    The Prince to Come

    I'm saying Randy, that the practices of the Hebrews were by and large just a round of rituals as they are to many who call themselves Christians. They debate correctness or incorrectness of their or others views add nauseam. Re the Hebrews, their slide into idolatry, even that of human...

    The Prince to Come

    The Hebrews had never it seems understood the intrinsic meaning of the Sanctuary. They settled for a similar understanding of their practices as did the nations around them of their temples and rituals...... as do many 'christians' of their practices ie, something that God (s) wants and requires...

    The Prince to Come

    The Jewish Temple has of itself no value. Everything about its structure (set up) and practices are symbolic/ metaphor. I am amazed that this simple fact is not recognised.....and because it is not, misinterpretation is spawned and developed. I would ask, who is it that confirmed the covenant...

    Why didn't Lot just leave Sodom when he first found out about their wicked practice?

    I wish they were. All those funds spent on self glorifying structures, quiet frankly make me chuck.

    Why didn't Lot just leave Sodom when he first found out about their wicked practice?

    Sodom had reticulated water and power. The grape vine a convenient telephone. Public transport accessed the whole area. Business was on the up and insurance and rates affordable. Apart from a few noisy neighbours and rough nuts in the square, he managed quite well. Why live in a tent when brick...

    The Parable of the Traffic Officer Hear now this parable. I was caught speeding on my way to the hospital. The traffic officer, to protect the community from inconsiderate drivers, pulled me over and proceeded to write a ticket. This was justice, being fair to all. While writing the ticket he...

    Prayed & didn't like the answer I received?

    It's a hard thing for a man to bear when uneducated women blab on and on and on about things they doesn't understand, thinking they do. I'd be inclined to tell them to pull their head in as well. o_O

    Update: Now a new Iran president must be elected. Look who's throwing his hat in the ring. ex-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

    @BlessedPeace .....with respect, but these headlines you post are cast in pretty much every news outlet around the World from Iceland to South Africa, from Alaska to Ushuaia, from Moscow to Tokyo....and blow me down, even the grape vine at the black stump doesn't suppress it.

    Discovering God's Majesty: His Attributes Unveiled

    Greater Visions Talk to me of greater visions that lift the heart, that opens prisons to make the daily burdens pale with given strength to face the gale Enabling visions that folk of old with boldness went to face the cold of scaffold, stake and guillotine to light a path for most unseen A...

    Gods True Love verses the Worlds Love

    God's love is unlike anything we are familiar with in our reality. 1. It sacrifices self for the other. 2. It does not repay evil for evil. 3. Justice is restorative not punitive. 4. It has no expiration date. 5. It is forever expanding. 6. It does not argue Theology. 7. It...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Paul tells us Satan presents himself as an Angel of Light. How is it then possible to differentiate which of the 'many' Spirits is operative in oneself and or others? If we say by the Bible, I'm sure Satan would have no problem running rings around us with biblical quotes.

    God assures us we can understand His word

    It is true, 'rightly divided' ensures one arrives at a healthy and good conclusion....yet I would ask, who is it that defines 'rightly divided'?.....those who make a big noise about the term? The World generally takes a big noise about love. Stories and songs roll off the presses and tongues...
