Did he wait? or is our perception skewed? Ephesians 1:4-6 Before the creation of the world, he chose us through Christ to be holy and perfect in his presence. 5 Because of his love he had already decided to adopt us through Jesus Christ. He freely chose to do this so that the kindness  he had...

I mean all people. Yes, God has given life to all. It is a gift. It is news that is so good, it is gob smacking. How can people be lost you might ask? It is a mystery why people should be lost. If there was a reason, there would be an excuse but there is no excuse. They have been wooed by the...

All of us are written in the book of life for Jesus sake. In him we have this gift. Getting crossed out is the result of dogged rejection of what has been freely given us. ...and what does dogged rejection look like? One explanation is preferring ones own view to God's view. An example might...

I think Jonah is ok. He'll be able to tell you his fish story in detail when you see him yonder tl_p

You can get crossed out of the book of life by deliberately exiting it.

'Obligated' hmmm, what does that mean? God is long suffering. It means it never ends. So why is it a good idea to walk in God's ways? Is it not because his ways promote LIFE? Is it not because it is the way to relational joy? Is it not because everything thrives in life giving ways? Will sin...

I doubt Jesus made his parables deliberately difficult to understand. So why is there a struggle to get what he intended to convey? Is it not because of a refusal to concede that our paradigms are faulty? Oh no, I can hear in the background, not mine! If we refuse to even ask this question...

Does God bring calamity? It appears the OT folk thought so...and wrote so, but does that make it so? The storm on the sea which Jesus slept through before being awakened by his friends is another in question. I think we need to be definitive about this and know why otherwise the dot joining...

Jonah no doubt believed in human sacrifice as a method of appeasement. Evidently the storm abated after he was thrown overboard. The question is, who was it that bought on the storm? ...and as far as human sacrifice is concerned, the scripture is clear that God opposes this practice.

Who are the “other sheep” of John 10:16? (For Jehovah's Witnesses) The ones with curly wool! :IDK:

What didn't Noah do that God told him to do, tl_p?

All I see MD, when you are asked about statements you make, is excuses. You seem to assume I have some sort of idea as to what your troubles are and you draw conclusions based on your assumptions. I see it as an avoidance tactic.....and for my part at least, it is very difficult to believe you...

It appears you have many troubles MD. It also appears you desire magic fixes for them yet you make no effort to give any understanding to the readers here when they ask questions.

Would you like to tell us what you think preparation looks like?

Vision is for the seeing, Jack!

I guess you need to make that charge Jack, so you can maintain face with your blatant inconsistencies.

Hmmmm, I s'pose if torturing folk forever in fire is not deemed sin, perhaps you are content with 'do as I say, not do as I do'
