    The Great Crowd

    I don't find these scriptures complicated doxley. We are dealing with Jewish writers. They repeat the same thing in different ways the western mindset interprets as addressing a different matter when in fact it is the same looked at from a different angle. In Rev. 7:4 John hears the number who...

    I don’t do tattoos

    The conflict of the ages has ever been one of worshipping God or something else. I doubt that currency, whatever form it takes is the factor referred to in Revelation 13:16-17

    Controversial... Hence debate forum.

    If you knew the Father AJ you would know Jesus also as he is a witness to and of the Father. It is Jesus who manifests the Father, it is Jesus to whom all the apostles bear witness and they invite us into the fellowship they have with both the Father and the Son. It is clear to me from your...

    Firstly AJ I'm not talking about 'that 'hand waving' 'swaying' "falling down" "Praise the Lord" kind of religion makes my skin crawl..' no more than if I asked you if you had an emotional relationship with your husband....which I assume you do have or have had. Sooo, tell me about your...

    allow me to ask you this, do you have an emotional connection with Jesus?

    What is Predetermined?

    You can only conclude as you do kcnalp if you dismiss the factor of love. God's love makes him vulnerable as is anyone who loves. It means those who love can be exploited. It means Jesus was a man of sorrows acquainted with grief. It means Jesus would rather allow himself to be killed than kill...

    wow, you have conjured quiet a story AJ.....and what you say, 'Joining the dots can lead you in many directions if you don’t know what dots to join' is pertinent. The imagination it seems knows no bounds.

    ...they follow the lamb wherever he goes...

    so here we have what I see as a common dilemma.....how we understand. You are not sure but it seems the verses are clear you say. I wonder if the dilemma is compounded by how we see....particularly if we acknowledge the verses are clear?.....so we mix metaphor and literal, flipping backwards...

    since the bible is perfect

    since the bible is perfect I think this is overstated. The 66 books from different authors written in a variety of times reflect their strengths and limitations. Limitations Jesus came to straighten out.....and he did. The straightening showed up the limitations. Understanding this opens the...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    It means that he has put this day aside by blessing and hallowing it.....or maybe you think you are at liberty to disregard what God has set aside and substitute a day that suits you better? Edit....sorry for my shortness, it's not intended to be unkind.

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    God's finger written ten stand. For us mortals it is the basic measure of what constitutes sin.

    stumbling blocks in my life

    We overcome by taking fast hold of that immovable rock Jesus. Holding it with a loose rein makes us a plaything of the evil one. Holding fast is like breathing....every breath you take delivers oxygen.....slacken off and you wilt. Cry for help when the thought to capitulate surfaces....before...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Matthew 12:1-8 1At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. 2When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” 3He answered, “Haven’t...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    the expression 'Day of the Lord' is assumed to be Sunday because as you know it is argued from the point of the resurrection but the association is incorrect. Jesus tells us which day he is Lord of .....the context is indisputable.

    ...they follow the lamb wherever he goes...

    If our ideas are too sacrosanct to be questioned we have an issue. Questioning for the honest enquirer is a means of discovering new and serendipitous things. In my own mind I am always right until I realise I am wrong....then I change my mind and I am right again ;)

    ...they follow the lamb wherever he goes...

    why do you say they'll be Jews/ Eunuchs if its metaphor, Nancy?......and how do you understand 'pure'?
