    The Numbers 12 and 13, Fertility, The Zodiac, Religion, Time and Music’s Common Thread

    Same with me and my family ..... and with many other elderly Christian church goers who all have children that don't 'fall in'.

    My Lord And Savior Is Not A "SISSIFIED NEEDY JESUS", But HE is a GOD of WRATH!!

    By their works shall ye know them (and also by their hateful words:( ) This is the first time I've felt the urge to troll back over these posts and built up a batch of 'ignore' members (and it won't include JW's or Mormons).

    The Numbers 12 and 13, Fertility, The Zodiac, Religion, Time and Music’s Common Thread

    Thanks for the 'Heads-up' ..... I've corrected the typo.

    Do I Have To Go To Church?

    You really do write with what seems to me to be an unwarranted degree of dogmatism. Could you not just add the occasional 'IMO'? I know of a group that claims scriptural basis, and they are as sincere as yourself ....(and maybe equally sincerely wrong).

    The Numbers 12 and 13, Fertility, The Zodiac, Religion, Time and Music’s Common Thread

    Great thread that is bringing back many memories. In one of my forums we had a dedicated Welsh follower of E.W. Bullinger....name of 'Christine', who hated being referred to as a 'Hyper Dispensationist'. Also I remember trolling through a friends livingwater.createaforum.com and coming across...

    What “does not nature itself even teach us” (I Corinthians 11:14)?

    Very true. When I used to live riverside in Wroxham I particularly noticed it with lame ducks being abandoned. And BTW welcome to CB from another relatively new member (and a Brit to boot).

    What “does not nature itself even teach us” (I Corinthians 11:14)?

    I remember a while back, when I was ill, that I had pitched a bed in my downstairs conservatory so that I could look out over my garden. One day whilst I was thinking how lovely nature was, a ‘homing’ pigeon landed exhausted in my garden and my cat must have thought it was his birthday. For the...

    The 'Good Old Days'?

    At 85 I've become a very nostalgic person and I long for the days when Churches were packed with worshippers like those in the following video:

    And just as I was trying to see the 'better side of you':(

    The vast range of Greys between Black and White

    Much the same is said about Universal Reconciliationists, but surely it all hinges on whether one loves Christ for what one gets out of it, or out of sheer devotion for what He did for us. In any case surely those blessed with Eternal Life as a 'Gift' of faith will be so overwhelmed by the...

    The vast range of Greys between Black and White

    With provisos we may well be in agreement. As an Annihilationist I believe that 'lost' simply means to 'perish' and be no more, as per John 3:16, and to do so in the 'second death' (as distinct from being tormented day and night in a 'second life') as per Revelation 21:8 (where "having their...

    "Have you ever had a spiritual paranormal encounter?"

    I have a feeling that many of us might see the 'better side' of David if we try hard enough. And I hope the same might be said of others (me included?? )

    "Have you ever had a spiritual paranormal encounter?"

    I feel very humbled to think that I might have been used of God in any way in bringing blessing to a few lives. May God grant that I continue to do so in my present guise. But I guess I will always be a 'marmite man for God' in his purpose of bringing the sword that divides rather than peace...

    What's it all about, Alfie?

    All that I think, write, or speak, comes from a heart this is a mixture of good and bad. I believe God to have given me a new heart, but that until I hopefully put on immortality in the resurrection, both the old and the new heart contend with one another, with supremacy being dependent on my...

    What's it all about, Alfie?

    “Trust in God with all your heart and lean neither unto your own understanding, nor to that of any other man, for the race is not to the swift, the battle is not to the strong, knowledge is not to the wise, riches are not to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill, but everything is...

    My Lord And Savior Is Not A "SISSIFIED NEEDY JESUS", But HE is a GOD of WRATH!!

    Everyone's perception of God is really a reflection of themselves. We create 'our' God in our own image. If you are a legally minded, unforgiving, and penal person then that is how you will perceive God to be. And ditto for the opposites, and all the shades in between. The 'Hellfire' scriptures...

    "Have you ever had a spiritual paranormal encounter?"

    Looks like a SDA choir, whose youtube singing I regularly enjoy.

    "Have you ever had a spiritual paranormal encounter?"

    Surely you don't expect this 'Oneoff' cessationost to believe the same as other cessationists? Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I just believe that the range of special 'miraculous' experiences were only necessary for as long as it took in order to 'kick-start' something as radically new as the Gospel...
