Page 187 … transformed into Christ

You then go on to say that, “We are to be transformed into the image of Christ”, and to this I will simply offer a hearty & heartfelt – YES!  … Of course, it might be important for you & yours to keep in mind that Jesus never once condemned anyone he encountered;  that he […]

Page 192 … God of wrath; God of LOVE

“It was never Jesus’ idea to send anyone to Hell.  God intended for us to live forever … Sins don’t send people to Hell; it is the rejection to the solution for your sins that lands you in that place where Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit won’t be.”   Well, if by “the rejection […]

Page 193 … sexually redirected

Bart:    [Bart shared a link here to a testimonial from a man who claims to have been “saved from homosexuality” by converting to fundamentalist Christianity.]   Scaughdt:    Bart, as I mentioned earlier (see page 80 previously), sexual reorientation therapy – the pseudo-scientific foundation of the “ex-gay” movement – has been rejected by all reputable American […]

Pages 196-197 — Diana’s reTurn

Diana:   Daniel, it just isn’t registering with this man … People who want to change the Bible into what they want?  Well, we simply have to pray they get it before it’s too late … Revelation 21:8, Revelation 21:27 and Revelation 22:14 — that is what I read today, and it’s all through the Bible, […]

Page 198 … 1st Stone (thrown gently)

Daniel:   Scaughdt — do you remember Jesus healing the muted man who was possessed by the demon?  The Pharisees had suggested that Jesus’ power came from Satan … Hence, how can Satan drive out Satan?  If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand … And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, […]

Pages 199-201 … Jesus at the Wedding

Daniel:    There is a very good story in the Gospel of Mathew about Jesus attending a wedding between a man and a woman … The festivities lasted for days, and things were getting a little bit dicey, as the groom was running out of beverage for the guests.  That could have spelled disaster for the […]

Page 206 … keeping HIS Word

With regards to your mention of 1 John 2:5, I would humbly recommend reading this in light of the words of Jesus over all others – especially his words in the Sermon on the Mount, which is the teaching of Christ that most readily bears by far the best Spiritual Fruit.   “Whoever keeps His […]

Pages 207-210 … re-Vealing Revelation

Oh, and by the way, if we have the courage to read it closely and compare its verses to those found in the Gospels, Revelation is quite clearly a book that actually blasphemes the Way, the Truth, and the very Life of Jesus Christ!… Feel free to consider the following many verses that show this […]

Pages 211-212 … the many Hearts of Gold

Cyrus:   It isn’t our place to judge others and Scaughdt can believe the way he wants, but like I put it to him before, I think he tries to convince others so he may believe himself.  And you do have a heart of gold, just as you are a child of GOD, Lucy … You […]

Pages 213-214 … Satan’s little helper

Lucy:   Scaughdt, everything you do is for your own glory; there is no praise to God!  You have no idea of who Jesus really is, and it saddens me that I see a lost Soul crying out — and all you have to do is let God speak to you and He will lead you […]

Pages 215-216 … those fallible Pharisees

Daniel:   The Pharisees knew more Scriptures than any of us.  They could recite the 1st five books of the Bible – and yet they didn’t have a relationship with Jesus.   Scaughdt:   Hmmmm … That statement is a bit odd coming from a guy who apparently has relatively little relationship with Jesus’ teachings himself (see […]
