    Why I'm NOT a Christian. - Or so they say...

    I think seeing enables kindness; that's its marker; kindness even to those who are unkind (the darker dark glass view). Unkindness is identified as finger pointing, blaming, accusation, judgement and entitlement. It is the default of the natural man.....even in the spiritual realm where 'born...

    Why I'm NOT a Christian. - Or so they say...

    My question, 'how is the darker glass viewer Identified and how is the lighter glass viewer identified?' pertains more to behaviour than to intellect. Doing a head job (meaning, the pursuit of debate) is hardly a qualification when it comes to the coal face of relating (behaviour) I think there...

    Why I'm NOT a Christian. - Or so they say...

    I guess the glass one sees through, irrespective of how enlightened one considers oneself to be, is darker for some than for others. ....so we can ask, how is the darker glass viewer Identified and how is the lighter glass viewer identified?

    Adding--WITHOUT--Adding to Scripture

    This is a confused babble, Scott!

    Adding--WITHOUT--Adding to Scripture

    ...and where do we start? Surely it is, 'your sins are forgiven'! To KNOW this is to live in freedom.....and freedom does not require the debating of words.

    Adding--WITHOUT--Adding to Scripture

    If the 'elementary principles of Christ' were understood, the exercise of debating words would not be engaged.

    I see you attempt analysis yet draw incorrect conclusions.

    I guess matters of trust are minor issues for you.

    Why did I become a Christian? and witness of holy spirit

    We are not under obligation to keep any laws Debp, but know that there are consequences both good or bad resulting from our decisions. Re laws:- If you cheat you can be certain it's going to be hard to find friends; if you put drugs into your body long enough good health and longevity will be...

    Money Matters

    Do we conclude that Jesus was concerned with these things below? No doubt his disciples were in their early years with Jesus. Where are we getting our next meal? How will we pay for the roof over our head? How will we pay the doctor's bill? How will we live when we are too old to work? I...

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH

    WOMEN AREN'T TO SPEAK IN TONGUES IN THE CHURCH If you're a babbler, then cut it. If you can't or don't want to, then at least shut up in the meeting of God's people.

    Why did I become a Christian? and witness of holy spirit

    I guess we are free to do whatever we choose. The question is, what is it that we choose? Don't you think God gave those dietary laws in Leviticus 11 for the purpose of maximising the people's ability to have healthy bodies and sharper minds? You no doubt have heard the saying, 'you are what...

    Trump has abandoned America First

    The protracted mentioning of his own name in this blurb ....even in jest, does reveal his entrenched narcissism....and the continued practice of lying.....which he thinks is funny.

    The Bliss of Religious Homeostasis - Don't Rock the Boat

    Being put out takes different forms. It can be extreme like overt shunning practised in different circles or it can be more subtle like not being notified when new posts appear on a subject commented on. Yes, yes, I know there are lots of excuses, however observation across the spectrum over...

    Why the great chain?

    It's a metaphor for movement being restricted to a desolate earth where there are no nations to deceive because all inhabitants are dead .

    The Bliss of Religious Homeostasis - Don't Rock the Boat

    If a person is prone to distance themselves because I ask questions, it is to their loss. I will know the score re their lack of curiosity, their unhealthy ego....and frankly, I leave them to their choices. If it gets that bad the tribe puts me out, I guess I pack my bags and go. If the boat...

    what happens when holy spirit comes upon you ?

    God meets us where we are. He meets us when our understanding of him is way off track. His Sprit will guide us to where he wants us to be. He will show you Jesus because Jesus is the full revelation of God. If we do not resist by insisting on our own way, he will open our understanding.

    what happens when holy spirit comes upon you ?

    The Holy Spirit lives in our consciousness (our mind). He directs us towards Jesus. John 16:13-14 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will...
