Maybe being the best monk he could be was hard to keep up and he needed an outlet for his frustrations, and the boards gave him that, as it does for many, just a thought.
I think that most think the difference is that being of the world means taking part in the vices of the world. And it is that we are to not take part in.
There must be a difference in meaning when referring to the world, and referring to the earth, being that God created the earth to be inhabited by mankind. What is your view of this difference? Thanks.
Has anyone considered that there were two creations of mankind? The first was creation of humans that were to fill the earth with offspring, but that Adam and Eve were the first of the chosen that parented those that were to be God's chosen people? The Chosen people that Jesus was one of? Those...
How is one " to hold in esteem or honor" (which is what respect means, one of its meanings anyway)someone that they believe is doing something whether intentionally or not that is wrong?
It asks here how do you view Jesus, and yet it is Paul that is being discussed, somewhat anyway. Has anyone here ever just read the words of Jesus and see what they get out of just what he said? and how it may be different from what is said by others in the bible?
If I left a church why would I care at all what those that I left thought of me, being that I would have chose not to be one of them anymore. I'd care more about what those of the new church thought of me being that it would be them that I would be having a relationship with. Just a thought...
If you believe that they do not believe in the resurrection, what do you think their hope is? Just being dead forever?
Their hope is a resurrection into the kingdom of God, The 144000 ruling with Jesus from heaven, others a resurrection of life on the new earth. If I am wrong, hopefully...
Maybe because your post is too long and most people do not want to get into things that are too deep? It isn't like a conversation which is what most posters are looking for. It is more like an essay, one isn't in the habit of replying to them. Just my thoughts...
I like the stick too. :)
If so, how do they hope to bring others to the truth as they believe they have it to others if they will not talk to those they consider unbelievers? Are they going to next stop going door to door,too, which would please most, because they might be associating with unbelievers? Is this what...
Why are you not suppose to be here?
Maybe love can not be provoked means that one will not be loved by provoking another to love them?
Just a thought...
It has been awhile since I've been on....a break is need sometimes.
How have you been?

Oh, I get it. Jesus didn't really know what he was saying....that you know what he meant to say....which is something other than what he did say.
When not liking something that Jesus said, or the obvious meaning of what he said.....hey, just change the meaning to what you want it to have said...
Oh, I get it, Jesus really didn't mean what he said there, it isn't what he really meant.
Jesus saying this.."I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God" isn't what he really meant! Why did he say it then!
I suppose you know better what he really meant to say? than...
