Yes, Seed often means offspring
Gal 3:16 And to Abraham and to his Seed the promises were spoken. It does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, "And to your Seed," which is Christ.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?

Yes, indeed that does make all the difference. How is your view of foreknowledge distinct from Calvnism and Armenianism?

Would you REALLY want me to start on all the strage stuff taught in your Apostolic circles in the early years??? Is it now fair to paint all of you with that brush????

SEED does not NOT NOT literally mean sperm it often means OFFSPRING.
BTW as for being pushy...you are noticably dodging many valid points and refutations of your arguments not to mention the ones that point out they are logically falicious.....

Brother Epley is NOT a liar! Furthermore, according to St. Mark, this is something that affected his own family. Why would he make that up? These are two posters who have been associated with this forum (including its predecessors) for years. As far as I am concerned, it is you who has to prove their claims as being false, not the other way around. Credibility means something on these forums.

Do you need the links to the countless other "much more populated" Christian forums who right now are making fun of every one of you guys.. for your heresies??????
You see brother... if your not careful you fail to understand that your small world is a microcosm in a larger world.... your opinion is not near as important to the world as it is to you... so to tell me that YOU have the only way to look at scripture speaks of your own need for understanding,,, does it not?

Did I read something about black pots and kettles earlier? Are you a Brahhamite? Are you following faithfully the words that "someone" said?

Sorry Brother, but nothing beats the doctrine that Eve got it on with a reptile and that most of the human race has satan's actual blood running in their viens
