Is it really thought God needs our advice on what others should be doing?

So, you have the opinion of yourself as a teacher?

who do we imagine gives life to wilful sinners? who do we suppose gives life to Satan himself? Does this not speak of the long-suffering of God? Are we also not to be long-suffering?

The thing is and in my view also the error, is the sense of entitlement to judge irrespective of which sin.....and in particular the shunning of the individual.

Sin is sin and I think the worst is when the finger is pointed in accusation with the assumption one is immune. The woman caught in adultery and dragged before Jesus is a case in point.

Running won't change anything Wynona. It's not like there's a bus here you have to catch. Change comes when paradigm shifts. Change does not come when paradigm is justified or stubbornly reinforced. The common paradigm is to look to oneself for a solution. It takes many forms and is as natural...

Sinners have a life span shortened by?....you wanna guess?

Because we have sinful flesh handed down to us from Adam....till eventually it kills us. So you believe? in what? that the sun will rise in the morning? that good nutrition equals good health? that God keeps a record of all your wrongs? a particular religious culture? etc etc Jesus is your...

If you consider yourself a teacher, you've lost me, they are a dime a dozen here. If on the other hand you are open to honest objective conversation about the wonder of our God, you have my ear.

Hello Wendy

I think he was showing that God's ultimate purpose is Jesus. God is Spirit and how do you relate to a Spirit? We have no reference points but we do have with Jesus. Asking Jehovah's Witnesses to witness to Jehovah is virtually an impossible task for them to answer. The closest one can get is...

To keep us on track. Decoy, sleight of hand, misrepresentations, outright lies easily snow the unsuspecting. Most, in my view are unsuspecting of God's agenda. They tend to superimpose their own views onto God and call it God's.

It is assumed God gets the credit. We assume much, even that the chair we sit on has integrity. :) We hope our assumptions are accurate. There is always permission to test them; courage is on offer for all.

The ultimate point of the scriptures is Jesus. The records outline a particular history. The genealogy at the beginning of the book of Matthew give you an idea. The history of Scripture is helpful in understanding how ancient people saw, ie their view of God. They got it wrong most of the time...

History passed down orally is probably likely, but tell me, what is it that you think is mythological ?

Yeah, sounds fair and reasonable to me. Paul was not exempt from being stroked so to speak. The pronouncement could have been agreeable, even flattering at first but the consistent repetition signalled a red flag and he called it.

do we conclude that God is complicit in suffering and misery?

Yes, telling the truth! So we need to ask, how is it that Paul cast a demon out of her. I would suggest, appearances can be deceptive, it's like sleight of hand.
