    Do we have free will or are we predestined?

    Do we have free will or are we predestined? Predestined to choose our free will in exercising appreciation for the gift given us.....or exercising our free will doing despite to the spirit of grace, trampling the Son of God underfoot.

    Unclean Lips

    Lemon juice and toothpaste for the mouth but Grace and Compassion for the head and heart. The latter absorbed cleans the mouth....even without lemon juice and toothpaste!

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    The greatness of ordinariness is only appreciated by the enlightened. Eyes that see and ears which hear are awakened to this fact. Paul puts it this way, 'But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

    Poll: What happens to faithful Christians when they die?

    What happens to faithful Christians when they die? The big word is....are you listening?....HORRIZONTAL.....just like cows and chimpanzees. In fact, there are some stages after Horizontal. If nobody has noticed, here's the heads-up. A kind of stiffness comes on and if you leave it long enough...

    Carnivore Diet & Lifestyle

    Did I say anything about vegetarianism, Pavel? Did I say anything about any Church? How have you joined the dots? HEARING Pavel, is critical if one wants understanding. If you are not aware of your assumptions, poor hearing/seeing....as you have demonstrated is inevitable.

    Many Say ‘Just BELIEVE’… But What Did JESUS Actually TEACH?

    Many Say ‘Just Believe’… But What Did Jesus Actually Teach? He taught that God was identical to himself; his words, his behaviour/ relating. He came just so that we could see the nature of God first hand. We killed him and still do but life is stronger than death and darkness will never overcome...

    What Does Christian Maturity Look Like? - "... solid food is for the mature..." - Heb. 5:14

    What Does Christian Maturity Look Like? - "... solid food is for the mature..." - Heb. 5:14 I'd say they've got good teeth, a resilient digestive system and not ashamed or hesitant to recognise waste, passing it.....into the dumpster

    When It All Starts, REMEMBER THIS

    When It All Starts, REMEMBER THIS Hmmmm. We all know the story of the frog placed in a pot while the water is being heated. It doesn't jump out because it becomes accustomed to the increasing temperature.....till it is cooked. This can be used as an analogy and I would suggest the heating of...

    Is Grace Established By Faith?

    Is Grace Established By Faith? I think Grace is established subjectively in the believers experience when and as they believe. Grace is God's quality. It is objective to us; it is God's attitude and dealings with all people. John Newtons song, 'Amazing Grace' is speaks of his realisation and...

    What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?

    My understanding is the soul is as Lambano has quoted (Genesis 2:7) ....and the spirit is the attitude, the consciousness in/ with which a person operates. At death both cease to be until called forth at the resurrection of which the scripture tells are there are two.

    Biblical Worship not a Worship Service

    I guess being held to account is uncomfortable. John the Baptist didn't loose his head for nothing. .....and egging people on to draw their own conclusions can also be uncomfortable, particularly when they are encouraged to think out side the box or in other words, introducing a paradigm which...

    Receive the HS, how today ?

    So God is beholden to the laying on of human hands before he dispenses his Spirit?

    Receive the HS, how today ?

    I don't think it matters, seer. When Jesus healed, sometimes he did it with just a word, other times put mud on the eyes and told them to wash. It is the same with the Spirit. Some people have a dramatic experience, others don't. The evidence of having the Spirit is of course a change of heart...
