Violence has short legs and ultimately implodes upon its practitioners. Violence is the outworking of unhealthy ego.....it fools the self in thinking therein is a solution. Jesus absorbed the violence against him and what appeared as a dismal defeat resulted in the greatest victory of the...

He who uses the sword will be killed by the sword.....Jesus Soooooo, you cripple or kill the opposition and then go and tell him or his wife the good news of God's Grace? You'll have great influence! Those who hear you will be in no doubt about your sincerity let alone the validity of what...

I wonder whether it was God's purpose in Jesus to be known? .....so he pressed the flesh so to speak. It was those opposed to Jesus that did not want God revealed contrary to their imagination but those who saw and loved he became a source of unfolding joy and wonder.

ahhhhhhh, a righteous wife!......them be few and far between. You are truly blessed.

Firstly Agios, I would like to say, I know what you mean but secondly, is there any other way of holiness than being it? No doubt the angels are holy as is the vast varied creation of God in eternity yet God's Holiness is of a nature for us yet to be learned. The scripture tells us that Jesus...

Folk have no idea how magnificently beautiful holiness is. I suspect they have some sort of 'religious' idea that has a do-gooder, super pious, better than thou element. In this they have totally missed the mark. They have superimposed a heathen perception on the living God. Holiness has a...

'God's Kingdom is likened to......' It behooves us to think on this as it covers every aspect of God's reality....'every aspect' meaning not only the created order but the world of emotions, intentions, thoughts and desires......as the scripture says, 'dividing the bone and the marrow'....every...

You know, I see you guys shifting and shuffling and doing all sorts of fancy footwork to achieve what?? Whatever the Law is written on it is God's Law and is as valid on stone as it is in our hearts. Those who don't have it written on their hearts, does not invalidate them written on stone and...

Your questions are unacceptable ...why?, because they derive from the premise that Jesus meant to literally eat his flesh and drink his blood. Holding this position is indicative of the loss of objectivity and the whole intent of why Jesus said these things.

so why argue against the Law of God?

When one understands literally that which is intended as metaphor one either distances oneself because of the bizarre nature of what has been stated or one incorporates it into ones belief system and invents all manner of interpretation as in that of trans substantiation. It is clear that Jesus...

Consider the 'Everlasting Covenant'....I would ask, how does it fit into your understanding of the Old and New Covenant. We can talk about this if you wish.

I understand your position GB, nevertheless, if you are arguing your point to justify disobedience (which is what is implied though not specifically stated) all the barking becomes a decoy by which a man deceives himself.

You's guys make so many words....round and round and round like a broken record in the hope you will find a solution. Just keep his Commandments if you have the power! It is only those with his Spirit that have the desire and the God given power to keep them.

I understand...thank you TLHKAJ

I was going to use an illustration but have thought about it. I won't use it :)

God sees my many failings yet still he loves me enough to give his life for me. I am drawn to him because of that and this drawing does not leave me where I was found. In much long-suffering he teaches me his way and as I am willing and can understand he changes me into his image......for his...

not possible to come to a conclusion that adds up if the premise is incorrect.

We should be careful not just what we understand but how we understand. Jesus says as much ...Luke 18:18

an adult in the true sense of the word is one who has left behind childish things ie, matters of immaturity. One can have had 50 birthdays but still be 15 years old.....How can this be?? It's simple; the accumulating years have been a repeat and another repeat and another repeat......no growth...
