out of curiosity, where are you located in Aus.?

I suppose spare the rod and spoil the child resonates with you? I tend to think that there are enough accusing voices; the devil, your friends, your enemies and yourself. Thing is, low self esteem is not endemic because folk are awash in the kindness of others. ......and of course the rod...

and do we do that through or by accusation ?

did you want to deconstruct her breasts Patrick? :contemplate:

Picking the debates is useful Rita, in fact, I think critical. ...and prayer forums.......hmmmmm, I'm wary of telling God what he already knows.

I'm certain God is big enough to handle it. I don't think he'll spit you out because you challenge him. Wasn't Jesus challenged at Calvary? Did he spit out anyone? Wasn't it that we spat him out and then blamed him (attributed to him) for doing what we did?

Did God kill Judas? I think he chose his path for his own reasons. They resulted in disaster. Peter was on a similar brink. He went back to fishing. It might have ended badly. Paul has his story, you have yours, I have mine. I have learned that those who have come to love Jesus also have...

I'm glad you're talking' about me tl_p :)

yes, his reality.....who can?

The consciousness of sin is like becoming aware of more doors.....even trap doors than the mind was initially capable of processing or being aware of.

Does God judge generations, individuals, or both? or do we (individually and generationally) Judge God.......worthy of our worship or no?

The Eunuch (poor bloke, I've read about Eunuchs) it appears he was a heart searcher. The Spirit is extraordinarily active when Jesus is presented. It has the effect of drawing people just like Cleopas and his mate or finding them in a flap trying to find an alternative explanation.

I can see Jack, you wouldn't concede that your mother was a woman unless you realised it yourself. :)

Don't you think Paul knew or the other Apostles? ....for instance, Cleopas and his mate? Don't you think it would be an error to project your own lack of knowledge onto God's chosen heralds? Don't you think it is a worthy aspiration to be able to lay out the scripture in the same way? However...

You that are deaf; hear now hmmmm, its clear to me you are hearing a different piper to me and do I dare to say, a piper who believes prophecy is for the sole purpose of foretelling the future? It appears I have dared!

Was Jesus crucified? hmmmm, well I don't think he was filled with ice cream and tied to a sandhill in the Negev on a hot day!

I want to highlight that Jesus brought clarity or shall I say perspective to the various alarming things stated in the Law and the Prophets. To the guys on the road to Emmaus he didn't labour their foolishness in lack of understanding but showed them in the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms...

so you could quote it :).......it's your favourite isn't it?

yes, there will be!
