I think Satan encourages self deception. It is so convoluted and multi-layered we can't pin it or for the most part even want to. We consider our paradigms are the result of our great 'wisdom' and justify ourselves at mostly every turn. God has condescended and become one of us and we miss the...

do you speak a second language CS?

Could it be that the ability to speak 'in tongues' is as much a designation of the tongue being loosed to share the Gospel of Jesus as it is speaking a foreign language ?....and is it not true, the Gospel is a foreign language to most. Consider what, in most of our religious or non religious...

Satan is a liar How is it for most he is believed so easily? Cuz he's bloody good at it and can pull the wool over the eyes of unfallen angels. .....and fallen man assumes his shenanigans are a 'piece of cake'....well, a piece of something that religious folk apparently deem easily discernible.

You might need to wait till after winter fluffy. Taking it inside is kinda out of the question and if it's that cold outside it probably wont decompose quickly if at all. I'd just throw my scraps in there anyway and hope for the best. The other option would be to ask a local garden centre or...

Is breathing 'good works'? I mean it keeps you alive. Try staying alive with out breathing. How long can you keep it up? Does God do good works? seems creation got that designation. Does he always do good works? Does God do bad works? hmmmm. Some are of the opinion that drowning and frying a...

is it always the case that 'speaking in tongues' means speaking is a unlearned language?

How would you rate 'overcoming sin'....and is law (as it is generally understood....yet I use the term loosely) the only measure defining sin?......and which would be the other measure used if that were the case? (which incidentally, I think it is) an aside....how are you going with 'overcoming...

No intention to butt heads.....however, ...... is it really necessary to run by employing a condescending blame game f2f?

It comes down to how 'good works' is defined.....yes, by the individual annnnnd the New Testament writers. What definition would you align yourself with GP?

Works man? faith man?....hmmmmm, confused man!

No intelligent question?...lazy approach?...o_O I wonder who that reflects on f2f?

Isn't language wonderful? I've just gotta be certain when it's blurted out in humour, whispered in somber tones, or delivered in metaphor in absolute seriousness. Get it wrong and I'm on the way down the flush!

I wonder if deliberately walking in the rain qualifies? even diving off a boat (in faith of course) Perhaps having the hose under pressure turned onto me (or was it a babylonian who did that?) :IDK: Let me see, a tranquil dip into the hot tub probably wouldn't elicit the applause of viewers!

Is God subject to man's subjectivity?

ahhh, 'one the one hand',.... 'on the other hand'.....confusion is evident!

You're in danger of doing a head job on yourself GP

Intellectual quick stepping gets nowhere......except probably a flattered ego!

Your dilemma GP, arises because of where you focus is. Nevertheless, you are brave enough to admit there is a dilemma. Continue to be brave and self honest. Lip service and intellectual assent does not qualify as believing. Believing is a complete (cognitive and emotion) investment in the...
