    Prophetic Chart from beginning unto the ending, Prophetic studies

    Could you please explain your understanding of the 2300 days prophecy ie, where you see it starting and finishing and why.

    sorry BJ, your argument is not persuasive in light of the evidence.

    Homosexual Church Dream

    I can understand that...no problems. I will however call sin by its rightful name, particular popular ones when they cover themselves with the blanket of innocence. To him who overcomes Jesus says, will I give the right to the tree of life.

    Homosexual Church Dream

    I am surprised to hear you make this comment H2S. This is not about self exaltation. This is about getting a healthy perspective.

    Do Hymns have any revelancy?

    I can use a knife to cut my carrots or to kill a man. I can use my tongue to praise God or to curse him. Musical instruments are no different. Music and songs are to be elevating, to raise us above the secular. To transport us to realms of hope with the vision of the beauty of righteousness.

    Homosexual Church Dream

    The human race is twisted and out of shape and far from the image of God he was made in. The degeneration has affected everything including our sexuality. Babies are born with the genitals of both sexes, others have deformities mentally and physically....I can go on. Irrespective of the...

    Parable of the Ten Virgins

    Jesus said he didn't know them.....isn't that interesting? Here we have a situation where the lack of oil is related to not knowing him. I propose that they knew about him.....they knew all the teachings, the doctrines, they knew all the yada yada and I dare to say they presented a very 'nice'...

    Homosexual Church Dream

    Dysfunction is dysfunction. Will man call it acceptable when God says it is not? Yes he will, just as he justifies all his dysfunction yet it remains dysfunction. The fact that there are homosexual churches (and I'm assuming they are practising homosexuals) that call themselves believers in...

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    Solomon says a wise man will hear a rebuke but the only thing a fool hears is the rod.....yeah, I think some need a beating..... While saying that I cannot see myself executing a beating unless its spontaneous self defence action.....and even then, that sits very uncomfortably with me.

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    I hear what you're saying DNB and I do not disagree. What I am saying is, forgiveness is a conscious choice; a choice that goes beyond and against natural instinct. The ability to forgive comes as gift to those who have experienced a higher principle of operation ie, those who have had an...

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    'for he lets his Sun shine on the good and bad alike' Evil needs to be addressed, there is no question about that but we are talking about forgiveness; the two both have a context. By forgiving one does not sanction evil; it rises above it, neither does it close its eye to it's heinous nature.

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    Our default position as people is unforgiveness. Will I dwell in this land to stroke my ego? Addressing a wrong does not mean forgiveness is missing. Jesus died for my sin before I was born which as I understand it, he forgave me while I was totally incapable of asking for anything let alone...

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    The primary hurdle is that many think they are real when in fact they are self deceived. There is little understanding of what constitutes functional and dysfunctional attitudes and behaviours. It is evident on this site as I observe the various responses. I find those that know Jesus exhibit...

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    Can they handle somebody real is the question? :) There are plenty of nice people I meet when from time to time I visit a Church but frankly I couldn't spend time with them because unfortunately I do not find them real. My 'real' meter has been tweaked and tuned over the years to the point where...

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    sorry sbg, I don't have any verses that come to mind although there is this one I just thought of, 'trust in the Lord with all your heart and he will direct your ways'

    Are Christians to forgive everyone or only those who repent?

    From experience it starts with a willingness. Without willingness you go nowhere. I'll tell you my story in short form.... Quiet some years back I was engaged to get married. It stalled for reasons I'm all too familiar with meaning that difficulties that surfaced where not spoken about. She was...
