"Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed Brainwashing happens to us all it matters not who we are or where we are from. In a certain sense brainwashing is required from/of the brainwashing :) Deconstructing is as indispensable as building on a solid foundation if...

As I implied earlier, it is your paradigm of how God operates that mimics that of the fallen parent. Are you not familiar with the account Jesus tells of the wedding feast of the lamb where he (the bridegroom) puts on an apron to serve us? What do you assume he might be trying to convey to us...

Sooo, to continue with your logic, you have children so that they can serve you...ie, take out the garbage, wash the dishes, clean the toilet?......and if they don't you get out the big stick.

I guess the term 'gift' let alone 'free', doesn't fit into your paradigm. One of earning aka 'trade', would suit you better!

Why did the blind man see men like trees walking when Jesus touched him? Haven't you seen Jews waving their arms? :contemplate:

The 'thing' which makes desolate is misapprehending the character of God and substituting it with one of the imagination.

Hey Matthew....It would be good if we could have an objective conversation :) That said, I see you like the Mullah look :)

It seems to me your message is about how people respond while you assume the liberty of determining their destiny from their attitude towards what you deem as right or wrong

I doubt that the tares know they are tares....and being tares they are convinced they are wheat. So I guess deception is complete.

Are you straining at knats and swallowing Camels?

You speak so boldly in your application to others yet have not considered the same principles as applying to yourself!

The scripture you've commented on and Devin has assumed, is misunderstood and misinterpreted. No wonder further conclusions are also right off track. The context needs checking and pondering.

I'm starting to move away from "pretend Christianity" Why did you go there in the first place?

Deconstructing is no stranger to constructing for those with courage.

Hello Dani

Those who are sick of it either have never heard it or don't want to hear it. The heart of the Gospel cannot be rationalised or discovered using the parameters of men. New birth is not something one can generate by trying; by engaging some formula. Consider Paul's story. Scripture repeatedly...

I think those who have been dished up a mediocre message and assume that is it, have a dawning yet to experience and be gobsmacked, even brought to tears of the wonder of the slaughtered lamb.....in the midst of the throne

The second person of the Godhead took on the process of a human body at the conception of Mary. The Resurrection imbued him with a glorified body, a body he will retain for eternity as his identification with the human family, even a marred one so to speak, with the scars of the crucifixion...

The fall was a tragedy in that the human family lost its potential to fully develop 'made in the image of God' but God in his wisdom took what was to our great disadvantage and made our destiny more glorious though great risk and suffering to himself. (have you ever wondered/thought that every...

I think it is worth being aware of where our focus is in the whole salvation story; is it on us and what we are doing/ responding to or is it on God and his nature/character and activity. The Church generally has majored on us (it is the human affliction); what we believe (doctrinally) and how...
