    Burning bible

    Last night O dreamt that O was at an expo with all other countries of the world and there was a water sprinkler that morphed into a droid that I can only see. I have covid though lol.

    Ungodly Australians

    Of the people that identifed as being Christian there is reason enough to assume that not all are practising their Christian tradition. Interestingly, Albanese, has put it on the record at his disagreement with the US supreme Court ruling. Interestingly Anthony was raised by his mother, I wonder...

    Why there is no secret rapture.

    Point taken that it is a Protestant history of persecution.

    Why is scripture so fuzzy about heaven and hell?

    I don't think God is fuzzy about heaven and hell, I think for humankind it is far easier to fuzzy the prospect of hell than the presence of heaven.

    Rudy Giuliani slapped by worker angry over abortion ruling at Staten Island supermarket

    From what I have heard Rudy speak and his courage as the former attorney general, calling him late for dinner would have had more of an impact

    Jesus abolished the entire Old Testament.

    Jesus ordained the Law, He of course was the Word of God and He has fulfilled it. Only Jesus the promised one could fulfill the law because God ordained it

    Homosexuality! Feel free to respond

    I did a typo, I meant love God in its completeness. The first of the 10 commandments.

    Homosexuality! Feel free to respond

    Sometimes people overthink things and read into a text that never was the intended meaning (isogete). Sin is both a result, action and consequence. I'll say it again sin is a result an action and a consequence. The first commandment states whom we are to love in its completeness. Lust is never...

    Why there is no secret rapture.

    I don't support a global rapture per se, however God is free to take whomever and whenever. This period in Church History in the west is largely unprecedented as imo the West has enjoyed a period of freedom from persecution. This is not saying that there is not persecution, far from it just not...

    The secrets of "Faith", and the narrow path.

    Is not God's love and grace expressed through Yeshua sufficient for all! Did he die for a few, many just how many.. those through election? I believe God redemption was for all, however not all will be chosen. This means that whilst God gives freely his Son for our justification, not all will be...

    The secrets of "Faith", and the narrow path.

    I find this difficult to get my head around. Election for me is known by God himself. If God states that Jesus dies for all people kind then I am inclined to accept that premise. I understand the dilemma though about some isolated tribe in the highlands of New Guinea that in times past not...

    Is Jesus God himself or the son of God?

    Jesus is God, made man. Early heresies tried to seperate God from man, thus we have the Nicene Creed. Jesus is often referred to as the Word of God also in scripture. I particularly like the book of revelation as it inspires me in my faith, also there is a special blessing accompanied...

    The secrets of "Faith", and the narrow path.

    I liken my salvation to Justification, Sanctification and Glorification. In this I prescribe to Karl Bart's theology of "God is for us" and saying yes to God's yes. For me I am justified through accepting Christ as my Lord and saviour. I prescribe to water immersion. I understand that God...

    Yes dear. Happy wife, happy life and other terms...

    I find that feminism has evolved from a way in which women were represented in the workforce (pay, discrimination etc) and how they were defined in the house and marriage. Secondly, men in part through inaction and through a poor example of how men should live and raise a family has forced women...

    Two person games

    I agree board games are great, also a hike (if it is safe where you live) is a great idea. Fishing, joining a local community group might provide a part of a solution. I have been married for 18 years and whilst my wife and I are quite different in our likes, we do find some activities that both...
