Even the demon possessed were healed. I wonder if they did it with medication?

The medication epidemic prevalent keeps certain players flush with money while the populace is duped. Healthy eating, drinking, thinking and relationship is degraded by what is mistakenly understood as food (physically, mentally, spiritually)

Hebrews 11:1 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' Faith is the resonating of one's spirit with the genuine desire to know the heart of God. On the other hand, we (mankind) have the ability and permission to believe pigs fly. This is manifest in logic...

As are a troop of other adds.

I It's not complicated. Love involves the other and defers to the other. It is not a singular activity. It doesn't glorify' itself, it glorifies the other. The Father glorifies the Son, the Son glorifies the Father, the Spirit glorifies the Son. The scripture is clear on this.

Yes, things do need interpreting. Everything is worth a second look but missing the obvious is hardly discerning.

Jesus is not silent. He knows exactly how and when to speak to people in a way that they identify.......and from my experience, they are not monologues. Hebrews 4:12 'For the Word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit...

Today's point of view may not be tomorrow's point of view Deb. The witness borne by those considering themselves right are contributing factors for others finding offence at Christianity.

More convolution.

Sounds like a convoluted reply for a straightforward text.

Open your ears amigo. Just because folk don't dance to your tune doesn't mean they are rejecting Christ? It might mean they are rejecting your tune. The difference is huge.

yes

Is it thought that God relishes the idea of punishment as men do? Is it thought that he 'whips' them sufficiently till they eventually expire? Men would call this justice yet it sounds very strange to me that a One who is prepared to give his life for sinners is now turning the heat up...

hmmm, not sure what you're trying to say. The following text is pretty straight forward to me. 'And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end,'

Isaiah 9:5-7 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne...

Perhaps you could share your insights?

....and there we have the real issue.....not allowing a reasonable discussion because of the need to maintain a persecution complex.

It is valid to say Jesus died because of my sins. The expression 'for my sins' underscores that God needed a death before he can and will forgive. Jesus forgave sins because it was his disposition. Did you know that Jesus never sent anyone to the temple with a lamb to be forgiven? This...

Good on you Rod!
