I'm not comfortable with the insinuation that God (via scripture) can be "absurd".

For my part I believe that God "Speaks into the fleshy tables of my heart"; sometimes via written words, and other times via other means. To me that comprises "the living Word of God" (what the Psalmist references when he says "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee")...

Sure can "If any man (genderless reference) comes to me and loves his father, mother, wife, children, brethren, sisters, and even his own life, more than he loves me, he cannot be my disciple."

I see assassinations looming.

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

Does that mean that companionship is a substitute for scripture?

If a sufficiently capable natural or super natural 'designer' really was behind the origination of the virus then eradication will be dependant on whether or not we have sufficiently 'superior' boffins to outwit the originator.:rolleyes: God grant that I never have "!told you so" occasion...

That's pretty much how I feel about what happened to Christianity from Constantine onwards.

The time is surely ripe for a return to my topic. We now have Corona mutations that have indeed once again placed the virus further steps ahead of mankind's attempt at eradication, and in 10 day's time I am scheduled to receive my first vaccination. But the 'What ifs' loom large in my fears...

It would not be the first time that "it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart". (Genesis 6:6)

What if Covid19 is found to have a mutation capability that negates every vaccine eradication attempt in respect of all persons except those having an efficacious 'passover' faith nailed to their doorposts?

"Trust and obey For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey" But only YOU can know "what to obey". As I've said before "Work out your own salvation with awe and trembling"

Work out your own salvation with awe and trembling. Sufficient to the objective is the complexity thereof, without trying to work out the salvation of others.

"Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware...

Who will join me in suspecting that we could well be currently experiencing a 21st Century 'Provocation'?

Hi Marks I was asking the question as a generality, but my personal situation is similar to yours in that my wife's immunity levels to covid 19 are so low due to her paliative care Chemo treatment that both of us have to exercise extreme isolation. Under grace as distinct from under law I trust...

How should we apply the edict of Matthew 22:21 in the context that God tells us in Hebrews 10:25 to not forget (neglect) the assembling of ourselves together, whereas ‘Caesar’ currently forbids us from doing so?

I found the following message to be a great help in my present time of need and hope the it might likewise be of help to others.

What a woefully unpalatable thread. Moderators are obviously sleeping he sleep of spiritual intoxication.
