    Bible Study

    I have a request from a member to lead a Bible study. Is there interest in this if I was to commit the time - to make it worth while we would need enough folks to participate. Thoughts ??

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    Not at all - as long as it is righteous... This raises an important issue - Jesus would have passed the tables in the temple foyer many times but didnt get angry and turn the tables - why ??? Because He didnt see the Father doing it. There is a right time and a right way to act against sin...

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    From 2 Peter 2 4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Is is a sacrifice... We often agree to never to go back.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Nice... We have a King Charles Spaniel - the only breed allowed in the British Parliament.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Yes... as long as we don't throw out aspects of His character we don't like in the process.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    This may very well be the event I attended, however I am sure the mistake has been made on several occasions.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    No problem... I lived in South Africa, you hire a 'Brieflace' which is a portable shed that houses an open fire and a rotating spit for a whole animal and the team to set it up and do the cooking. Better than here in NZ where they cook a 'Hungi' in the ground among hot stones - which is great...

    Great Idea - long flight.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    End times is not my calling but in the case of sacrifices, a redeemed Israel will have no need to continue in the foreshadow of what Christ achieved. However God may require it for old times sake ??? :)

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Questions welcome.

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    No.. because the redeemed people are the same as Paul said not all Israel are Israel. It was a matter of presenting an option for a righteous State, an option that may yet be fulfilled if we see a massive revival among Jews today. But even then there wont be a return to animal sacrifice.

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    I was thinking that His Love is not unconditional - strange how the term 'Unconditional Love' rolls off tongues, yet Scripture does not support such a concept. It is incompatible with Holiness. If His Love was unconditional Jesus would not have needed to be offered, and suffer as a sacrificial...

    The Character of God - Reader Poll

    @Nancy Yes no doubt, but this is not a predominant aspect of His Character. but a response to wickedness.

    Mmmm... interesting - reminds me of a certain deity getting a lot of press lately.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    First question - yes when reading a non-mainstream translation. Second question - yes our attention can be drawn to a happening around us as He speaks meaning to us. On the character of God it is good to accept the encounters of Moses, Isaiah, Jacob, Lot and Co. when accessing God's character...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    A couple of comments. As the Bible is not understood without the Holy Spirit assisting the inspired reader, any errors of text that might exist will not be witnessed as Truth to the inspired reader. I think a lot of questions that arise are answered as one comes to understand the character of...

    If You Died Yesterday, Where Would Your Soul Be Today?

    John 14 1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I...
