    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    I’ll be happy to remind you if you don’t know. You were a FREE, pure and very GOOD soul. ALL to you and ALL about you was not merely “good” as a grown-up perceives “good” — but rather, VERY GOOD, as God perceives GOOD. Such it was with Adam and Eve. Whether you “believe” in them or not, think...

    Perhaps the worse part of any belief system is the need for a belief system. “Believing” is an iffy proposition. With “belief,” there always has to be some measure of doubt — even if infinitesimal. If doubt were not involved, “belief” would not qualify as belief. That is why the most important...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    This is a PERFECT example of why “Christianity” is not an Organized Religion; rather, a very Unorganized one. First: Jesus says that these men, “HAD NOT HAD SIN.” Please take notice. This specifically means that these men did not have “Original Sin” (clear testimony of Jesus that there is no...

    @VictoryinJesus, You have picked the PERFECT topic. What better place for us to start than at the beginning — with the problem, ITSELF? As we have already established in this thread, The Knowledge of Good & Evil (in and of ITSELF) is the problem. The problem we face is psychological, not...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Save for the first five and a half chapters of Romans, that is not at ALL what I get out of Paul’s writing. Nor does anyone one else I’ve ever talked to within Christendom. You write: I am really confused when you said Paul only gives two choices; both slavery. Two, muddled together...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Is that the first time you ever read John 3:16? I mean the original version? The Koine-Greek version? “For God thus loved the world, that he gave the Son, the unique one, that EVERYONE trusting in him may not perish, but have Life eternal.” If the Apostle John were a court reporter, then John...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    As the Holy Spirit asks of you, Scott... “How’s that workin’ out for you?” If you truly buy into Paul’s philosophy, any answer is impossible for “you” to say. For… by the full plate of what Paul has gotten you and the rest of his Cult-Members to eat, “You are no longer living as ‘you’.” Which...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Always remember the first Words Jesus spoke, concerning the GOOD News. “The Kingdom of Heaven is near!” (And, what should we, as human beings, do… for that to happen? Turn our problem into a pillar of salt!) “Change your way of thinking!” Speaking to me, ScottA calls “ALL of what I’ve written”…...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Folks (I’ll be the first one to agree) let’s put aside our 2000-Year Progress Report. It doesn’t really matter, the abject stupidity that we have continuously been doing — twiddling our thumbs for the last 2000 years. What’s 2000 years in the whole scheme of things? The much bigger error would...

    Armageddon does not have to happen. Calling ALL Christians: Quit trying to make it into a self-fulfilling prophecy! GOD can do anything GOD wants to do. The Jesus Concept still has a very GOOD chance of working… if we just give it an honest chance. It’s been 2000 years and we have yet to do...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    We usually become infected with the disease (our problem) around the age of two. Apparently, ScottA doesn’t “believe” a human being is born with a spirit. Which (using his words), seriously… makes it worse with him than I thought! Apparently, ScottA does not know what it is for a human being...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Humanity is a huge part of GOD’S Creation-Assessment. Quite a compliment to ALL of humanity from the Highest Voice that can be heard in the Absolute of EVERYTHING. From our perspective? We simply do not realize HOW great a compliment. For, we are terrifically incapable of fully considering the...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Pondering over the words of Paul/Rocky. Pondering Religion. SEALING-UP ALL that new wine… that Rocky put into those old wineskins. Paul’s roots — roots rooted in Religion. Rocky’s-Roots. Sounds like a Western Junk-Food snack. Yet, they were very important to Rocky. He had a huge desire to…...

    @VictoryinJesus, Wow. It takes so much time to address ALL this in one gulp. But, here goes. Overall, I like what you have shared thus far. I do not agree with ALL of it. I will say, you do make some of the most interesting comments I have ever heard and you do ask the best questions. Again, I...

    VictoryinJesus, I’m still working on answering your previous post (the BIG one that you posted prior to the one that started this little exchange). My answer is coming along — I’ll have it done for you soon. But, I just had to pop in here, briefly. Because this is such a positive and helpful...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    @JunChosen, The Word used in the Greek and Hebrew is "delivered" not "saved." Regardless, the Word Jesus actually uses is RANSOMED... not "saved." However, I never said nor have I ever "claimed"... "Jesus never saved anyone." Feel FREE to clarify yourself. I, for one, have no idea what you are...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Exactly why Jesus walked AWAY from the Capernaum-Idiots. It’s ALL about the “I’m-Right-And-You’re-Wrong” game. Scott has no interest in testing the Spirits in the matter of what he “believes,” nor in learning the Truth. God forbid, not a NEW Truth! For, that would mean… having to admit to...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    @VictoryinJesus, I do not mean anything disrespectful by the term, “The Box” or by the word, “cheese-headedness.” Would it be better for me to call it “brainwashed and unchangeable-headedness”? I will gladly do so, if you think that will help. Right from the beginning, I encouraged ALL of...

    Humankind is born into trouble. Not born with trouble. Maybe you should stay in more -- turn the lights on and get your magnifying glass out. Apparently, it's tough to read accurately with only the firelight to guide you.

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    Do you understand, Scott? I didn’t even want me “being a great dad” to get in his way, as he would continue onward in Life... in our father/son relationship. The God’s-honest Truth is the exact opposite of “Original Sin.” We are not born with a sin-problem that leads to evil. We contract a...
