Christian, retired and concerned about many things. " Not all who say Lord, Lord" Matthew 7:21-23. The header is not random, it's my home town, before I was born. But similar even now

The top 4 are the elite + , no disagreement, they all have the ability to pull teams through. In other words they are good despite problems in the offensive line, as opposed to good because of it.

Hebrews 9: 19-25

I have already stated it is not my job to convince you Jesus or God is real. There is enough evidence, to show he is, but without faith, you will not accept that. Which of the historical facts of the bible do you deem not true. You can read the bible and go to church, doesn't make you a Christian??

Well let's get one of your foundational truths into the light. Faith is the English word, and used to interpret the Greek Word Pistis. Which in itself means assurance, belief, and so the word is interpreted as faith. You also chose to leave out of your dictionary definition, this part, belief.

This is so sad. And a reminder to the church about whom you elevate and why? Young people need to know they need to focus on Christ. But I have no right to judge and wont, prayer for him, his worship group and those who followed him. Acts 7:60

I have asked for which fact you disagree with. Which historical account. you should know... if in fact you have read the bible. if not should you really be. arguing about what it says. Ive just joined a book club, prior to discussing Pygmalion I will read it.

Why, tell me the history fact you disagree with. The main body of "facts" are in Samuel 2 books, Kings 2 books and Chronicles 2 books. Would you like to tell me that the Romans did not murder Christians, both in and out of the arena.

He doesn't. You need to read the parable of the widows mite, and Amos chapters 4-5 in particular.

which historical fact do you disagree with, you really need to check it out, my degree was in voting behaviour, politics of Europe, and history of China mainly

I did not say it was an history book, I said it was inspired. So it covers many genre's History, poetry, prophesy, narrative, wisdom. Just so you are aware, Im not Catholic, Im an Evangelical Anglican, who probably is closer to the Westminster confession for my doctrinal beliefs

I'm absolutely not. Of course I have emotions, so do scientists by the way. My faith was given, it is that old nugget about being born again. I cant prove that either. Im not a creative person trust me.

Not true, not even on a very basic level. I challenge many so called church beliefs or more accurately traditions. I also dont think any church should hide sexual misconduct. I will say again, it is not my job to prove God exists, you have nature to show that, the planets are in perfect sync, why?
comment in response to
post
No it is not my job to prove God exists. You have nature for that. My Job is to present the gospel as best I can. not easy here, therefore I keep asking you to read Mark's gospel as a start

A sexual is a term created by men and women to justify sexuality, he had no interest in sex. You seem very obsessed with sex.

I will say again I wasn't trained by the church. My degree is in history and politics, part of which was an understanding of philosophies that guide men/womens thoughts. I have faith in Jesus because it was given to me. I can live with so called gods and their followers hating me,my faith is intact

My dictionary says logical proof, but also complete trust or confidence., belief in religious doctrines. Again I refer you to Hebrews 11:3, logical, is not an assumption. In fact Christian faith goes against worldly understanding. So I have complete trust in Jesus Faith... So neither do you.

so it stopped being a peaceful protest, for the record, I dont agree with Trump, but violence erupts because organisers fail to control the protest.

He wasn't protesting, he was in his house, a temple of prayer. He was posting out a difference between false religion and true religion. my personal opinion, is that protest usually ends in violence, because many masked people intend it to!!!

Nope. I dont agree with you, Sex was not part of of him. check it out, when we get to heaven (and there is one Revelation 22) there will be no marriage, we have marriage to multiply, and for relationship. Any marriage based purely on sex, will fail. hence so many divorces, new models.

I dont cherry pick. and dont believe I understand every single thing, or know the How's of for instance Creation, I still use my thesaurus, and bible dictionaries, and mine, I do not disengage my brain, it was God given, as was the thought process, but every valley and Hill, takes me to God.

As I say interpretations, of words. Just like when you translate a novel now, not every word and sentence fits, some phrases do not translate exactly.

You use sex, Im afraid. It is your barometer for judging people, Jesus was God, and so would not have had sexual feelings, he was not asexual. That term is used by people who want to justify their obsession with sex.

it was Tyndale who produced the King James, with help, and yes there is now the NIV, the ESV etc.
comment in response to

It's slightly older than that. I also believe the Old Testament, There is a basic agreement between Greek, Hebrew, latin scholars, both christian and atheist, jew and catholic, that it accurate, different interpretations, but check a thesaurus, or better the Dead Sea scrolls.

Sorry to inform you, your mind as one centre, sex. It is not true for everyone, It is so sad, that you reduce everyone to sex, I almost weep for people.

It wont make sense to you, you're an unbeliever. Instead you use a made up story made into a film, called the last temptation. there is no scripture that would prove it. The film by the way was blasphemous, but I dont have rights to take revenge, there will be judgement day for all of us, me too.

That is not what I said. What I said, is that faith is a gift, given by God. only he can give it. You dont have faith because you haven't been saved, you "problem" in this matter, is you assume, Im a giddy goody trying to prove to you God exists, Im not on either count.
comment in response to

I dont have to prove God exists, not my role. That is up to the Holy Spirit, my role is to show the gospel, the cross and resurrection, that Jesus was God. Whether you believe is the role of the Holy Spirit John 15:18 26, yes when I go on social media my bible is open.

I do not fear, except for unbelievers. I did, but dont now. I wasn't trained by the church, for the last time, Luke 24:13-33, John 17:20-26, John 16:5-16. I think maybe you dont want to read scripture as I say Mark is a good place to start.

True, and inspired by God. " we did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye witnesses of his majesty" (2 Peter 1:16) Matthew 17. Peter was an actual person, who was crucified by the Romans, one of those pesky facts.

He wasn't gay. He was God, I sometimes get sd or upset because, if christians were to use the same thoughtlessness as you, then we would be threatened and abused. You know it isn't true, its a figment of your own mind and imagination, your problem is unbelief, nothing to do with sexuality

On the wall of my Hallway, never considered framing it, the post card at the bottom corner, is a war time image of St Pauls.

insult, why. Thats rhetorical, you think that believers have not gone through these exact same insults. it's there is scripture, you can read. Importantly Im signing off now, and very happy this morning, I didnt resort to insults. As I say, Im a sinner, subject to the same needs and same mercy,

As I say you have that right because of free will. actually its scripture that states my God is true, I just chose to believe, and I agree your gods, look very like you.

and thats where you are wrong, he/she looks a lot like you. Because you make your own rules. And woe betide anyone who disagrees, You make your own choice, unless God calls you, it is hard to understand but without God. I/We are nothing.
