The Olivet Discourse?.....Matthew 5

Interesting presentation Randy. The Olivet discourse I believe was Jesus' seminal statement of his mission (The Kingdom of God) and how it works. It was a statement which characterises the heart of God.....no force, no violence. Quiet contrary to what the Jews expected of their Messiah and what...

The cross was a cosmic event which is not as obvious to us here on Earth. The great charge against God by the beautiful shining angel was that God is fundamentally self interested ie, selfish. His persuasiveness was considerable seeing a very large number of Heaven's inhabitants sided with his...

being aware of ones own cognition is helpful!

I'm asking how you understand the word 'watch'. I am not asking for a lecture because I asked the question.......further, if I was dull of hearing I wouldn't have asked the question in the first place......wake up!

The Fourth Commandment to Remember the Sabbath Day is no more ceremonial than Thou shalt not murder or steal or any of the other Ten.

This might surprise you Enoch. The records we have of violence in the OT are in a sense 'concessions'. Concessions in different ways. Firstly, the Hebrews did not know about or acknowledge another player in the Cosmic conflict till far later in their history. (the influences in the various...

This is quite an explanation PS.....the sum of it however in my thinking is that you have mixed imagination with truth. Here is an explanation... Firstly, the word 'Sabbath' as you no doubt know means rest or a break from the regular routine of activity. As you also know, the word was applied to...

I've used it as a metaphor for keeping up the insights and sharing them.

He was resting. Don't you think that qualifies for remembering the Sabbath day? :) Ever wonder why he didn't rise on the 7th day? I think he was making a point. :) b.) Yes, John was Jewish, but John, unlike most Jews of his day, was a believer in Christ, and therefore he was, like all we who...

I think it is an unjustified assumption to align the 'Lord's Day' with the first day of the week. Yes, he rose from the dead on the first day while resting on the seventh :) John was Jewish, his culture was Jewish, his language was Jewish......his expression 'The Lord's Day' was...

Oh, I understand what you're saying, I just don't agree with your conclusion. There is a far far more glorious vision than outlined in your view. However, I will say this, you have not understood what I mean't when I said 'folk conflate Old and New Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah'

What do you perceive 'watching' to consist of Davy?

Why qualify yourself as rocky soil? Conformity to the status quo hardly has one giving ones life for another Jesus never approved the status quo so why identify him with it?

The account is straight forward Eliyahu. If you choose not to believe it you are basically calling it a lie....you then substitute your own imagined theory. I could ask, did God open the Red Sea for the Israelites in the way it is described? why would I ask this? well, it's against the natural...

How smart is the Devil? A lot smarter than you Jack. :)

Discerning whether a particular point being made using a common myth or whether Jesus is presenting a thesis on the after life is helpful. The criteria we use for making this decision will determine the conclusion. Either way, if the criteria used is faulty, then the conclusion will be also...

The common Christian view is that the 7th day has been replaced by the 1st day yet there is no commandment of that nature even though attempts are made to justify this replacement. There is in Christian circles an acknowledgement that the Sabbath is to be kept but they have changed the...
