God Commands Righteous Violence Righteous Violence!.... an oxymoron that the 'religious' love. Under its banner it is deemed that any sort of unrighteousness has impunity.

Your focus bdavidc as evidenced by your repeated emphasis on what man needs to do reveals your trajectory. You ask me again and again for scripture. I am surprised you are unfamiliar with God's nature so here are some scriptures either to enlighten or remind you of God's priorities. Romans...

Why Did Jesus Have to Die? Plato said, if ever there was a perfect man we would kill him. Here we have the reason. He embarrasses us in our self righteousness. We have over humanity the King of the abyss, we follow his dictates because we are naturally aligned with him. Able is killed by Cain...

I would ask which is stronger, love or iron?

Speculation based on beliefs of an erroneous kind

I say trust is born of trustworthiness. One can subscribe to a proscribed idea of what one should believe but that does not constitute trust. There are many belief systems/ religions in the World....all telling you what you should believe in order to get the 'goodies' so to speak.....from...

It comes down to this bdavidc, there are two perspectives; God's perspective and man's perspective. Man's perspective is self centred. Everything radiates from himself and his assumptions are the reference point to evaluate what he sees. Man's objective is himself. God's reference point is the...

It's not that I reject the scriptures TLHKAJ, it's that I have no interest in getting into a sh.t fight by slinging scriptures at each other which I see so often on the forum. My experience is that this practice does not change my mind or the mind of the other. It does not give birth to...

bdavidc, you want proof but proof is only of use when ears and eyes are open. Try and prove the existence of God to an atheist.....good luck! The story of Jesus is evidence of what you are asking. Is it you don't see Jesus? is it you don't take him and his words seriously? Is it that Jesus is a...

Is it possible that this woman was Mary, Martha's sister? Is it possible she anointed his head as well as his feet? We aren't explicitly told of her background but we can by taking note of the record, join certain dots. I think this woman was so appreciative of her forgiveness she was prepared...

Two Witnesses - A Biblical Perspective On the Mount of Transfiguration, two appeared with Jesus, Moses and Elijah...the Law and the Prophets. In the story of the rich man and Lazarus the punchline is, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone...

Here are three options: 1 A man can have won the lottery, not know it and continue to live as a pauper 2. A man can have won the lottery, know it and continue to live as a pauper, ie even be mean spirited. 3 A man can have won the lottery, know it and share his good fortune with those around him

I guess those who idly watch anything are in essence hanging out for their allotted three score and ten to expire.

What we experience is not necessarily how God feels. Repentance is a result not a cause of forgiveness.

The Spirit testifies to Jesus... John 15:26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. John 16:13-14 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not...

'The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy' ....Jesus Who is it that is manifestly controlling the destruction of Gaza? Unequivocally, it is The Thief.

What Is The Significance Of Jesus Saying, “My kingdom Is Not Of This World” (John 18:36)? It is a Kingdom of non coercion, a Kingdom that draws with long suffering, humility and sacrifice....not one that uses force. Just as the rock which struck Nebuchadnezzar's image was cut without hand, ie...
