There are no doubt aspects of God which we cannot grasp but when it comes to holiness, what is necessary and able to grasp is revealed in Jesus. Trying to get a handle on holiness independent of Jesus as I see it, leaves the imagination to go skewed as is evident in 'religious' unveiling.

My reference was to Satan taking Jesus to a mountain or the pinnacle of the temple.

There is no mountain anywhere in the physical world from which you can see all the kingdoms of the world. The story is true, but it is about spiritual events and a spiritual mountain. Let us not be naive. Let's not underestimate the power of Satan.

Any rope will hold until it is tested. Under load its integrity or lack of it is manifest. In Eden our parents were tested…no doubt other worlds were tested also. The angels were tested; a third failed, how? through the means of deception. Scripture tells us that Jesus was the second Adam….a new...

He might have had a skin full.

I doubt whether one political system is better than the other. God's purposes know no haste or delay, they will be fulfilled whoever is in power politically.

Jesus had fasted 40 days…..he was emaciated to the extreme (let that register)…..there was no intention of aiding himself supernaturally; if there was he would have done it before emaciation. In this physically weakened state these temptation were laid on him. Do we think they were a piece of...

I'd be very careful here Giuliano. The statement 'sin of the world' can be plural meaning the sins of people…. The sin of Adam, the representative of all people. The curse (death) was a result of the sin…..the curse was not the sin itself. Oh how easy it is to ratchet the intent of the words...

Are the bibles received with interest?

hello HARK I'm always curious whether members are older/younger, male/female when its not in their profile. Will you leave us in suspense?

I understand our collateral to be of a nature greater and of more value than silver or gold….this is where all of scripture directs us. All other collateral will disappoint; it is perishing…..it consumes our energies, loads us with unnecessary burdens and divides our allegiances.

Firstly, thanks to all who shared here….my heart is warmed and I feel I know you a little better. The excitement of becoming a young Christian had me saying things unconsidered. Time went by and the dawning awareness of having a limited view and knowledge made me ashamed of my presumption but...

You said it BJ….you don't feel like your shooting yourself in the foot?

If there is no thirst…...if there is no hunger……if there is not a sense of need its just a bunch of talk with no power.

We all need to do this on an ongoing basis…. Are we trying to get folk to agree with us…..are we trying to change their minds to our way of seeing so our ego is flattered……do we want more contributors to the coffers of our associated organisation…..is overt/covert self aggrandisement sought or...

If you are married lforrest, do you hide your wife…..do you feel uncomfortable because others mightn't approve of her…..are you ashamed of her? In like manner, does a person who knows Jesus hide his light? Perhaps the majority view of knowing Jesus is about subscribing to a particular set of...

G'day Scoot, Well, it looks like you've nearly shown your whole hand :) If righteousness stirs you and dysfunction is an uncomfortable embarrassment you'll find folk here on the same trajectory. You'll also find folk on both sides of the fence. The only way to satisfy your curiosity is to stick...

I see the four horsemen as a summary of the 'Christian' system from its inception ie, it starts off pure and progressively deteriorates finishing with Death ie, '“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for...

What a fortress against the many fears perpetrated by the worldly system!
