I get what you're saying, nevertheless in the context of this conversation how would you apply 'defiling the temple' in the light of 'It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles [him]...

hey hey!

Was not Adam free to partake of the forbidden fruit even though warned of the consequences? Was not Cain free to murder his brother Able though advised not to? Were not his descendants free to engage what their minds desired? Was/ is not humanity free to crucify the Lord of Glory? Freedom is...

I've built and cleaned plenty of toilets and engaged other honourable activity....maybe I should preface my name/ moniker with 'dunny digger quietthinker' ...after all, the thinking continues even when the shovel moves full steam ahead.....it probably wouldn't bother me! :Broadly: Anyway, just...

I think we need to add, cotton candy, M'Donalds, Wendy's, fermented grapes and hops and, oh don't forget that green weed God let grow and pronounced good....yup, a little modification and who knows, we might even access the knowledge of good and evil? There is of course a wagon load of other...

I s'pose we could squeeze its meaning (dead) into any of our theological constructs? .....let me see :contemplate:. Don't the pagans also have a basket (did I say basket?) I mean a truck load of divergent views on the matter?

G'day Tim Thanks for joining us rag tag bunch of recovering Babylonians, however let me ask, why the display of a title (Vicar) right from the outset?

The best chance of getting children to honour their parents (you?) is to honour them ie, treat them respectfully and with dignity; recognise that they to are a work in progress........just as God honours us.

When the Bible says, "Dead", what does it mean? Assuredly, not understanding what God mean't when he said, 'you shall surely die' (be dead) set the tone for not understanding or at best, understanding very very poorly the utterances and purpose of the rest of scripture.

Is it okay to eat pork? I wonder how the pig feels about that?

Thanks for looking at it guys. Not sure if you've seen the collection of essays I've posted elsewhere. Anyway, I found them pretty stimulating also. Here's a link for your perusal.

Keraz, go are learn why Paul said, 'All the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Jesus' 2 Corinthians 1:20 and also why Jesus quoted the OT 'I desire mercy not sacrifice' ....and do you think that Noah, a preacher of righteousness told the people, God's going to drown you all or was it, God...

The reality of Jesus including his death and resurrection is given to those discounted. Blindness and deafness remain in the self assured but they don't know it. They are in fact proud of it.

Ineptness is the main story of believers in Jesus but God does not hold it against them. He desires them to come to a better understanding of his character, the character as modelled by Jesus, a self sacrificing God, not the one modelled by pagan deities ie, survival of the fittest and revenge...

yes

They ask because they assume that being avenged in the human understanding of being avenged, is what God will do and is holding out on. The fact is, God is not like how they imagined him to be. Their misunderstanding of God's Character has them asking the wrong question. Nevertheless God does...

What I watch to get my news People!

I think your understanding of how God behaves is the result of an entity other than God whispering in your ear. Jesus is the measure of how God is ...not the voices which say all sorts of things, even purporting to be God.

What was the point of all that copy and paste? I certainly don't have the inclination to wade through something I don't find a reason to.....and my guess is, judging by the things people post on this forum, that most others wouldn't be bothered either. So, again....what's the point? ....make it...
