yes, the narrative of what 'a Christian would say' has surely obscured God's character!

You have overlayed your own theory on Jesus' story. This story of Jesus' has no hint of wrathful Justice.....the which you are attempting to weave into it.

You clearly are not familiar with the record where Peter states this unreservedly!

If Jesus needed to die for God to forgive as you say then he could have let him die when Herod killed the babies earlier on....or in the garden of Gethsemane? ....but an angel revived him. It raises the question, why did Jesus die in the most brutal way imaginable (that's what his torture and...

I know you are representing catholic facts....you say so, no ambiguity however, those 'facts' reveal the misguided and slippery intentions.

Jesus came to our world to show us God's character (what he is really like).....and what did he show us? that God tortured and killed his Son because he was so miffed with us he had to get his murderous wrath out on somebody? Isn't that the picture Satan wants you to have of God? ...to be...

it certainly doesn't tell me say I am wrong by the scriptures you've quoted

God was angry with us?....I doubt it. We were angry with God is more like it. God poured his wrath out on Jesus?.....I doubt it. We poured our wrath out on God. It was us who killed Jesus.

l loving someone doesn't mean you have to own them.

There was good reason Jesus didn't get politically involved. My guess is one of the reasons is highlighted in your statement 'Today, only a lukewarm and spiritually ignorant Christian could possibly choose to be a Democrat.' His Kingdom is not of this world.....his kingdom does not pit people...

How to stop confessing sin.... another view. Stop sinning!

Here are Pauls words. Timothy 1:15 'This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief' He is speaking in the present tense not in the past tense as your word 'was' indicates. Considering this, it is you who is...

When Paul says he is the chief of sinners he is declaring his condition....not his status. He knows he is a child of God, that is his status but he also knows he lives in corruptible flesh....that is his condition. Oh, and by the way, why do you need to yell (caps) to make your point?

You sure you're living in the right country? Maybe Honduras is better, or Nigeria, even Myanmar?

It depends how you hear it..... He will establish your heart with all his saints.....or does 'saints' mean, his angels? ....because those who have died are not in heaven but awaiting a resurrection.....they sleep in the dust of the earth till the call is given. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 'For...

Not all have or want faith. Satan has all the facts; more than we will ever have yet he has irrevocably chosen to stick to his own ideas of God....those ideas manifesting in the desire to be preeminent to the point of desiring the death of God.....the consequence of those ideas being ongoing...

My trust in Jesus and his ability to save to the uttermost is my hope.....because he promised. My feelings and the thoughts that surface often want to doubt this but I have learned he is faithful and true in spite of myself....and this I trust.

Paul considered himself the chief of sinners. He had an innate sense of his unworthiness......and that so because he was humbled. Only pride boasts of having no sin; pride, lack of self awareness or ignorance. We all fall short in many things. Confessing them is acknowledging this reality...

Let me ask the question another way; what is it we are to overcome?

what do you think it means to 'overcome'?
