    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    No.1 ....you weren't born when Jesus was resurrected.....does that qualify you as an 'unbeliever' ? You speak of guesses in No.3......What about your guesses in your statement No.2? do they qualify as 'way off' also or is there a 'special exemption'? No.4 ....Is Jesus manifest as a judge when...

    God will soon give us a "Warning"

    God will soon give us a "Warning" There have been angels trumpeting warnings for decades (Revelation 14) What on Earth is in our ears?

    Your spiritual rebirth story - An event, or a gradual experience?

    I have come to learn that the primary evidence of the Spirit (a new birth) is extending mercy, forgiveness and patience towards the recalcitrant, the ignorant, the self righteous and the overtly rebellious. This has not always been the case in my reality. I have learned that God has and is...

    This was now the SECOND sign that Jesus did

    A miracle and a sign...hmmmmm. A sign points/ advertises/reveals something. There were expectations the Jews had of the Messiah ie, he would self authenticate by certain 'signs' Miracle workers have been around in various location for millennia but it didn't make them THE Messiah. I find it...

    Iran attacks Israel

    Slippery? why do you say that? I would have thought my statement in post #33 to which you responded, was right on the money.

    What makes a doctrine false?

    God draws with kindness. Force is not a part of his M.O. If it were he would have deleted Lucifer at the outset. He allows the choices of intelligent creatures to run their course, counselling us not to be deceived.....ie, that death masquerades as life. If death (cessation of life) were not a...

    Unity in exclusivity is mere tribalism - Nothing special there

    There is no actual unity in tribalism....only the appearance of unity. It is a facade which when prodded reveals its inherent inadequacy.

    What makes a doctrine false?

    I see it like this, Jesus gives life to ALL humanity yet strangely, not all want life. Suicide results because HOW one sees allows no hope. It is the result of deception. God gives life unasked for. Any new born is testimony to this. God gives hope and promise. It is Satan who steals hope and...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Of course, those opposed to God and his character will find/ see him as an unmitigated threat and they will interpret his coming, 1st or second as something to be feared. (The question is, is he an actual threat or is it all in what they imagine) Have you ever wondered why Jesus didn't show...

    So, two payments?

    Preaching About Sin.

    According to this logic we are punished or rewarded because of the things we do, that's the upshot of it ........yet if Jesus died for sinners which we all are then hasn't the punishment been taken by him.......otherwise, what's that all about. So you are saying folk get whipped really really...

    Preaching About Sin.

    1....Does love really require payment? 2...The loss of existence is the suffering. The wicked and sin will be no more. The Universe is cleansed not by violence perpetrated by God. The example of Judas' choice and subsequent action is not to pass us by.

    Preaching About Sin.

    Ohhhh Ronald, God's character is not that of needing 'sacrifice' as in tormenting people forever. Sacrificing, whether they earned it or the idea that God wants some sort of macabre satisfaction never entered his mind (Jeremiah 19:5) We have Jesus for the very purpose of knowing what God is...

    Xenia vs. Love Thy Neighbor

    What I mean Bob is that we have a sense of right and wrong. We know stealing and lying is wrong. It doesn't mean we don't steal or lie etc, it just means there is some sort of moral gauge within us all as people. Criminal gangs like the Yakuza or the Mafia have a sense of right or wrong...
