A misconception of the character of God.

the bible Look at how the world is responding to policies in progress of being implemented. What does it tell you?

could you put your response to what I've said into context please?

Hearing is one thing but seeing qualifies the language of hearing.

C'mon, let's see if you can nail it. Which side did the religious professionals belong to in Jesus day; the left or the right?

Your language Grailhunter is biased and so demonisation is established. If one were to point out the excesses of the other side in order to gain 'brownie points' it would be the same story. The problem is, when views are sacralised one looses objectivity. This is evidenced in the blame game ie...

No, I'm not taking about that. Let's take the Religious Leaders in Jesus day; which do you think they'd fit into, the right or the left? (as we would describe the political foray today?)

Any ideology which one doesn't like gets demonised, put down, ridiculed and labeled adversely. That's where the energy is spent....blaming. Surely that tells us something? If one is willing to put the other down, self is backhandedly elevated. What a clever trick to 'hide' one's self focused...

There is the right and there is the left. Which of those two trumpet 'responsibility'? Which of those two have an image to uphold? .....and what does that image look like? In Jesus time, who we lump into any perceived image?

Can numbers mean than other than the sum of its digits unless it is specifically stated. For instance, as examples 7 = I week, perfection, not just 4+3 3 = unity, triune, completeness not just 1+2 10 = a cycle 666 = ? Prophecy has repeat numbers. 12 and 12x12

Love is vulnerable. It allows the will of the other in the pursuit of freedom...to its own hurt. Calvary is evidence of that. Man's will for his own destiny superseded God's will and as warned, death resulted. Now there are those today who uphold the serpents lie, 'you will not surely die'...

Wasn't it the case with Adam and Eve?

Jesus in kindness never appeared to any of his crucifiers after the resurrection. Their hearts and most likely their bowels would have given way as did Ananias and Saphira's

They give up on God....just as Judas did. God doesn't force their hand (choices)

...and to add personal experience, I know folk from my younger years that were fervent and on fire for the Gospel. I shared house with them for years. Today, I report with sadness, most have abandoned their hope. The concerns of life and status; the pursuit of riches and pleasures of this world...

hmmm, the religious folk who arranged to have him murdered. They knew who he was. The events with the Maggi and the Shepherds from his birth was widely reported....including the reasons for Herod's slaughter of the innocents. Jesus in the Temple at age 12 debating with the leaders. The voice at...

There are plenty who consistently refuse the prompting of the Spirit though the Spirit tries repeatedly to break through throughout their lifetime....and then there are those like Judas who abandon their hope and betray the Lord who saved them. The scripture collectively calls them 'The World'...

Are you familiar with the history of Germany in the 1930's Deb and how Hitler came to power?

Let's not forget to factor in the fact that many will refuse the life secured for them by Jesus, deliberately. They will refuse it not because it's not accessible or freely given but because of their own stubborn incalcitrance. God's unspeakable generosity is an affront to them. They insist God...

Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism? Ahhh, 'Universal'.....such a poorly qualified term! Does it include other creations not of this Earth? and does the generally understood 'theological' context muddy the waters so that those religiously inclined have plenty of...
