The great do not always seek to be wise; the aged do not want to visit judgment on the next generation

This is not so much for the OP, as it was years ago, but: Even the disgraced, live a pleasant life, in the Lord (selah)

I'm starting to understand, that certain people of the faith, love to repeat that Grace is by faith, not works. I don't want to take that enjoyment away from them. I wonder how that faith will grow, that's all. I mean is the seventieth time you repeat that "Grace is by faith, not works", any...

The soul is mysterious, I agree. To listen with the soul, you must release your spirit and receive of the life of the soul. If I listened with my head, I might focus on particular words; if I listened with my heart I might focus on particular emotions; and if I listened with my soul, I might...

Yes, but the whole point is that He wants our faith to surprise Him. You are talking about robots and mind control.

You are making the mistake of the Gnostics, to punish the flesh as "evil". The head is important, but it is not the whole of the body. Let me explain, I had a contention with my earthly father, that God could not possibly know me, better than I know myself. It got to the point that I started...

My flesh struggled in me, when I read the title. I think the Devil would really like to complicate the Gospel, and the idea that we can recover the "simplicity" of it, threatens him. I think you nailed it, when you said "the return" is what the simplicity (of the Gospel) points to. I think...

The point is that God is not waiting to be thanked for saving, but to hear of how His Son has been rediscovered in you. Now you can be foolish and say "I've done it!" or you can be wise and say "I've done something!"

Ok right, So this is a very simple observation about how the Gospel is able to be more expertly interpreted, more faithfully delivered. What I am hoping for here, is that you will open your mind up to the idea that there is a true way for the Gospel to be received, that differs for almost...

This thread is annoying for one reason: if you are the "Way" then you are already the "Way to yourself".

Hi there, So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God...

Now it has picked up that I was planning a trip to Queenscliffe. Not that I wrote the word "Queenscliffe" even once, but my Mum did on another computer.

May God add many talents to you here, if He hasn't already! Welcome!

As someone who - intentionally or otherwise - has turned "invention" into an 'art', I have to say: The more ways you invent interpretation to the Bible, the slower you have to go to believe it. If you love going slow, that's great; but the Devil and his angels are not obliged to give you the...

Dandelion chai tea, helps me relax - is that relevant to your post?

In Australia, Evolutionists seem to support the idea that "loosening the reigns, a little, helps the [Evolutionary process] work better". I mean, people in Australia say "take it easy, mate" and "no worries" and when it comes to Evolution, they don't seem to change that. It's something that...

Sounds like "partially right a few times, the rest of the time unaddressed" to me.

Yes, but who knows the name of the Devil? I know its a title, but it stands for a Name.

I appreciate your sentiment - indeed I do not want to give place, to something that defies God - but what do you think of this: The only pressure in Heaven, is to be close to God (selah) Can you see this is relevant to how you spend your time in Heaven?

Two things: I like that you are calm (enough to repeat your words); I like that you don't water down the distinction between believer and atheist. I would venture to say "there are only so many believers a Church needs to save; and there are only a certain number of things a Church needs to...
