    My personal eclectic view

    2 Corinthians 1:20 'For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.' Understanding the above and how it applies is critical. Without it we interpret with a blinkered view, inevitably arriving at faulty...

    Is it biblical? - What does that even mean?

    The appeal to biblical or unbiblical is a decoy/ smokescreen to obscure Jesus ......and flatter the person appealing. It is used to underscore forgone conclusions as if they are unquestionable.....like the Jewish leaders who condemned Jesus.

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    ...and the rest of the Universe is meant to be praising God while this is going on for eternity? Only delusion would subscribe to that.

    What's More Important Than Escaping ETERNAL Hell Fire?

    Our choices are made. We either have Good News to share to a hurting World or we advise them with threats of the worst kind under the delusion of 'pulling them out of the fire' How is anyone ever pulled out of the fire by threats.

    FEAR OR LOVE

    I think the word 'fear' can be and is used in the context of respect, particularly in the OT. In the case of of Matthew 10:28 I ask, who is it that kills? John 10:10 tells us who kills and Hebrews 2:14 tells us who it is that has the power of death In the NT we have the identifier of who it is...

    FEAR OR LOVE

    talons remark below I think Hell is progressive. Ultimately it is death where the soul has destroyed itself (the seeds of sin have grown and born fruit) Hell is a description of that outer darkness; that black hole; everything that loves and practices a lie and by its very nature implodes. We...

    FEAR OR LOVE

    First of all I think dismissing the word 'should' is a smart thing. 'Should' always assumes it knows, when in fact it is just manipulative. Secondly, there is nothing attractive about fear for this brown duck but I am aware that slabs of inhabitants get off on fear. The film industry exploits...

    Some Difficulties Understanding

    It is letting Jesus' behaviour towards men inform all 'theological' conclusions, not letting 'theological' conclusions inform you about Jesus. It means a new look or way of seeing the accounts we have in the OT re the barbarity attributed to God, whether its the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Demon present themselves as people who have died. They propagate theories which inevitably divert from the Saviour, even denigrate him. The story of 'Samuel' appearing to Saul is one such account of demons manifesting as the departed dead. It is also for this reason that witchcraft was forbidden...

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    Deconstruction is a phenomena occurring in many individuals in all cultures. People are raised with certain views and at some time in their lives these things are questioned. The 60's hippie movement was non other than a deconstruction phenomena.

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    The belief that life continues after death of the body, is full of conjecture and contradiction. The danger of embracing this belief is that Satan can and does use it to deceive. Spiritualism is none other than folk thinking they are contacting the departed dead when in fact it is demons...

    ISIS tells Christians they can "spare their blood" if they convert

    ISIS tells Christians they can "spare their blood" if they convert Well that's generous of them, they'll convert and give their blood. I didn't know that ISIS was an acronym for 'Instant Satisfaction In Service'

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Didn't you know that air conditioning and pressure equalising sensors.....including park benches, are all part of the internal workings of big fish? :hmhehmhmmx1: Edit...why, the other day when I opened one up, the hobo on the park bench offered me a swig of his whiskey!
