Those who trust in Jesus (the living one, Revelation 1:18) live in hope of a resurrection to life when Jesus returns as promised in the clouds of heaven (Matthew 24:30-31)

Deception comes from a flawed understanding, nay, an understanding which deliberately extinguishes the signs and promptings to the enlightenment inherent in the resurrected Jesus.

If it were not dead a resurrection would not be warranted.

Unasked for advice and condescension has about as much appeal as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. :Broadly:

What happens to your soul when you die? It is dead!

Blaming is not always overt. Very often it assumes the role of piety, like 'look how right I am'. It often assumes the role of teacher; it manifests from a heart which does not love, even one which does not understand its principles let alone its emotion. Accusation (blaming) is the the...

Do you speak against "Sinlessness"? Asking questions is mostly a good thing yet what is asked and the intentions behind the question also require insight. For example, the Serpent asked Eve, 'did God really say you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?' Genesis 3:1 It was a set up...

the premise the Hebrews rationalised from was that God was responsible for everything, both good and bad. They didn't know about Satan as a malignant player, they considered him as we would consider a prosecutor; one whose job is to bring out the truth. Jesus corrected this view by telling us...

Yes. So how do we/ you solve this apparent inconsistency?

so how do we deal with John's statement, 'God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.' 1 John 1:5 ? Is our nature like that?

Is the nature of the God we worship the same as the god's men have created for themselves? If it is not, how is it different?.....and how can one prove/ show it?

Interpreting scripture....hmmmm! What do you think of this one in the light of Jesus? Access to God through animal sacrifices and blood were not necessary. Access was now open through Jesus for all mankind. Quite different to divorce.....rather, reconciliation? 2 Corinthians 5:18...

Love is not a solely cognitive arrangement F2F, it is an emotional investment also. God loves beyond anything you and I understand. It is of a nature that never gives up. It is of a nature that dies for enemies ie, those who care nothing for God. A refresher of 1 Corinthians 13 is helpful. Love...

ahhhhh, if only ears would hear! My comments re the OT are not blanket comments, they are specific, however choosing to hear them as blanket statements distorts the intent. It is evident that Jesus was also specific in his comments re OT matters. Refusing to understand this because it suits...

Jack, if you were interested in being objective, if you were genuinely interested in Jesus it would be evident in your posts. However, I do not see this in your posts. What I see is a person who sits in judgement, is quick to condemn, glorifies in his ignorance and misunderstandings and feels...

Men disqualify themselves by their rejection of God's gift.....gift being the operative word. God does not disqualify them.....and the scripture adds the word 'free' just to reinforce that it is solely a gift. That rejection comes in various forms, one is thinking that the combination of their...

How we read it determines how we see it. I see it like this: In Adam (according to Paul in Romans 5) all are lost. One could say, and it was said this way; 'God consigned everyone to disobedience' but in fact it was Adam who did....yet the Hebrew way of expressing it is that God did, because...

When were angels created? hmmm, let me see, 20,547 BC give or take a few months?

Your understanding Jack is limited/ restricted by your bias. This bias and active refusal to see opens the door for you to take scripture out of context. It has you jumping around the scripture to anything that supports your bias and ignoring anything that doesn't......hardly an intelligently...
