Like I said, I put them on the shelf. In my 50 odd years as a believer I have the benefit of looking back over HOW I have believed and WHAT I have believed. In my early years being gullible to various points of view was not recognised and stories like the one you have presented were easily...

Tell me what you find amazing Matthew.

The voice on the mountain said of Jesus, 'listen to him' It/ he could have said much more but chose not to. Can we hear what those simple words mean? 'listen to him'

What I do with them is hear them and put them on the shelf. I have no way of verifying the truth of stories of this nature.....knowing that folk are prone to exaggerate, to dream up things, to lie and so on.

Yeah....topics are pretty easy to morph. Seems like most interactions are like that......but I wouldn't call it 'downhill'. I would say, a page is turned....which can be a good thing. When it comes to the wallet dilemma, all I can offer is, I don't carry anything with me (wallet, phone, watch...

All three are the same article. Beats me why it uploaded as it did.....and as I said, couldn't and can't clear it.

Not sure what happened to that upload....can't clear it.

Since posting #20 just under an hour ago I read this article in our national news. I thought it of sufficient insight to post here. Even if you don't read the whole article, at least sample its flavour.

No doubt, that will be the case!

Yes, I agree with that.

My place is never locked. In fact I don't even remember where I keep the keys. I did a martial art for decades working out regularly but as I got thinking of the Gospel, I wondered if Jesus would have used violence to defend himself? I could see a few of his mates carried a 'sword ' or maybe it...

Sounds like the US is getting desperate
