It is clear you cannot see sympathy. It is also clear that you need to demonise others to elevate the tight fisted approach. The demonisation of the perceived enemy is first cab off the rank in the logic of this World.

I s'pose you'll be applying for the job of gatekeeper?

The Nations of the World think that by 'protecting' themselves in the practice of outting others they have the ascendancy. They do not understand Jesus words, 'For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.' Matthew 16:25

What I find noteworthy is that when God's Law is upheld there is all manner of objection and language like, 'the Law's been done away with' and 'we are in the new covenant' ......all to negate his requirements with lots of squirming in an attempt to nullify his ten words yet when it comes to...

I guess you have cast your lot!

It is clear to me that you love the idea of payback. You see it as justice and believe that if payback is not in place, justice is not served. What you haven't understood is that none of us deserve life; we all fall short and if it were not for grace our lives would not be.

Bamboozling to take you down rabbit warrens. Be careful!

The Jews regularly pestered Jesus for a sign to prove his authority/ authenticity when all along he was providing signs. You guys have the same issue. Your inability to hear and see is never questioned by yourselves. You assume you have 20/20 vision and hearing which excels when in fact you...

It is the 'eye for an eye' principle which majors on Law. Law has no ability to motivate except through fear and fear is not a phenomena in the Kingdom of God. Fear controls, it puts people in straight jackets which in turn desires and insists on putting others into straight jackets. Jesus...

The short sightedness is astounding. In order for both yourself and AJ to make the criticisms you make, you need to deny/ ignore the context of the conversation. You also need to ignore where, how and why AJ's sidestepping is preferential including the hurried projection. I'm not even certain...

Your misunderstanding of the nature of Father/ Son/ Spirit hamstrings insight into their roles.

Ah yes, God loves justice, this is true. We strike problems however, when we insist that what we understand as justice is what God understands as justice. From what I glean, God's justice is liberation/ freedom while mans justice is payback/ revenge. The two understandings are at odds with each...

My dear TLHKAJ, thank you for your encouragement. I hope you know I am very fond of you and my heart goes out. I also hope this is not misunderstood as it so often is. My life is lived in ongoing prayer with my Abba/ Saviour.....and for your interest, it is for discernment, for clarity, for the...

I wonder what Jesus and later the disciples deemed critical deception? The passing of time inevitably changes culture. We can see that from the shifts that have occurred in the human race around the World from the time of Adam and Eve. I'm sure they never had rock'n roll or fentanyl concerns or...

Cats are lovely Debp but where in the line of priorities do they fit when it comes to homeless people?

know where the traps are

Interesting that it was the Law the Pharisees appealed to in their indifference to the suffering of others. Grace is what they found offensive. It was because of their priorities that they found themselves at odds with Jesus.

I have reservations, not in all that he said but in HOW cleverly his testimony morphed from his claims of God telling/ answering his question/s to a rambling founded on his particular theological interpretation.....which I find questionable. It was so seamlessly done I could not immediately...

As you were saying, there are many deceptions, no doubt from the flavour of chewing gum to nuclear power, from the age of the Earth to understanding the variations of dysfunction in a human being. I don't think we have the capacity to be onto every deception that exists. That said, the question...

Might the kind thing to do, considering all the talk, be, to take in a homeless American and so take a feather out of the cap of a travelling Samaritan?.....or would a convenient excuse be 'a travelling Samaritan's' cap doesn't fit?
