Law in its external form is only necessary when there is a reason for it to be. If no one has ever killed, why make a law that says don't kill" If adultery does not exist or is not known why have a law prohibiting it? It would be like a law that says nobody is to gouge out eyes. It's irrelevant...

I see retribution has the priority in your post AJ and mercy never gets a mention. Is this not the same MO as the world?

hmmm, what a can of worms.....each blaming the other! Blaming! where does that spirit come from?

The Kingdom of God! What is it? I've been throwing this question around in my mind for some years now. As we know, many of the things Jesus spoke pertain to the Kingdom of God. How is it the understanding of what he meant is so elusive? Are we looking for treasure where there is no...

I wouldn't be so quick to draw the conclusions you have Cooper......you might find it condemns yourself.

With respect AJ, tell me what you think I'm saying? I'm asking because I suspect you have not heard my replies to your question.

why do you think its women to women and men to men Cassandra?

lol....it tells a story doesn't it? Just look at the solutions men come up with....especially ones involving sexual activity. I find it laughable that there's all this noise in Christian circles about doing away with law while at the same time they invent laws/rules by the truck load. Anyway...

That is apparent AJ. Have you made a God in your own image and likeness?....have you reduced him to one like fallen man in his values, priorities and generosity? Self honesty begs an answer....not to me but to yourself The Pharisee's in Jesus day also had a God they said was from...

further.....the strength, determination and love required to have all power and authority to then allow oneself as did Jesus to defer to the Father....to allow oneself be killed and that in a protracted torturous public way, totally disarms any concept that Jesus's attitude is that of domination...

Would you believe it if I showed you?.....Would you believe that with Jesus you are looking straight at God's declaration? Do you really think that Jesus hanging on a cross who clearly said he could call on ten thousand angels to rescue him if he desired but who chose to allow the darkness to...

God's Kingdom is not a new thing....at least not if one pans out far enough from our stricken planet. We are the Death Star so to speak in all God's handiwork and it is here that Jesus prays 'thy kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven' I would venture to say the term 'heaven' is not...

I see you haven't answered the question of what the Kingdom of God actually is even when the reality of Jesus defines it clearly. You have sidestepped it in favour of the principle of dominance. To reiterate, the Kingdom of God aka as the reality of God is a kingdom of service and inclusion...

Perhaps you could enlighten me?

I am of the understanding God's Kingdom consists of gathering, in particular the lost and the lame. Exclusion is exercised willingly by pride and better than thou attitudes by the very ones who feel entitled.....and dare I say it; they exclude themselves. God's Kingdom does not exercise force...

e Effectively AJ you've set yourself up to be like those you are criticising!

Your serpentine approach Curtis is to your own hurt.

I would insert 'noise' in place of 'musical' :)

An audience which listens to street preachers is there by choice. If there is no willing audience and a preacher keeps rabbiting on, it speaks poorly of him. 'Bible bashing' and self promotion has nothing in common with God's Spirit.

I don't read that Paul's audience was unreceptive. I read the Jews stirred certain people up and generated opposition.
