Rebellion gets to a point where one looses oneself for any greater purpose or desire for it. It cuts itself off from the ability to hear the Spirit's promptings and the desire for change. It spirals into an ever deepening morass of self justification. Imploding is its consequence. Judas is an...

I'd be interested what you thought of 'The Heavenly Man' ?

hmmmm, and you have the keys f2f? Then pray, tell us of the nature of the Power of God?

Good News doesn't have a particular strategy. It bubbles up like a spring of living water. Consider the Samaritan woman's experience after she spoke to Jesus at the well. The whole town was influenced by her....you know the story. Categorising good news, putting it into a straight jacket of...

One's understanding of scripture will take you to HOW you see it.....ie, your paradigm We can see the widely differing conclusions people draw on this site.....even while all are reading the same book. We can see the Jews manipulated and had Jesus murdered by the Romans because of their...

Yes, I am saying that. He nevertheless turns the 'impossible' horror to reveal his heart in such a way the whole created order is gob-smacked (Revelation 8:1).....not just mankind but the whole watching Universe/ Multiverse

The crucifixion was not something Jesus wanted anymore than a mother running onto the freeway to save her wandering child.....even while a B double is barreling down on her. Death is not something God designed or wants. It is an enemy, an intruder that results from poor choices. It is a...

Kick-arse is mens MO.....they want power to humiliate the other and elevate the self. God's Kingdom operates on the opposite principle. Humbling of the self rather than humiliating the other. The need or desire to humiliate is grounded in low self esteem. It does not understand the high...

You want to define rewards/ a crown, view it through the lens of servanthood, not through the lens of 'power over'
