    Bending the Law to Get Trump

    Bending the Law to Get Trump Or is it, bent Trump gets the Law? We live in a system where Grace is subservient to Law. Law dominates the concept of peoples idea of Justice, ie break the law and you've got coming to you.....meaning, arbitrary payback will inflict its due if you get busted. When...

    Blind Guides and Deluded Followers

    The phenomena of projection is independent of the person being projected on. For example, we (men) want justice which in real terms means revenge. When we read of God's justice we assume God means revenge. That is our projection onto God. God's justice is liberation which is quiet different to...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    God gives life and breath to all. Why do we suppose he shows favouritism? Is it because we do? If God didn't like a particular people he could just withhold their ability to reproduce. God giving Israel the privilege of extra insight to share his reality with the nations around was missed by...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    Speaking in tongues can also be understood as having the gift of sharing the Gospel succinctly. The Acts 2 account not only tells us it was other languages but also what it was they were sharing ie, 'the wonderful works of God' If it is not sharing the wonderful works of God in a way understood...

    Self Control

    Thank you for the affirmation Rj. I try to put what I am trying to say into as few words as possible.....and I must admit, even I need to re read my own posts slowly so that I don't miss the intent. They are not a 'quick fix'.....it requires applying brainpower. I prefer the shorter note...

    Rethinking God

    If we view God independent of Jesus men will and do come up with all sorts of theories. Jesus is the clearest revelation of the nature of God. Jesus is also the exposer of Satan as the one who instigates calamity. We can deduct from this that all things good come down from the Father of lights...

    Self Control

    Is there a difference? I would say yes. One uses a broad brush to tar the unnamed behind their back, the other, a direct approach with the individual with whom there is a difference.

    Self Control

    @Behold If you have ears to hear, then hear! '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...

    Self Control

    You tell me what they (Jesus and Paul) told me what to believe (as if you know) but what did Jesus and Paul tell you?.....was it to tell people good news or was it to give them advice? What is it that you hear? Your postings are all about advising and condemning those which don't agree with...

    Self Control

    You are unaware that anything that tells you what to do, comes under the banner of Law.

    Self Control

    I see you are spinning off in your own head.....again, pretending you know. Matthew 23:13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to

    Self Control

    Behold, if only you had ears to hear yourself. You regularly use the phrase 'most christians' you clearly don't include yourself......what a toss! The following common usage of yours 'Let me show you how' is not only condescending but it assumes you have the right and appropriate thing to say...
