Some interesting questions arise with the sacrifice of Jesus ie, how is this to be understood? 1...Does God require a sacrifice as in the slaying of an innocent before he will forgive? 2...If God is love and love keeps no record of wrongs as attested in 1 Cor. 13 ...in the light of this, how do...

...they follow the lamb wherever he goes... Revelation 14:4 how would you understand this?....don't answer too quickly

In Jesus Name....what does the scripture mean by this or maybe I should ask, what do you understand by this? Is it a magical formula which when used at the end of a prayer will deliver the goods that not using it won't? What do you think and why did Jesus say, 'if you ask anything in my name I...

So you blow it again, where to from here? Trying harder hasn't worked for you?....it hasn't worked for me either. Yeah yeah, the resolve is there and for a while I pat myself on my back, maybe you do to? 'I've beat the offending characteristic, I'm on my way to heaven'...hallelujah, praise the...
