Who are the most liked and approachable Christians pick me, pick me

Where does the Pope get his authority? From his followers. They give it to him. No followers, no authority.

I suppose that means that when one goes to be immediately with the Lord he wont be in the first resurrection?.....I wonder who they are then?

The principles and person of a self sacrificing God are front and centre. When this is not recognised/ understood it gives birth to any amount of interpretations (speculations) the which are and become diversions. The reality of Jesus was 'screamed' to humanity. It is Satan's studied plan to...

The last laugh might be on you bd? Popular theology has taken the Christian World captive and those who subscribe to it are quick to poo hoo those who have divergent views. Surely this must be telling?

Check out this, you might find it helpful. It worked for me.

quack quack!

Not sure what you're asking fluffy, but happy to see you around.

Does God change? Does he behave in contradictory ways? Are his emotions fickle like that of Man? God's reality is graciousness. It will never end otherwise I have no assurance of security.

ahhhh, stacking, packing and overflowing oozes out of the collective consciousness of humanity.

@ Hazelelponi I hope my reply in post # 87 hasn't 'spun' you out. I have mentioned the slaughtered lamb in the middle of the throne a few times on the forum here and have only drawn a blank from others. I wonder why that is? Is it because folk have no idea what I'm referencing? Is it because...

This is an example of the writer's bias. Hebrews believed that everything both good and bad was God's doing. Here God is blamed/ given responsibility for Uzzah's death.....as he was for Saul's death, as he was for the death of Ananias and Sapphira, as he was for the genocide of those Israel...

The scripture/ prophets have used this struggle between these ethnicities not to give us a blow for blow account of who kicks whose butt nationally but rather has used them as types in the battle between good and evil. I also think that if our hopes and focus is specifically on the outcome of...

I think the struggle is, and the prophecies are, greater than just ethnicities not seeing eye to eye. The scripture extends the meaning of Israel as a metaphor for all of God's people and the enemy is the Devil working through those who care not for God's heart. The battle is cosmic. It is...

yeah, i did make that connection re the fighting.

I s'pose naivety and inexperience are bedfellows of stupidity......but I must add, stupidity has a raft of bedfellows.

No not really. I've drawn the conclusions I have from the record of Hagar's encounter with the angel but I've never had it confirmed by anyone of that linage. Out of interest, my sister married a Bedouin but it didn't last long. He insisted after the marriage that any children would be educated...

I'm not surprised many folks shy away from your description of God and I don't blame them. The injustice of an eternity in Hell (as you imagine it) sounds more like something the Devil would do

how is 'honour' understood by them?

I guess they figure their birthright was usurped by Issac? or don't they acknowledge Issac's reality at all?
