...and when he comes he will testify of me... Jesus. In other words, he won't testify to himself. The role of the Spirit is to glorify Jesus and those imbued with his Spirit are identified by this. The Spirit never draws attention to himself. Don't you find that interesting?

Thats a convenient out for you. How is the question asked entertaining the devil?

it's the song of victory.....its the same song, but hear the words or word 'song' Moses...out of Egypt .....into the promised land Jesus...out of Egypt......into the promised land Can you hear the song? Be mindful one does not pull every word, jot and title apart and miss the message. :) you...

You didn't answer the question asked.

Salvation is something you have by faith. If your faith fails, ie if you do not complete the race, will you still have assurance of salvation....will you still have salvation?

You side step brakelite's question and answer your own imagined projection.

Inconvenience is a big thing. Not wanting to understand is probably closer to the mark. Inconvenience puts people at a decided disadvantage when it comes to dealing with men/carnal nature....isn't it the thing so many products are based around? Why keep a law or laws that put a spanner in the works?

probably only eight.....not coveting is not even on the horizon of the average 'christian' .... Ahhhhhhhhh, perhaps only seven...other Gods, hmmmm. Come to think of it, it might only be six...bearing false witness, hmmmm...theres a considerable amount of that in the backyard, ahhhggghhh, did you...

You might like to check John 8 particularly verses 30-59 It opens with, in verse 31 'to the jews who believed on him' and finishes with verse 59 'at this they picked up stones to stone him' Surprise, surprise.....Jesus addresses these same Jews who believed on him....yes, they thought he had...

I have wondered about this. I think that in Jesus case there was some resonant cord in those whores/publicans which they responded to. Without that resonant cord its as much a dogs breakfast as in a recalcitrant church.

Yeah Frank, I know what its like to get the cold shoulder, to be asked to leave, even forced. It's hurtful to say the least. These days I keep to myself mostly. I do miss genuine fellowship but can't seem to find those that are not into 'the scene' I often wonder how Jesus did it growing up...

Jesus let him go. He didn't try to persuade him against his choice.

All are called but few choose to respond with gratitude.

Be strong David....remember John 10 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the...

When the rich young ruler didn't want to hear what Jesus told him, how did Jesus respond?

I was using your thread to bounce into a parallel issue, that being exegesis....conclusions drawn from a flawed understanding of prophecy/scripture. Inevitably God looks like the culprit and gets the blame when the view we have is incorrect. It's a prompt to reassess. In the later chapters of...

Hello HunterB. I hope your time here is encouraging. We are diverse lot. You will find here wheat and tares. Some are towers of strength while others are lost puppies trying to find their feet yet others still are enamoured with zeal to the point of blindness. Be strong, use the word of hope and...

ahhh, the art of confusion through fake news, ie miserable exegesis. It has a strong grip if it's believed and double strong if it's defended. .....and Jesus said 'are you still asleep. Pray that ye enter not into temptation' ....but their eyes were heavy.

Humans are not animals in spite of sharing a similar biology. This should be obvious to all who call God their Father.

You have muddled the scriptures Dave. God made man in his image. It was personal. Man was in God's likeness, not so the animals. God spoke them into existence without the same intimate touch. Your language re souls is skewed. Have you not read it's context at mans creation?? Not even man has a...
