Note: This, is where the distractors will come on line, and raise some alternate discussion ... So then, Paidion ..."You're up!" ... your turn, come on in and give it your best distractive shot... I know your game, and will always call it for what it really is ... Batter up!... good fellow] http://...

(Paidion) I also don't believe that you "died on the stake with Christ." You weren't around when He died on the stake, and there's nothing in the Scriptures that affirms such a strange idea. (robin) ..."strange idea" ... You flabbergast me, truly! Colossians is one of my favorite epistles, I've jus...

(robin) The beast will not be seen as a "beast" ...Obviously, it will be perceived as a blessing, hence, the "instead" of Christ ... And what's more logical a thing, than something religiously "acceptable" ... a religious/political monstrosity, to which paeons of fervent praise, by the whole of huma...

Hey Homer, I meant no ill-will suggesting Robin has a JW background, or may have been exposed to it. Heck, some of my best friends are.... :lol: Either way, it's a translation that is nearly unique to JWs and jumped out at me, for obvious reasons. Regards, Brenden. (robin) Good morning Brenden ... ...

I'm a citizen of heaven, I'm saved in Christ, I died on the stake with Christ, and have been raised with Him, I have, within me, now, God's very righteousness, in God's sight I'm everything He sees in Christ, I'm sanctified ...
