    Why is God So Mean?

    Denying Christ is different from knowing doctrine. People will be saved without reading the Bible or even entering church. People who have heard of Christ and believe He is God and spend there lives practicing His love will be saved. It doesn't take an armchair theologian to be saved. There...

    Why is God So Mean?

    Doctrinal errors are not going to damn a person; focusing more on the mechanics and externals of doctrine rather than on a heart change is going to damn people, whether they are dead right or dead wrong. People who cling to the Bible and doctrine like a transitional object / idol / 'blankie"...

    Jews

    The term Jew is meaningless in relationship to God. In fact it has become synonymous with the old covenant - external relationship Christianity represents the new covenant which is internal. The way to the internal Kingdom is narrow. Love is the rule of the Spirit in this Kingdom.

    Palestinian position on peace with Israel

    The Kingdom of God is no longer external. The physical land of Israel has been abandoned. The Kingdom is now ruled by the Spirit internally - we are His temple,not some external, used-up land. All who accept Jesus are ruled by the Spirit.... Jerusalem is in our hearts. The grasping at the...

    A time line

    Time and space are meaningless....may as well map the grains of the beach - it would probably be more likely to be accurate. we are being born, living, dying and kneeing in eternity, right now.

    True Christian?

    A true Christian is an apprentice of Love. A true Christian is in a deep relationship with the Master.

    Why is God So Mean?

    John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

    Why is God So Mean?

    1 Thessalonians 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
