Anyone with insight recognises this. Many of the stories/ parables Jesus told were fictional. They weren't intended as a history lesson. They were intended to convey certain true principles. The story circulating in our culture of 'The Emperors New Clothes' is a fictional story yet embedded in...

"Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?" Jesus is the full revelation of God. We can ask, 'why did God need to be revealed'?......and why? and of course, revealed to who? Not seeing (understanding, comprehending) Jesus...

Transformation is glorying in him, not in our transformation.

thanks for the dismissal of the question!

C'mon marks....please hear the question.

I don't think you've heard the question.

Speak to the value of following Jesus God is vindicated. All the false charges brought for millennia are nullified. The dragon has been defeated though his tail still thrashes. The inhabitants of unnumbered Worlds and angelic beings rejoice and we in our frail frames and little faith on our...

and so you have embraced and are defending the lie the Serpent told Eve. ie, 'you will not surely die'

'God's wrath' (punishment) is laid out clearly in Romans 1:18-32. Verse 24 tells us 'God gave them over'. In other words he no longer stood in the way of consequences of their choices. Punishment is consequential not an arbitrary imposition. In Eden God spoke of consequences, 'you will surely...

Misrepresentation, defensiveness and condescension is never the path to enlightenment even when, nay, particularly when the truth of a matter is laid out.

The desire of men to control God. Turn him into the physical. Isn't that the fundamental approach of heathenism?

The disciples struggled in their understanding of Jesus' purpose because their unquestioned programmed paradigm switched off their ears. Jesus called them dull. Consider how their understanding changed/ shifted in light of Jesus' resurrection. We today are also in desperate need of smarts...

yeahhh, bored or frustrated when the obviousness is masked and presented as obscure......but its hardly an accusation, rather a parallel.
