You will need to take up your argument with the Apostle John. 1 John 1:1-3 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life 2 (and the life was manifested, and we have...

I do not agree that this is utter nonsense. Yes, 'how can the omnipresent God be circumscribed in space and time?' a mystery indeed.....and then to submit to death!.....no doubt will be the study of the redeemed for the ceaseless ages of eternity and as Paul so aptly said about our present time...

It is man believing the serpent that denies God's words. He attempts to break down God's direct and plain words misrepresenting them ultimately saying the exact opposite. Death meant the cessation of life in any aspect....physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The creation of man...

Adam's progeny....I don't find that difficult to understand.

When Jesus said 'peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. In finding that peace my worldly ambitions have vaporised. I live in thankfulness.....all my earthly needs are supplied ie...

Hello Fellow Sojourners, I've been thinking....the Gospel tells us we have been given an unspeakable gift. Wow, thats a pretty tall order to get ones head around. It is so magnificent it will take eternity to unpack. As the eons roll by we will ever find things to wonder about in God's...

I do see two seperate resurrections in scripture. One for all the righteous when Jesus returns at the second coming then a 1000 yrs later a resurrection of all the wicked. I don't see a resurrection where both righteous and wicked multitude are resurrected in the same event....however, I do...

Your last offering amadeus reminds me of the story of an anti aircraft gunner.... As the enemy planes came in thick and fast overhead and the Commanding Officer yelling out, 'fill the sky with flack gunner' the gunner went straight to it, rata tat tat, rata tat tat, rata tat tat firing his...

N.C.?? I had understood you point as being, because man has attempted to alter calendars both in ancient and in not so ancient times the ability to to decipher which the actual 7th day is has been lost and that any 7th day rotation would suffice. My point was that because God fearing Jews...

Peter is referring to those in Jesus; those who have in gratitude for their redemption embraced God's offering. The terms 'lively stones' is a metaphor for building materials where with a 'spiritual house' is constructed....in other words, God's Church (his people) are a 'structure' built by...

God declared his whole creation to be very good when it came from his hand. Adam's nature was in line with God himself; it was perfect in every aspect. Adam could communicate intelligently with the rest of Creation. He had abilities which future generations progressively lost.....they no longer...

It means he stood out from sinners in that he was flawless and so as a high priest (mediator) he was superior to his earthly counterparts (high priests) who was required to offer sacrifice for their own sins before offering sacrifice on behalf of the people. The Father had sworn by himself in...

The God fearing Jews were pedantic about the laws. I doubt that they would have forgotten/let slip the Commandment of the seventh day sabbath through the generations. If any laws were to be remembered it would have been this one. In all their wanderings and back sliding behaviours this one was...

The propensity of the fallen human nature to sin.

What's the problem?

Prayers are not a performance that compares with others.....and how do you know that the prayers of others are more effective? do you have inside knowledge of what God responds to? Prayer is putting your petitions before God both the requests of our needs, our growth, thankfulness for his...

Chin up icxn....those who recognise their failings and admit them......those who desire to have it better than it is.....will be given strength to endure.

Maybe you're not familiar with the content of the Lords prayer. '....forgive us our trespasses and we forgive those who trespass against us... The angle you're taking using logic at odds with what is revealed will only darken your understanding further. I have seen folk go down this track...

.....I suppose one could add a little humour by quoting Isaiah 53:3 talking about Jesus 'a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief....' and say he was a Sadducee.......hhhmmmmm, Sad u see. Some how I don't think that'd wash!

lol lol...this is funny!....not Quaker CL, quacker ....as in a duck going quack quack :)
