It very well is...and you can be certain, these concepts absorbed and justified will render you defenceless in the day of trial. Indeed, the day of trial will take on a face unrecognised.

God's Temple, the core of which was The Ark..... For those with ears to hear this presentation by C.S. Lewis, it might stimulate those eternal taste buds?

Understanding scripture as a spiritual document does not mean one is spiritualising it in the sense used by those who feel interpretation of everything must be literal. The term 'spiritualising' is used by short sightedness which wants to nullify insight into anything disagreed with.

You have overlayed heathen concepts onto the scripture and because you do not want to acknowledge that fact you say I am rejecting scripture. Your position is like a counterfeiter insisting their counterfeit productions are the genuine article.

God's Word is Jesus. The scriptures point to Jesus. Glorify the pointer and you have a misplaced emphasis resulting in an inability to see intent.

Davy, you can do your dance this way or that way, it doesn't change the fact that the idea of man's immortality has come from the heathen playbook.

I think these views are a fantasy; an incorrect understanding of words and their purpose. It's like the word 'death'. This word is deliberately distorted to mean a transition to an afterlife of some sort.....while the fantasy goes on.

Second guessing others only creates problems in your own head and well worth getting a handle on. If they are second guessing you, addressing it with them if they are open to it is one way of getting some sort of clarity. Either way Fluffy, let your yes be yes and your no be no.

Sounds tough Chris. I don't think I'd put up with what you've described and definitely wouldn't go down the road of placating her with gifts ....if that's what you hope to achieve.

You could try sharing your perceptions regarding what you've just explained, with them.

I think it is symbolic of Jesus....The safe place as was Noah's boat also a symbol of. The lamb slain before the foundation of the World ie, the Character of God.

I suspect you are using this question to evade responsibility for how to treat your neighbour and to justify their expulsion.

I guess it's conveniently forgotten that 'Americans' are immigrants themselves who might I add with great sadness, violated the first peoples of that land mass with a barbarity akin to wild animals.....in many cases justifying it in the name of christian. (although I'm not telling you anything...

My dear, The Woman in Revelation 12 represents God's people independent of ethnicity or linage. It includes Ruth the Moabitess, Rahab from Jericho (from heathen nations) Noah and Abraham amongst many others....none of which were 'Jews'. It is through the line of those with faith that The Woman...

I can see you are proud of your self interest. It is hardly a testimony to self sacrifice! It appears the lessons Jesus taught, the principles which flow from a heart of giving is either ignored or gone right over your head while using his name to prop up your theology.

I can see convenience is a priority with your rhetoric supporting its principle. Self sacrifice is foreign when the rubber hits the road.

Me personally, I've thrown out the word 'should'.....and remind myself "I am loved, I am known by name, I am precious to him and my life is hid in Christ with God. The 'should' factor is never satisfied. It is the back door used by self condemnation, the condemnation of others and the...

....and that's how you do it Behold, create a straw man and put words in my mouth. Why are you trying to trap me?

There is no warping at all Behold. The measure Jesus uses in the story of the sheep and the goats is straight forward......as it is in his story of the Good Samaritan. If the question is, who are the goats and who are the sheep, his story leaves no ambiguity. If the question is, who is my...

You wouldn't understand.....because you define moral virtue and rule of law just as the Pharisee's did.
