    The Works of the Law

    I think 'works of the law' is anything which focuses your reality on what you do, how you do it and why you do it

    Thought Traps?

    Would the intent of the scriptures come into that category?

    Unequally Yoked

    At breakfast I noticed one egg was bigger than the other. There was also colour variation and blow me down, content. I think I need to speak to the chickens about their yokes.....no more unequally joking....I mean, yoking!

    Deconstruction Lite - (light?)

    Deconstruction is a good principle in the face of and because of much that is learned/ programmed misses the mark. The multiple combinations of what has integrity and what doesn't is in our faces all through our lives. That being said, the deconstruction process is also a precarious business. It...

    Solomon and Sheba: Harmless fiction?

    It happens. Falsification of history, falsification of God, of Jesus, of anything you can think of. Falsification are the building blocks of this World. Why be surprised?

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    We bumble through accompanied by limited view, some unconsciously, some deliberately.

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    Law is only required when there a violation of love/ trust. It is a 'primitive' method to keep 'children' from chaos. Law is better than chaos but love is better than law. Do angels commit adultery? Do angels dishonour their parents? Do angels forget the Sabbath? Do angels take God's name in...

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean? Opening the heart/ entering a reality heretofore unknown.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    The tragedy is you don't understand the implications of your own words. You do not realise that the evidence comes from your own pen!

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    Ignorance and cock-sureness insisted on will surely bite you in the bum! You mightn't see it now but that's how the principle works.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    All of us will at some stage face or will face temptations tailored to our reality at different times and circumstances. If one is aligned with error, the ability to even recognise the temptation let alone resist it will be at a distinct disadvantage. Jesus' story of the sheep and the goats...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    It very well is...and you can be certain, these concepts absorbed and justified will render you defenceless in the day of trial. Indeed, the day of trial will take on a face unrecognised.

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    God's Temple, the core of which was The Ark..... For those with ears to hear this presentation by C.S. Lewis, it might stimulate those eternal taste buds?

    BEWARE OF THE SPIRITUALIZERS HERE

    Understanding scripture as a spiritual document does not mean one is spiritualising it in the sense used by those who feel interpretation of everything must be literal. The term 'spiritualising' is used by short sightedness which wants to nullify insight into anything disagreed with.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    You have overlayed heathen concepts onto the scripture and because you do not want to acknowledge that fact you say I am rejecting scripture. Your position is like a counterfeiter insisting their counterfeit productions are the genuine article.

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    God's Word is Jesus. The scriptures point to Jesus. Glorify the pointer and you have a misplaced emphasis resulting in an inability to see intent.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    Davy, you can do your dance this way or that way, it doesn't change the fact that the idea of man's immortality has come from the heathen playbook.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    I think these views are a fantasy; an incorrect understanding of words and their purpose. It's like the word 'death'. This word is deliberately distorted to mean a transition to an afterlife of some sort.....while the fantasy goes on.

    Do people seem to run away from you?

    Second guessing others only creates problems in your own head and well worth getting a handle on. If they are second guessing you, addressing it with them if they are open to it is one way of getting some sort of clarity. Either way Fluffy, let your yes be yes and your no be no.

    Difficult marriage

    Sounds tough Chris. I don't think I'd put up with what you've described and definitely wouldn't go down the road of placating her with gifts ....if that's what you hope to achieve.
