    What do I think of that take?.....sounds like a typical Pharisaical rambling.

    What it comes down to Hidden is what you tell the world at large. Do you give them good news or good advice? Good News in this context is a past tense proclamation.....what God has done 'Good' advice on the other hand insists people jump through certain hoops before access to the prize. ....what...

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    Read the texts again....ALL are in Christ.....there is no condemnation. You are supposing that some are not in Christ. Do you also suppose that some are not in Adam? 1 Corinthians 15:22 All are in need of Good News....and as I recall the angels on Bethlehem's hills saying in Luke 2:10 'Fear...

    Your misrepresentations of my words Hidden, leave me with no confidence of your ability for integrity.

    The Good News is for the whole progeny of Adam. 'As in Adam all die, so in Christ will all be made alive'. 1 Corinthians 15:22 All people are gifted life in Jesus in spite of the death inherited through Adam. What comes out in the wash is that not all people will want to align themselves with...

    All are called and chosen of which Judas serves as an example. These called, these chosen have judged the God of Grace unworthy of their company. In other words it is they who have rejected God; they have determined their own destiny by their own hand.

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    I think he created us in his image because he desires friends and friendship....which I guess is a privilege over other creations. I mean, servants don't have the same status as children let alone any talk of inheritance. Jesus tells us in John 15:15 'I no longer call you servants, because a...

    An admission of what is true does not equate with allegiance to it.

    I have the view that sin has no cause. According to 1 John, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

    Where does consciousness reside?

    I clipped my toe nails the other day, spat some saliva, trimmed my beard and blew my nose, now I'm only part of the man I used to be!

    Say hi to these 200 ex-Muslims

    Say hi to these 200 ex-Muslims hmmmm, those deportees blamed for American societal breakdown? :Broadly:

    Be like little children

    Tell me more about the attributes of little children which Jesus draws our attention to? I wonder why he didn't direct our attention to the learned, the studied and those with bold confidence in exegeting the scriptures?

    Do you think God wants servants or friends?

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    God's 'bossness' so to speak is not the superimposition that man project onto him. It is the superimposition, the one which many falsely claim is the real deal, which makes me bristle. Even in the face of his incarnation, his sojourn, his submission to being murdered and his resurrection, he is...

    Hmmmm, what to do today

    Another option is to visit the 'Babylonian' quarter and share with them that their sins are forgiven?

    Humility is a quality that doesn't speak of itself. When it does, it becomes questionable as being humility.....particularly when it is measured as 'enough humility'. Humility is like pregnancy; you either are or you aren't. Speaking of one's own humility is nothing short of ego off the rails.

    Projections, projections, projections......with no ability to discern the pattern.
