Will a Third Temple Be Rebuilt? Does it really matter and is it just another distraction in line with the many smoke and mirrors out there?

consider how you've joined the dots steves.

The result of believing in Jesus will cause divisions even amongst members of ones own family. This is the meaning of Jesus' words.

My sins consist of selfishness in my thoughts. I battle with the self orientated me and the me who sees others as having great value. It's gimme, gimme, gimme against loving the other AS I have been loved, ie giving my LIFE for others. The superficial understanding of sin being the things we...

Lack of assurance is in my view one of the biggies within Christendom. It is manifest in the talk of Christians, their prayers and their behaviour. It is lacking because their understanding of why Jesus visited this planet is muddled in many ways. It dissipates their energy and focus. It...

The only people I know who have little or no consciousness of sins are criminals. On the other hand, I, yes me have no sense of condemnation because I believe and know in my experience my sins are forgiven, even all of them from birth to death. I have every reason to whistle and sing his praises...

When Jesus "took away" your sin, did He leave behind the source, the sin nature? Yes Ma'am, my sin nature seems to grow and grow. For sure, things I used to engage I don't these days BUT those things (sin) of which I was unconscious then, now come into my consciousness. The closer I get to Jesus...

Those with a renewed paradigm inline with Jesus, instinctively understand these parables. Those whose paradigm insists on interpreting through the eyes of 'flesh', (though not acknowledged) inevitably engage endless words in vain attempts to get a handle on them.

Why the great chain? I guess Mr Hitler was 'chained' when he realised the allies had gotten the upper hand. Was he put into a 'pit'? You betcha. Reading scripture with maturity clearly means ones understanding has left childish (immature) ways of seeing behind.

I'm certain morphing becomes inescapable. We can however choose to question. Anything with integrity will stand when it is resisted, anything without it will collapse in the coming flood.

Some folks in times gone by were at odds with the prevailing points of view; they figured they had the right method and whadaya know, the Methodists were born. Sooo, whadaya reckon non denoms will morph into? :IDK:

English and Hebrew ways of expression vary. Some familiarity of/ with this goes a long way in understanding intention.

Jesus is the final authority. Jesus is the express image of the Father. Jesus said and did everything the Father said and did. If we miss this critical point, slavery, subordination of women, war, genocide and God knows what else becomes particularly justified by the religious when it suits...

The parables Jesus told were all metaphors; the purpose being to make a point. Would you apply your rational to Jesus parables?

Not knowing Jesus allows the focus to be diverted to anything religious that takes ones fancy. One looses/ forgets its great value, being seduced by many smooth sounding words.

Hello G_J

'imprisonment' or 'chain' are used interchangeably ...a bit like, locked door and incarceration or having a wash or a bath. Imprisonment and chain also reveal his range of movement is limited to this Earth; the territory he usurped through deception. Satan and his entourage will have time (1000...

Why the great chain? 'Great chain' is a metaphor for the inability to tempt humans because there are no humans to temp. They are either with Jesus after the second coming or they are dead. Satan's domain is now a ruined Earth.....a world where ruin and misery are the result of policies of might...

Unless one dies to self there is no fruit forthcoming. And what is fruit? Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
