    The gears in a vehicle are not the driver. It is the engine that drives. The engine can run but if the gears are not selected nothing moves. Expecting to move the vehicle solely by selecting gears is a fool's expectation.

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    John was a figure of Elijah.....he preached reform. It was in this sense that Jesus refers to John

    The four gospels are a rather scant record of Jesus 3.5 yr ministry....John 21:25 confirms this. Subsequently any film made on this matter will inevitably have filler to make it flow. Picking apart the filler because it is not 'purist' defeats its purpose.

    A small digression re 'mediator'. Who was it that Jesus mediated for? It is most often taken for granted that Jesus mediation was about appeasing an angry God however, I would say that Jesus was mediating God to us. Yes, we were the ones angry with God. Jesus came to show us that God's affection...

    Anyone with insight recognises this. Many of the stories/ parables Jesus told were fictional. They weren't intended as a history lesson. They were intended to convey certain true principles. The story circulating in our culture of 'The Emperors New Clothes' is a fictional story yet embedded in...

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?" Jesus is the full revelation of God. We can ask, 'why did God need to be revealed'?......and why? and of course, revealed to who? Not seeing (understanding, comprehending) Jesus...

    Speak to the value of following Jesus

    Speak to the value of following Jesus God is vindicated. All the false charges brought for millennia are nullified. The dragon has been defeated though his tail still thrashes. The inhabitants of unnumbered Worlds and angelic beings rejoice and we in our frail frames and little faith on our...

    Let's bring it down to tin tacks. What do you perceive the 'mission' of Jesus to ultimately be? I don't mean the side benefits we derive from it, I mean it's ultimate purpose?
