I'm a partial internet dumbo, being self taught in respect of doing a few things (probably far from the shortest and cleanest way) and clueless in respect of everything else. For instance, how can I get to see my blog condensed in MS Word Format? .... I don't have MS Word downloaded and have to...

I realise that this thread died away a year ago but , being 'new', I have only just discovered it. and am much taken by the vast range of divergent scripture based opinion re the OP, that the forum possesses. But this is just a small example of the vastness of divergent scripture based opinion...

See the last paragraph of PAGE 5 of My voyage in search of the hidden treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven. Is that us in agreement with each other?

Bless you Nancy, This over sensitive old fogie was so fearful of being misunderstood and kicked back.

[ Is that referring to a 'few' people, 'many' people, or 'all' people. I hope it's not the latter because that puts you firmly in the elitist company of "only I/we have seen the light" folk. Even referring to the second category puts you on the fringe of 'elitism'. I'm not sure about the...

I'm sure that if there were a 'thumbs down, dislike' option, its use would cause less unpleasantness than some of the bigoted remarks that might prompt its use.:(

Bless you for adding those vital words "As I see it"..... leaves room for the vast array of differing convictions that go towards building the multiply membered 'Body of Christ'; so much 'truth' being personally perceived, as distinct from the mainstream stuff which needs to be as universally...

My first choice (in the words of the Hymn) would be to "Find a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God"; A place that I would call 'God's Mercy Seat' From every stormy wind that blows, from every swelling tide of woes, there is a calm, a sure retreat; 'tis found beneath the mercy seat...

And to we come to 'Crunch Time'; in as much as I have completed my Blog, and folk can now see the extent of my Heretical 'Inclinations'. But please, please, bear in mind that they are only 'the best of a bad job' borne out of years of trying to make sense of the vast range of denominational...

1 Corinthians 9:25 "every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things". Or at least they ought to be. But should Christian Forums be an exception?

That seems like a somewhat unkind inference of dogmatic bigotry.

I was brought up in a chapel that taught the 'Gap Theory' but to the best of my remembrance its scriptural basis was very thin.

I have to admit to never having been able to sit comfortably with much of the heavy thinking that seems to derive from the hyper-dispensationalism of E W Bullinger ..... not that I am a reliable authority.

For me this threads opens up the wider question concerning the entire cosmos that we now know to stretch right around the globe to the far antipathy of the Mediterranean confines of the earliest Abrahamic religion from which Judaism and Christianity morphed. Accepting that God created the...

I was beginning to think that you'd never respond. Your response is quite an 'eye opener' ...... it's good to begin to know about your somewhat unique beliefs. God bless.

I hope you're right rather than sceptical old 'me';)

In effect that's often what happens whenever someone claims "thus saith the Word of God" with bigoted dogma (often via cherry picked scriptures that disregard other scriptures that can be taken conversely ....and indeed often are, across the denominational and theological spectrum).

To put the proverbial 'cat amongst the pigeons' I believe that the majority of 'truth' is personally relevant, rather than universally absolute. Reformation Protestantism is strait-jacketed by the early (almost 'pre') age of enlightenment Statements of Faith re "all scripture being God breathed...

And I much admire those who make that the parameters of their fellowship. For my part I feel that my 'gift and calling' is to discuss the very deepest points of theology (albeit with great deference to the 'darkened glass'......my aversion being towards those who do so with a bigoted dogma that...

Jesus did not come to negate, or in any way nullify, the Law on which the Old Covenant was based. His purpose was to lift every aspect to a new and higher level of ‘Spiritual’ observance. The Key is in Matthew 5:17-20 “ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come...
