Yes, works of course but on an online forum folk can hide behind pious words, one cannot 'see' the works. What one can see is where the emphasis is. Folk can talk about 'the Lord', one can mouth the platitudes, one can quote scripture verbatim yet if one doesn't know Jesus one can't lead people...

There must be a litmus test in your own mind as to what factor determines whether a person is just 'religious' or whether they have hooked onto the pearl of great price. What do you think it is?

I would ask, do you consider your opinion in line with God's word? Well, they probably do as well. Could it be that just as you consider their ears closed, they consider yours? Proving anything to those who consider themselves sufficiently informed and are not interested in your opinion is...

hmmmm, I was thinking more along the lines of people believing the serpents lie.

I think much of what we deem conscience (which by the way, is programmed) is the devil talking. Discerning the voices is a worthy pursuit.

When the Serpent's lie was believed.

They believed Satans lie and disobeyed God. It's no different with us today. We relate with hiding and covering with our fellow man not just with God when there is no transparency. The Gospel calls us into transparency (light) in every aspect of our reality.

just wake up!

Foreknowledge or prediction does not equate to causation. For example, accurately predicting you will be dead in under a hundred years does not mean I caused your death or wanted it. When God warned A&E saying 'in the day you eat of it you will surely die' he was effectively saying, you will...

Could it be that God knowing the beginning from the end has not had his will thwarted by his creation at all but rather fulfilled?....I think so. If you will not forgive others you will not have the capacity to believe God will and has forgiven you.

then hear what it's trying to tell you and don't be like a deluded Jewish Rabbi and miss the messiah.

God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise? God says to sinners 'forgiven'. Sinners say to each other 'fall into line according to my theory/ theology before God will forgive you' God's attitude of goodwill (forgiveness) to mumbling bumbling rebellious man does not compute in...

The "Chinese Balloons" You can get them cheap by the packet at the supermarket here.

People's choice is respected.....even Satan's choice is respected by God. They will reap what they sow. Interestingly, sin is defined in the OT as transgression of the law yet Jesus defines it as not believing in him. In other words, not trusting in God's judgement.....and what is God's...

What are you referring to.....what connections are you making to ask these questions?

hmmmm. I can see you choose to stick to the idea that 'Israel' consists only of a particular ethnicity. I am of the view that Salvation is for the seed of Adam.....not just the literal seed of Jacob......and I don't subscribe to the idea that there are different 'plans' for different people at...

thanks Pearl.....for your compliment. :)

Wake up Ronald!

Old Mate, the seed of Israel are God's people.....and who do we think are God's people? We gotta break out from an ethnically/ geographically bounded perspective......thats what Jesus and Paul's mission was.

I don't either!
