The problem isn't 'my blindness', it is your willingness to refuse to consider a rebuke.

I hope you work it out right. Kindness does no violence neither does love and the lack of violence does not mean one is passive.

The Kingdom of God exists now in the values held by God's people; values that reflect those Jesus lived and spoke of while he sojourned with us.....and yes, God's kingdom is also future, ie when these mortal bodies we currently walk around in are changed and given immortality. Jesus submitted...

The US of A has for decades exported its 'democracy'. It has put forward an image of the ideal society even while invading other countries and forcing them to bow the knee. This has become clear to the rest of Earth's citizens what the nature of this beast is even while giving lip service to...

I don't know, all these externals. They seem very suspect coming from a Nation which attempts to hone its image at every turn. God doesn't care for image. He see the heart, dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow.

Engaging foolishness is hardly wise. Let the religious thrash around in foolish yada yada, it adds nothing to the wise, their silence testifies to the pointless wallowing seen as spiritual engagement .

round 435 was it?

It's ok Jack, we understand your deficit and the broken record on perpetual repeat!

Paradigm Wrangler, paradigm! When it's faulty, fault becomes the overseer of interpretation.

Ahhhhh! Wanna know what's happening in your country? Here's a view (for the courageous to see) that is hard to swallow for many.
