Re: Lies We Believe About God (author of The Shack)

Re: Why did Jesus stop reading?

I don't visit as often as I used to (not sure if you remember, but I was also compared to Joseph Smith in one of ...

Homer wrote: I thought the issue concerned things that are in the bible which are claimed to be false. Joshua's conquests, God sending the flood, God striking down Herod, etc., etc., are in all the several translations I possess. What translation did MacDonald read? Nice comment. I'd use Paidion's ...

Re: Improper to pronounce Yahweh?

If I kn...

Re: God is Love and the Trinity
Hi 21centpilgrim, You kind of lost me with this last comment. It seems you're driving at some point, but I'm not clear what it is.
