The expression 'born again' has been hijacked. The 'religious' up to their old tricks, have ensured it has morphed, becoming a 'trip' and well meaning people are repeating the distortions. As an example, if I say to a man who is getting thinner by the day, you have to eat, and an enthusiastic...

Yes, and so it will be at the end of time, men will destroy men and their habitations. God wont. The protection that God afforded the wicked is defiantly pushed away. The angels holding back the winds of strife will withdraw when the final message of mercy and kindness is rejected. God will let...

Did you ever think that the filter of your paradigm hamstrings your ability to understand? Had it ever occurred to you that the Jews had the same problem? They had spent centuries honing their theology and didn't like it when it was revealed as falling short. They continually shot the successive...

Jesus foresaw the result of the Jews rejecting the long promised Messiah. He looked with tears at the result. Matt. 23:37-38 It was the Romans who levelled Jerusalem, not God. It was wicked men destroying wicked men, not a compassionate God who was pissed off. Matthew 23:37-38 'Jerusalem...

God will act definitively but not in anger or revenge or as popular theology portrays him; itching for his 'pound of flesh'. He will rescue his people and the wicked who live by the principle of survival of the fittest will be the source of their own demise....both rulers and servants, rich and...

Because the straw man is limping and way too small.

Those with ears to hear Jesus, know!

What will the 1000 year kingdom on earth Jesus reigns over look like. Straw man!

haha....ahhhhh, the desire for man to categorise. The 'bucket' is never satisfied! Isn't it clear that the only factor Jesus endorses is 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another' John 13:35 ....and I would add, not those who make big noises talking...

God is described in anthropomorphic terms because that's the only way we can get reference. God is neither male or female. God is a unity described in ways so we can somehow get our head around but falling far short of the eternal reality, so we have 'Father, Son and Spirit. Can we even...

ahhhh, a question worth pondering!

You have not absorbed the most basic of my statements in past posts...... evident in your statement above. How then will absorb where value lays in the scriptures?

hello

I know, it's not your logic.....so you dismiss it....making your claim of being Bible students severely hamstrung in their understanding and conclusions....just as the Jews. Matthew 1:23 'The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel, which is...

Jesus limited himself on Earth. He was subject to the weaknesses we are subject to. He put off 'his authority' and lived by faith. Jesus humbled himself and became like fallen man. Now, having revealed the character of God in its fullness, which no other can do except God and revealed it to the...

redundant for whom?

You're assuming it is God who is doing the destroying, Marty. Have you considered other factors?

good questions!

We read an assumption into these texts. They tell us what will occur and we assume it is God who is doing all this destruction. Finding something in these texts you've quoted which disagree with my statement is welcome......and we can talk about it?

When and why will God destroy the world? Why put the onus on God for destruction? What has brought about this assumption? Isn't it the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy? John 10:10....and if it is the thief who does these things and we know it is, wouldn't we expect that he would also...
