    We get many things wrongs all the time GG ...and no, I'm not saying that.

    WHAT IS THE MYSTERY?

    Did you know that the Jews had no consciousness that the Messiah was going to be the Creator of Heaven and Earth? Did you know that not even the angels in Heaven knew that Jesus would ultimately submit his life to devil inspired men? Did you know that the resurrection of Jesus qualified him as...

    Is Sound Doctrine Essential for Salvation?

    Is Sound Doctrine Essential for Salvation? Is a good (accurate) chart essential for negating hidden dangers? Being a mariner, I know the value of accurate charts and the danger of inaccurate ones. Having been literally ship wrecked because of unknown information make this truth bigger than...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Yes, we are all marked men and women. We are marked, as you say, with something. Our language even uses the term of being marked but it is hardly referring to a physical identifier. In the same sense, the scripture speaks of 'marks' or 'seals'. We need to be awake to this or we'll be looking for...

    Noah and Abraham were deemed righteous, meaning exactly what?

    Noah and Abraham were deemed righteous, meaning exactly what? Their trust in God's promises eclipsed their shortcomings.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I know AJ, you do not know how to evaluate my view. My reference point is unrecognisable to you......yet you argue with me. How does that work? To equate your paradigm with the 'plain truth of scripture' is over the top subjective, wouldn't you say? Why would recognising this make me feel...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    What I have consistently noticed is those who have not read EGW for the most part, are the most vocal against her. I haven't read all her stuff and have no plans to but the main tenants of what I've read are encouraging, insightful and helpful. Why anyone would be opposed to writings of this...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Luke 9:45 'But they didn't know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn't understand it, and they were afraid to ask him....'

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    ahhhh, I have some creds, I mean creeds. I believe a man shall be hungry if he doesn't eat breakfast. I believe if breakfast is not eaten a man shall be hungry. I believe a man who eats breakfast, particularly oats with bananas, shall be strengthened at least till lunch time. I also believe...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I surmise the things Jesus said were too cryptic for those holding the common view. Stuff like drinking his blood and eating his flesh, though not cryptic, would have spun them out......particularly for those who cannot or will not get their head around metaphors in scripture......even though...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Thanks for taking the time asking to clarify, it's appreciated. Yes, Jesus did the ordinary things of everyday life and in his interaction shone the glory of God. I think that death and sickness cannot get the ascendancy in the presence of God so wherever Jesus went he healed and raised the...

    Have you ever drawn the same conclusion from what and how Jesus responded?

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Hmmmm. Oh dear AJ, I really don't know where to start. If you don't see you don't see and there is no point rubbing your nose in it....you still wouldn't see; my guess is from your answers is you would just double down .....and we would get nowhere.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Your plug AJ is for your denomination, that much is clear, however, you see your denomination with rose coloured glasses. It is an unreal view and evaluation. There is also, in your many words, no plug for Jesus, the one in whom the believers hope resides. It is eclipsed by the implied plug...

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

    I'm saying Jesus came so that we could see the character of God firsthand. His character had been misrepresented and obscured by Satan from the outset. His character (holiness) was such an affront to us that we killed him.
