The second death

Perhaps you could point out to us all your faults and errors instead of those of others?

Are Women Made in God’s Image? Only on Fridays! :contemplate:.......and if they eat only fish, they're one step closer :rolleyes:

What did Jesus die to save us from? Death.

I read Calvins institutes 45 odd years ago. I don't remember all the details, and frankly it is not that important to me. My passion is to see Jesus, not Calvin or Luther or any of the reformers for that matter, interesting though they are. They were men for their time. All the barking about...

I hope praying for your enemies does not include the right to run them down :oops:

ahhhhh, theology! of course. Do you think that Jesus was into Theology?

So can drawing a caricature of Mohamed. So can belonging to certain ethnicities. So can living on Planet Earth.

Calvin's theology reveals it.

William Miller, A Case Study in Poor Spiritual Discernment #1 There are billions of us people on the Planet Pavel, and you're going to start pulling one of them apart because you feel you have greater insight. Why not just reveal your greater insight into where you consider value lies and folk...

Yeah, I find the episodes inspiring in spite of not seeing eye to eye with every assumption certain aspects of the film are built on. They make Jesus human and relatable. I got the dvd's.....very handy.

Does God micro manage peoples affairs?

Water finds its own level. All honest seekers recognise growth in their understanding and being alienated is part of the course. Even Galileo discovered that. There is no blueprint. Each person decides for themselves when the time is right for whatever choice is made.

I think the metaphor is taken from the days when pick and shovel were used to harvest coal. It was tough and dirty and immediate. Good works are naturally a good thing but focus on good works and how they appear and it is no longer natural, it becomes a performance and a self focused...

Ahhhhh, the mystery, the secret or is it so close to the coal face its messy....ie, self sacrifice!

Daniel two got me started, 'The Metal Man', which I'm sure we all know of piqued my interest. Daniel 7's four beasts continued the curiosity/ interest....and further it went. Ultimately, Jesus gave perspective in his Revelation to John.
