Lovely!

yeah, we know what the many Christians do....that experience is known to multitudes. It is done and experienced because the Kingdom of God is foreign....so foreign in fact they are lost when it comes to explaining it let alone living in it.

Let's exhaust this one. ....and I would add, what if Jesus has it covered even if there is no repentance??....ohhhhhh, now I'm going out on a limb, however please don't jump to conclusions using the principles of the kingdom of men; the 'paradigm' which drips from our lips before we've...

I've come to understand that God's 'thing' is so radical even those who are 'devout' have difficulty grasping its overflowing magnanimity Through the centuries this breathtaking generosity of God has only been seen by few. We would rather settle for something less radical. Jesus summarised it as...

We are to obey, that is a given yet who of us obeys as one should....as we know we should? More questions are being given birth to and are well worthy of discussion but so the topic is not derailed it would be good if 'The Kingdom of God' can be nutted out; perhaps better said, opened up and...

Many of the parables if not most start with 'the Kingdom of God is like.....' .....a mustard seed, a lost sheep. a lost coin etc. If it doesn't start with that preface, the intention is the same. Using likenesses, Jesus is communicating the nature of his reality and that of the Father, however...

Hey there Sydney girl......Of a truth it is the Kingdom of God that Jesus spoke of.....nay, lived it. When he sent the seventy out in pairs to share the same message......most of whom left him afterwards. What do we suppose they told the people? The question is pertinent however it is not a...

how come he didn't wink at Eve taking the fruit ?

GB11....those voices afflict us all and if it wasn't for the knowledge that God's verdict of me is otherwise, I would believe them and they would crush me. I thank God for his promises, for his long-suffering and that in truth I am his precious child.

Yes, it would be unwise......and the foolishness of it is, it disables ones ability to see what has been given. The term 'God's wrath' is not so much a madness that God has toward the sinner as is often supposed but rather the sinners own demise which he initiates and perpetrates upon...

What else is there of value to discuss about God except his overwhelmingly great love for us? Its height, its depth, its width or has it become a cliche from which one moves onto bigger and better things.....ones that are neat and tidy and fit into ones cut and clipped paradigm where we can with...

The self accusing voices reinforcing 'you are not good enough, you are not good enough' has people in despair. Then comes the Gospel, 'you are accepted in the beloved'. The prodigal says, I'm only worthy to be a servant and the older brother possibly thinks even less BUT the Father see's him...

I want you to think. Noah's great 120 year adventure of building the ark was a public affair. He probably ran tours as curious onlookers came to hear his story. Probably had a McDonalds in there for burgers and coffee? :) They had plenty of time but made light of it. Even when the animals rocked...

God's love is like seeds produced in excessive overflowing abundance. It pours down like sunshine in bucket loads.....it gives and gives and gives and then gives some more. It is inexhaustible. There is never a time when Gods love for his creatures will be less than what humans and angels have...

Be assured Nancy, the ratcheting up of difficulties has begun in earnest....and it will not abate for long. We will be challenged everywhere we go even in isolated areas, however, the intensity will be focused in the most populated areas....I see it happening here in Oz. Forty years ago I...

Yes, it is what Paul preached and thats what I am saying. It is how you see that obscures. You look at the Gospel through the limitations of self absorbed man. You confuse God's overarching love with some legal formula because you can't imagine that God is greater than our own selfish hearts...

You are missing the magnanimity of God. What other God would make himself vulnerable to his creatures and forgive those who abuse him? He came so that we might see his nature; one that would prefer to be killed rather than to kill. The fact that people reject that magnanimity is to their own...

All means all....every single person who has ever existed. As to your other questions, you need to get familiar with Paul epistles.....he outlines the Good News clearly. You could also watch and or listen to the video presentations and or podcasts listed in my signature below.

Jesus is the new representative of the Human race. Where Adam failed, Jesus gains the victory. We die because of no fault of our own. Our death is the result of Adams sin....mortality is inherited from Adam. Mortality was overcome by Jesus on behalf of all people. 2 Timothy 1:10 'But is now...

Take look at the video presentations and or podcasts listed in my signature below.....you'll find them encouraging.
