I disagree. The pharisee was communicating the law. Laws are there for reasons, not to be ignored. Jesus' response was to look for a loophole and exaggerate his authority; the loophole is not consistent with the spirit of the sabbath as a covenant of rest.
Besides, we are encouraged by...
So it is a purely subjective experience? In that case, it is more likely that I am simply delusional, isn't it?
That was definitely a subjective experience. Now, how do you know it corresponded with reality?
When you are born again and God makes you spiritually alive, at that point you start to be able to communicate with God. He started to speak to
Me through His Word, for example I had this hatred for my Dad I knew was wrong and didn’t know where it was coming from. I was asking God about it and...

One of the things I like best when reading the Word of God is when the Holy Spirit illuminates the Word and it comes alive. God speaks like that and so great when He does. An example of that is when I had this hatred towards my Dad and had no idea where it was coming from...
Real religious books by Divine Authors don't contradict each other; people do.
From our dialogue so far your posts show you to be uncourteous, brash, and assumptive, whilst projecting your ego.
Because you don't take into account the ethical standard we could be down near Hell, you speak like...
Proverbs9:8-10 Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you. (9) Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning. (10) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the...

is the lake of fire an ocean of love?
a place of refinement, like weaver's soap? like nataraja inflamed with love?
Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a...
I am happy to see you happy
I hope the whole world is happy
God's mercy covers all creatures
thank you brother
Muslims believe in the incapacity of Jesus to divinity or that he is God, and that GOSPEL has misled the facts
This is very painful when I find my brothers on the way far from the...
"genetically modified scriptures "
That's a good one.
I have no quarrel with anything you said here.
There are corrupt men with dishonest intent, and some have made efforts to corrupt the ancient scriptures. That's why students of the Bible are careful to detect spurious insertions, like the...
Are you that blind, that you can not read.
I said Eve had two sons.
Had you read my post #18 ---> Seeing Eve only had two sons, one being her seed and the other being the serpent seed)
As to where your going, who knows.
i'm not. most folks do not like to be reproved. only the wise know that they will learn something from it.
Proverbs9:8
Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and...

She has hewn out her seven pillars;
2She has prepared her food, she has mixed her wine;
She has also set her...
I do not understand what you are saying. I believe the writer of it wrote the truth. But it is not a prophecy about unbelievers. I think it is a prophecy about believers. I think that "where is the promised presence of his" is not a question but is a statement. The reason why it could have...
Dear sav,
Apparently someone didn't pray the "Our Father, thy will be done" with sufficient standing to be heard/answered. 2 Peter is supposedly written by an unknown writer. That would be mocking someone right there. As for "mockers", they will suffer alone. (Proverbs (9:12)

What continues to escape you, sir, is that your claims of understanding of enlightenment in various areas (as explained by your use of metaphor earlier) is tantamount to a claim of enlightenment of your own. I have read you. You are far from the path.
One who has no understanding is in no...
