    did you say there were free people?

    Politics and violence

    Violence is the solution of the short sighted carnal man.....so short sighted in fact that they make a God in their own image. Did Jesus fight? of course he did ....but what were his weapons and how did he employ them? .....Jesus said, all who take the sword will die by the sword.....so we must...

    Tongues

    there are lots of known tongues here flapping on about their excellent swimming skills while they drown and a few unknown tongues trying to deliver bouyancy rings to those who speak of being great swimmers.

    "Salvation" is the gift of Eternal Life - it's FOREVER.

    yes, one for the foolish and one for those who realise they are foolish!

    What is the enlightenment?

    I s'pose its not the short sighted, culturally bounded, religiously trapped generous slathering of a sickly sweet ego?

    What is the enlightenment? When one believes and trusts that Jesus has your back.

    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There?

    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There? I don't know about the rest of us turkey's, however, this brown duck is gonna stretch his legs and do some running just like Jake Sully when he connects with his avatar.

    What is Predetermined?

    What is Predetermined? For God so loved the World he gave his only begotten Son. Maybe we want it to be a complex academic exercise so our ego is stroked as we engage but frankly, it is God's emotional involvement with humanity on a level which leaves those who see it gob smacked.

    The Rich man in Hell

    When you look at your wife? you do it with your eyes....its called a vision.....its not called a hearing or a feeling. The word 'vision' is interchangeable according to context....and I think you know that.

    The Rich man in Hell

    I don't think so!

    The Rich man in Hell

    the idea of an afterlife when one dies is straight from the manuals of pagan philosophy......it is not biblical.

    The Rich man in Hell

    'the vision' means what they saw. Now when you look at the news on television of a volcano erupting in the pacific do you reduce that to something that didn't actually happen? Scripture tells us Enoch never saw death and Elijah was translated. Where to is the question?

    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There?

    I s'pose all the souls come in handy as bricklayers and painters and putting in the sewerage system.....and of course someones got to dig the foundation....I mean, do they have excavators or is it pick and shovel work.....can't just have those souls piled up under the altar over the...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    all the barking in the world about being born again will not generate a new birth.....so why bark?

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    The door to your understanding. Wherever there is self honesty you will find that how you understand today will not be the same in a few years. Liken our journey to a learning process. God is very long-suffering with our short and limited view, however, he will advance understanding to the self...

    2 Things to : "study to show yourself approved"

    keep the door open without allowing dogmatism and self evaluation to justify any view.

    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There?

    In Hebrews here, Paul is addressing Jewish Christians who are being tempted to go back to Judaism...included in that was the worship of angels. His various points highlight the supremacy of Jesus....this is the context. Angels are ministering spirits for sure and if we see the stars in Jesus'...

    Who Goes to Heaven.....and What Will They Do There?

    any scriptural reference needs understanding in its context to come to an accurate conclusion. Quoting texts from different quadrants of scripture irrespective of context but because they seem to sound the same puts one behind the eight ball immediately and sets oneself up for self sabotage.
