    I said, "Father! You be the One to define yourself!" and God started to relate to me! Praise God!

    Hi there, So there has been a bug bear in my mind, for some time: how do you define God? What about God do you share with the world? The answer to those questions is a bit of a trick, because even though there are many answers (from many people, actually), the truth is God can define Himself...

    An opinion, is not a legal object (what is?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple distinction to make - which I want to explore here, because I want to go beyond the limits of the stated subject - between a legal and a non-legal object: there is opinion, and there is law. An opinion is not a legal object, but may influence the Law; a law is a...

    I want to be ready, to help "save" someone specific (in my future, I have faith I will meet them): could you ask for a dream that will help save them?

    Hi there, So I had this idea in general, that we could all pray for dreams that would help - whoever. But I think it confused people what they should be praying they dream. So I have narrowed it down to just one person, who I will meet before the end of my life. I want to be accustomed to how...

    Theological Diversity & Inclusion

    According to the Bible, only those people who repent from sin and ask God for forgiveness will receive eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus. In obedience to this standard Christian obligation, the church hierarchy routinely encourages its congregation to seek divine forgiveness for their...

    Dream interpretation

    Dream interpretation My opinion is that as Christian's we should not dismiss trying to find meaning in the dreams that we have as some are from God. BUT also We should be very careful to use proper discernment in our interpretation when we do: • Is it biblically sound e.g. the dream may have...

    A Great Blasphemy, Part 6

    The following scriptures are likewise some which are generally relied upon by some who believe in the doctrine of Hell as a place of fire and eternal torment. Let us examine such to see if this be true. We begin with Matt 3:11, 12 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that...

    A Great Blasphemy, Part 5

    The next text cited as a proof of eternal torment is Matt 25:41: “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” This is from The Parable of the Sheep and Goats and describes the fate of the...

    A Great Blasphemy, Part 4

    “And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb; and the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever, and ever; and they have no rest day or night.” (Rev 14:10, 11) Now we apply another test to our texts, one which indicates...

    A Great Blasphemy, Part 3

    Consider carefully the scriptures that are used to teach eternal torment. Do not imagine that a study of such scriptures is too elementary, for though convinced the doctrine of eternal torment is false, many mature Bible Students cannot readily explain the scriptures used to support the...
