Yes, among other things. All tyrants consider themselves beyond the constraints of natural and moral law.

Babylonian wisdom, sometimes referred to as Babylonish, is knowledge gleaned and gathered from every source available for the purpose of elevating and glorifying man, which is why the foretold number 666 of ancient renown is appropriated by the BEAST, - nothing to do with God discerning it but...

Have a go at this: The wisdom is Babylonian numerology and gematria. The understanding is the significance of this particular triangular number. (The sum of all the numbers 1 to 36) The count is the position of each of the numbers in the sum. The number of a man is the ownership by letters...

Thanks for clearing that up. I prefer some posts to be invisible to me, hence the amusing perplexity. Of course we are justified by grace through faith. No faith = no grace = no justification.

Hullo! Is anyone there? What's this about consistently misinterpreting . . .me? As if . . .

Who said anything about being sinless? That's not another unintentional inclusion is it . . . now I'm getting cautious.

Not intended to be included? I'm very suspicious of things that are not intended to be included and just happen to be included unintentionally.. I intend to include the point that without one coming to faith there is no possibility of God's grace being available to one.

Thanks for providing this material, Paul. You have a style of writing that is easy to read so it didn't take me long to get through all 61 pages. Interestingly, some Anglican clergy have opted out of their denomination in protest against its acceptance of gay marriage and ordination of those in...

With a chapter on the "The Perils of Bi-Polar Pastors" perhaps. Paul doesn't mention these specifically but my experience is that they are not to be trusted, and their lack of suitability leads to instability, even suicide in one case with which I am familiar. 2Co 11:26 in journeys often, in...

Thankyou for relating your experience, Pearl. There seem to be seasons of growth with a congregation leading to a stream, and a stream to a movement, but sustainability of Biblical principles without the adoption of worldly models of corporatisation is a challenge for those called to lead the...

Adam sinned because he could. In eternity God foreknew he would. God is always just and true Telling Adam what not to do. God did not make Adam disobey Eat the forbidden fruit He did not say. God is always just and true He tells us all what not to do. Jas 1:13-15 Let no man say when He is...

After branching out from my Anglican heritage in the 1980's I began hearing a lot about Accountability in the charismatic movement, mainly Christian Fellowship/New Life, AOG, & Apostolic, but also the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International. Although based on Scripture there is a mix...

Yes, a little politics goes a long way with me, but in prayer and intercession I lift up those in authority so that law and order can be maintained according to the Will of God. Christians who have political bees in their bonnets are NOT good company where I'm concerned, but I do my best to...

I stopped reading you when it became obvious you are pushing a strawman fallacy.

The Ethiopian eunuch was an educated and well-informed proselyte. He was free to travel to Jerusalem for worship and had a copy of the OT Book of Isaiah, which tells us that his position with Queen Candace came with material benefits, since scrolls of OT Scriptures were costly and beyond the...

"Heavy Shepherding" is still practiced in the Potter's House cult which we have in NZ. I would also put Destiny Church in the frame.

What? In eternity God always knows everything that is knowable. From our perspective, God has always known whomever will believe in His only begotten Son.

Hi Michiah-Imla, The belief that Jesus preached to the dead before His resurrection is not based on sound doctrine. A misinterpretation of this passage of Scripture by Roman Catholic supporters of the false doctrine of purgatory leads many down a blind alley. 1Pe 3:18-20 For Christ also has...

God's choice and man's choice intersect at the crucifixion of Christ. No doubt the activity of the Holy Spirit is the causation of the sinner's choice to believe in Christ as Lord and Saviour, and God's foreknowledge of this choice is the causation of their being ordained to eternal life...

Hi dga. Re. the bed of roses, watch out for the thorns. I've noticed that some very popular and successful preachers get caught up in worldliness and carnality. One such preacher of a large assembly that tended to put him on a pedestal admitted becoming bored when he had achieved his goals...
