I like girls. I just don't like sex.

Which I could not agree with more. Sex is a horrible act we have to endure because God demands we make children. I am proud to say that I have had sex less times than we have children. (We had twins once or twice.)

Re: An Introduction

No, that's silly. It is referring to Jesus rising to heaven. Might not be the best terminology, but it works. Honestly it's just a word I like. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

We are Bible-believing Christians, which means we take everything seriously because the world is going to Hell and it's up to us to try and stop it, even though Jesus has already stated that few will be saved (Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23). We try because it's the only way Jesus will be happy. And all we can do is live each moment for Him. Hence, our reaction.

So it's no wonder you've lived so long, brother. May God give you many more years.

I meant nothing malicious. It seems to me that the apotheosis of Jesus is a wonderful thing. The word has no connection with scripture, but it simply means a man rising into godhood. Isn't that what Jesus did?

No. Jesus = God.

Friend, you already stated you have no interest in 'rising into anything' though most of you EMO's want to get a rise out of good, Godly people.

Jesus most certainly did not 'rise into Godhood'. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit anre and always have been, one and the same.

Why won't you snap out of it and get right with the Bible.

I agree with Brother Hutchins.

John 1:1 states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Then, in John 1:14 we read: "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us . . ."

Moreover, John didn't throw around fancy terms like, "apotheosis".

You need to pull your head out of your nind end and stick your nose in your Bible.

That'll learn ya.
