    God is Good - A Concise Personal Experience

    I am profoundly blessed by my family; God bore me well. My mom taught me genuine love. My dad taught me ardent belief. My sister, five years my senior, introduced me to words and the idea of learning them. My folks are still with me today. My sister is not. Neither is one of my sons. But...

    ARE DISASTERS A JUDGEMENT OF GOD?

    I would heartily encourage you to do so. The pressure down here holds me together. At the surface, I feel apt to burst for the vacuousness.

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    If I were a gambler, I'd plunk some money down on this wager: I bet there is someone that comes to your mind right away when I ask you "Who should go to hell?"

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    Matthew 12:31-37 "Therefore I tell you, men will be forgiven for any sin or abusive speech, but abusive speech about the Spirit cannot be forgiven. And whoever speaks against the Son of Man will be forgiven for it, but whoever speaks against the holy Spirit cannot be forgiven for it, either...

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    I'm sorry. I really need to work on my approach. You are offended that I have no respect for your god. I am offended that you are disrespecting God. If you can hear this, I was handed the same origami construct of a large feline as you were. I was afraid of it, too. But I sought Him anyway...

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    And yet I'm sure you still have your eye and hand. Have you drank any blood recently? The holy Spirit baptizes in fire, does that scare you? I love to read the Bible and believe it, which is why I like to argue with people like you, so that others may come by and witness our interaction and...

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    God also said "sacrifice your child" to Abraham, "serve and pray for Babylon" to recently exiled Israelites, and "do it" after an Israelite commander inadvertantly offered to sacrifice his daughter to God for a victory in battle. Do you really want to tell me you understand when you say "God...

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    The standard thought is what it is because that which is set apart is, by definition, what is holy. Darkness is formless and void. Light, by virtue of presence, drives it out at speeds in the hundreds of thousands of miles per second. I don't have standard thoughts, I have Bible thoughts; and...

    Role of The Spirit

    At present, you lose meaning to lack of formatting which is exacerbated by admixture of foreign language with Biblical concepts. I encourage you to seek a vernacular more exclusively constructed of Scriptural terminology.

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    You think burning people is right; that it is justifiable. That is disgusting.

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    The only thing stopping people from this joy and pleasure of development is the fear of destroying something of value. If God is not in it, it has no value. If it lies about Him, it is worthy of annihilation. I nearly destroyed myself before I saw Who I was looking for.

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    He is not there for selfless love of the church, or if he is, it is obscured by other priorities he is clearly placing above that. Most likely it is how I identify irrationality with simple logic statements of the if/then variety with which the Bible is replete. It could also be that I...

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    Forget the hammer, forget the wrecker, forget TNT. Use FIRE. Burn it down to those bones Jesus called out in the brood of vipers that followed Him around. Everything is true or false at it's very core, fundamentally, in principle.

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    The pastor of the church I have been attending is scared of me. I ask very challenging questions that poke pointedly at where mr. seminary is getting his information. He's scared because I'm not doing anything wrong and I just want to talk about the Bible in church. He's also scared because...

    Role of The Spirit

    Project? Climax? You lose me with these words I haven't seen in Scripture. Not in this application anyway. Not saying they aren't there, I'm just not familiar. Enlighten me? Or link to your definitions?

    ARE DISASTERS A JUDGEMENT OF GOD?

    Fun fact: the Corolla is the best-selling car in the world by name, having sold in the vicinity of 50 million since it's introduction in 1966. If you are looking for the best selling car by model with the stipulation being the single best selling design by concept, that title would fall to the...

    ARE DISASTERS A JUDGEMENT OF GOD?

    Who created the world? Who hung the stars? Who draws the sun across the sky? so... Who controls the weather? People today sorely overestimate the power of men. We only see what we are permitted; or do you control your own awareness? Do you see a car, or do you see a 2014 Toyota Corolla S...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    You're right, you didn't state that. I paraphrased to express succinctly my understanding of what I thought you were saying. I don't think this is constructive, I'm going to stop.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    That beats dismissal by a long shot.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    This format is difficult to track for me, to keep up the pace. I appreciate your patience. What you stated, if I am not mistaken, suggests that the saved are sinless and the sinful are not saved. I suggest we are all in a process, and an individual's expressed behavior reflects directly the...
