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

Verse 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 

“Innumerable hordes of horses, and them that sat on them! Gibbon describes the first invasion of
the Roman territories by the Turks thus: ‘The myriads of Turkish horse overspread a frontier of six
hundred miles, from Tauris…[Read more]

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.

THE PERSECUTED RECEIVE THE KINGDOM

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven! (Matthew 5.10)

JESUS ​​DOES NOT PROMISE his disciples the glory and the riches of the earth, nor even a life without trials; he offers them the privilege of walking wit…[Read more]

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]

Mike we are traveling around the sun @ 35 thousand miles an hour in one direction,  and at 24 thousand miles per hour in another direction.  We are really moving brother.

We in our orbit around the sun , which is our circular path of  approximately 31 million miles we complete in 365 days , means we are traveling at approximately 476 miles a da…[Read more]

Adam…….you have to go back to the original prophesy of Daniel 2,   And make it all fit to the coming of Jesus , if you do that you will see there a SIX KINGDOMS mentioned by him there.  We are in the fifth and the Sixth is yet to come, that is the Kingdom of Jesus Christ and the Saint’s,  Daniels 2 prophesy only went that far.  Rev 17 picks it…[Read more]

Darius the Mede – Historiography as Exegesis

The most anomalous element in this introductory passage in Dan 9 is the figure of Darius the Mede. Previous generations of scholars attempted to identify this Median monarch, but today there is a general consensus that he is a fictitious character.  A historical King Darius is known from both within an…[Read more]

THOSE WHO PROVIDE PEACE ARE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD

Blessed are those who bring peace, for they will be called children of God! (Matthew 5.9)

JESUS ​​IS “the prince of peace” (Isaiah 9.5); his mission is to restore to earth and to heaven the peace which sin has banished from them. “Therefore being j…[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.

Nope. I haven’t even verified that South Dakota exists. But here’s the difference… I have no valid reason to think that Australia and South Dakota don’t exist. On the other hand, I have many very valid reasons to think that we aren’t living on a ball that spins 1012 mph.

Likewise, I have no valid reason for thinking the earth is not a sphere.…[Read more]

Do you really suppose Isaiah was saying that God looks down on half of a ball, which appears as a circle to Him from His vantage point? Where is the “up” from which God looks “down”? Remember there is no “up” or “down” in the model to which you subscribe.

Sorry, but this is nowhere near teaching a flat earth. For a start, you know that God c…[Read more]

Proclaimer:  Science cannot create an experiment to prove his existence. You can only know by looking at the odds and using common sense.

“Science” is investigation.  It doesn’t “prove” things, or “create” things.  It is the investigation into things – which reveals observational data.  Then flawed human beings interpret that data within their own…[Read more]

Proclaimer:  But do you really know that Australia exists Mike.

Nope.  I haven’t even verified that South Dakota exists.  But here’s the difference… I have no valid reason to think that Australia and South Dakota don’t exist.  On the other hand, I have many very valid reasons to think that we aren’t living on a ball that spins 1012 mph.

Proclaimer:  And yes, there is a tent around the earth. It is our beautiful God created atmosphere.

Please share a photo of another example of a spherical tent that Isaiah may have know about when he called the heaven  tent.  Also please explain how our atmosphere compares to the heaven/firmament taught in the Bible.  And then, since we know tha…[Read more]
