    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Could it be possible that he had poor eyesight resulting from perhaps his Damascus road experience? In one of his communications that apparently he wrote himself he refers to the large letters (large print) he is using implying that other letters he sent were dictated. When it comes to being...

    Not much happening here with fellowship Oz. From time to time I'll take the bike up the coast or the tinny out to the reef. Those things are always good when the weather is suitable. Finding serious gospel folk hasn't happened here yet. There are some religious folk around but they don't stoke...

    And...God didn't say...

    Yes, it is a sobering subject. It has implications that many are not aware of which is in their interest to be aware of.

    See my rely on APAK'S post above. I have edited into his post in bolded and italics. You must click to expand the post. If this is too confusing let me know and I won't use this method again.

    And...God didn't say...

    I find man's construction by God is revealing re the question of spirit. It tells us that God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life or spirit of life or the life force and man became a living soul. Neither the dust or the breath (spirit or life...

    NORMAL OPERATION

    NORMAL OPERATION With practised smiles and trendy garb ‘fine thank you how are you?’ is heard amongst ‘together folk’ we’re well when we are blue The water’s tested as we go to see how we will fare it’s safe to take the plunge I hear our judgement frail and bare In nakedness we interact with...

    And...God didn't say...

    APAK, I'm persuaded that you are drawing conclusions from an totally unstable premise. The premise being the immortality of the soul. We are told that only God has immortality in 1 Timothy 6:16. It is also confirmed in 1 Timothy 1:17 Yes, purification will occur and by fire of all that is...

    Jesus was wrong

    Granted Zack, there is a lot of wasted time in religious activities, probably as much as there is in secular activities, yet saying that Jesus was wrong is indicative of knowing about Jesus without actually knowing him. For instance, one might know all the stories and be able to quote all the...

    The Death of Lazarus

    ahhhmmm, I think you's guys have missed Victory in Jesus's question altogether and gone down a blind alley.

    This has been on my mind in the last weeks.

    The Gardener

    OUR GARDEN Our garden sown the way we choose with colours bright or gentle hues and fragrant scents that stop the din from mindless chatter deep within Clear sounds of life in joyful song a melody that ears for long the soothing of a forest brook begs one to have another look Or gardens that...

    Master/Teacher

    Does it really matter what name men are called by or what others call them. Are not these things categorisations to fit into preconceived constructs. The quote by Lincoln rings true. It matters not to me what title he wears or others bestow upon him. Even if the devil spoke the truth would it...

    Twisted Verses: weapons of oppression?

    It is possible to covey a message accurately without quoting verbatim. She understood the message and so did the serpent (she wasn’t out to fool the Serpent) I don’t think her mistake was her choice of words, I think the mistake was parleying with the snake. She allowed herself to be engaged and...

    Gluttony

    Alison, there is a 12 Step program called Overeaters Anonymous, you may have heard of them? The chances are you will find them useful and supportive if you are serious on beating this addiction. A google search will find meetings not far away from where you are and accessible by public...

    Twisted Verses: weapons of oppression?

    What do you mean? It was the Serpent who played around with God’s words!
