    "In Christ": What does it really mean?

    abiding in the vine! hmmmmmm. I s'pose we could tell that to Moslems or to Hindu's and they'd really get it!

    Legalism in religion

    Did you know that legalists do not believe they are legalists? .... in fact they think exactly the opposite.

    "In Christ": What does it really mean?

    Yes, even to the point of how we see ourselves which is mostly (at least in my case) as unworthy. Our status is now Princes and Princesses of the Kingdom and we are bidden to see ourselves as such.

    "In Christ": What does it really mean?

    lol ....however, with respect. 'Dim' for me means 'preaching at' as opposed to talking to or with a person. If some has something they find valuable to understand, share it without shoving it into someones face :) 'Dim' for me also means the need to be defensive or objectionable....the which I...

    Nightmare scenario

    As you rightly say Keraz, they are your writings ie, not the writings of scripture. For example, here you say God is responsible for blinding peoples eyes when the testimony of scripture is:- 2 Corinthians 4:4 'whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    God is saying to Adam, 'talk to me' don't out me. God has always wanted to talk to us yet we (people, humanity) insist that God only wants to talk to us if we jump through certain hoops, if we measure up, if we are good enough....whatever that means......and so we out God by our own perceptions...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Yes, our iniquities have separated us. It does not say God was separated from us. For goodness sakes, he came and identified with us in Jesus so that we could see his affection toward us When Adam blew it in the garden, he was the one who went into hiding, not God. God went looking for him...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    This text is right. Can you imagine that God does not require blood? ....and sacrifice? how are we to understand that? How have we traditionally seen this? or, how else could it be seen which is consistent with God's character? When you work like blazers to put your kid through college, is not...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    you are right, he doesn't play games....and this is not a game.....it's good news.....news better than we can imagine......and surprisingly, it doesn't conflict with scripture but it does conflict with what men expect from God.

    Why does darkness not comprehend the light?

    Why does darkness not comprehend the light? Because it's in denial......and feels threatened.

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    No? c'mon, I'm not asking you to give me your PIN number, I'm just asking you to consider what I've put out......and may I ask, why the resistance?

    Nightmare scenario

    Yes, we should know about it. The issue is how one sees/hears not just what one sees......in order to gain understanding At Jesus crucifixion what do you think the soldiers saw? and the religious tight shorts?......What do you think the disciples saw? and Jesus' mother? All were looking at...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    consider this DJT....our sins are forgiven ie, not held against us even before we were born as love hold no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:5 I understand this throws a spanner into the standard interpretation. Could it be that's what Jesus came to do?....to reveal the love of the Father in...

    Nightmare scenario

    you know Keraz, occasionally I quote scripture but even when I don't, how does that make me wrong? You don't make any enquiry as to why I believe what I believe and label what I say 'wild assertions' so why would posting scripture make a difference?.....and even if I did, would you bother...

    Do you think only people aged 25 should be allowed to use and own guns?

    it's not the age or the guns, it's the culture......maturing... you can expect more!

    This Makes More Sense To Me Now

    The detail highlights God's people being from 'everywhere', the twelve x twelve factor indicating completeness. This deduction I've determined from the awareness that God's people are from every nation, tribe and people. There are not two groups ie, Jews and Gentiles. There is only one...
