    What makes a doctrine false?

    God draws with kindness. Force is not a part of his M.O. If it were he would have deleted the Lucifer at the outset. He allows the choices of intelligent creatures to run their course, counselling us not to be deceived.....either for life or death. If death (cessation of life) were not a...

    Unity in exclusivity is mere tribalism - Nothing special there

    There is no actual unity in tribalism....only the appearance of unity. It is a facade which when prodded reveals its inherent inadequacy.

    What makes a doctrine false?

    I see it like this, Jesus gives life to ALL humanity yet strangely, not all want life. Suicide results because HOW one sees allows no hope. It is the result of deception. God gives life unasked for. Any new born is testimony to this. God gives hope and promise. It is Satan who steals hope and...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Of course, those opposed to God and his character will find/ see him as an unmitigated threat and they will interpret his coming, 1st or second as something to be feared. (The question is, is he an actual threat or is it all in what they imagine) Have you ever wondered why Jesus didn't show...

    Preaching About Sin.

    According to this logic we are punished or rewarded because of the things we do, that's the upshot of it ........yet if Jesus died for sinners which we all are then hasn't the punishment been taken by him.......otherwise, what's that all about. So you are saying folk get whipped really really...

    Preaching About Sin.

    1....Does love really require payment? 2...The loss of existence is the suffering. The wicked and sin will be no more. The Universe is cleansed not by violence perpetrated by God. The example of Judas' choice and subsequent action is not to pass us by.

    Preaching About Sin.

    Ohhhh Ronald, God's character is not that of needing 'sacrifice' as in tormenting people forever. Sacrificing, whether they earned it or the idea that God wants some sort of macabre satisfaction never entered his mind (Jeremiah 19:5) We have Jesus for the very purpose of knowing what God is...

    Xenia vs. Love Thy Neighbor

    What I mean Bob is that we have a sense of right and wrong. We know stealing and lying is wrong. It doesn't mean we don't steal or lie etc, it just means there is some sort of moral gauge within us all as people. Criminal gangs like the Yakuza or the Mafia have a sense of right or wrong...

    ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB

    AS A MATTER OF INTEREST! The above excerpt, although attributed to me as posting, I have no recollection of posting. Posting lengthy articles is not my style as many of you know all too well. This has occurred before. There is also an another anomaly occurring on an ongoing basis which I notice...

    Preaching About Sin.

    Love doesn't torment anyone overtly. Those who reject it will no doubt be tormented....as was Judas. Ultimately, he couldn't live with himself. The lake of fire is the second death.

    Xenia vs. Love Thy Neighbor

    Innately we as people have a sense of integrity. What that is might vary, yet it's there. I think it is because we were made in the image of God.

    Grieving The Holy Spirit!

    The Spirit does not witness to himself, he witnesses to and of Jesus because Jesus is a reflection of the Father. He is grieved when we dismiss his testimony to and of Jesus. The evidence of the Spirit in us or not in us is where and to whom our testimony points.
