you run yourself in circles with unpersuasive words.

hello

'works of the law' is self focus......where ones attention and passion is directed in real terms....not just ones yada yada. One doesn't need to be a Jew to be self focused. Fashion is about self focus, so is the pursuit of money as is every emphasis that glorifies and focuses on self. One...

We are in need of as much help as we can get in understanding Salvation Nancy. Imagine if a mechanic said 'oh well, now that I have the engine in front of me I can scrap the plans, I don't need them any more, they are not important because I have the real deal in front of me.' He can do that but...

I'll say this Mark, if its inconvenient and there is unwillingness to see what one needs to see to get clarity, one won't see it. One has already determined how and what one sees.

hmmmm, I'm surprised to hear this. Liberation from poorly cobbled views that abound in Christian circles starts with an understanding of sacrifice.....in particular the Hebrew tabernacle/temple yearly rituals/cycles. In short, they are symbols of the story of Salvation. Every part and practice...

Yes Nancy. Interpreting parables is like interpreting the sacrifices in the OT. One can create ones own meaning and turn the sacrifice into something removed from its intent just as one can a parable. Herein is revealed whether one is wise or foolish.

Isn't strange that Christians make much ado about loving the Lord your God and your neighbour but when it comes to the Commandments which are specific regarding this, they are willing to scrap them.

An interesting interview

Oky....here are the bare bones. The issue of sin goes beyond our Earths history. Rebellion (sin) started in heaven with Lucifer (Satan) well before the Creation of Earth and its inhabitants....pride being the catalyst. To add,.... our Earth is not the only creation in God's vast Universe. We...

National Israel is a spent force regarding the Messiah....whom they rejected....rejected....rejected. Making National Israel a focal point will yield only distraction and deception....a convenient decoy while the man of sin positions himself for his last stand....a decoy that will not be seen...

The great tribulation is the experience of all God's people in time. The intensity and nature of this tribulation waxes and wanes. Satan uses good and bad times to catch his prey....he cares not if it's through wealth and influence, ease and popularity, pride in theology or physical torture...

he will deceive the resurrected wicked for the final time.

Jesus is resurrected Stuart, alive and with the promise 'I will never leave you or forsake you'. It is not Jesus who leaves but us who leave Jesus for an unnumbered amount of reasons that the evil one persuades us with. His reasons are lies!

I would like to add a little to this post regarding the dead being raised. We could ask, how can the dead believe, they are dead?....I would say, they didn't resist. Now I'm not sure if that's a fair point but I do know that all who don't resist are drawn...the lifegiver's command becomes their...

Do we believe Jesus came to heal the broken?......what I mean is, do we hold that view at our core or is it just an intellectual persuasion; one that fits neatly into what we think we're supposed to believe but doesn't really apply to us? Those who believed Jesus according to the record, had...

By all means Helen. Fire away when you're ready

@ WaterSong "Knowledge is knowing that the tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad." I put mine in a root salad....does that qualify?

Every thing is worth a second look Helen.....particularly if its coupled with courage......and be assured, if there is willingness and self honesty, God will open doors. As it stands more often than not we go a circuitous route...and for a long time.....why?, because we don't have the courage to...
