'Leading to Christ'! and afterwards, what role is assumed? Could it be that what is led to is anything but Christ? Could it be that seed sowing means wearing a tuxedo and polished shoes as one walks the furrows .....expecting to take up the scythe immediately for a harvest? or does seed sowing...

hmmm, well according to Jack, democracy has got hairs on it and publicans can peddle as much alcohol (mind numbing) as can be consumed....ahhh, I mean re publicans. :ummm: It seems I've found myself outside the fold of the 'faithful'. Am I to sign up to their varying mantras? I do not smoke Nor...

Is there any mint and cumin left not tithed?

Delusion will consume you Jack. At least have the courage to be honest with yourself!

It is possible to find fault infinitum; our default relishes it .....but to what end? Will we ever draw one person to the Saviour by finding fault. I'm reminded of 1 Corinthians 13:5 ....'love holds no record of wrongs' Man! that ought to blow the socks off all of us.

You see black, Jack even when white stares you in the face! You see punishment when Grace overflows. You see misery when joy welcomes you. Wake up Jack!

You can be certain your own evaluation is a mile behind. No doubt you recall Jesus saying to get the log out of your own eye before the splinter in your brother's? He's saying this because those attempting to get the splinter out of their brother's eyes are oblivious to the log in their own.

I grow both ginger, galangal and turmeric by the bucket load. It grows easy with little or no maintenance in the tropics. I just stick the pieces in the ground and away they go. Initially they need water but once the root is established it hangs on. All this is going on while they compete with...

Jack, I think this attached presentation is tailored for you. Please make the effort and take the time to watch it. https://www.rediscoveringgod.ca/post/212-the-apparently-angry-arbitrary-god

Evil destroys itself. It has in it the seeds of its own demise just like cancer untreated will kill its victim.

Understanding the scriptures is as much the leading of God's Spirit as it is reading the words. Because Israel through history had certain ideas about God they inevitably wrote from their cultural paradigm. Jesus shifted that paradigm. When he made statements like 'you have heard it said blah...

Translating from ancient texts is tricky because the vocabulary in Hebrew has considerably less words to utilise than English. Also a translator translates through their bias.....as do we. Sooo, if and when a paradigm is unknowingly faulty, complex texts or texts which are not clear because of...

No need to give up, just be reasonable and acknowledge the truth of the matter when its in your face.
