John 10 :30* The Father and I are one.” Jesus also prayed that we should be one, in the same way that he is one with the Father. Could the greatest commandments possibly describe how Christ is one with the father. The Father loves Jesus as he loves himself. Jesus loves the Father as he loves...

The same God hears all our prayers, despite our differences. All truth must lead to kindness mercy, forgiveness, and love of our neighbours.

There is only 'One God' the creator of all that is seen and unseen. The same God hears all our prayers despite our differences. Christians know, there is only 'One Jesus Christ', yet we have created thousands of denominations, all worshiping the same Jesus. We want to do things our way. I...

The Jews were God's chosen people, they should have a greater faith than the gentiles. The story of the Roman Centurion. Matthew 5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” 7 Jesus...

Jesus loves us as he loves himself, he died for us, despite all our differences. The very least we should do; is love all our separated brothers and sisters as we love ourselves, despite our differences. This is a flippant analogy..... There is a church where everyone has to wear red shoes...

This is scary, closing 50,000 church buildings and taking their property. Where will the money go, will they donate all the money to the poor and oppressed. Or will the money end up in the pockets of Trump, Musk and their henchmen?

I can sit here in the stillness of my room, the reality is different. The earth is spinning at a 1,000mph, we are orbiting the sun at 67,000mph and our galaxy is strolling through space at 1.3 million mph. And those people in Australia who think they are standing upright without spilling their...

The biggest miracle is the creation of the universe and life. If God can create life from non life, a talking serpent would not be a big deal.

My understanding would be, that all the time they ate from the tree of life, this would keep them alive for ever. The day they stopped eating from the tree of life, death set in, and their bodies started to decay, as our do. When you see the state of mankind today, I don't think we are ready...

The same God hears all our prayers, no matter where we might worship. You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God.

When we help the disadvantaged, we are giving back to God. Matthew 25 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to...

I guess this is a bit of a minefield, with hundreds of translations from many languages, and into many languages. I stick mostly to two translations, and have read the Bible a number of times. There are themes that run throughout the Bible. Apparently, there are about two thousand passages that...

The fear of God is the start of wisdom. Like the law of the land, some people might fear committing murder, because they will be punished if they are caught. A higher form of wisdom, is to love your neighbours as you love yourself, so you would not want to kill them because you have kindness...

The thread is about Bible scholars, and differences between denominations has been mentioned on this thread. My apologies, on reflection, I should have said; the Week for Christian Unity is a profound challenge for Christians. Interfaith relations are an even greater challenge. The same God...

Today marks the start of Christian Unity week, a profound challenge for all of us. The same God hears all our prayers, despite our differences. You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God. Whilst I listen with interest to Biblical scholars, they seem to approach it...
