    The point is, we know that if we are hot or cold, we are not false, because false at best can only be lukewarm (perceiving?)

    Hi there, So yes, there is a simple calculation you can make on the basis of the choice the Lord gives the Lukewarm Church (Revelation 2). It goes like this: 1) Are you hot or cold? If yes, then you know you have a greater definition than the Lukewarm Church If no, then the question is 2)...

    Is the Antichrist all that unique?

    Yes but you will be tested for believing this, not untested?

    The life in Jesus, is like a new leaf! (growing?)

    Hi there, So I just realised that the words Jesus spoke about new wineskins - that you don't put new wine into old wineskins - applied to Jesus facing the cross. Jesus didn't try to put the old Jesus on the Cross, but tried to put the new Jesus on the Cross. This is a marvelous thing to me...

    What is the sin, when you are trying to force God's Hand? (conceit?)

    I did it! I reread what I wrote and thought about it some more - and I realised I wasn't thinking consciously about God (I was trying to come to Him unconsciously). It might seem like a fickle thing, but if you come to God unconsciously you don't have the benefit of staying making sense. I...

    Is the Antichrist all that unique?

    It's actually wrong to approach the anti-christ, unless you have a faith of your own (that you can keep to yourself). If you are near the edge of a cliff and people are falling off, but one of them turns around and says "don't come any further!" do you approach him to make it (what he said)...

    What is the sin, when you are trying to force God's Hand? (conceit?)

    Hi there, So look, the thing is I have a very peculiar relationship to God. I'm of the opinion that God is reserving judgment, until He sees what I am doing and then He is leaving me out of the difference (that I make?). Because I feel nervous, I try to get God to play His Hand, because I feel...

    Is it true history repeats until we learn from our mistakes?

    I think in terms of the faith, we can have confidence that the world will repeat history less and less the wrong way (because our confidence is in God).

    Just repeat, the faith! (you don't need to reinvent the wheel?)

    Hi there, So I have worked out that: I believe what you do! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Jesus died once for all, and rose from the dead. The Grace of God abounds in the acceptance within, of what Christ did on the cross. There is no need for a new faith. There is no need for a new...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    Reality is what you dream, when you dream of reality (selah)

    Opinion please

    I don't know what you call it, but I had the desire to cut my body up into pieces, but when I went to the doctor they said "no, we are not cutting you up"

    Is it true history repeats until we learn from our mistakes?

    I think the correct statement is "we would like to repeat history, until we learn from it" That said, I think God encourages us to learn from history - there are common tropes throughout history: a messenger, a chosen one, a sacrifice, a mercy, a resurrection. Each stage renews Mankind in a...

    Do you not understand that what goes into the body, goes into the stomach, and is eliminated? (Jesus!)

    You have to remember, that currently doctors will tell you "you have become mentally ill" because "a chemical imbalance is in you" - that is telling someone that they are sick because of what they have allowed to enter them. That is wrong. If they said "you are mentally unwell because you keep...

    Do you not understand that what goes into the body, goes into the stomach, and is eliminated? (Jesus!)

    Maybe it makes you temporarily sick, if you have doubts, but not permanently sick - the Spirit will not permit it. What does Jesus say "you will worship in spirit and in truth", maybe we get sick in truth but not in spirit as you say, but there is nothing that prohibits you from getting well in...

    Do you not understand that what goes into the body, goes into the stomach, and is eliminated? (Jesus!)

    Hi there, So just taking inspiration from Jesus, it is evident that eating disease does not make us sick. If eating disease made us sick, Jesus would have said "be sure that you do not eat disease, for it will kill you". No! Nothing passing into the body, into the stomach, does anything but get...

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    Being fearfully and marvellously made, can never be made to date (selah)

    Wise under the Law

    Death is wise, in the eyes of the Law (selah). I don't understand what the contention of this thread is: not being chosen by the bridegroom is like dying?

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    The thing to remember is that God does not just want new converts or mature believers, He wants both.

    Trouble with self-esteem?

    You don't have to be like someone to be kind to them; and you don't have to keep being kind to be liked (selah)

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    God created, by faith. Genesis establishes that that "faith", took time.

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    In a similar vein to the notion of an Evolutionary buildup, there is a sense in which passing on incomplete Evolutions, along with Evolution of a particular species grants the organism more novel ways in which to reinvent Evolution. I believe it is possible to reinvent Evolution, that's why we...
