I agree AJ with your above statement and I would answer to the rest of your lengthy post, it is only Jesus as he walks the dusty streets of our Planet who gives us the full view of God's character. It was for this purpose he was sent. Reverting to a picture of God which the rest of humanity...

You call it 'evidence' and 'facts' when all it is is a refusal on my part to enter into the conversation you are having with yourself as noted in post # 177

You call them avoidance tactics f2f when in fact they are challenges you refuse. In my view, this assumed cleverness has short legs, particularly for the observant.

Surprisingly AJ, God's revelation of himself is not one of 'superior' as you say.....and contrary to human reason as revealed in Jesus, he seeks out the lost and to the alarm of those who desire a dominating self willed God, he submits....even to the point of death. This is Grace on a level...

Second guessing is a tricky business all round!

It appears you are having a conversation with yourself. You imagine two sides one which you call 'Quiet' How do I know this? because you know what 'Quiet' is thinking and concluding ....and the other in the conversation freely dishes out advice to 'Quiet' :)

I see your understanding of Grace is limited to human values which you then foist onto God. If it's not good news (gospel) for sinners, it becomes a trading arrangement where God makes demands and if you don't meet them you fry. Good news of Jesus draws but 'good advice' is the domain of every...

Good question Jessica!

Give of yourself. You have a mentor! ‘For God so loved he gave…..’

Hello

The boundary between spinning off in ones imagination and staying on track is definitely a challenge. The number 666 has leant itself to the production of movies and to all manner of dreamt up unrelated stuff. Stay on track. Be careful of your imagination. Watch, so you are not led down the...

Your distortions remain for you!

It's who not what; it's him not it.

We, ie me, loves to get. What I mean by that is when I see a pretty girl and I love the way she looks my thoughts are about getting ie, satisfaction. I reflect on John 3:16 and am ashamed. 'For God so loved the World he gave.....' When God loves his desires are to give....to the World. Jesus...

Matthew 11:17 ‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ Is Jesus saying, no matter what approach is used, the 'flat liner' element (non responsive) pervades?

This Planet's M.O. is one of suffering and God has identified with us. We are all in a fishbowl even if some want to believe they are in the Ocean. We are invited to look outside the fishbowl by seeing Jesus, the identifier with our limitations .....so that we can see.

Is the expression 'how one sees' understood? Is there a difference between what is seen and how it is seen? Is there a consciousness of the difference? ......and what do we use as a reference point? It is the how factor which interests me. For example, a Jew will see differently to a Muslim...

Blind Guides and Deluded Followers One definition of projection..... 'the unconscious transfer of one's desires or emotions to another person'

In the interim I s'pose we just shower all and sundry with bucket loads of advice?
