Yes and the rest. Though the first time I read it I pondered on it. Its strange that some people can believe such words and others don't. See it as unreal. Like Nicodemus they question how can "a Word or the Word" be a thing. Being abstract and subjective. But I think I have more substance in...

I agree to a point. I think on That day we do believe and experience Gods presense in our hearts. But its not always as simple as we then believe all that we read. We may for various reasons stumble under lifes trials and tribulations. This is usually the times we have doubts and forget all...

I agree. In reality what looks attractive is actually what kills you. Its like the moth to the flame. But I mean to this world and our flesh natures the open road looks attractive. We are sacrificing our flesh and life in this world which the world thinks is crazy as it lives for the world...

I think for all our history up until 5 minutes ago in modern times that this has changed. But so has a number of related issues. Like getting married at all or the idea of single motherhood and having it all as an option. Cancelling men and fathers. This is all part of the same ideology. A...

I think there is some truth to this. I think the world has experimented and failed so much that some are recognising its not the answer. Then many were turned off by the abuses of the church and this became the focus. People did not trust the established church. But I think most people knew...

Thats a good question. I recall wondering sometimes if was was truely born again. That I was a sort of Christian that was still holding back somehow and had not fully been born again. Or fully saved. But I think that is part of the journey because now I see all that experience as getting to...

I heard a good sermon today about moving on as a Christian. About taking the next step in faith that God is calling us to do. How sometimes we can get stuck in our ways or are fearful of what is ahead to take the next step. The pastor used the Hebrews at the foot of Mt Sinai and before they...

The scary part is that so has the old demon of Marxism realised. As we are seeing with growing support for radical socialism. First its softened. Its free health, education, food ect. This is the lie thats appealing. But its every bit as radical and aims to overthrow the oppressors to install a...

I like Melanie Phillips she is very knowledgable on social and cultural issues. The way that she describes the liberal progressive mind and belief it seems like a religion in some ways. It has its morals or values such as the issues being championed. It is like hollywood stars virtue signalling...

I think there is a line (if you could call it that) which we cross that is purposely knowing to not heed the rebuke of the spirit. In some ways its like life. You push the limits and ignore or defy the voices inside your head telling you to stop because its no good for your health. Keep on...

Yes I was thinking about this and how it could happen. I think perhaps as part of the peace deal. Trump will slip it in the negociations I reckon. It is something most people have thought was a strange relation that the Jews cannot even have access to their own Temple mount. Thats why I think...

Yes I think so for the more radical and dedicated. Thee Christians have done the same and met in secret. But they did not plan and plot to undermine other religions or take over by force. Though there are examples this was the church destroying itself by not following its own gospel. Whereas...

It sounds like branding cattle. This was done for a similar reason and there were pretty harsh consequences for cattle rustling. I think the bible uses ideas like numbers and protection decrees. Or being branded with something as part of an agreement. Like a blood oath. Often with a sacrifice...

I think we are in a time of spiritual warfare. Ancient pagan spirits are coming back to life and exerting their presense. But at the same time Gods spirit is getting an extra dose in response. God doesn't allow evil to get away from being exposed for too long. There are also evil spirits in...

I am going to have to re read carefully what revelations says. Because all this tribulation and pre tribulation and false messiahs and prophets and anti christs and numbers of beasts is doing my head in. Paul said not to be caight up in the geneologies and political arguements. I tend to look...

I also recall Mohammad was influenced by the heresay churches that came out of the early church. Such as the Nestorians. They have devalued Christs status in one way or another and this got mixed in as well. That is why early Islam claim God has no Son. I think the Roman and Persian empires...

I think we can see this happening before our eyes. How the ongoing conflict in the middle east especially which I think represents the anti Christ in many forms. Including those in Christian western nations who side with the so called oppressed including Ismalists but also other identities that...

I find the narrow gate concept a good description of what salvation is. We are called to keep going through that narrow gate when the open road seems so attractive in this world. Its a sacrifice and its hard. This seems to be the destinction that it is about being willing to persevere through...

I don't understand this whole false Messiah and dAnti Christ. I mean I understand that this is to happen as part of prophesy and even see some of the signs of the changing season. But I cannot understand who or how the false messiah, prophet and ant-Christ will happen. To my mind I see these...

That is why it is the only way. If its unpopular then its a sign its the right way as todays idea of Gods kingdom is everything to do with making the here and now the measure of Gods kingdom. I look at it simply. Though it is not simple to do according to this world. That is the more you have...
