Even Jesus said of those fixed in their vaulted 'theological' views, 'leave them, they are blind guides......' Debating with the prejudiced, closed minded, religious zealots has never been constructive in my experience......the short circuit is to just leave them. God will deal with it in his...

I love you ViJ.

People are here for a variety of reasons. Those who have an acid edge haven't known the one who forgives their great debt. Their words have no healing and personally, I leave them be. My ears are tuned to those who realise their frailty, to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.......all...

An awareness of desperate inadequacy precedes the call for help. We are to know that without forgivness through Jesus we are sunk ships. If we have never known God, his Spirit will bring this awareness to us but he doesn't leave us there......he points us to the sin bearer; the one who gave his...

hey LP...no guessing your favourite colour :) Jesus tells us that if you knock the door will open, if you seek you will find and if you ask it will be given. That's pretty reassuring don't you think? In spite of the many points of view you encounter on a site like this, if you are steadfast...

When there is error in a premise the whole idea is corrupted. Only the Spirit of God can teach when there is willingness. If the error is insisted on the darkness gets deeper. And how is one to know error from truth? ....and how is one to recognise light from darkness? .....if one has eyes to...

I doubt you understand your own question, possibly even the word 'context'

Another attempt of morphing pagan points of view in an attempt to make it fit into the biblical narrative. The bible knows nothing of purgatory nor of praying to saints. These doctrines are not God inspired!

oh thats not so bad EM.....television is hardly productive and phone wise your'e a plenty of steps up from two cans and a length of string.....annnnnd, do you shoot the chickens in the garden because they took your worms for fishing? :)

Hello to you shortangel. Relying on what pastors say as authoritive misses the mark. We need to verify all that we believe from the scriptures as this is our only safeguard in these uncertain times.

Trying to chart where we are in Earth's history is clear enough from the Prophetic record....yes, Jesus is coming soon. Events globally are ramping up exponentially. Have we reached the point of great awakening? We are yet to see The Great Awakening as events still to occur will make it...

Hello EM...the mix here is diverse, nevertheless please join in and contribute to the discussions/points of view

I have highlighted parts of your reply mjrhealth because you have taken liberties which consist only of conjecture. These liberties assume you know what others have decided about the matter. If men cannot know what righteousness consists of how is it right for God to require it?......secondly...

It seems you have not defined righteousness

lol....'nuttier than usual'......is that an admission of 'nuts' being the M.O? ...:)

Jesus referenced it as the bona fide account of God's Word. There is the account of the 'road to Emmaus' where Jesus unfolded to the two disciples the things concerning himself. Luke 24:44 'Then he said unto them, these are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all...

I must add, my reply to your question is not conclusive.....the olive tree has other representations also.

The model scripture uses is that of the Hebrew Tabernacle the which is a figure of the Plan of Redemption. The common priests (what you might call the low priest) had their role in attending to the people as well as other roles. (this is a figure of Jesus here on Earth) Each aspect of the...

ohhhh, and the righteousness of Christ, where is that from? It certainly isn't derived from osmosis.

Righteousness was always by Law and always by Grace. Driving a dividing wedge between the two indicates a poor understanding of both Law and Grace. Jesus came to exemplify both. If that is not seen, the Gospel is not understood and whatever one holds as 'the gospel' apart from what has just...
