    citing from John 1

    The Word Became Flesh 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
    3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a]it.


    explanation: the Word is Jesus; Jesus was with God in the beginning and he WAS God. Through him (Jesus) all things were made.

    the Word = Jesus
    how? here describes Jesus

    John 1:10-14
    10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of Godâ 13children born not of natural descent,[c]nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

    14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.


    14: The Word became HUMAN and dwelled or lived among humans, us.

    John (Johannes) 17:1-5
    Jesus said these things. Then, raising his eyes in prayer, he said:
    Father, it's time.
    Display the bright splendor of your Son
    So the Son in turn may show your bright splendor.
    You put him in charge of everything human
    So he might give real and eternal life to all in his charge.
    And this is the real and eternal life:
    That they know you,
    The one and only true God,
    And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
    I glorified you on earth
    By completing down to the last detail
    What you assigned me to do.
    And now, Father, glorify me with your very own splendor,
    The very splendor I had in your presence
    Before there was a world.

    ^ This is where Awan got the verse from. I used "The Message" translation so it's easier for you to read.

    Background: God the Father sends Jesus (the Son) to earth to be in charge of every human being, so that He (God the Father) will save all he's in charge of (believers).

    I believe there is only one God. The same God who made the universe came down to earth to save us. In three days he rose up as the Holy Spirit.

    In the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy" it says:

    Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty, God in Three Persons Blessed Trinity

    It would be nice if all you had to do was believe in him. Which I really don't think that's the case. Then everyone would be getting into heaven.

    But do all people believe in Him? Did all the people who've heard the Word believe? No.

     

    Christians don't do good deeds to get to heaven, we do them because we love him. Although we sin everyday, is because we are humans. But because we have Christ in us we are saved.

     

    Salvation is not through good works.

     

    Salvation is through Faith.

     

    It is nice that all we have to do is believe him. Because Christ has done it all.

     

    A Christian life can only be lived by Christ. It is only because of Christ living inside us that we are saved. We can never be like Christ because we're humans. We are to be like-Christ.

    If we are sons of God and so Is Jesus wouldn't that make him our brother?

    Facts:1. We are only humans
    2. All humans are sinful (not one is sinless)
    3. Jesus is sinless therefore he goes to heaven


    Now, the reason why Jesus died for us is to save us, am I right? Now because we can't save ourselves he died for our sins. Second, he said that whoever believes in him then we are saved.

    In Galatians 2:20 St. Paul wrote:
    I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.


    We are God's children because Jesus lives in us. God the Father sees the Son's purity in us and not the sins we commit.

    lol... okay, in the Bible you will find that Jesus was already with God from the beginning (John 1)

    I know it's confusing, it was confusing to me at first.

    If you kindly read just this one short chapter it's going to shed some light: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?searc&version=MSG
    This translation should be easy to read. It's nothing like "thy, thee or thine" it's modern version.

    My answer is all in there. I

    read this: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    These people aren't as idiotic as you think. The article above simply proves that the people of those times ALREADY knew about the stars. This book was dated thousands of years ago. This is the excerpt I'm talking about:

    Job 38 deals with the wonders of His creation. In Job 38:31, 32 we read:
    Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades
    or loose the bands of Orion?
    Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

    ORION

    "Canst thou . . . loose the bands of Orion?" Garrett P. Serviss, the noted astronomer, wrote about the bands of Orion in his book CURIOSITIES OF THE SKY.

    At the present time this band consists of an almost perfect straight line. In the course of time, however, the two right-hand stars, Mintaka and Alnilam, will approach each other and form a naked-eye double; but the third, Alnitak, will drift away eastward so that the band will no longer exist.

    Thus, these stars that we see forming one of the bands of Orion are like three ships out on the high seas that happen to be in line at the present moment, but in the future will be separated by thousands of miles of ocean. In fact, all these stars that at the present time constitute the constellation of Orion are bound for different ports, and all are journeying to different corners of the universe, so that the bands are being dissolved.

    THE PLEIADES

    "Canst thou bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades . . . ?" Notice the amazing astronomical contrast with the Pleiades. The seven stars of the Pleiades are in reality a grouping of 250 suns. Photographs now reveal that 250 blazing suns in this group are all traveling together in one common direction.

    From Lick Observatory came this statement of Dr. Robert J. Trumpler:

    The Pleiades stars may thus be compared to a swarm of birds, flying together to a distant goal. This leaves no doubt that the Pleiades are not a temporary or accidental agglomeration of stars, but a system in which the stars are bound together by a close kinship.

    INCREDIBLE! God's laws of cosmology are loosing or dissolving the constellation Orion. Sometime in the far distant future, Orion will be no more. Conversely, wonder of wondersâevery last one of the 250 blazing suns in the Pleiades are ordained of God to orbit together in their symmetrical beauty throughout eternity.

    ARCTURUS

    "Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" Garrett P. Serviss wrote:

    Arcturus, one of the greatest suns in the universe, is a runaway whose speed of flight is 257 miles per second. Arcturus, we have every reason to believe, possesses thousands of times the mass of our sun. Think of it! Our sun is traveling only 12 ½ miles a second, but Arcturus is traveling 257 miles a second. Think then of the prodigious momentum this motion implies.

    It could only be stopped by collision head on with a body of enormous mass. Barring such accidents, it must, as far as we can see, keep on until it has traversed our stellar system, whence it may escape and pass out into space beyond to join perhaps one of those other island universesâŚ

    The wonders of God's universe never cease to amaze us. Arcturus and his sons are individual runaway suns that seem to be out of orbit in our galaxy. Traveling at such incredible speeds, why don't they crash with other suns or planets? Where are they headed? Only God knows. Indeed they are not runaways. They will not crash. Why? God is guiding them.

    When Mr. Burckhalter of Chabot Observatory had his attention called to this text in the book of Job, he studied it in the light of modern discovery and made a statement that has attracted worldwide attention:

    The study of the Book of Job and its comparison with the latest scientific discoveries has brought me to the matured conviction that the Bible is an inspired book and was written by the One who made the stars.


    Somehow, this person learned about the stars thousands of years before they were discovered. Amazing? Miracle? I believe so.

    Well I have 3 years of experience in FTP using just Windows Explorer but lately I've just heard of these FTP softwares like smartFTP, cuteFTP and fileZilla. I haven't used any of these but to me I think Windows Explorer is fine with me because it's just like managing files in local folders. So I would like to know what the advantages are if I was to use any of these FTP softwares.

    I read in w3schools.com that you can code in Javascript rather than VBscript in making ASP pages. All you have to do is to put the following line at the top of the page: <%@ language="Javascript" %>I don't like VBScript because it's just too confusing and I know a lot about Jscript. Coding in ASP with JS would be really cool and helpful so is it really possible? Can anyone help me with this?What I mean is that I want to use these kind of syntax: "document.write" instead of "response.write" and "function hello(){}" instead of "private sub hello() end sub"Is it possible?
