    Degrees of sin

    The belief that the bible is inconsistent is a contextual matter. Those who believe so have a little information and because they can't reconcile all the factors, claims are made from poor judgement. I think most of us understand that limited understanding of any matter has dire consequences if...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    We walk by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. One must know that the teaching of purgatory is contrary to and is not found at all in scripture. This is self evident to all who know the scriptures. You have the scriptures at your disposal.....make the effort and become...

    Laurel and Hardy were famed for their wit it came from the place we all go to s...... , In quiet reflection we sit on that throne and cast around thoughts that are bare to the bone, Soon up we arise, we've found laughter and glee from the great revelation of myself and me, It's blown to the air...

    How long will the Man of Lawlessness Be Sitting in Your Temple?

    Where shall I start?....consider your understanding/interpretation of the word 'abomination' (which incidentally, I think is correct). The actual word 'abomination' does not need to be used in order to convey its operative principle. Its principle is there in the context. A lie imbibed is akin...

    How long will the Man of Lawlessness Be Sitting in Your Temple?

    We can start in Eden.....Eve exchanged the truth for a lie....she believed it (it entered her heart)...what? the abomination of desolation!.....and as per God's promise she became subject to death. As stated earlier, this principle is illustrated throughout scripture and Israel's history.

    To be direct with few words, the abomination of desolation is a a spurious gospel.....one that masquerades as the real deal but is in fact the lie.....one that lives in the heart.

    It means we are to consider all things and weigh them carefully (carefully being the operative word) with requests to God for understanding.

    How long will the Man of Lawlessness Be Sitting in Your Temple?

    We have the scriptures which understood correctly are a guide to that which pertains to truth and godliness. Relying on 'impressions' which alter according to a variety of factors is fraught with danger. After Jesus spent the 40 days in the desert without food the tempter came to him in his...

    Do we really think Elijah's behaviour on this matter was justified? Why do I ask this? ...because we use these accounts as justifications for treating others barbarically.....So, what do we use as a reference point for drawing conclusions? When the voice(s) came from heaven at different times...

    Regarding this attitude I would draw your attention to the behaviour of all through history who have considered themselves right beyond question.

    Definitely not force or intimidation of any sort. Are we not to have the same mind as Jesus had?.......now that's an interesting one.....for, that mind is only discernible by those who have a connection with him.
