    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    For those who have no interest in seeing anything other than what and how they see, I have no interest in 'proving' anything. If one wants to believe the Earth is flat because they live in Kansas, who am I to convince them that Everest is on another continent?.......for all I know they might be...

    I think Harold's notes hidden in the toilet paper roll is ingenious :) We are all a work in progress Helen.....let's encourage him in his walk. There are too many who want to cut enthusiasm off at the knees.....and as he journey's in sincerity, he too will modify his views as we all have...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    When Jesus told his stories and parables Jack, he didn't preface it with, 'this is a story' or 'this is a parable'. That was done by the writers of the gospels fifty years later.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Part 2 The Burning Truth So, what does consume a lie? The truth! And what does consume selfishness? Love! And the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of both truth and love. Amazingly, when the Spirit fell at Pentecost, they all witnessed two streams of fire over each person (Acts 2:3), yet no one got...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Tell me Jack, why do you think Jesus repeatedly said, 'if you have ears to hear then hear'? We all have ears but the question address the willingness to hear the intended message? The criterion (a principle or standard by which something may be judged or decided) required to hear well is a...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Jesus did talk about hell but it has nothing to do with the mythological images so often conjured and believed . Ole Nick has done a convincing job on many getting them to assume that immortality in a torture chamber is what a 'loving' God has in store for the refusers of hoop jumping with...

    A penny for your thoughts...

    No belly laughs either because God has no sense of humour. Truth is so serious the angels never get their feathers ruffled ....and God forbid having a party!

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Are you so sure your interpretation of these things is right or is there room for questions? You sound very sure of that. Do you feel confident to advise God on that one?

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    C'mon marks, whatever makes you conclude that? ...and allow me to ask, how would you feel if it was clearly shown you contradictions? Would the authority of the Bible be diminished in your eyes? or would you revise how you see.....or would you flat out deny the contradiction?

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    The assumptions are loaded, the verdict determined and from what I hear and see, various individuals are so sure they could just about sit in the judgement seat themselves....but I would ask, who is judging who in any judgement?

    Who did Jesus Die a Ransom for?

    So what is Justice from your point of view? and if you say he didn't demand it from Adam, you'll need to explain to me the connection you make between ransom and justice?
