    What was the thorn in Paul’s side?

    they did pretend, thats true. However, it illustrates how they see....and that seeing looks weird. Dramatics and charlatans!

    What are the Characteristics of God that are His and His Alone?

    Hey Nancy, just imagine how God feels when after pouring out heaven in Jesus, men killed him... Just imagine, although that's hardly possible, how God feels when he see's all the injustices going on....not just now, but throughout the whole history of Earth. Can we even understand the term 'long...

    Please pray for my friends

    It's like this fluff, people have their prejudices based on what they've heard on the grapevine and we all know how reliable that is. It's quiet a trick labelling somebody.....once it's done it means no more thinking is required and one can pat themselves on the back totally persuaded as to how...

    Do We Believe Everything Jesus Said?

    The angels that turned up when Jesus departed said to the disciples 'this same Jesus which was taken up from you into heaven will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven' Acts 1:11

    Do We Believe Everything Jesus Said?

    lol....men join their jig saw puzzle in ways the pieces are not meant to fit and when an inconsistency is pointed out they get defensive and huffy because the sacrosanct structure is questioned in a way that threatens to unravel their mistake.....which of course is intolerable. It's easier to...

    Do We Believe Everything Jesus Said?

    I join a zoom gathering of a few people where this 'humongous puzzle' is addressed without theological barrows being pushed. Subsequently questions arise that lead to unexpected solutions or further questions....come along!

    Do We Believe Everything Jesus Said?

    ie assuming that 'greater' means miracles, signs and wonders. So I think about it; if it means miracles, signs and wonders what is greater than raising someone from the dead? at least nothing I can think of. Maybe my expectation is skewed or my understanding of what 'greater' means needs revising?

    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset?

    Interesting that you mention vulnerability Fluff. God is vulnerable....have we ever imagined that? His incarnation an exercise in ultimate vulnerability.....why should we imagine he is any different any other time? Love is vulnerability. One cannot truly love without being vulnerable. Has all...

    What are the Characteristics of God that are His and His Alone?

    I find 'love holds no record of wrongs' gives me a particular perspective I have not always held. It throws a spanner in the works of how I have seen. How do I reconcile this with judgement as I have understood it?

    What are the Characteristics of God that are His and His Alone?

    I think 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 reflect God's characteristics and we can push it further and include Matthew 5:3-12 God does not ask us to be something he is not. 1 Cor. 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is...

    The Real Rightly Divide Meaning

    what needs to be sorted is a 'gentle Jesus meek and mild', a God who loves to the point of giving his life and a Jesus who is itching to kick arse. Or have we aligned Jesus with all the other so called gods of the world who sit in privileged positions and and are depicted with muscles and brut...

    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset?

    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset? If you mean are there accounts of weeping and upset?...you betcha! I've probably wept more in the last five years than the last fifty. And why do I weep? Because I see things in the world, I see things in myself and I see things in God's kindness. The tears...
