My proposition to you is...do you want to shoot at the target with more accuracy or not? If you say to me...how dare you think you can shoot better or know more about shooting than me...then I will see that your ego is involved. But if you challenge me to a shoot out...I will gladly accept for...

Can others here help marks to see what he is missing? I am asking in all sincerity. I wish you could understand my answer....but I don't think you would be able to hear my explanation as to why you can't track what I'm saying. Your ego would get in the way...because you are looking for...

I just want to add the qualifier to how I see truth for the reason that some people react against my methods. I see truth in layers. Like target shooting at a varying distance. If a truth understanding is accurate a bullseye is scored. But if I see a person as missing the target...or better...

We can't communicate well because you are not seeing that I did in fact answer your question and in great detail. If you say "only Christianity"...and I say "All of humanity"...then my "all of humanity" means I'm not saying Christianity. I'm making a bigger statement. I'm not limiting the...

We all as humanity want to see the end of suffering and oppression...especially towards the innocent. But that day of reckoning will do more than we think. If we have our cake we will have to eat it too! We also will have to be subject to the truth in judgment. Many people who clamour for truth...

In the coming kingdom (1,000 years) Jesus and His Bride will rule with a rod of iron. Sin will no longer be tolerated. Oppression will cease. Transgressions will be shut down and severely so. Now the level that this "totalitarianism" will exist in personal experience will depend on the deviance...

Our sincere condolences Larry! May the comfort of God's own Spirit and love be yours. <>< John

I think that something is being overlooked here. Jesus took on the LIKENESS of sinful flesh. He was NOT sinful. So in like fashion Jesus also got baptized...in order to fulfill ALL righteousness...even though He didn't need to. Jesus did the things He did with us in mind...not Himself. That may...

What is not so obvious for many of us is that Jesus was not totalitarian in any way. When His disciples tried going that way Jesus shut them down. He said... Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him...

Actually not so extreme. In this life you are shut out of the kingdom without the new birth...yes. Jesus is saying that you cannot see and act in the kingdom in this life without the rebirth. But spiritual birth in this life is more than just salvation...it is to walk in the One who brings a...

I'm not speaking of the very real sectarian and elitist stance of the leaders among the Jews....but of the tradition of there being a way out for non-Jews based on a righteous life...especially one that showed kindness to the Jews. And this is an accepted tenet of Judaism. Have you heard of Yad...

If you look at the text without the totalitarian mindset...Jesus is speaking of a spiritual faculty that comes along with being born from above...that of seeing kingdom things. That is akin to saying that if you were to get the gift of a set of binoculars...you would be able to see farther...

You are making my point by unwittingly imposing a totalitarian interpretation on the text. There is no life or death duality in the words of Jesus. They are in your mind...planted there through a totalitarian indoctrination. Thank you for the example.

Adding Judy to a growing prayer list of people who are afflicted right now...

1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. What this does not mean is that whoever SAYS He has the Son has life: Just because we have Jesus' name on our letterhead or our building does not mean we HAVE Him. The above verse is a descriptive...

But I also see the easier commitment of righteousness...the universal effort to do all one can and to love others as oneself. I think that the majority of the church will always be the righteous. But the problem is when the righteous are called saints...which they are not. So I see a big...

Thanks John. I think that the door to "heaven" has been made to be so wide that people try entering into life without thinking of what it really means. They don't see the cost or the risk. They have been induced through mass hypnosis into believing they are somehow "in" Christ by reciting a glib...

Partly. But also to become a Jew is a very big commitment. They want you to REALLY count the cost. Just as Jesus said His followers should. So we also should try dissuading people from following holiness...UNTIL they also count the cost. So it isn't a question of they NOT wanting a...

Hebrew has no vowels...so the noun and the verb are the same words...three letters mostly. The difference is context. The verb sabach and the noun sevach are identical. The same three letters. The vowels are added in based on context alone. The pronunciation follows the usage...not the word...

True Christianity is Judaic in nature...not Islamic. It is a two-tired message that includes a universal righteousness AND an exclusive holiness. Jesus died for the sins of the WHOLE world. Not just for believers. This is universal and shows that God is NOT totalitarian in His ways. God is NOT...
