God is not a showman. The devil is. God loves intimacy and things done secretly...but in a good way. :) The devil puts on a show to deceive people. The devil loves crowds. Jesus walked away from crowds. Jesus approached individuals. His miracles were normally one on one. Miracles happen all...

There is the porcupine theory of loneliness. It goes like this... Two porcupines are cold so they try to warm themselves by coming closer in order to profit by each other's body heat. But they get too close and their quills jab into each other. So they recoil away from the pain of contact. That...

Present world? You are adding in your understanding to the words from God. You are adding in your own word as well. Have you so little respect for the word that you count your own added in "present" to be on the same level as what the Holy Spirit says? You are certainly not giving God a present...

It could very well be to show that the bride of Christ is in Him...His body. The part that is close to His heart.

Acting like dogs...hmmm. An interesting choice of animal for your idea. I prefer fish...and the new gills to breathe water rather than air. But your idea is sound. :)

Jesus had a body like ours and was subject to the same temptations as we are. Yet He was without sin. And the free gift of grace is to walk in HIS power and LIFE that is without sin....without any effort...simply by faith. By grace through faith. This is what the bible testifies of. Not a...

Even though the practice of forbidding to read the bible is heavy-handed and false...one can see why this was ordered seeing as the result of bible ownership and readership...the thousands of human interpretations that have arisen since bringing endless schisms to the church. As with anything...

The opposite is true. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. To SEE the kingdom of God right now...you need a new kind of life with new faculties. Spiritual faculties. What you could have said that no soul can enter into the kingdom with carnal faculties stemming from a carnal life.

You are on a fishing expedition here....and you aren't getting any bites. ;) To be born from above means that you are given new spiritual faculties and nature by the Holy Spirit. When a child is born into the world...a new life is brought into it with the faculties to perceive that world. So...

Outside of Christ, yes, we all sin. In Christ we don't sin...because IN Him is NO sin. 1 John 3:45 “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.” Did you know this?

Delusion says...I don't need to labour to enter the rest of God...because I already have that by my opinion.

A puny god indeed. Can you imagine Jesus controlling Mary to pour the ointment on His head?! Utter foolishness. Did Jesus make a woman wash His feet? Of course not! Was the centurion mind-controlled into having faith in Christ? Why would Jesus be amazed then?

Nonsense... What winds of doctrine lead to in loss of all logic and perspective. o_O

But faith DOES the impossible. Throwing mountains and trees into the sea. Raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out demons AND...walking in the presence of God. :)

Jesus made the law fully impossible for men to do in their own strength because He was going to give His followers the power to do it by grace in the power of the Lord. When it comes to OUR part in righteousness... it is to admit that we can't do it in our weakness. So then OUR righteousness...

The fear of the Lord remains the beginning of wisdom. That is if one understands what is at stake. Half of the virgins are rejected in the parable of the 10 virgins. Being born again puts us in a race that half of us will succeed in to some measure. What of the many crying out Lord Lord....who...

The challenge of the one called to be a saint is to grow downward as well as upward. IOW we must also increase in humility as we grow in the knowledge of the Lord and of His ways. I remember asking a young man to draw me a tree on a whiteboard (he was learning) ...when he finished I remarked...

Good to see you back in fine form dishes or no dishes! :)

God's law: God is love. As such His commands reflect His nature. If we love then we fulfill the law of God. Against love there is no law. The law of Moses: Usually means the laws pertaining to temple holiness. Things like sacrificing the right things at the right time. Being ceremonially...

Salvation is conditional. If it was only a free gift then why wouldn't God grant the same gift for every person ever born...seeing that God doesn't respect persons. So then if salvation is conditional there is our part to do...to be faithful till the end. If a man is married to the same woman...
