The ability to love the unlovely......who is it that knows this treasure? Herein are the children of God determined! ....all else qualifies as smoke screens and self deception.

John 14:29 John 16:4. :)

Sensationalism Rita...people get off on it and the flap of disinformation and lies is indiscernible to those given over to it. The warnings against deception are plentiful enough yet how to discern is not independent of God's guidance. I read in Timothy of people being awash in a strong...

Romans 10:9....this was my flagship verse in my younger years along with John 10:28. It gave me comfort in turmoil like no other.

The matter of righteousness is a worthy subject to understand. A surface understanding does not allow the heinousness of sin to be seen. And where and how is this to be understood?.....by revelation only....when our hearts desire for righteousness cries out to God for understanding.

I think you are making it too complicated for yourself duckie. Righteousness starts with your conscience.....from there, God will lead you further. Being true to what we understand (the little) precedes being given more. Righteousness/holiness is not graspable intellectually without it being a...

More and more of this or similar will be seen and with it all manner of interpretations. In my view these manifestations are none other than the Prince of the power of the air. I don't know what the exact purpose of this display is but I do know that satan does and will set the populations of...

My kids have grown and dealing with little ones is a just a faded memory. 'Daddy will you wipe my bottom' stands out. Today it's solo living but being organised is essential if I want to live in relative comfort and at peace, particularly in this high maintenance environment....it allays all...

Dear Ziggy.....if you don't mind me saying so, plans are good, resolve even better ....let it build steam but don't blow it all out the whistle.

These are wonderfull stories and thank God he cares for us but I often wonder how I would fare in my feelings towards God if I ended up like Joseph in an Egyptian prison for years or John Bunyan, also imprisoned for his faith let alone being fed to lions or burnt as torches? I pray I would be...

if they ask you, tell them what you think....unless you want to qualify as being full of sh.t :)

sorry DNB, I couldn't resist a bit of humour in my reply to Backlit, post #125 :) ....though it was at your expense. I see you are angry and frustrated....please forgive me yet this matter, from the scriptures, is as obvious as the necessity to breath air if one wants to stay upright.

oh I see Backlit, you are now making a case for blindfolded drunkenness....and on bicycles for that matter. Can't you be clear about your doctrinal stance particularly when the scripture says no drunkard will enter the kingdom of Heaven let alone blindfolded and there is plenty about that...

I'm sorry You can't hear what I'm saying DNB. As I said earlier, it's no mystery to me but it seems it is to you...unfortunately. I also don't find the need to fit into someone else's categorisation about these things.

my friend, that's solely your spin. I have not found scripture to seperate them.

We use language to convey process and intent for eg. 'poison is deadly'. Now we know exactly what is mean't by that yet if one wants to build a case that poisons are not deadly one can with all manner of manoeuvrability make that case conditionally and so appear to nullify 'poison is deadly'...

God said to to the first pair 'you will surely die' when you make 'these' choices, they knew exactly what God mean't....they would cease to exist....not only the understanding of 'die' but underpinned by the word 'surely'. Now, If a man does not feel comfortable with that pronouncement and...

Consider this aspect A_R.....the term sin amongst others things is a designation for dysfunction. God's intent is to bring us out of dysfunction. Will those who have met Jesus and tasted the freedom of liberation stay in dysfunction? Why on earth would they? ....reason; they have been deceived...

didn't you know amadeus that heaven exists with fairies with membrane like wings, purple coloured leaves that glisten and glow, worms with big eyes that talk and angels that have feathers and play harps with choirs that sing the same words over and over (holy holy holy) day and night.

Guilt generates sickness..... however it is called. It distorts the view of oneself, of others and of God.
