I think setting up a graded system which mirrors that of Earth's systems is fraught with problems. The Kingdom of God is of a nature at odds with the kingdoms of men. The Kingdom of God's centres around love expressed in humility. Humility is not to be weaponised as if it is lower position...

@Keraz, I will throw this into the mix, The book of Revelation opens with 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ....' Could we not deduct from this opening statement that a revealing is to follow; in fact a revealing of Jesus? ie, something extra/ extraordinary/ insightful?

I would revisit the idea that spirits can not die.

It's no cop out being objective Keraz. It allows one to question ones preconceptions and become aware of the eisegesis rampant in the interpretation of scripture. You claim exegesis but practice eisegesis. If you didn't you would have no issues with the principle and practice of objectivity...

I will ask politely.....where is your objectivity? You use the text to underpin your foregone conclusions yet the text addresses a different matter altogether. You are reading into the text what you want it to say. Secondly, your quote of Isaiah 29:9-12 as quoted below, (NIV) can equally be...

lol....Monikers! how revealing they are! How many liars tell the truth?.....of course their hand goes up volunteering for honesty......and insight. False humility is busted at the front door (monikers) .....for the literate........because pride can not help itself. You enter as the 'Learner'...

Using the available time to attempt to unravel the many hypocrisies floating around everywhere leaves no time for sharing the good news of hope. Telling others how wrong they are and what the right thing is to believe only fertilises self righteousness....in oneself. People are lost.....many...

I s'pose Christian websites which I assume are for encouragement and growth in the knowledge that brings hope has morphed into a political battle arena where the kingdoms of this world engage in the language of running the opposition down.....and not only that, it's purveyors unashamedly glory...

ohhhh, you mean the judgement hasn't been passed yet? So much for innocent till proven guilty! or you mean God is itching to heap judgement upon judgement?.....what, because he loved them enough to die for but has had a change of mind? At every point your logic breaks down and falls flat Scott.

the statement by Peter of a thousand years is as on day and a day as a thousand years is saying no more than time is not relevant in God's reality as we see it. It becomes a travesty when we take this expression and shape it to fit our faulty views. It further ensures the conflation takes us...

having cast our sins into the sea there now is no need for payback (eternal suffering in hell)

they wanted to get rid of him because of what he read from Isaiah ........they correctly understood he was applying it to himself.......this was intolerable to them.

I suppose a virgin conceiving without a man is illogical and unreasonable also......and what about this that Jesus said, “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I...

I can't say your anthropology class or the beliefs of ancient cultures would be credible references for truth.

The add blocking places I checked some months ago wanted access to a variety of personal information. I don't recall the details right now. Anyway, I felt it was sufficiently intrusive to be dissuaded from their service.

An excerpt The current political-social climate that has transferred into our spiritual community has given Brad and I a significant amount of distress – a rather uneasy and alarming sensation. We have been experiencing an intense need to sit back, mourn, take a deep spiritual breath, and...

objectivity allows one to step outside the ring.

hmmmm, now that's an interesting way of saying, I don't understand what you're saying because I don't understand.

of course Nancy ......after giving them permission to access your info :)

The ability to read the minds of others is something I'm unfamiliar with.....and I dare say others are in the same boat. Any claims to that skill are the direct route to lack of credibility. Anyone expecting others to read minds doesn't understand communication.
