Yes, I read it. Allow me to put this way; the salvation of man as important and wonderful as it is, is a side benefit of God's vindication. What God has done in Jesus, in his condescension even to death, is a Cosmic event in answer to the accusations Satan has made from well before our world...

Hang in there Wyn Wyn, not long now. You are the apple of his eye, his Princess; graven on the palms of his hands. He wants your trust even when or particularly when the daily challenges, the wants, the give it to me nows threaten to derail. Faith say's, 'I know whom I have believed and am...

ah yes, I remember this song well!

So, how do we understand your 'flip side' of God without it being a contradiction?

Is "The Beast" another name for Satan's corrupt, worldly, system? for your reflections.....the Dragon is Satan; the Beast (s) is/ are the political powers he works through to legislate his aims; the Prostitute is religious entity who significantly influences, even steers political directions...

Delusional people are in every corner of life's experience and Satan is an active participant in the forming of opinions and experiences. Even the thoughts (voices) in our own heads are often not our own; accusing thoughts, thoughts of revenge or sneaky operations. That being said, God is able...

How do you see, lets say the Chinese and Indians, giving the Papacy final Global authority?

that definitely changes something!

Didn't those whose who had Jesus murdered quote scripture?.....I s'pose that was biblical! Didn't the slave owners in the South of your country justify their practice by quoting scripture?....I s'pose that was biblical! Does present day Israel persecute the Palestinians because they quote...
