@Aunty Jane Here is my statement (description) from post #423.. here is your response in post #431... ...you then go on to muddle the matter :) I see it as a decoy, a convenient sidestep to avoid further implications.

I see you have hitched your belief to the wagon of others and cannot fathom it being independent of Jesus. There are so many wagons to hitch to, none of which are mandatory. I think your conclusions have lost their objectivity and are intimately entwined with individuals whom I think have lost...

Shock horror! ...there are actually sinners around in sanctified places! well I'll be! When you find the holy crowd, let me know :)

stealth!

I suppose Jonah drowned in the belly of the fish .....unless he was a good breath holder (for three days) and oxygen deprivation gave him visions. Does it really matter? Is it any big deal for God to resurrect the dead?

lol....sounds like the standard mantra coming from very quarter Mary.....you know, 'them and us'

I guess the whole incident with the Syro-Phonecian woman and other deemed recalcitrant ethnicities which Jesus interacted with were not indicators that Jesus was not ethnically exclusive!

I suppose there are so many holes dug by so many folk, all the digging would qualify them as holy and in due course ready for translation to fairer worlds on high! How is your hole digging going Mary?....or do you see vista's beyond the average digger?

In a certain sense AJ, I am not really surprised that you don't understand what I mean however I do wonder why couching the biblical story in contemporary language is beyond your ability to relate to. Perhaps it's because your enjoyment of a biblical discussion ends at that point? ie, the...

Why was there a reformation? It was badly needed and long overdue!

don't allow yourself to be pushed into something you don't want or don't feel comfortable with....church or no church!

The sermon on the mount is Jesus's seminal statement on God's values. Power is given a new definition.....a definition which gives hope to the lowly and confusion to the self righteous.

The believers walk is aptly portrayed in John Bunyans 'Pilgrims Progress'. Anyone who hasn't read it needs to. Along the walk there are descriptions of the side roads, the deceptions and the many trickeries exercised on those who partake of the journey. Although this journey is singular there...

He told them to stay in one house re domicile.....that's the context. You are trying to shoehorn the account into meaning visiting homes for the purpose of sharing the gospel. JW's do not visit homes for the purpose of staying while they're in town.

since being here the subject has been sincerely flogged with the agreeance factor small but the whipping factor big

ohhhh! because I said what was true?

yeah, let's do that....all those whips must about be due for replacement :)

seems to me your whole country has been set up for major pain management.....and if you don't have it they'll legislate so that you do.

I'd be interested in hearing what your thoughts are Fluffy!

I suppose that means you have a Penthouse on the coast? I didn't know that folk in that situation prayed for miracles. Do they want to go down a couple of floors to keep them humble? On the other hand maybe they want to go up so the view they have is greater? :)
