    So a thread for committed participants rather than a PM ? Should I do a Youtube presentation for discussion and post the Link here ?

    That is up to what support there is for such a group to form.

    If you check out my participation on CF you will see I am unafraid to present biblical themes in open public. Some folks however are interested in a Bible study rather than what is often like a circus on open forum. But let the readers decide what they want. Some will welcome a safe space in...

    A teacher in the Spirit of the New Testament will 'draw out' not shove in... check out the Greek for 'educate' This is being proposed not because it is my idea but because I was requested to do it. If you want to sample my input over the last 7 years see Christian Forums here Carl Emerson...

    I would expect that participants would input good inspiration so the collective outcome would be fruitful and way beyond my offering. Lets hear some more voices on this...

    Those committed to learn would be able to dialogue together without interference from protagonists. Open forums are like a jungle of ideas and agenda's - but hey, what do you folks think about that ???

    I do hope we can be interactive... Galatians 6:6

    Yes, maybe a presentation on Youtube and we can dialogue on a group PM here on the forum. Does anyone know how many members can be on a PM together? Gold stars will have to wait until after resurrection sorry.

    If there is enough interest I would do a 45 minute session on video conference with home work in between. Those interested PM me and we can set up a group chat. I will not have all the answers but I may be able to help with questions that arise.

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    Well Steve, I guess from your questions you are yet to experience an encounter with His Holy fear - quite different than anything else like being afraid in the normal sense. I remember being unable to speak for several hours when He passed by at a prayer meeting years back. Unforgettable. Quite...

    Spin is opinion... Context does not limit principle. You will have to take that up with Jesus... The Fear of God and the fear of man are different fears.

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    You are putting your spin on it... Consider the kindness and severity of God... It is not one or the other - it is a both and. However if you want to justify a UR position then you will do this to mount a case that dissenters believe in a tyrant God. Fellowship with His presence is sweet to...

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    Isn't that exactly what He says when He warns that our anger can not achieve the purposes of God ? That is because no matter how righteous we perceive human anger might be, it falls short of His Holy purpose. There is a theological concept of the 'Holy Other' of God. Then there is the issue...

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    Best way to answer that is to quote a whole gaggle of scripture - do you want that ???

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    I wonder how much of the 'old grouch' perception of God comes from insecure Church leaders ? (as well as human fathers)
