My position is; all mankind are 'in Christ' unless they choose to be out. Choosing to be out often appears as choosing to be in; that is the deception we are to be mindful of. God's affection is toward all men in real terms, ie he gave his life for them.

grrrrrrr, I'm sharpening my teeth and grinding my axe ;)

like I said ewq, unless the text is overt, you miss it.

'Narrow' is when the text is dismissed because it doesn't overtly say what one specifically wants it to say......and maybe you can enlighten me how/where my view is so wide but don't see it?

ewq, how to say this?.....your view is so narrow you do not understand how narrow it is. You think you stick to the biblical text yet what you're actually sticking to is a muddle. A timber cartwheel mentality will never keep up with inflated rubber tyres. Anyway, as long as you defend what you...

I would ask, Please hear the question!

stay strong MD, stay strong!

'If you ask anything in my name I will do it'.....Jesus. John 13:13-14 Let's see HOW we understand this saying of Jesus! That's right, we'll discuss it. Could it mean the ability to get God's ear is contingent on more people praying? Does it mean that if we tack 'in Jesus name' at the end of...

hardly!

really?......I thought I heard something of that nature......but confirmation is always helpful. o_O

I am so right my head bursts with pride....no, wait.....I am so wrong my head bursts with pride! Ahhhhh, what the jiminy cricket, either way even my ego wants to hide from that one!.....right, we'll just blame and blame and blame and maybe if we speak long and loud enough, the boat will float!

In that no matter what we threw at him in.......we gave him our worst, he still forgave. He never resorted to revenge or unkindness of any sort....allowing us to even kill him. Jesus gave us a picture of God's character totally contrary to the gods we create....even those within the Christian...

God's full revelation of himself or at least that which matters to us saddled with death, has been given in Jesus. The question is how do we see him?

Our view is generally from Man to God, ie how we see things have evolved out there including God but could it be that our awareness needs be God towards us?

A violent God is standard fare within denominations. Is it any wonder the adherents justify ugly characteristics? Anything that challenges this violence will rattle the standard position.

it did cross my mind....and I hoped it was vanilla flavoured.

you touch my heart with your words sbg

There is an overwhelming tendency of man to think that God works in similar parameters as himself. For instance, men assume that God wants us to serve his interests when Jesus demonstrated that God wants to serve our interests. Men take it for granted that ability and fitness is the way to...

I've got to agree that peoples attention span today is painfully short and my guess is it's because they are used to having every thing dished up to them and spoon fed. Everything from the colour of their hair to the thickness of their lips......thinking becomes too much of a chore......it...
