OUR GARDEN Our garden sown the way we choose with colours bright or gentle hues and fragrant scents that stop the din from mindless chatter deep within Clear sounds of life in joyful song a melody that ears for long the soothing of a forest brook begs one to have another look Or gardens that...

Does it really matter what name men are called by or what others call them. Are not these things categorisations to fit into preconceived constructs. The quote by Lincoln rings true. It matters not to me what title he wears or others bestow upon him. Even if the devil spoke the truth would it...

It is possible to covey a message accurately without quoting verbatim. She understood the message and so did the serpent (she wasn’t out to fool the Serpent) I don’t think her mistake was her choice of words, I think the mistake was parleying with the snake. She allowed herself to be engaged and...

Alison, there is a 12 Step program called Overeaters Anonymous, you may have heard of them? The chances are you will find them useful and supportive if you are serious on beating this addiction. A google search will find meetings not far away from where you are and accessible by public...

What do you mean? It was the Serpent who played around with God’s words!

Oh dear, what a revelation!

Compassion is not something we think, it is something we feel and feel has to do with the heart.

The texts quoted ViJ have jumped out at me. The washing with water and Leviticus 26. A deeper level of understanding. (10) and ye shall eat old store and bring forth old because of the new.

For its purpose Barney, the commandment is as clear as the other nine.

Pertinent post ViJ. The subjective self focused lyrics of many modern Church songs betray a drifting away. How can one coin and sing songs like ‘A Mighty Fortress is our God’ when one has but dim vision of the depth of depravity and the overwhelming great gift poured out for us.

Alison, when the Romans made crosses for their victims they didn’t employ carpenters to square off the timbers or give them a polished finish. They were rounded timbers straight from the felled tree with the branches lopped off in a rudimentry fashion to add to the discomfort of the victim. You...

I have just finished reading the long and now closed tread titled ‘The real foundation of the RCC’ WOW, what an eye opener! How Brakelite and his detractors interact is revealing. The methods employed by each side to shore up their position advertises the spirit operating respectively...

I see you are familiar with the pronouncements in Exodus 31. I hope you have read them well given that Paul refers to the real Israel as God’s Church. Also, I assume your reference to the 6th day Sabbath at the beginning of your post is a miss type?

You confuse ceremonial law with the Decalogue. If keeping the Sabbath is a subversion then so are all the other nine commandments.

My friend, we will have to agree to disagree. Once one starts to bring in extra canononical references to shore up ones position it becomes open slather for every man and his dog. It is unwise and unnecessary as the word of God has all we need to understand the path we are to walk.

So what if they came together to break bread or collect money on the first day of the week. It doesn’t change the commandment! They are able to break bread on any day of the week and in regards to collecting money, it is totally in order too do this on the first day so that it wasn’t done on the...

Phillip, to think Paul here is referring to the 7th day Sabbath is misplaced. Paul in The earlier chapters of Romans lays out his position on the law clearly concluding that the law is not nullified but upheld. Here are a couple, Rom:3:31, 7:7-12. To confuse the many other days that were...

Herein is the private interpretation; The expression in scripture ‘The Lords day’ you have equated with Sunday. The scripture does not equate the Lords Day with Sunday. This is an attempted sleight of hand to give Sunday some sort of credibility, even to surplant the commandment which clearly...

I didn't know God was into real estate, you know land ownership and buildings, maintenance, rates and all the associated. Gatherings in private homes and pot luck lunches, making it personal. Minimal overheads. Keep the group smallish and multiply. Forget all the religious trappings, its...

It was supper time, in fact the last supper for Jesus with his mates. Yes, there were tensions among them. Who was going to be deputy to the man capable of feeding thousands from a lunch pack and raising the dead particularly one man who was already on the nose. Inspite of the evidence that all...
