What you have done to the least you've done it to me......Jesus 'But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment.....' Matt. 5:22

Jim, do you really know yourself?

1. Jesus rose on the first day because he rested on the seventh 2. Jesus appeared/ spent 40 days with his mates after the resurrection. Does that make each day a Sabbath? 3. Gathering any particular day does not give that day sanctity. 4. So what? 5. So what? 6. So what?....and giving on...

You are free to revere any day you like tdickensheets yet you don't give that freedom to others. Does that say something about your prison?

Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based? When we believe that God required Jesus to be killed to forgive our sins we set ourselves up for a fear based view/ interaction of and with God. Jesus was murdered by us because we could not tolerate his revelation of God. We still do it by insisting...

Knowing Jesus is the objective of inspiration enables a person to take pause and hear. Without that knowledge any piper playing an 'appealing' tune is danced to.

it certainly doesn't come across that way!

Those who wish hellfire on others are playing with hellfire themselves.

they are absolutely wrong....absolutely!

If one are persuaded that God kills if people don't dance to his tune you can be assured one will not be able to tell the Christ from the Antichrist who disguises himself as an angel of light. One will play right into the hand of the masquerader.

Did Abraham understand who Jesus was ...or any of the Patriarch's or Matriarchs?.....did Samson? .....and who knows who else had a heart for God in the ancient world? We are to tell the world good news, not our cut and dried all t's crossed and I's dotted self important understandings.

God is love. Will you put parameters on God's love? Will you tell him who he can save and who he can't as a result of your limited understanding?

Reserving judgement as to who is saved and who is not is wisdom. Dishing out judgement as to who is saved and who is not is foolishness. The day of great surprises will reveal all in its own time!

Jesus asked Nicco if he knew where the wind comes from and where it's going. His question tells the hearer (if he/she can hear) that it is God's activity......and just as you can feel the wind, so anyone born of the Spirit is recognisable.......one doesn't need a list of qualifications dictated...

You ramble on about being 'born again' as if you have a privileged window or that others have some control over it. How foolish! Do you not understand that God is its author and instigator.....and that not because ones works qualify them?
