    Vision Interpretation?

    Do we really think we can outsmart the devil with our rational when he 'injects' thoughts and dreams and visions which convinces us they are from God? Visions and dreams given by God are clearly and unequivocally identified as such. Joseph, Mary's husband had such dreams as did the wise Men...

    Vision Interpretation?

    I've submitted post #2 for the sole purpose of self reflection. In all we, say, think and do (give our attention and energy to) we testify to something. The question is to what? Is it ourselves or is it to the one we claim has our adoration? Claiming something does not make it so as words are...

    Vision Interpretation?

    This is not intended to be offensive, rather it is to point out a common trait. The count of 38 references to I, me, my and I'm. (highlighted in red) surely tells to whom you are testifying to/ of I might be forgiven in concluding that Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, or any other including yourself is...

    "President Erdogan’s Son Calls for Turkey to Takeover Israel" - Geller Report

    When the premise is faulty, particularly when it is thought that one's premise is accurate, then every conclusion that follows is also in error.

    What books are you currently reading?

    My neighbour tells me he's read the bible 5 times. I ask him, 'do you understand what it's saying' He tells me no, yet still argues from it. I wonder how that works?

    "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

    "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." The statement above is seminal. It defines God's objective for mankind as well as defining the sin which distances us from God as opposed to God distancing himself from mankind. It behooves us to reflect on and reconsider the...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I guess the 'mindless ramble' expression is a great way to be non specific and justify one's own perceived insight/ wisdom.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Have you ever wondered why you need to make so many words in an attempt to get a point across AJ? ....and do you get your point across is another question? Could it be a possibility that the method you use is the same method used by most ....and from what I can see it is more chasing your own...

    Why does everyone seem to need to come up with their own belief and doctrinal formula?

    Does pointing to the opinions of others as their weak point include your opinions as well?

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Babylon the Great does not necessarily consist of nameable denominations (particularly those whom one is opposed to) Babylon the Great is far broader than that. It embraces all who operate by the principle of selfishness regardless whether their doctrines are right or wrong......and because of...

    PERSON-TATION

    'There is soooooo much confrontation regarding the Trinity doctrine--I hate to add to it. But it is all really quite simple:' If you really did hate it you wouldn't add to it. Speaking from both sides of your mouth?

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    In Jesus, all humanity is in the Book of Life. We don't get put into the book of life, we get taken out....and who takes us out? we do. Just as we didn't opt for life here on this planet, we do however have a choice to opt out....either quickly or slowly. All humanity is in Jesus; he opted us...

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Yes, the self is still much alive (selfishness)....its the self we do battle with every day. If one looks at the transition from Romans 7 to Romans 8 we see that while Paul acknowledges his sinful nature as active he is thankful for God's Grace. Romans 8:1 'There is therefore no...

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Sin is not isolated to the gross activity of the flesh. It includes the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Are they around the corner also? :Broadly: One thing has come to light though, being cornered makes 'em mad because Romans 7, well, let me put it this way, Paul identifies himself as not in the past, but blow me down, as in the present! I wonder if he would let people like himself in the house?
