My ego tells me it's important. My spirit tells me, let it go. My spirit and my ego do battle regularly. My ultimate objective is to take/ make every thought captive by the Spirit of God, allowing his Kingdom to reign in my heart.

It was written to Jewish Christians who were reverting back to Judaism. I was written using the understanding they had re the sacrificial system to show them that Jesus was the innocent who was killed by the guilty.

Tell me why the letter was written to the Hebrews.

I'm not sure if it is clear to you why the letter was written to the Hebrews?

I'll attempt to answer. We (humanity embodied and represented by the religious elite and the secular institution) demanded and extracted a price and that price was death....the death of Jesus........and wonder of wonders, he allowed us to extract....and he willingly paid......because he...

what was the price and who was it paid to?

I think we (Christianity/ Christians) have assumed wrongly and therefore have asked the wrong questions. Asking 'if Jesus needed to die' is one of those questions if I might be so bold as to say so. Jesus died because we killed him....we killed him because his purity and generosity were an...

What others do/ think/ believe Hobie, is their business. When I leave their business in their court I am not burdened with what isn't my business. I leaves me free to love them and work on my own flaws. :)

When one loves, one become vulnerable to exploitation. God gave men free choice and that free choice was used to kill Jesus. God allowed it because he 'honoured' mens ability and right to choose just as he allows men to slaughter and drop bombs on each other. God does not orchestrate it. God...

I think it is safe to replace the word love which Paul uses in 1 Corinthians 13 with God. 1 John tells us that God is love and Paul defines love. We assume God keeps a record of wrongs because we assume that God will judge us, ie, he will find all the bad bits and do something about it as if he...

You asked this question... subsequently my question...

ask, seek and knock directly to/ from the source.....then you will know.

The resurrected Jesus is present; I am in contact with him all day every day. Just as in kindness Jesus didn't reveal himself after his resurrection to those who orchestrated and murdered him, so too with those who dismiss his resurrected reality. Jesus said, 'ask and it will be given, seek...

God knew what was going to happen but he came anyway. He knew that 'his own' (John 1:11) would murder him yet he submitted to his executioners .....even spoke to his Father for them. (Luke 23:34) The night before, Jesus prayed in Gethsemane. You might refresh your memory of this prayer (John...

It is clear, you have yet to see Jesus!

In fact, you didn't ask why. What is it you are trying to extract or say?

Ahhhh Rabbi, what is the obsession with the obedience of others? You ask me a question about obeying Jesus and I answered it.....and yet it is not enough for you. I wonder if you assume a 'greater' obedience.....or is it some other factor.....perhaps that of hoop jumping?

Yes. John 6:29 'Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.' Check the context.

Who did we owe a debt to if God holds no record of wrongs? 1 Corinthians 13:5

do we have a broken record here?
