I owned a house up on the mountain around ten years ago out near the Beacon on the escarpment edge with views past Brisbane. My wife and I still go up there regularly to visit her sister. It is under an hours' drive to her unit from where we live. If you would like a coffee PM me and I will...

I would like to live beyond the black stump so that I could see the stars without the light pollution.

Nah, it sounds more like you are a defender of what you believe is true, not necessarily what is actually biblical.

Debatable on this claim IMHO.

You are being nasty and snobbish/prideful.

Now children, behave like the mature saints do, who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Paul told people that they should not endlessly argue about doctrine etc. PS95, perhaps you should learn to follow the teaching found in God's holy words. Shalom PS: - I am a calathumpian and...

^^^^^^ title So, the story goes

If you read the Bible and compare what has been prophesised in it, then you may see the historical evidence that either supports or contradicts that understanding of the Prophecy. Take for instance the Daniel 8 prophecy of the Little Horn being given armies to trample God's sanctuary and His...

A good conversation occurs when both parties participating in the conversation are prepared to learn about the other person during their conversation otherwise it degenerates into one or both talking at the other person rather than talking with the other person. Christ cared for the needs of...

I believe that this question is irrelevant. What is relevant is that we can see God's glory on display in the creation story. The important matter that needs to be understood is how our response to the creation story frames our relationship and understanding of God.

Perhaps this fits? Matthew 25:31-32: - 31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from...

The translation I posted was the NKJV with two small changes. In the first change, I modified the expression, "In the Beginning," to simply just "First" to show that God already existed when He created the Heavens and the earth. The second change I made was to add my own headings without...

When I was in the school cadets, the ration packs we were given had small tins of butter and when we wanted a light we would put a small hole in the tin and place the tin in the fire with the holed side facing up. When the tin got hot and butter escaped as a vapour and caught alight, it...

This is how I have paraphrased Genesis 1:1-2:3:- GENESIS 1:1-2:3: - How Creation unfolded (Gen 2:4-9; Job 38:4-11; John 1:1-5) 1:1 First God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep...

Your understanding is warped, really warped, as anyone who repents and then worships God/Christ is automatically a Son of God and therefore a "Saint," and judged to be righteous.

The prodigal son returned to His Father with a repentant heart and His Father chose to lift him up with His forgiveness by offering his prodigal son His Grace.

The principle that Jesus presented in His teaching was that we are to repent of our sin(s) and then we are to go and sin no more. This principle is stated well in the Old Testament as well. If we sin while we are righteous and will not repent of our sin(s) then we will not gain eternal life...

Did not Jesus teach that people needed to repent and then go and sin no more. I wonder if this typical response from Christ is a Law that we should always follow?

You are welcome to believe what you want. 1 John 1:5-10: - Fellowship with Him and One Another 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie...

I was quoting the scripture from memory, and it was close enough. Here are some verses on this subject: - Matthew 12:31-32: - The Unpardonable Sin (Mark 3:28-30) 31...
