The sultan accepted this intervention of the great powers, and thus made a voluntary surrender of

Carmel……I see you still like to insert your own words into scriptures,  But you never really answer anything asked  of you,  even a simple thing as the “who is your “FIRST LOVE”.   is it Jesus Christ or God the Father, or both.  As I said a True Trinitarian can’t honestly answer that question, but it is a very important question according t…[Read more]

Berean……….God the Father must be your “ONLY” “FIRST LOVE”. .  You would be surprised how many don’t really know that brother.  You see that was the downfall of the Church at Ephesus, Jesus said, except they repent, They would lose their position.

You see there should be for all of us “only” one “First” love,  for us all and it should be for God t…[Read more]

DARIUS THE MEDE

The Problem: ‘The references to Darius the Mede in the Book of Daniel have long been recognised as providing the most serious historical problem in the book.’ Yet the Bible clearly declares that after the death of the Chaldean king Belshazzar ‘Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old’ (Dn. 5:30-31…[Read more]

Cartoonist Michael Leunig has been axed from his prized position in The Age over an image on vaccination that stirred up controversy.

Yes it is true, it is the love of God the Father for us which is “the first” love “.
Jesus gave himself up for us, out of love for the Father (first love) and for us.
It can only be so, for God the Father is the source of all life in the universe, and all honor and glory go to Him first.

Hi Gene,

YOU: Berean……you still avoided the question,

 it was the Father that so loved us that “HE” , gave “HIS” SON ,

nowhere does it say the Son loved us or the world so much he,  the Son gave his only Soul for us,  In fact Jesus ask God the Father to take his dying command away from him.

 So it wasn’t because of Jesus’ great love…[Read more]

It was through contact with warm and loving Christians that I discovered God’s love for meand for all.
Looking back, I know that Jesus is the great revealer of this immeasurable love of the Father.
The Father and the Son are ONE, and we can love the Father only through the Son who gave himself up for us. We love him because he loved us the…[Read more]

“He stretches out the north over empty space

And hangs the earth on nothing.

“He wraps up the waters in His clouds,

Doesnt sound like a flat earth with liquid  water above to me. The water above is clouds. The earth  doesn’t hangs on anything  because of gravity. And empty space exists.

Science means knowledge. Conscience means With Knowledge.

When it says that knowledge shall increase, it means science will increase.

I realise not everyone can keep up and of course not all science / knowledge is actually true as well. Generally speaking knowledge has increased.
