    Another projection! I wonder where projections originated?

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    It is interesting you presume so much about my judgements when I haven't even commented on the Genesis 15 story of Abraham you introduced from left field, into the discussion. .....but this is your style Hidden. You introduce a text with the assumption you can divert from the subject at hand. I...

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    I don't believe God sends deceiving or lying spirits even though the scripture says he did. 1 Kings 22:21-23 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “‘By what means?’ the Lord asked. “‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his...

    Acts 7:51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    Assuming argument (that which you call engagement) is the path to righteousness, only leaves one with a head full of pride, empty pockets and a heart which hates.

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    All I can say Hidden, there are questions you have not asked or do not want to ask and assumptions born from what you refuse to understand. It births accusations which propel you to 'travelling land and sea to make a single convert.......'. However, persuasion is not brought about by arms being...

    Jack, I have laboured with your insistence on misrepresentations and left field statements for a good while now. The relentless senseless repetition you engage on this matter has clinched the decision to leave you to them.

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    Yes, I'm aware the scripture has these texts. The question I ask myself is, who is it that holds the trump card on how I am to perceive God's nature/ character?. The deciding factor is what the voice from the cloud on the Mt of Transfiguration told Peter, James and John. Here they were, Jesus...

    What is it about those scriptures that get your attention Lizbeth? Is it the idea that God kills and gives life, hates and loves?...arbitrarily?.....because he is the Boss?

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    God is not the killer/ destroyer. Deceived mankind who have believed their father, think they will get a better deal by lying, stealing, killing and destroying. (John 10:10) They will finally be mentally and emotionally bankrupt and will desire death to the torment of that realisation. It is...

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    I'm reminded of Jesus words, 'the days are coming when those who kill you will think they are offering God service' So I ask myself, mahhhh, what are a few misrepresentations of my posts.....it's just noise in an attempt to make folk feel better in their own skin......nothing in comparison.

    Turn it any way you want Hidden, what can not be escaped from is that slow train coming.

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    It's noteworthy that I considered you in the same vane as these guys above. No doubt the last day will reveal who qualifies as wheat and who as tares.

    If ever there was a deflection, you have embraced it.

    Your reply appears to me as if you haven't heard a thing I've said.

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    Yes, you are wrong in your observations. Contextually you have shown yourself uninterested in hearing explanations. You have lobbed yourself into the same camp as Jack in that regard. Denial only serves your inability to want to know what you refuse to hear.....and so you remain stuck.....all...

    Need Joy

    Joy is robbed when one forgets that God gave us two ears and one mouth.

    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    I see the expression 'slow train coming' has left an impression whether you like it or not. My guess is your constant reinforcement of it, either in jest or mocking will only etch it further into your consciousness.

    So there you go again Hidden, putting your shame on intentional display
