Thanks

Thank you for sharing your story Zetetica. May I use it if needed?

Wow, Intermediate State after death!! Now we're really spinning out on inventions.

I have found that there is more than meets the eye or what people let out about themselves. Human nature will justify itself as a matter of default. It will put itself in the best light possible particularly when that means omission or skewing of information is in their interest to appear...

When you know Jesus, you know. There's no guess work or fear. There is the inner abiding peace that I am known by name. My journey has not always been like this. At one point which lasted years I drifted ever so slowly away and didn't recognise it. It manifested in sin and sin is addictive...

g'day Bobby Jo, Yeahhhh, oils ain't oils and Christians ain't Christians. It sucks hey! Nevertheless, I soldier on. The lack of integrity of others is their business. I will choose to mind mine and not use them as examples.

I shy away from people who tell me what to think and believe and how to think it. It leaves no room for considering the other person. In short, I find it oppressive.

This is what I read in Romans 1:20 .....for since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities _ his eternal power and divine nature_ have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that men are without excuse.

Where there is no struggle the enemy is assured of its prey. Struggle, including the ability to find people who are serious in searching and finding the things that matter is familiar. 'Nice' folk, in my experience have always been inaccessible.

Talk to us Zetetica. Let us know how your walk is. This morning after parking my bike as usual and walking on the beach for about a kilometre I realised the keys were missing from my pocket. I thought I must have left them in the ignition so a prompt turn around back to the bike. No keys. I...

Hello

I have much to learn from that.

If he could not sin then any message to us about overcoming has no weight and a GOD-MAN is fabricated that is untouchable.

The genealogy of Jesus is there to tell us what it tells us and to limit it so it fits in with our preconceptions. Jesus preexisted since eternity. His conception in the womb of a woman was for the purpose of God's vindication and our salvation. He chose to take on the nature of the people he...

Yes, Jesus was sinless yet he has the inheritance of Adam after he sinned, of Abraham, of David etc.....his genealogy at the start of Matthew is there for all to see. There is no need to interpret his sinlessness because he was conceived by the Spirit saying he had an advantage that we don't...

Be careful not to play with the intended meaning. The context of the rest of scripture qualifies the meaning. Ultimately, one view excuses our weakness and thereby justifies it (just what our carnal nature and the devil wants). The other view gives us hope to reach for the higher option. It...

Time is relative to the viewer. An ant may see a year as a long time. We humans might see a hundred years as a long time. The scripture is God's revelation of his rescue plan from death. He uses every means available to get the message through to us, ie types, symbols, history, personal...

The scripture says he came 'in the likeness of sinful flesh' and 'tempted in all points as us' With God's Spirit by our sides and staying connected to the vine (which is how Jesus operated) we can overcome just as he did....and besides, it is expected of God that we live functional lives...

It's totally incompatible....Buddhism is the epitome of self focus. It fits hand in glove with the carnal nature.

As i said, I believe Jesus died for my sins and was resurrected. He promised and I trust, its as basic as that. His spirit dwells with and in me. How do I know that? because I have a love for righteousness and he protects me from temptation and sin. I ask for his protection daily even...
