Do you find engaging the bible and your intellect at odds with each other Rj?

Self orientation and self importance is the springboard for error. It spawns the philosophies/ religions of the world. It was where Lucifer came undone. It is where distortion has its roots.

It's still all about you Peter!

No Sir, no attacking scripture. This charge is used as a decoy.

Making no sense to you does not surprise me Peter. I would say the logic and reason you employ are so encased in self, subjectivity and objectivity are a blur to/ for you.

There yer go, still self. :) I reflect on these thoughts; did Jesus say, learn of yourself to gain enlightenment? I hear him say, 'learn of me.....' We inevitably talk of what we've learned and what consumes our thinking.....and the self dominates. Is it any wonder that we paddle around in...

Self, self self.....old self new self, it's all just self. We are so enamoured with self it's talked about from any angle!

There is one who presents as an angel of light and he does a brilliant job of masquerading because it seems many believe in the Jesus he is portraying. What is certain though, it is not the Jesus of Nazareth.

Welcome to the boards Pancho. The search for meaning continues :)

Yes, we categorise because it's convenient to justify ourselves yet when it's not we take a different tack. In principle men resist Law because it condemns them yet at the same time it is the highest form of logic they arrive at. Grace is foreign, it doesn't compute with a Law orientation...

Interesting how we revert to Law when it suits us. When it doesn't, lots of noise is made about the Law being done away with....hmmmm

the world seems to think so

hmmmm, FORCE!....I don't think FORCE will achieve the desired ends. Did Jesus use FORCE to win the hearts of those he interacted with?

'What you've done to the least, you done it to me' Jesus says. I think that includes what has been said about others.

yes, you have the right to an opinion Debp but speaking poorly of another, is that what Jesus does? Isn't his perspective one of looking out for the prodigal....daily?

'Learn of me' Jesus said. My question is, are you learning of him? Are those in teaching roles showing you Jesus? You will know by what you share with others....We share what we learn and love. From my personal experience, this changes everything. Paul has said, and for good reason, 'I am...

We witness to what we love!

An emotional connection is what he desires ....as a healthy parent with a child. Many of us have been emotionally damaged and to a large extent hamstrung but he knows. Learn of me Jesus says, I am meek and lowly of heart and you will find rest for your souls. God does not threaten, exploit or...
