THE Trinity can Now be discussed. You now have permission to exercise your right to free speech. Use it while the door is open......because who knows when those wielding the big sword will close it! :Oh no:

Why was it that Moses instructed the people bitten by vipers and dying to look at the brass serpent for healing?

'Fretting' is your word RN. God has given us a mind and intelligence. If we choose not to use it or unable to, we end up with a restricted view. Justify a restricted view and foolishness is courted.

hmmmm, I'm sorry Carl, but your arguments appear to me as speaking from both sides of your mouth. ...and by the way, I haven't missed the Lion/ Lamb understanding of Jesus. Questions that require/ need/ are begging to be asked; texts that appear to be promoting a violent God against men, are...

Oh I see....you attributed evil to God as did Isaiah but you don't call it evil. You have more of an eastern concept of God ie, yin/ yang where good and bad reside together. Do you think that's what Satan was referencing when he said to A&E, 'you will be as God knowing good and evil?.....yes, it...

Bare with me in this explanation. A key is needed. The word key is a metaphor as is the rest of the book of Revelation. Rev.1:1 tells us at the outset what is recorded in this book is a Revelation of Jesus Christ and his 'effect/ relevance in/ to history' . In other words it reveals Jesus...

What would you think the severity of God is?

You've wandered off focus Carl. You're reverting to the OT narrative at the expense of what Jesus revealed about his Father.

Surely thinking about implications is also necessary?

You know how it is Matthew, morphing is a part of human conversation. We wander off into deserts will walking in jungles.

When your memory is short it helps to reread the exchange of posts. Hopefully that gives an accurate perspective on what has been said.

I'm not evaluating you by my experiences. I am holding you to the conclusion of your own statements.

I thought God was not the God of confusion (calamity) and that that responsibility belonged to Satan. Attributing that which belongs to Satan to God, In my view is a scary and dangerous place to inhabit. It blames God for that which Satan is responsible.

You're in a deep hole if your knowledge is faulty ....particularly if it is according to your deductions. My experience is that the closer I get to understanding Jesus and having him with me, the more shortcomings I see in myself but also the greater my gratitude.

I understand your point, so let me ask you this, have you completely ceased from sin?

You've missed my point FTL. My point being that Jesus reassurance and that of trusting in God's ability to bring you through in spite of your weaknesses is what Jesus wants us to rely on.

Peter had just gotten on his high horse in John 13:37 when Jesus lets him know that within 24hrs Peter would deny him three times.....yet the next verse, Chapter 14:1-6 Jesus tells him, 'let not your heart be troubled.....' It appears Peter's 'sanctification' was down the flush after the...

Have you forgotten it is Jesus who saves, not the one being saved. If salvation is aborted it is aborted by the individual not the Saviour......and how do individuals abort salvation? Is it not by resisting their Saviour?

so, God creates calamity?

Ever met a Christian who has stopped sining entirely? There might be those who claim they have but even cursory observation reveals a deluded soul.
