    Is God Magnanimous? - (as opposed to tyrannical)

    All are called and chosen of which Judas serves as an example. These called, these chosen have judged the God of Grace unworthy of their company. In other words it is they who have rejected God; they have determined their own destiny by their own hand.

    I think he created us in his image because he desires friends and friendship....which I guess is a privilege over other creations. I mean, servants don't have the same status as children let alone any talk of inheritance. Jesus tells us in John 15:15 'I no longer call you servants, because a...

    An admission of what is true does not equate with allegiance to it.

    I have the view that sin has no cause. According to 1 John, God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

    Where does consciousness reside?

    I clipped my toe nails the other day, spat some saliva, trimmed my beard and blew my nose, now I'm only part of the man I used to be!

    Be like little children

    Tell me more about the attributes of little children which Jesus draws our attention to? I wonder why he didn't direct our attention to the learned, the studied and those with bold confidence in exegeting the scriptures?

    Do you think God wants servants or friends?

    God's 'bossness' so to speak is not the superimposition that man project onto him. It is the superimposition, the one which many falsely claim is the real deal, which makes me bristle. Even in the face of his incarnation, his sojourn, his submission to being murdered and his resurrection, he is...

    Hmmmm, what to do today

    Another option is to visit the 'Babylonian' quarter and share with them that their sins are forgiven?

    Humility is a quality that doesn't speak of itself. When it does, it becomes questionable as being humility.....particularly when it is measured as 'enough humility'. Humility is like pregnancy; you either are or you aren't. Speaking of one's own humility is nothing short of ego off the rails.

    Another projection! I wonder where projections originated?

    It is interesting you presume so much about my judgements when I haven't even commented on the Genesis 15 story of Abraham you introduced from left field, into the discussion. .....but this is your style Hidden. You introduce a text with the assumption you can divert from the subject at hand. I...

    I don't believe God sends deceiving or lying spirits even though the scripture says he did. 1 Kings 22:21-23 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “‘By what means?’ the Lord asked. “‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his...

    Acts 7:51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!
