Just to put on the record Hyper Grace believers do believe this and spent a long time showing me exactly how and why they believe this. For them lying, murdering as believers was no problem at all, to any degree. The strange thing was their emotional ideas had not taken this on board until it...

How governments run are about institutions and justice. Many have emphasised meritocracy is a key ingredient, rewarding success and the ability to create social networks. After having contact with hyper grace groups, my feelings towards those who use the word Christian and knowing what true...

You are making a simple assumption that any government is necessarily religious to one degree or another. Governments are there to govern, making daily decisions as to government investment and spending and pass laws and amend others. You will find people of many different convictions or...

Christian theocracy is dead, and only the right wing who spread conspiracy theories and turn non-christians into devils justify the need to take over. Christians working within government and bringing salt and light to difficult decisions is still alive and kicking.

I have seen young believers who have had very aberrant lives, have this real conviction they could never come to Christ unless He drew them, and what christians are is something they felt they would never be. This sense of failure and lostness, has a true theme of the chosen are called and the...

A society dominated by love and concern for each citizen with justice and integrity is a christian theocracy. Jesus never came to dominate but to save, to show the path of righteousness and love, to be the light in a dark place and offer real hope to those who had sold out to sin and destruction...

Authority and teaching comes from Jesus to the believer. No organisation has a veto on this teaching. Jesus compares His teaching to those of false christs and false teachers who do not teach what Jesus teaches. My point is Jesus did not appoint an organisation or group who were to control...

Jesus was never interested in authority and "right" teaching from any group. Jesus is the teacher. Love is a difficult emotional word, going from feeling affectionate towards someone to dying for them. I have had a conversation where when I used love, it was thought of as the hollywood sense...

"The phrase I would become a muslim if" sounds very specific. After talking with muslims, I get the feeling they are not sure what a muslim actually is. Some of it is a trick of capture. If you say their creed, you are a muslim and if you then deny it, you are an apostate and can be executed...

I have talked to JW's. I have two real points to make to them. The first is about love and letting love flow from the heart to others. The second is about control, letting Jesus lead and feed and grow His people. Any organisation which dictates the meaning of everything is not letting...

A person is a term often used to describe humanity self awareness and ability to objectify themselves and others. It appears the Lord, Jesus and the Holy Spirit can do this, and we gain this from them in creation. In one sense God has created us in His image, and exalted us above every other...

For me the correct question we need to ask ourselves is "Have we met Jesus?" I have heard people say this phrase so many times "If God speaks to me I will believe in Him, but not until then" What they meant is God appearing in the sky saying "I am God" I have met many believers who think if...

There is something that obviously is different between us. What type of person am I? What makes me happy or sad? What do I approve of or serious dislike? WalkInLight is my name here, but does this label describe me or is it just the start of an interaction. In a conversation at the end of...

Who is God? Let me change this question for a reason. God is not a title that needs filling, a straw man that something will fill. Look at peoples religions. They are trying to make sense of origins, what was the prime mover who caused them to be. The Lord came as a revelation to disclose...

10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Rev 20:10 "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the...

Satan is a fallen angel, he spoke with the Father in Job. In revelation he is put into the lake of fire to be tortured for all eternity. So "alive" meaning self aware and cogent in thought and argument. As the snake in the garden of eden he uses logic to suggest Adam and Eve will not die after...

Windup time...lol

I like your style but rather dry humour. Over the years I realised for the middle classes who went to church were everything was restrained and hidden emotionally, pie in the sky when you die was everything. I grew up in this kind of society, where peoples feelings were all hidden in their...

Building our house upon the rock by putting the sermon on the mount into action. The answer to your question, is founded upon spiritual experience of following Jesus. Salvation is accepting and knowing Jesus. I can write reams of detail, but for most this is just theory. What is a marriage...

Salvation is the conclusion of love bringing life to a dead soul. The phrase to be saved from implies what we have is of value which is endangered so needs saving. Salvation is the beginning of life from a dead and dying world. C S Lewis described life like a ghost, which in Christ becomes...
