Too many words AJ. What is it with the need to make so many words? Is it thought that greater insight is communicated with volume? Consider all the many words you've made in all your posts and yet none have supplied any insight to shift my view in your direction. What they have done if anything...

Jesus discourse with Nicodemus is worth a reread. There are no prerequisites including theological understandings or none at all, there are no formulas. Jesus is presented to the person, God's Spirit impacts the heart and choices are made. People may have similar experiences or different. Some...

Did you get into conversation with him about it?

I confirm a similar experience. A switch which occurred pretty much instantly (that's another story) with a continuing experience as I grew in a new understanding. I didn't ask for it, I didn't control it, however my spirit was willing and things changed in my life overnight to the surprise of...

You will confuse yourself when Jesus does not become the litmus for interpreting scripture. Christians generally have not been taught how to do this so they read and interpret the OT as if Jesus never existed. Do you know how to interpret scripture through the lens of Jesus?

What does it matter who agrees with who? Do you want to control the show? We all stand on our own when it comes to being on the ball or not.

We gotta get some glory don't we!

Did Jesus discriminate with Judas? Did Jesus wash the feet of Judas as a pretence?

Yes, we're all sinners, (removed) In our journey of discovery many errors in understanding are made and it behooves us not to cut the legs off a fellow journey man/ woman because he/she isn't in the same place we are. That said we are encouraged to have sufficient smarts to recognise when an...

What you think is deeper wisdom are only the deductions of human wisdom. To me that's uninteresting. What you consider nourishing is nothing more than a good thrash around in an ego pit. Maybe find the courage to point out your own flaws first, instead of those you deem others have?

So you can't and wont change but others need to?

Do you judge a person with Downs syndrome who smiles and dribbles too much as worthy of rejection? God knows we didn't choose to be lobbed on a sinful planet with all its attendant rebellion, illnesses, poor reasoning powers, greed and oppression.

Can you change? Will you change? Why put the spotlight on others?

I guess pharmaceutical companies are exempt from this charge!

No doubt you know that proof is not the convincing factor for most, particularly the religious. A person can win an argument but not be persuasive. So why is it that attempts to change another persons view is attempted with 'proof'? When a persons mind is made up, so to speak, not even one...

If my confidence were in anything I offered worry would consume me. My confidence is in the knowledge that I am loved and subsequently forgiven. To this I cling; of this I sing.

When there is talk of obedience what is it we actually mean? Is it the keeping of the law? What is the measure against which obedience is measured.....and how obedient are we to be?

Your position and arguments have no credibility with this brown duck! God's purposes and their manifestation in Jesus' reality have been revealed before you existed. This is now proclaimed to the whole World as good news. Your choices can not bring anything into existence except by you...

Refusing to take responsibility for your approach and hand balling it onto the bible is nothing short of chronic immaturity.

More accurately, you have an image of yourself doing this when in fact at every turn the evidence revealed in your posts is condemnation.
