I re-read the scripture concerning loving the brethren, it specifically says "as I have loved you (love one another)" How do you think Jesus has loved me? How will that affect how I love you?

The question is: would you hand them over to the Devil for their lack of faith? (really?)

Thanks for your prayers, guys! The moving thing is a real problem (unless I get work) there is only one suburb in the whole city that has affordable rent. I just need my landlord to pump the brakes for a year and give me a chance to get work. I keep thinking of the parable Jesus told of the...

This is old, but I think there are two things worth pointing out: one, "better a cowardly dog, than a dead lion" (in other words, be grateful you have a job, even if it is casino work); two, if you are paying tithes, then you are doing good (no matter what the circumstances suggest). Maybe on...

"When you see these things start to happen, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws nigh" Luke 21:28

I like @Lambano s suggestion: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" (that covers everything)

Mary said by the Spirit that she would be called "blessed". Mary did not say people should call her "tested" (or put her to the test!)

If a tare can die, a tare can be saved. It is not the being a tare, which is an obstacle to God, but the relationship to Him that tare cultivates.

There is an interesting dynamic when dealing with Evolutionists: at times I hate them and at times I love them. I never seem to make so much progress that it is only one way and not the other. Now, I don't know if this points to something spiritual, but in the Lord, you would expect the Lord to...

Thanks guys. I've been told the scammers can't reach me, so I should be fine. Be on guard, they can get your data from anywhere! Praying the Church doesn't get scammed!

I contend that when John realised this, he was looking within. Jesus said "People will not say 'it is there' or 'it is here', for the kingdom is within you" (from memory Luke 17:21) If the kingdom is within you, how is the Great White Throne not?

Hi there, So I had a simple thought: how hard will it be, for Jesus to return to being without sin? The concept is, becoming sin went in one direction - toward God - whereas returning to being without sin, goes beyond God. Jesus does not want us to stay where we are; one day we will have to...

I think boasting in Heaven, will be a little like comparing scars! Welcome to the board!

Hi there, So I just did a simple mental trick, I asked myself "where is the Great White Throne, relative to where I am on Earth now?" and I looked, and I realised that it was within me! We are not doing the things that will get God praise, because we are selfish; we are doing these things...

Hi there, So yes, I am being asked to consider moving out and I don't want to. The Lord said "do not go from house to house" and I would rather not! Also, I am struggling with scammers - they pretended to be working for my disability service and are trying to take money from my account. Thanks.

I wonder how my love for you all will change, over time? Which direction do you want it to go?

No, but He would have experienced other things. Surprise is not an entirely earthly thing, I don't know why you are against it. I'm not saying God is shocked. What does it mean, when it says "enter into the joy of your Lord"? No longer function in what you have learned in this world?

The Spirit wants to obey all the commandments, but the flesh gradually focusses less and less on the first commandments. So a people strong in spirit, will want to have no other god than God; while a people weak in the flesh, will be happy just not to covet (the last of the ten commandments).

Let me put it this way, and see if you agree: God may not be surprised, but He does know if He would be, if He were not God.

I sort of get the idea, that sowing the seeds of salvation (seed thrown from the camel) is easy if you have faith (you are clothed correctly).
