    need friends

    Hello to you waterlilyoflife. Join in so folk can see how you're wired. Knowing the inside of a person will either attract or repel others....there are no other options. Of course one can always act, you know, put on a false persona.....but the sort of folks you want and need as friends won't be...

    The Gospel of the Kingdom

    If you mean geographical and political Israel today in Palestine, I don't think so. Geographical and Political Israel has abandoned the great commission given to it as a privileged people. Jesus summarised their abandonment of their previous privilege ... 'your house is left to you desolate'

    LIVER most nutrient dense meat, but YUCK!

    Filters in the body and the environment are for the purpose of extracting the poisons from what is being filtered. In this case the liver is to filter the blood. It is reasonable to not ingest 'garbage collectors'. There are other garbage collectors in our bodies and in the environment around...

    Was Judas Saved Or Not Saved?

    I doubt Judas had a change of heart. I think he regretted the outcome of the path he had chosen. I also think it was not a spur of the moment decision. Scripture tells us he was a thief yet Jesus never exposed him. Judas knew well enough that his path was in error. He was privileged to hear and...

    Was Judas Saved Or Not Saved?

    My dear, 'winning' is not contingent on numbers. God will win because his character is true and honourable and humble and just as demonstrated in Jesus. God delivered the Hebrews out of Egypt with great signs and wonders. It was 600,000 men not including women and children who left Egypt. He...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    You don't know what you're talking about Berserk. Your misrepresentation of the meaning of scripture is none other than doing your master's work.

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

    Yeah, when it registers, one's words are few and the desire for righteousness grows.

    What’s the difference?

    Prayer that is a regurgitation is hardly prayer. Prayer in its true sense is pouring ones heart out to God; they are words that reflect your inner reality and requests. In our damaged state Jesus gives us direction in 'The Lords Prayer' yet this prayer repeated for the sake of saying its words...

    Book Of Life

    All who ever made a decision and commitment to God throughout history are recorded in The Book of Life. Of all those who have had a change of heart; who have reneged on that commitment, not just by their words but how they have lived their lives, these will be deleted from the Book of Life...

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

    Poor in spirit refers to a person who has an acute awareness of their frailty.....no pretence. Jesus illustrates this in his story of the Pharisee and the Publican in Luke 18:9-14

    ISRAEL WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH

    The old order of things will pass away. For starters, we will have bodies that are not subject to diminishment (death) I image it to be the wide end of the V....expansion forever in every sphere....colour, sound, understanding, relationship, joy, vision, travel, communication etc etc. That's...

    Seeing : Kamala Harris

    I think you would add your name to anything that opposes what I say BJ. The issue of right or wrong would not be a factor. :)

    ISRAEL WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH

    'Israel' is the name for God's people throughout all time ie, since Adam. 'Israel' is also referred to 'Abraham's seed' also known as '144000' also as those on the Sea of Glass also those who are 'Born Again'. All of God's people fall into these descriptions. they are one and the same. The...

    It was a broken spirit that drew from the lips of one thief crucified with Jesus, 'Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom' ...it was a broken spirit that had the publican not consider himself worthy and asking for mercy.....it was a broken spirit that had Peter weeping bitterly at his...

    Seeing : Kamala Harris

    You do get it? then how is it you haven't heard? You take liberties that are not yours. You say 'everyone' in your statement above....really! You make being taken seriously contingent to answering your question, a question I answered when you first asked.

    Was Judas Saved Or Not Saved?

    Hello Triumph, nice to see you around. You are not forgotten with your biking adventures neither is the trauma you experienced with the death of your first wife. Also I would like take this opportunity to wish you the best in your new Marriage. The scripture foretells the demise of Judas as...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I will say this Berserk, your deviousness knows no end. In your post you have quoted me as appears below (in red) yet you have added your 'Translation' making it appear at first glance that it is from my pen. Secondly, you muddy the waters by your statement 'including the communications of the...

    Why is the bible so murky and confusing?

    Interesting you should say 'But much of it is very convoluted, as evidenced by the debates here on interpretations.' If one applies the incorrect algorithm of course things will be 'very convoluted' Trying to solve a maths problem with Sanskrit is equally 'very convoluted' How is this? God is...

    Jesus related the story of the Pharisee and the Publican to bring this awareness into our horizon.....and he concludes the Publican went home justified while the Pharisee didn't. Is Jesus saying here it's acceptable to behave as a 'publican'?....of course not. He is saying that unless you are...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    you miss the point Berserk. The point being as quoted 'The danger of believing the dead are alive is that you will never know definitively who is presenting in apparitions. Opened to that channel you become the play thing of forces greater than human abilities." Counterfeit Spirit(s), ie...
