Patrick, if you are a new chum to this information, let the steam build up, don't blow it all out the whistle.

Yes, we must assume that. Death is an enemy. It is the domain of the devil. Hebrews 2:14 ...'Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who...

It does mean ALL just as it says. So what do we do with those headed for the lake of fire which ultimately means death? We assume God puts them into the lake of fire ie, kills them but no, it is the devil who steals, kills and destroys, not God. Salvation is for ALL but not all want it. They...

Navel gazing ie, self absorption afflicts all levels of society. How did the Israelites remedy their snake bite?

'the lost sheep of Israel' has a broader meaning than ethnicity. He drew the Woman out and it became an object lesson for the disciples. Staying stuck in our faulty paradigms is what Jesus wants to draw us out of. If the disciples had stayed in the paradigms they were raised in, they would have...

yeah...I'm certain 'reigning' has to do with service. Luke 12:37 '....I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat!' God creates so he can love and serve his creatures. Do parents have children so they can one day take out the garbage...

yo With respect F2f, you are clearly not hearing what I'm communicating. It appears your mind is made up as to what I believe; it comes through in your assumptions. Anyway, I'll leave you with your assumptions.

The love of money has appeal for those whose hope is misplaced.

That would attract some bees and butterflys? Living in the tropics I try to grow the host plants of butterflys, particularly the Ulysses and the Cairns birdwing

The story has greater scope than just Jew and Gentile. It encompasses the gap between those who think they have it right over and above others. It also highlights the generosity of the Father to both not because of merit (what they deserved) but because of his affection. The older brother is not...

When is the Close of Probation? When men/ women choose to no longer respond to the prompting of God's Spirit.

Your status is that of a child of God, your condition miserable. Take the story of the prodigal son, a story Jesus crafted. He was a child of the Father even while he was getting his rocks off with whores and feeding pigs. His decadent lifestyle stripped his belief in being a Son. He thought...

I can only assume you have not heard ie, not understood my reply to your question, post #158
