God became a man so that we could relate. THE Man pressed the flesh.....he identified with our weakness and sorrows so that we could have confidence that God understands.....and although he came close to us, what did we do? Ohhhhh the shame of it!

The disciples had hurdles to overcome in their perception and understanding of Messiah. It never occurred to them that their premise and therefore expectations were out of line. Is it any wonder they scratched their heads to Jesus' words and behaviour? It just never followed the expected...

Why Does the Savior Need to Be Both God and Man? hmmmm, I guess because it would hard to relate to an elephant.

When Jesus washed his mates feet I don't think it was something he practised any more than breathing is practiced. Washing others feet was the natural unconscious extension of who he was. Have you ever wondered whether Jesus went to funerals where he didn't intervene?

I'd say many who think they are going to Heaven wont....and it's because of their tight fisted attitude towards others. 'what you have done to the least, you have done it to me'.....Jesus

Hypostatic Dilemma - Do you have one? I looked in my bits and bobs but couldn't find one. What do you need it for?

Is God a humanitarian? Hmmm, what other options are there?

I sit here shaking my head as I read your miserable understanding and subsequent interpretation of the Prophecies quoted. These are nevertheless your understanding and not that of a paradigm which emanates from knowing Jesus.

Any scene in a church that you describe above is no doubt madness. It's an embarrassment to the witness of the Gospel.

Here is the relationship.... God's energies are bent in communicating his character, precisely because men have a faulty understanding of it....and what's more, they insist on maintaining a faulty understanding. The Gospel communicates good news and the purpose of tongues is to do exactly the...

I would say 'other tongues' is primarily the message of the Gospel. It is a different message to anything heard by the people of that day. In the same vane, we today can also speak in 'other tongues' to the general narrative of the times. ....and what is the general narrative of the times? Is...

'Blood' ole mate, is representative of life, just as you quoted Leviticus 17:11. Jesus gave his life. He gave it, it was not taken from him. He gave it willingly. John 10:18 'No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the...

We are broken people, some more than others, either physically or mentally or spiritually, yet we are loved with an everlasting love. In other words, God's tenderness towards us does not run out. Repentance is about realising the futility of disfunction and choosing to want it better than it...

It does. Would a similar question be 'what is the appropriate and correct interpretation of scripture? Are the two questions connected at the hip? ....and secondly, God asked Moses after he kicked up a fuss about not being able to speak well, 'who do you think made man's mouth?', in other...

Satan's claim was that God was selfish. Everything God wanted he made with a word. The only way Satan could be disproven was to allow men and devils to throw their worst at him. If God was selfish he would surely retaliate in some violent form .....so God humbles himself and becomes a man so...

I speak in tongues, two to be precise but I usually only use one. However, what I speak is for the purpose of glorifying my Saviour and yours. When the boys spoke at Pentecost, what was it they spoke? well, it tells us they spoke of the wonderful works of God. It emphasises the subject...

There is much I could say re your post here BL. However, it will suffice that I comment on one item of your post, the underlined, 'show his glory to defend himself' This might surprise you; Jesus did show his glory on Calvary's cross and it did defend him. It verified the nature of God and...

hello, what happens after the 'hi'?

Yeah, well, the figuring process takes time. It's just too easy and tempting to draw conclusions with insufficient info. / knowledge Using your description of Peter, I can confidently say God does not hold a person's natural disposition against them....particularly dumbo's....of which I'm grateful.
