    How do you feel about your progress in the faith?

    dear wynnie, have you counted the times your reference to 'I' is made above in these few statements?

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    or could it be that one's assumptions need to be rewritten.....just like the guys on the road to Emmaus? :crossword:

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    When we have an erroneous understanding of God we interpret any coke bottle thrown out of an aircraft as something other than it is. Questions are then asked from the vantage point of that faulty understanding. Arguments develop that in themselves are objectively pointless. The question arises...

    We're so lucky God is love and God is good. Ever thought about this?...

    Yes, the OT prophets definitely had a view of God that was limiting for them. In spite of centuries of God trying to communicate himself they misunderstood. It took Jesus to clarify the misconceptions. He presented a picture of the character of God that revealed a new reality.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Everlasting means however long it will last. A fire will last as long as there is fuel. Death means something has come to an end be it the Porsch reduced to a cinder in a burning garage or or your favourite doily shredded by the dog. I wonder how long everlasting life is defined? Does it mean...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    There is no fear in love. Making fear a prerequisite to salvation is misapplying and misusing scripture. The Jews considered Jesus as having loose lips insisting he is fighting above his weight but he made it plain they had tight shorts by pointing out their multitude of requirements for just...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    F2F....have you noticed, you are making regular accusations throughout this discourse? I don't think this has even occurred to you ....and I say that kindly. :)

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    my dear, how can I not read that as a projection? :)

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    I will say it again, perhaps plainer, The Gospel is about God's activity in Jesus. We are commissioned to share the Gospel. The Gospel is not about a human response ie, believing, baptism, the Lord's supper, sabbath keeping etc Sharing that which God has done in Jesus for humanity is...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    Making lite of it? not at all! Approaching it with a liberty and a freedom the Johnny tight shorts find threatening. :)

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    Because they choose to. Judas become a type. He was included in the chosen but opted out.....resulting in his suicide.

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    I perceive you prefer to major on mans response? What man must do? .....however 'pious' it might be. Am I discounting Mens/ Womens response? not at all I understand the Gospel is about God's activity in Jesus for the benefit of all the seed of Adam. It is not about mans response per se. My...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    My dear F2F.....If my presentation is unfamiliar to you as you say it is, why label it as 'false teaching'? you've hardly had time to consider it adequately. Why not chew on its implications, ask questions, object if you must but present cogent reasons.....and stay on track. The Good News...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    After the flood that particular watercourse was given the name Euphrates but did it run the same course and was it the original it was named after?

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    This is the subjective response of those who have heard and believed the the unspeakable gift of being in. They haven't yet favourably responded. Maybe they haven't heard the Good News to motivate them to go through this symbolic action telling the world they are in Christ? swimming with the...

    Why Jesus Wants Us To Make A Stand During The Coming Tribulation

    Why Jesus Wants Us To Make A Stand During The Coming Tribulation Why wouldn't those in love with Jesus make a stand for him anytime....whether in good or bad times?

    Tongues ( 'sign' gifts ) did/did not cease?

    The gift of tongues was given for the purpose of spreading the Gospel.....the wonderful works of God. When 'tongues' convey messages which have nothing to do with the wonderful works of God; with the enlightenment of those hearing, one can be sure it is not the Spirit of Jesus. The gift of...
