and I see you feel justified in your approach!

or there can be no greater foolishness than to attribute that which is a metaphor and apply it to the wrong person The Greek name Petros (Πέτρος) means "stone" or "rock"and is the original form of the name Peter, given to Saint Peter by Jesus. It originates from the Aramaic word Kefa, meaning...

It is remarkably repetitive MD that when an enquiry is made of you for clarification, you turn the spotlight onto the enquirer by using blame as a decoy from the enquiry.

You've been asking for healing for a long time MD. Is it that God is not hearing your requests or the requests of those praying for your situation or is it that you are not in sync (hearing) God's replies? Or could it be a situation like Job's where you are blameless and it is the forces of...

I see you qualify yourself for the inability to hear. So be it!

I need to ask this question from the outset.... Can numbers be representative other than their sum of digits?

I understand your preference to debate....even that which I consider of no consequence. There are bigger fish to fry. I guess it's a question of recognising what constitutes bigger fish. What would you say qualifies for bigger fish?

As you wish. Personally, I do not consider your conclusion to be accurate. The Gospel is not the message or intent of out-manoeuvring by debate.....and refusal to be drawn on what I think are irrelevant technicalities does not constitute inability to perform.

WHAT GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD? Why a Gospel at all (good news) one might ask? Among other things it presupposes a faulty assumption exists; one that is dire. And what might that assumption be? The religions of history, ie the forces/ movements/ philosophies which drive humanity...

We can rattle on for some time about this but I don't think it's productive. It is possible to make mountains out of mole hills which I think this is. I would rather ensure that mole hills are not made into mountains.

The scripture identifies individuals by the relationships they held, (father, son, daughter, sibling) their professions or behaviour they engaged or the locations they were identified with. For example, we are told that Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived in Bethany (John 11:1-3 John 12:1-3) It...

Mary the sister of Lazarus lived in Bethany. It was Mary from Magdala who was subsequently named 'Mary Magdalene'......Magdalene being a derivative of Magdala. We can deduct from this that she was not Lazarus's sister.

You make matters more complicated for yourself than necessary. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow....Jesus revealed this.

Why shouldn't we take this scripture .... 1 Corinthians 15:50-51 'Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep; but we shall all be changed' .....as applying...

Hmmm, interesting....and something to chew on!

hmmmm, any parallel that is imagined can be drawn....and evade/ miss the real intent.....as is done with other scriptures!

WHO SHOULD WE FOLLOW? Jesus said 'follow me'. Who is it that is on track for Crucifixion?

Mary, it seems was a commonly used name for the girls. There was Mary of Magdala, Mary of Bethany, Mary the mother of Joses, Mary the mother of Jesus, etc etc. Which of these four do we suppose was the sister of Lazarus?

I have a very very interesting audio presentation (mp3) by Ty Gibson I would like to share with you Steven. I have tried to post it to this forum but it wont accept the upload. Do you have another means of it reaching you?
