Good on you Wynona. Keep up the fight and the kick! Just don't fight me or kick me o_O

My preference is to use I instead of we, to use me or my instead of our. Speaking in the first person allows me to own my stuff....it makes me self honest. Speaking in the third person is a convenient way of diffusing ownership.....subsequently giving myself permission to be dishonest with myself.

What I can say is, if one's hope is contingent upon stopping sinning.....good luck with that! I have a neighbour who is past his eighties. He is devout and has been for many years yet has no assurance of salvation. I asked him, based on his performance ie, the experience he has had through the...

It means that extracting things from the bible to suit one's agenda does not qualify as 'the word of God'

how do you imagine friendship can develop when in your post above there are mixed messages?

'but' can mean an alternative way of seeing however, the context defines whether that is the case or if it is used to appear a certain way when the reality is different.

LAMB...did you know that the word 'but' inserted after making a statement nullify's what was stated?

Not to argue with you ewq1938 but to offer something to consider; the Jews who had Jesus lined up for murder quoted the 'bible' plentifully. As you no doubt know, Jesus said of them 'you search the scriptures thinking that in them you have eternal life but they are they which testify of me, yet...

Interesting Karl ...I've got to know a lot about you....and a lot of advice. The question is, what have I learned about Jesus which would draw me to him?

:)

It's near impossible to reveal something unfamiliar to somebody who has already made up their mind.

Israel, dad, are those who overcome, just like Jacob did. He overcame is doubt and unbelief.......and they will be gathered, every single one that qualifies as Israel, at Jesus return in the clouds. The dead will be raised and the living translated......this mortal shall put on immortality and...

Jesus did not regularly say, 'if you have ears to hear then hear,' for no reason. The tendency to shoot ones mouth off as if one is an authority is every fools game.....and for those who see/hear, it is obvious. Two ears and one mouth ought to tell us much......but who can hear it?

and J.A.T. Robinson is an authority on which euphemisms apply and which don't? Would it be considered that the destination of those who die is the grave? We need to be mindful of where to major and where to minor and who (the situation) we are dealing with.......and that being pedantic is...

How is it that advice is dished out as if the advisor knows. All sorts of logic is employed as if by logic one can arrive at truth......and how is it that the advisor hasn't factored in that the very process he/she uses could actually dupe themselves?

really?

You've saved all these? why have you bothered? Humans it seems do not/can not resist self glorification; it matters not what form it is packaged in. It can be in an overt style like in a fashion parade or it can be in the style of self depreciation.......either way, self becomes the...

The long and the short of it is, the nations are stressed....for whatever reason real or fabricated......and I think it'll continue to ratchet up until a so called solution is somehow agreed on.......even a 'solution' which will incriminate God's people .....and down the track, even call for...

hmmmm, shaking off the dust hey?.... Is that like you did to me when I put you the spot? Never mind, you're loved nevertheless......even when you make it difficult! :)

The expression 'Old Testament Sabbath' is an overlay. The scripture speaks of the Sabbath given to Man (humanity). It is no more old testament than is don't kill, don't steal or don't commit adultery. We are to remember the Sabbath....ie, not forget it or change it or give it some other spin...
