    Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

    We are the ones who want death, that is the ultimate extension of our uncleanliness. God doesn't want death. It is us who superimpose our requirement for death onto God. How do I know these things? I look at Jesus and listen to him....just as the voice on the mountain instructed. I see the...

    The Great Second Exodus

    The problem with deception is not a lack of information but how you decode that information.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    I worship on the day of the sun, the day of the moon, the day you can choose , the day you can wed, the day of thurs and fri and sat. That should about cover 'em. If I've missed any, let me know. I know, I know Hobie, you want to let me know that the sitting day is the day you are supposed to...

    The Great Second Exodus

    Ahhh yes.....I know this man. A smooth operator who who cobbled scripture to exonerate Rome and take the obvious heat off

    Why Does the Savior Need to Be Both God and Man?

    God became a man so that we could relate. THE Man pressed the flesh.....he identified with our weakness and sorrows so that we could have confidence that God understands.....and although he came close to us, what did we do? Ohhhhh the shame of it!

    What will the 1000 year kingdom on earth Jesus reigns over look like.

    The disciples had hurdles to overcome in their perception and understanding of Messiah. It never occurred to them that their premise and therefore expectations were out of line. Is it any wonder they scratched their heads to Jesus' words and behaviour? It just never followed the expected...

    Why Does the Savior Need to Be Both God and Man?

    Why Does the Savior Need to Be Both God and Man? hmmmm, I guess because it would hard to relate to an elephant.

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    When Jesus washed his mates feet I don't think it was something he practised any more than breathing is practiced. Washing others feet was the natural unconscious extension of who he was. Have you ever wondered whether Jesus went to funerals where he didn't intervene?

    Is God a humanitarian?

    I'd say many who think they are going to Heaven wont....and it's because of their tight fisted attitude towards others. 'what you have done to the least, you have done it to me'.....Jesus

    Hypostatic Dilemma - Do you have one?

    Hypostatic Dilemma - Do you have one? I looked in my bits and bobs but couldn't find one. What do you need it for?

    Is God a humanitarian?

    Is God a humanitarian? Hmmm, what other options are there?

    The Great Second Exodus

    I sit here shaking my head as I read your miserable understanding and subsequent interpretation of the Prophecies quoted. These are nevertheless your understanding and not that of a paradigm which emanates from knowing Jesus.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Any scene in a church that you describe above is no doubt madness. It's an embarrassment to the witness of the Gospel.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Here is the relationship.... God's energies are bent in communicating his character, precisely because men have a faulty understanding of it....and what's more, they insist on maintaining a faulty understanding. The Gospel communicates good news and the purpose of tongues is to do exactly the...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I would say 'other tongues' is primarily the message of the Gospel. It is a different message to anything heard by the people of that day. In the same vane, we today can also speak in 'other tongues' to the general narrative of the times. ....and what is the general narrative of the times? Is...

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

    'Blood' ole mate, is representative of life, just as you quoted Leviticus 17:11. Jesus gave his life. He gave it, it was not taken from him. He gave it willingly. John 10:18 'No one takes my life from me. I give my life of my own free will. I have the authority to give my life, and I have the...

    Sin and repentance

    We are broken people, some more than others, either physically or mentally or spiritually, yet we are loved with an everlasting love. In other words, God's tenderness towards us does not run out. Repentance is about realising the futility of disfunction and choosing to want it better than it...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    It does. Would a similar question be 'what is the appropriate and correct interpretation of scripture? Are the two questions connected at the hip? ....and secondly, God asked Moses after he kicked up a fuss about not being able to speak well, 'who do you think made man's mouth?', in other...

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

    Satan's claim was that God was selfish. Everything God wanted he made with a word. The only way Satan could be disproven was to allow men and devils to throw their worst at him. If God was selfish he would surely retaliate in some violent form .....so God humbles himself and becomes a man so...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I speak in tongues, two to be precise but I usually only use one. However, what I speak is for the purpose of glorifying my Saviour and yours. When the boys spoke at Pentecost, what was it they spoke? well, it tells us they spoke of the wonderful works of God. It emphasises the subject...
