    "The word was a god"?

    The following passage emphasises the unique relationship between the Father and the Son. First off 'Father' and 'Son' are human terms that don't adequately capture the unique relationship between the two. His way's are past finding out... including how the Godhead works. John 14 5 Thomas...

    LEXOPHILIA for Lexophiles

    A few days ago an Australian warship cruised into New Zealand waters with its radar on and indeed jammed the internet in the lower North and upper South Islands including the capital Wellington. It was on a frequency that interfered with 5G...

    And if you are married and have unity of purpose with your spouse you are on another level again.

    Right - not my calling... I would however like to teach what I call guerrilla evangelism if folks were interested.

    Help with John 12:32

    Mmmm... I thought we were not to add to His Word...

    Understood - I have to say however that I am a bullet Christian and not a shotgun Christian. I get led to situations and circumstances in need of a Word or a healing or a deliverance.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Yes... I relate to this. The difference is that I needed to be restored from a very broken state and that is why reading Scripture devotionally alone for 5 years was necessary. That was however 50 years ago. Apart from this Scripture is a treasure to be mined and the Spirit continues to...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Important issues being raised thanks, I notice that when I ask members who are 'creed averse' to read the creed and suggest what might be unbiblical, there is silence. To balance this it is easy to forget that He chooses the imperfect to implement His perfect plan. This applies to churches...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    For me I have had years of preparation before being called into the service I describe, including a ton of bible reading.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    That is the fragrance of life to life. (this is Him working through us) We are in Melbourne on holiday praying each day for exactly that to manifest in every encounter... (and He sets them up.) My wife caught up with a friend from 50 years back - we shared about faith in Jesus - on the way out...

    You have gotta laugh... A Pastor from Africa suggested I start a bible study - I explored the possibility just incase it was a God idea. Bingo the support was there, and the 'Pastor' was never seen or heard of again.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    There is another serious aspect to this... That which is not of faith is sin. Faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ. Personal works not ordained of Him and motivated by His Love come to naught. Much Christian activity fails this basic test. Knowing the map is one thing - walking in...

    LEXOPHILIA for Lexophiles

    Friend, there is no short and easy path to genuine fruit. When I was a young believer was warned not to pray for brokenness but I ignored the advice. Talk about being outside the camp... Heb 13 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13...
