Jesus prayed to God. Is that statement a problem for you?
You just have to understand that Jesus was praying to the Father.....no wait.....Jesus was the Father but he wanted the disciples to.......hold on.....Jesus was a manifestation and then there was this other manifestation that was in.......uuuhhhhh.....but there aren't persons and Jesus wasn't a person....wait, I mean, yes he was, but the Father isn't a person, but Jesus is.....what I mean is, the Father IS a person, has to be, but Jesus wasn't the same kind of person but the Father was a spirit and Jesus was praying to the Father that was in him 'cause the Father wasn't actually in heaven at the time......not wait, Jesus said to say "Our Father which art in heaven....."
Here's what I have learned about young Elder Cox...
1. He doesn't know his Bible, can't debate honestly and hasn't learned to respect his elders..
2. He comes here to stir it up and draw attention to himself, just so he can stand on his soapbox over at www.apostolicpreachers.com and beat his chest about how apostate everyone here is.
3. He has accused many good people falsely, without even attempting honest dialogue.

And YET people like you, claiming to be Apostolics while making sure to tell everyone else that does not believe just like you that they are not...keep coming here. Now why is that?
If you actually get people to start answering this question, I'm gonna need some popcorn....
The issue isn't so much what I believed, but my assurance that it was true.
Yes, I have changed my views but perhaps I am less dogmatic about them this time around.
The only thing I know for sure is that the Redskins losing yesterday was one of the best things I have seen this week.
whoops, I missed that, not having a TV and all. MrNB... You didn't mention TV ir Hollywierd once in your thread starting post, I am truly disappointed.
About as much as the flippant remark about how little 19 yr olds know...
It is true, though, isn't it? 19 year olds are pretty green behind the ears....
Mr. Cox, you need to forget what you've been told and just get to know the PEOPLE who post on this forum. Many are conservative--probably more conservative than you--and you would be surprised to know which ones they are. Almost ALL are God-loving Christians, who love the Word and serve Him to the best of their knowledge and ability. THAT should be respected, even when we don't agree on the details.
My father was a conservative Apostolic, and he discussed, debated and argued with his minister friends more times than I could ever count--and they were still friends at the end of the day. Discussion doesn't always reveal a person's viewpoint, either--I've played the devil's advocate a few times just to make a point or to push the parameters a bit.
Usually people fear discussion when they're afraid they might be wrong.

Here's what I have learned about young Elder Cox...
1. He doesn't know his Bible, can't debate honestly and hasn't learned to respect his elders.. ROFL!
2. He comes here to stir it up and draw attention to himself, just so he can stand on his soapbox over at www.apostolicpreachers.com and beat his chest about how apostate everyone here is.
3. He has accused many good people falsely, without even attempting honest dialogue.
Did you not read the thread where me, alfar, and randy should make our case? I posted a long post with scriptural support that was of course overlooked.
Because I work at a bank, and I get bored on our slow days and have nothing better to do!
God has convicted me of playing on the internet while at work unless I'm on my break even if I'm bored to death. It doesn't honor him in the sight of unbelievers and it isn't honest.
