time let me be....

    Let me get this straight: I am BOTHERING you? Well, then, I SINCERELY apologize! I am only responding… because YOU asked me to! You DO recall, do you not, that I said we should just agree to disagree… and YOU responded that you wanted to continue? I mean, it is on record, dear Javig, somewhere above.

    BUT… if I AM bothering you, I SINCERELY apologize. Please know that henceforth I will not address you at ALL, if that is what you truly wish. But, YOU must make up YOUR mind, as my time is growing very short.

    In the meantime, my peace remains.

    I lieve I have stated the very same thing in several posts, dear PSacto (and the greatest of peace to you!), but apparently dear Javig is not at the point, yet, and that's fine. Because I am the servant here, I will not just drop him off. So long as he has questions and is willing to state them calmly and kindly, I will respond. I do not have to respond, true, but I don't mind "mak[ing] a defense before ANYONE who DEMANDS of me a reason for my hope," as dear Javig is doing here. And I will ALWAYS try... with all sincerity... to do so with a mild temper and deep respect. 1 Peter 3:15

    I will not be able to respond after a couple/few days anyway, so if you could find it in your heart to bear with us, it should all soon be over anyway. As I stated to dear Javig in my last post, however, my time is growing short. If, however, you feel you need to move on, please, by all means... do so. I certainly will not be offended (truth is, I didn't realize anyone was still following this matter, other than dear MyElaine and EverAStudent!).

    Again, I bid you peace!

    YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
