I am speaking of all the commandments IstCL. Further, You need to recheck your statements , your references and how you've used them. Yet, if you think your statements are beyond scrutiny while palming off the 10C's, you probably won't.

could you please clarify what you men by this statement Phoneman.

Ahhhhhh, the temptation to take glory to oneself is ever lurking. A serpent it is indeed and one that requires constant guarding against.

The term 'under the law' does not mean keeping the law as such. It means having a mindset that thinks it can work its way into God's favour. It's the idea that brownie points are acquired by keeping the law and when there are enough, God is sufficiently impressed and will open the pearly gates...

He spoke to me through the mouth of another person by a question. This was unplanned and unexpected. The voice reverberated through my consciousness, I was at a crossroad and I instinctively knew that whatever answer that came out of my mouth would determine the path I would walk. I said...

lotsa words, lotsa pretty pictures and quiet a cobbling exercise but we are good at that! Why do you think God didn't tell us this? Surely he would have know we are a curious bunch of vegemites. I mean, who'd wanna believe that God put all this together in a few days just by telling it to step...

Have you ever wondered why the amount of words recorded of Jesus are so relatively few? Human logic would think that being who he is he would address more issues and give more details, but no this wasn't the case. I think it's because if we 'can't' hear the few words we would never hear the...

Yes, Ellen White wrote it but don't let that be a factor not to read it. You'll be in a better position to weigh the factors when all the nay sayers who have never read the book but confidently rely on what others assert about it are set aside. As in any reading, ask for God's directing and he...

No, no Willie, i'm not talking about the SDA church, i'm talking about the book 'The Great Controversy' Please don't judge the book by the Church.

This is all laid out in 'The Great Controversy' written over a hundred years ago. It's worth looking at Willie.

I find getting accurate information from reading what others have said about an author unsatisfactory. To know what any author has written you've got to read what they've written themselves, anything else in my opinion starts to qualify as BS. Opinions formed from coments of others on authors...

Are you at all surprised? As I reflect on the life of Jesus and the opposition he encountered for reasons unjustified any illusions of harmony with the system are vanquished. I'm reminded that whatever external peace I have in this world as Jesus's friend is a bonus and a result of his protection.

was wondering whether you'd actually read Calvin himself, Nancy?

The poor blokes were freaked out and figured they'd be next in line. Dull ears, a stubborn paradigm and unbelief reinforces fear and slow burning anxiety. A good lesson for us to not be stuck in the pride of how we see.

The good news is qualified by 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly' What people do with that news is their responsibility. No doubt it will be exploited and turned every which way to flatter mens pride and religious superiority. That is outside of my control. Second guessing...

The message, the good news to go out to the world is that Jesus has died for your sins. Yes, its the message the world considers foolish because it doesn't have the sound of sophistication, it requires no theological approval from anybody. The Sprit accompanies this message. It takes what men...

one has human aspirations the other seeks the Glory of God.

I think defining ourselves and others by titles of any sort is tricky business and only warranted by those who feel the need to categorise. God will have the defining say and if we have confidence in our forgiveness and our sympathies go out to those that know not God we are blessed.

Thanks for all your kind words guys.

enthusiasm in trimming dying fronds. The ladder placed against the tree decided it was better unplaced. The bod's on the improve though. Getting into a wheel chair yesterday for a shower was a protracted exercise, this morning the same manoeuvre was decidedly easier.
