It's a good thing this struggle is over in our short life span.

What you're trying to establish Mark is to me as obvious as a train smash. You are saying because the prophets were inspired by God as per Peter's words that every single utterance irrespective of context must be taken as stated for time and eternity. I do not hold that view. I've come to...

I have choices Mark....I can either be intellectually honest or I can fudge the text and try to shoehorn it into a preconception. The same choice is yours also.

Why compartmentalise my post #179? Understand it in its entirety. There are obvious and serious contradictions in the written word....examples of which I have given. How do you reconcile them?

What I'm saying Mark is that God does not have two sides to himself. He is not both good and evil at the same time even though many of the Prophets believed this to be the case and wrote in those terms. Here is one as an example, Isaiah 45:7 “I form the light and create darkness: I make peace...

The texts given are unambiguous. Comment is not necessary. The word 'spirit' is pliable. It has different uses/meanings according to context. Men willingly ignore context and use it to justify their own imaginings.

I'm sorry AJ, your argument accompanied by many words is not persuasive in the least.

I doubt it. God does not orchestrate the following of evil or the rebellion against himself.

'Have you got something to eat he asked them and they gave him some broiled fish and he ate it in front of them' Luke 24:42 'Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see - for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have...' Luke 24:39

I ask myself, am I different to the world and if I am, how am I? My digestive system works the same as far as I can tell, I have a heart which pumps blood and hair which turns greyer as I age and I've never managed to stop those pesky boogies which keep surfacing regularly. Whaaaaaaaaaa! I'll...

We are quick to tell others what their sins are pointing the finger oblivious that three point back. We use language which exonerates us with the intent of putting others in the hot seat. There is a quickness to dish out advice to others absolving us covertly that we have need of the same ...

The amount of suffering experienced by God in this process is not even on our radars and frankly, unable to be comprehended by mere mortals. At the appointed time when Jesus see's the innumerable throng gathered in his Fathers mansions, any regret (if ever there was any) will evaporate like dew...

We as people, particularly those who call themselves Christians find it difficult to say that God does not kill because of the various accounts which we read about in the Bible which appear to make it so obvious that God does kill or at least approves of it in certain circumstances. Here are...

The concern and thrust of Prophecy Fluffy is to highlight what God's plans/remedies are for the human race in the battle of good and evil that is being waged with specific emphasis on how it impacts God's people. The nations on Israel's door and literal Israel in Old Testament times is where...

Something happened the very day Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit....they died spiritually; they lost how they had previously understood their best friend. They also died emotionally. Previous to their disobedience they were enamoured with each other as a couple, now they were blaming....what...

God's glory is his humility.

further... Our judgement of God....this is what we do when somebody truely righteous and loving comes to be with us. Our judgement of ourselves.... we reveal what is truly in our hearts. God's judgement of us.... we are loved and valued to such an extent the Creator is prepared to give is life.

hello FoJ....for your information. I see this forum as a means of sharing views/ideas in the form of conversation. There are other venues where preaching at others might be acceptable. I for one do the big side step when I sense this is the agenda. Peace!

It can be tricky. I've been receiving veiled death threats accompanied with language even a sailor would baulk at....and that from a friend, for the last year....yes, a friend! I have no beef with him but he obviously has something chewing away. If I knew what it was I could address it. I have...
