Just to confirm that we are somewhat on the same page, you believe that Christ is present, right? I see the variances in doctrine, mee. and I would even go so far as to say that many are false, BUT are they such because of blindness, or deliberation. Can the blind lead the blind? I submit that...

The core essential of the faith is Christ's Spirit, or "Love", bro. That was the word, that was/is the message, that was Christ's command, and that is the core essence of God. 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 8. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will...

welcome

Fair enough, Silas But, there is no entire doctrine that's correct/complete, and that's my point. We all have bit and pieces of the whole but the whole remains hidden. That is one of the reasons why we shouldn't judge others based entirely on what doctrine they adhere to. You are free to...

Not only did you judge, you condemned her as well with your tongue. You did the same with Joel Olsteen, but built those up that share your own views. I'm sure it is no fault of your own, we sometimes see through the glass dimly, man. We have so much influence from here and there, it is hard to...

I might suggest that he doesn't hate the sinner, but rather that spirit within the sinner that intices the molester to do such things in the first place. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world...

I think his love for the "Saved" is simply experienced at a different level by the individual, Silas. God's love is ever present, unchaging and available to all. The truth of it is that we experience his love in as much as we allow it to manifest within. Some people haven't the heart to hear, or...

lol

No, My old usr name was Cage; we've spoken before. I want to point something out, silas. you said this, "What scriptures do you have to affairm that God loves everyone and can you find one scripture where Jesus, the disciples, or the apostles went around telling sinner's of God's love for them?"...

Sup, silas? Yes, I am a Christian. Do you understand the core of the scripture I quoted, Silas?

44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good...

Happy belated, Thomas! James (Formerly known as Cage)

I actually have a different view of this parable, but I can see clearly as to why you would view it this way, mee. In my mind, Christ is not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to God's Grace. It says in 1 Corinthians that knowledge will pass away, so whatever denomination or religion...

Luna, I think our views are very similar regarding heaven and hell. Just thought I'd let you know. Also, do you remember that marriage analogy you gave me some time ago when I was having trouble with the triune nature of God? I think I'm beginning to understand it better now. :) Much Love...

It was more like, "I sure don't want to go to hell" I was in my twenties then, it wasn't until my pre mid thirties that I wanted to please God, (Even then I was completely lost, and rebellious to boot) and it was only recently that I have been able to experience him on a more personal level. I...

I personally think the mustard seed represents the the very same seed in the parable of the sower. If it is infact Love, then this would make sense. How many people choose love over anger, and resentment, and jealousy, etc. Most hide behind these negative spirits for protection, be it from...

Very meaningful story, Thomas. You have lead me to the Desret Fathers teachings before. They make a great deal of sense if you resinate, or meditate on them. You provided the explanation for this story, and I'm glad you did, because I did not understand at first. But holding my ground when I do...

You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed...

Last time I took this test some two years ago, I ended up in level two, lol! Interesting test, James
