    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset?

    Interesting that you mention vulnerability Fluff. God is vulnerable....have we ever imagined that? His incarnation an exercise in ultimate vulnerability.....why should we imagine he is any different any other time? Love is vulnerability. One cannot truly love without being vulnerable. Has all...

    What are the Characteristics of God that are His and His Alone?

    I find 'love holds no record of wrongs' gives me a particular perspective I have not always held. It throws a spanner in the works of how I have seen. How do I reconcile this with judgement as I have understood it?

    What are the Characteristics of God that are His and His Alone?

    I think 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 reflect God's characteristics and we can push it further and include Matthew 5:3-12 God does not ask us to be something he is not. 1 Cor. 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is...

    The Real Rightly Divide Meaning

    what needs to be sorted is a 'gentle Jesus meek and mild', a God who loves to the point of giving his life and a Jesus who is itching to kick arse. Or have we aligned Jesus with all the other so called gods of the world who sit in privileged positions and and are depicted with muscles and brut...

    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset?

    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset? If you mean are there accounts of weeping and upset?...you betcha! I've probably wept more in the last five years than the last fifty. And why do I weep? Because I see things in the world, I see things in myself and I see things in God's kindness. The tears...

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    I think so. God speaks to the heart in whatever which way according to the circumstance. I'm certain when Paul got knocked of his donkey and had three days to think about his stuff in blindness, the whole person was involved...the cerebral, the emotional and very clearly the physical.

    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset?

    what you're saying sbg is no joke. The system thrives on lies, particularly religious lies and confusion is its fruit.....and you wanna know why people medicate!

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    The devils which motivated men to crucify Jesus where at the crucifixion, you can be certain of that and I don't think they went to Barbados for a holiday afterwards. They would have been witness to the resurrection also

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    the devils believe Jesus died, was buried and resurrected....does that qualify them as believers?

    Has anyone cast out demons?

    Is it not Jesus who casts the Demon out ...has he not got enough authority? The whole program of it taking a long time and having to engage other people sounds suspect to me.....it sounds like 'incantations' of the 'right' sort must be exercised.

    "not of works, lest anyone should boast."

    well I'm glad you have a sense of humour

    "not of works, lest anyone should boast."

    perhaps you want or need spoon feeding?

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    Here is an offering AJ to give another perspective. I'm assuming you mean by 'brotherhood' the Jehovahs Witness Organisation...is that right? Being a brotherhood does not qualify for the right. Motorcycle gangs also have an extensive brotherhood. God's Kingdom hmmm. We have had chats here re...

    "not of works, lest anyone should boast."

    Put some effort in. Go back and look at the words used in the conversation.....a light should go on!

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    Why are you trying to trap me? God's love is not limited to a few...it over flows for every child of Adam!

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    believing the gospel does not just stay as a cerebral exercise bbyrd, it involves the whole person just as when love grows between people.....and when love is fully grown one will give ones life for the other. Isn't that an emotional investment of the highest order?
