That Jesus died for all men is no myth. How you understand it might be a myth and to confuse the two plays the devil’s cards

I don’t think it’s necessary to make it a mystery or complicated. The context tells us it’s Jesus coming in the clouds of heaven. The language used is how the Hebrews thought, eg; the shepherds on Bethlehem’s hill were told the sign for them will be a baby in a donkey’s feed box etc. ...

Lack of insight assumes I’m trashing English bibles!

Qualifications are meaningless to those who don’t understand.

...and that’s only in English. Now you can start a Chinese collection of the scriptures and when you’ve gone thru those you can check out the the African languages, do you then think you’ll have it down pat?

Forgiveness by its very nature does not require a payment. If a payment is required it is a trade. I would ask, can not God forgive gratuitously? I believe he can. Jesus demonstrated this several times; the case of the paralytic comes to mind. The question we must now ask is, how is it that we...

The essence of scripture is spiritual with a historical backdrop. Hearts that are without integrity will never get it because God is not mocked.

Consider the word ‘sacrifice’. Traditionally it is understood as God requiring the death of a victim but sacrifice can also be understood as God giving his ‘life’ as opposed to his death. We killed him, not God. We couldn’t handle God’s kindness and he allowed us to take his life not because he...

The flesh was resurrected

As a young person not long after becoming a Christian and coming out of a main service I was conscious of my rings in both ears. I thought to myself, you are one hell of a cool dude. Instantly I felt this overwhelming disgust because of my pride. I took them out there and then and threw them...

I see, so the wine’s following the salad. Personally, I don’t care for wine even though I love it and I don’t toss the salad; I eat it.

I see this as a forgone conclusion in a persons mind. They love their preconceptions right or wrong so anything that appears to challenge them is without further ado rejected.

I was pulling your leg zig zag. The scripture records these words of the guys after Jesus vanished on them ‘didn’t our hearts burn when he opened to us the scriptures’ ...a play on the words ‘hearts burn’

Wow, thanks for the support APAK...it has come unexpectedly.

I see OT writers as having insight coupled with limitations the which Jesus shone light into. The final word is that of Jesus when it comes to God’s character.

well zig zag, if it’s any consolation I don’t wear jewellery or make up or perfume or dresses either, and shoes, well I’ve had the same pair for over ten years and they’re not wearing out...maybe it’s got something to do with hardly wearing them....so, here’s my instruction for a condescender...

So when Paul pulled Peter into line, he was inappropriate? ... or are you quoting judgement texts against me to validate self glorification?

I have a sister who works in pathology. She tells me the amount of people who come in with side effects and very fearful because of them does not go reported. There are lots. She also tells me that others who work in the same field are experiencing the same manifestations.

Now regarding the heart burn; perhaps the guys on the road to Emmaus ....after they met Jesus needed cider vinegar...whadya thunk?

You might reconsider what ‘fire’ is intended to mean. I think in California they back burn so that when the fire arrives it has no more fuel.
