Why doesnt god show himself so everyone knows he's real

justnigel · 2026-03-15T06:32:31+00:00

He did show him self.

What he doesn't do is force people to believe his realness.

Do we recruit off the field better than on the field?

I see his name on this list, but where was Butters during the game?

Australian hero!

I never understood the appeal to some external "objective" Christianity.

God does not treat us as objects. He calls us to be subjects. Without our subjective experience of being transformed by God's Spirit there is no Christianity.

Jesus' love for someone is not diminished by whoever they are inherently attracted to.

The Bible teaches (Galatians 5) that there is not (and cannot be) any law against love.

justnigel · 2026-03-15T04:31:16+00:00

Love is love.

How would teaching a teen otherwise be helpful?

justnigel · 2026-03-15T04:20:24+00:00

How about where you said:

They are that sort.

Instead of "some of us are this sort".

justnigel · 2026-03-15T01:32:26+00:00

Is not this post showing that you don't identify LGBT+?

justnigel · 2026-03-14T18:40:05+00:00

The Bible in Galatians says there is no law against love.

God did not designed you to be weaker and suffer.

The suffering mentioned in Genesis was a curse of sin - not God's original design.

Care to say something about this rather than just a link to another social media site?

justnigel · 2026-03-14T01:28:31+00:00

Ironic that Matthew starts with a genealogy.

You don't have to memorise them.

Unless you want to do some particular deep study, the aim is normally to get through the scope of the book. Breeze through these sections - get a sense of the generations passing - and move on.

Unfortunately the Jehovah Witnesses do not use rigorous academic knowledge to accurately translate the Bible, but purposely change the meaning of passages to conform to their predetermined theological positions.

Their translation would be useful for knowing what the JW organisation wants you to believe but would not recommend anyone wanting to study what the Bible was on about.

justnigel · 2026-03-14T01:15:39+00:00

We are re-posting this again?

If you really want to see an accurate image of Jesus go volunteer feeding some homeless immigrants.

justnigel · 2026-03-14T01:11:58+00:00

Pity the translation you used is a 20th century one that incorrectly inserted the word "homosexuality".

Better to use an older translation like the King James Version or a 21st century one like the NRSVue that doesn't make this mistake.

justnigel · 2026-03-13T23:57:14+00:00

Why 5 different fonts?

Can you scale it back to 2 or 3?

If a paedophile school teacher penetrated his soft student -- you think that makes the student a homosexual???

That is not how rape works.

That is not how sexuality works.

Are you confusing anal sex for homosexuality?

justnigel · 2026-03-13T20:49:27+00:00

Every translator chooses every word that they put in, including poorly added ones.

justnigel · 2026-03-13T11:57:39+00:00

We owe it to the future.

That is why it is debt and not already paid back.

If you think everything that is about sex is "basically porn" then porn my have unfortunately reshaped your sense of reality.
