    Do you believe that God deliberately encircles people in disobedience?

    Do you believe that God deliberately encircles people in disobedience? Selfishness, self absorption and covetousness have been handed down to mankind genetically since Adam's fall. These miserable qualities were not in Adam when he came from the hands of his Creator because we are told he was...

    Have you ever been a counselor of God? Who was God's counselor?

    The ask, seeks and knocks Jesus is referring to is about an accurate understanding of his Fathers character. With that understanding comes 'rewards' like peace, inner security, a sound mind/ mental health etc. Jesus is not saying if you ask seek and knock you'll get the Ferrari, the Woman or any...

    Selfishness is the cause of our sin.....and the judgement of others is one of its fruits.

    Of a certainty, deception will include that which is outside the awareness of many......even that of popular theological opinions.....or could it be particularly that of popular theological opinions? My guess is a narrow gate and a rocky lonely trail will not qualify as popular......even with...

    My heart goes out to Kayla in her struggles. If my heart goes out, does not God's heart go out also.....or is my compassion greater than his? Pray continually we are encouraged to do, for ourselves, for each other and for our enemies. Does that mean we tell God what he should be doing?

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Yes I said the above Jack, but what you are hearing is that I am denying the LITERAL flood. Check your own statement in post #139

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    I have no problem affirming the LITERAL flood, Jack. It appears to me you have a deficit of hearing what I am and have always said.

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    What do I believe? 'Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of...

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    No doubt they can't and don't soberxp but faith is an amazing 'tool'. It gives us access to God's way of seeing. It accesses his promises with surety, ie without doubt..... irrespective of the volume of our understanding. It allows the 'babe' the same confidence as the 'mature'. As we hear and...

    Testimony Of Faith & Suffering ✝️

    Thank you for your story Nakul. A perspective is always helpful, it gives me a flesh and blood face I can relate to. I have found encouragement and growth in several places over the years the latest of which is a podcast in dialog form which I access on you tube. If you are interested here is...

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Daniel? The Apostles? Those named in Hebrews 11? Is it thought they will be surprised, ie do not know?.....and all those whose trust has been in their Saviour.....instead of their theologies?

    What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now?

    What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now? I'm constantly considering the weather.....whether or not I will respond to certain posts! Some are just too clever and some are not clever enough...at least in my estimation. The clever ones are those who presume to know more than...

    Do we assume God does not know Kayla's situation? Do we presume to tell God what he needs to do as if he didn't know? Do we assume that using a 'magic formula' like 'in Jesus name' will twist God's arm to do our bidding?

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Could it be that those who deliberately insist on misunderstanding and whose ears are closed will go where there thought others would go?

    Assisted dying

    God heals the sick, he doesn't make them sick. Any sickness attributed to God is mans imposition. Didn't you know there is a Devil who disguises himself as God? Didn't you know that the Devil shifts his responsibility onto God and persuades men to believe him? Haven't you seen Jesus in action as...

    God authors life not death. Jesus is evidence of this.

    The writer of these accounts namely Moses attributed these events as God being responsible. I think he was in error. Fast forward to Jesus. When Jesus said, 'you have heard said etc etc but I say unto you blah blah blah', he was altering the truth of the information they had heard. As an...

    Should we as Christians support the State of Israel ?

    I think men have formulated a theology around faulty assumptions. These theologies become so all encompassing, more and more faulty positions are established to attempt to justify them.

    Does God really end peoples lives Bob? I'm of the understanding it is the Devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy.
