That which resonates with me are the words of Jesus.

Yes, the 'church' and many who call themselves christians do make knowing God difficult but nevertheless God will use even the most improbable. Consider Balaam's donkey or Jesus reply to the religious leaders complaint on his entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, 'if these don't cry out, the very...

I don't think so but your comment does point to a condescending attitude and an inflated ego :IDK:

I guess its a different hood than worn by the KKK

Are Christians the biggest barrier to a renewed relationship with God? There are many barriers, the greatest being an unwilling heart.

I don't need to be privy to the collective yada yada of any 'in-depth' discussion in order to arrive at an accurate conclusion as a measure of right or wrong. :ummm:

It is true that terms like vipers and serpents can be understood as the deceptive nature of men but this does not exclude there being an arch deceiver known as the Devil or Satan. It is this personalised expression that Jesus is referring to in John 8, John 10 and in the visions of John's...

Im bouncing off your statement in post #27

Isn't God omnipresent? Clarity for ? Didn't the angels have clarity?....clarity about?

How do you come to that conclusion?
