    Better late than never

    Doubtless you'll remember 'Oneoff' as one of my usernames. I suffered most from the frustration of trying to moderate the forum which insisted on the ethos of total small 'c' catholicity. Where a particular Australian, despite having registered in agreement with that ethos, then went on to...

    The Lesson of the Fig Tree==Wake up! Time is very short!

    I was asking in the context of the 'first and second resurrections', followed by the 'second death' as per Revelation 20. With particular emphasis on 'works', and on the relationship of one group of persons who only die 'once' (having been part of the 'first resurrection), compared to the group...

    Better late than never

    I guess I should say a formal hello even though many already know me from my own attempts at launching various forums over the last decade or two. Forgive (please) my left of mainstream oft perceived heresies, which will inevitably emerge over the course of posting (especially evident to those...

    When do you feel closest to God?

    This is a great thread with more uplifting replies than Naomi expected. For me, like Helen, it's the 'quiet place' of utter solitude in the glory of God's creation. After all Romans 1:17-23 tells us that those who never get to read a Bible, or never get to hear what we know as 'The Gospel...

    My voyage in search of the treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven.

    60 years ago i embarked on the production of a regularly updated journal detailing the re-examination of my faith that had been shattered by the implosion in controversy of the chapel in which I had first 'come to faith'. Hopefully I will be able to download a page by page summary, beginning...

    My voyage in search of the treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven.

    60 years ago I embarked on the production of a regularly updated journal detailing a re-examination of my childhood faith that had become shattered by the implosion into controversy of the Chapel in which I had first 'come to faith'. Hopefully I will be able to reproduce it herein, page by page.

    The Lesson of the Fig Tree==Wake up! Time is very short!

    Who understands the eschatology of the first and the second resurrection?

    A perfect day . . .

    For me it would be to have achieved unbroken 'constantly abiding' throughout every single moment.

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    I too am "perfection"....with the exception of just one fault .....I can never tell the truth.

    LAW IS NEITHER OBEYED DISOBEYED NOR BROKEN / AN EXISTENTIAL ONTOLOGICAL DISPROOF OF LAW

    Just me testing to see if the other extreme of intelligence might evoke a 'happy medium'.....but seems there are no spiritualists around;)

    Fear not....

    Bless you for that

    The Lesson of the Fig Tree==Wake up! Time is very short!

    I have to confess to being perplexed by the 'elect and chosen' thing'. We read that it is only the 'many' (as distinct from 'all') who are even 'called'. And out of that limited 'many' only a few are 'chosen'. Does that not leave the vast myriads of mankind 'high, dry, and without hope'? Hyper...

    I Have No Idea Where To Put This Thread

    It was just me wondering if the words of that old spiritual song might sum up how you were feeling.

    Fear not....

    To whom and when still loam large for me. Just as a case can be made out for the contention that…. a) we have already been saved….b) we are currently in the process of being saved….and c) there will come a time when we are finally and fully saved, so too a case case can be made out for...

    I Have No Idea Where To Put This Thread

    "This world is not my home; I'm just a passin through. If Heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do? The angels beckon me, from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world any more."

    Does anyone else find this strangely relaxing?

    Meditative to the degree of resolving everything that might trouble mankind. at any point in time. Such wisdom should indeed bring absolute peace to all forum interaction.

    Star Study (All Hope Lost)

    I incline to the view that the only sign given to us that matters is that of the '3rd day resurrection' of Christ. Mankind seems to divide between those who rely on signs, those who rely on 'wisdom', and those who rely on a combination of both. But what if, by not beginning with the simple faith...

    How to interpret the scriptures

    Me too to you. Pat invited me here. But I too thought I was already here under at least two different user names (Way of the Spirit??) but I can't find any previous. I've guessed at which is Pat and Rita, but who now is Kerry. There's also a Catholic member who reckons he's constantly correcting...
