Yes, I didn't watch the video. Complaining to fellow Christians is hardly confronting perpetrators.

What is it primarily that he is saying to you?

It is clear that wherever you have been you haven't seen or understood the love of God. In fact what you have understood has resulted in your conclusion that God hates you. If ever there was a travesty it's got to be the messages you've received from your religious mentors. Have a look through...

Didn't Jesus ultimately expose the Devil by letting the Devil kill him? I think what happens in the systems, particularly religious ones, is that there is much railing against the 'bad people' and the sins of society but behind closed doors these very ones practice the sins they rail against...

To what end....may I ask?

I have not found that highlighting darkness exposes darkness. It just gives it more press. So what is it that clears the mess, the confusion, the darkness if it were not light? .....and light about what if it isn't about God's Character. Jesus tells us,' I am the light of the World....a city...

The religious folk in Jesus day did the same. In fact, all 'religious' folk engage in this throughout history.....more or less. Consider many participants on this forum; the endless debates about minutia as if all these things were hills to die on. There is another factor to consider and that...

What does 'a deep understanding of scripture' mean to you?

what about it?

What's On Your Mind? The Kingdom of God........and sex!

Tell me why this matter is sufficiently important to you, Moonwood.....which evidently it is as you've raised it before?

You have the right to be imaginative and creative and with application would be surprised what this can deliver.

I would add, the religious Jews in Jesus day and even today use these methods to arrive at THEIR outcomes. These are helpful and useful even in Science....but to what end? I would ask this, Jesus' spearhead, if we can call it that, was 'The Kingdom of God'. His actions, his parables and...

Isn't it interesting that anyone who has an axe to grind, so to speak, will use the identical argument.....be it Jw's, Mormons, Evangelicals, SDA's, Pentecostals etc. As much as I hold the Bible as my reference, HOW I understand is the factor that determines WHAT I understand. To give an...

Don't even go there, that'd be my approach.

...and what is your background?

ahhhhh, there's plenty of them. How do you tell the genuine from the non genuine?
