Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church? lock-step is the sister product of thread lock. The hardware store has it but using it on soft ware....like my heart makes this brown duck a dull duck.

what lessons do you think?

The Way God HAS ALWAYS Revealed The Truth. I once heard it was through a donkey. Does he still do that?

It appears that 'iniquity' has a religious face.

Whether Israel builds a temple or not is irrelevant. Focusing on this become a smokescreen and eclipses that which really matters. Jay, I can see your paradigm is set to interpret as you do, however I feel you have missed the main thrust of scripture when it comes to marrying OT prophecies and...

Do you understand what that package of decorations and tree represent and have been adopted from Deb?

hello Fred

You have access to our conversation. Go back, read from post #181 to get context.

Jesus says to some 'I never knew you' even when they thought they knew him. Matthew 7:22-23 It appears that whatever they thought they knew of Jesus didn't resonate with Jesus. These same folk parade a litany of works which they thought qualified them as knowing him. Does this mean they never...

DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN? Does the belief that pigs fly mean they can?

How it works is a mystery to me....but so are computers and so is DNA....and so is electricity and so is...... When I hear in Jesus dying words after I have driven in the nails, 'I am especially fond of you' I am brought to my knees with tears. I do not understand the depth of this fondness but...

No, I'm not vegetarian, I eat vegetarians.....from time to time!

Jesus is the whole truth of God. His Glory will be brought to the consciousness of all mankind in an unprecedented way. It will outshine the Sun just as the Sun outshines a candle. Religion is squaring up to be in direct opposition to this revealing by masquerading as a solution/ real deal. It...

God's government in a sense is a democracy. Its citizens vote for who will rule them. Satan set himself up in opposition and managed to persuade a goodly number of angels to his way of seeing and who they preferred as their ruler (1/3?). God did not snuff them out. What if Satan had persuaded...

Yes.

I can see you are an intelligent person Carl.....and yes you have misunderstood....and it appears deliberately so because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Self sacrificing. Jesus gives his LIFE for the recalcitrant. This is how God is.....self sacrificing, humble, long-suffering (meaning it never ends) It does not mean, ok, I've been patient long enough but now the hammer's coming down, idea. God's glory as stated earlier is his humility, his...

Do you eat meat Deb?

Those who get the Character of God, the character maligned for millennia and made to appear as an extension of fallen man's desires, recognise that Jesus is its personification and desire to emulate it. It is Satans studied intent to sideline, to distract, to misrepresent the glorious character...

The fact is Carl, you ramble on while my contribution is but a squeak....yet in this case, when I participate and try to flesh out conclusions drawn, you don't like the input and use 'returning to topic' as an excuse to avoid addressing questions asked.
