    The Lord God of Israel has visited?

    For a person to say the bible does not contradict itself indicates the speaker does not know the bible irrespective of all the barking that is done. Yes, there are contradictions in the bible but does this mean God contradicts himself. I don't think so. Discovering how this works opens windows...

    Self-Discipline

    We all generate waste and it is in our interest to keep our ar.se clean.....thats a given! It applies as a metaphor as well. Life and discipline are a couplet if one wants a reasonable quality of life.....with the smallest detail extending to the largest, meaning, if one is faithful in little...

    When to give up on someone?

    Nobody converts anybody! The constant use of 'subjective logic' by opposing sides assuming they have better leverage is the high point of human rational. Its only testimony is to ego's outta control!

    Does forgiveness require atonement?

    If you have courage to take your question and run with it......to be like a dog with a bone and not let go......an inextinguishable light will go on.

    Counterfeit gospel.

    Emphasis on the Gospel is its own witness. Emphasis on whatever one considers a false gospel only decoys from the real! The available space filled with mans logic makes many words but never enlightens anyone to life.

    Waiting for responses...

    Life is Knowledge of CHRIST

    You presume far too much Joe. Chill some. There are enough accusing voices already ie, peoples own consciences and the devil's consistent goading and blaming. People know they fall short.....they live in a constant state of slow burning anxiety. Christians of all people are to offer light in a...

    Why is the doctrine of election repugnant to many?

    You have addressed me in this way before Johann. Why the condescension?

    Why is the doctrine of election repugnant to many?

    Love by its very nature allows freedom of choice. Choice opens the possibility of risk. If God is love, he is vulnerable to abuse.....to being used. Just look at the stuff going on in our Planet today......is God being abused in his creatures? Can we even imagine the long-suffering required to...

    What's in a Tree?

    It's not so much a proverb zig zag as it is the thoughts that spill over from my heart. When I read them back to myself I have to read slowly otherwise the intent is easy to miss or the emphasis is put in a wrong place. What I'm saying zig zag is, a question at a time allows my small brain to...
