Someone can get born again believing in Jesus as God..that He died and rose again, and that by believing in Him they have eternal life. They may then learn the Trinity teaching later. But....if they are taught Jesus isn't God straight off the bat... denying the Trinity that way ...then they...

Sure I can pray for you all. I've got a friend in Auckland who owns the law firm Chan & Co. In Greendale. He is from Hong Kong but been in NZ since he was 10. Grew up in CHCH.. studied here then went to Auckland . I've been to Auckland a number of times to see him. I found Auckland to be a...

Soil here is quite good.. but if you go by the port hills it's rocky and clay like. We get good sunshine hours here. Not as much as Nelson but not far off it. Because it was originally swamp here ..if it gets wet the ground can get boggy..but it is the garden city..so it's good soil.

Yeah I had a sore stomach ready to get up at 4 am. Tried to sleep after getting up.. couldn't.. so up now :) Anyway, the Flax im potting is Phormium Tenax.. dunno if that is Harakeke.. I think it is. It's got long orange roots and quite tough. We can grow forget-me-nots.. but I don't think...

I'm doing flax at the moment... Digging it up, washing it, cutting it and potting it. In spring and summer we will be doing poa cita and Hebe among other little plants. We plant the flax and little ones small. We lay them down in grids and they get picked up the next winter time I don't work...

Planting natives? I work at the city council plant nursery here. We get bulk amounts of plants ready for the river, roadside and parks.

Ye are god's ...small g is a reference to saints having the authority to be judges. Small g gods was another term for judges or magistrates. What is the context around 'ye are gods' ? Who is speaking to whom? What is the subject? What is the occasion for speaking?

Yeah, in 2011 I was in the middle of town at the Cathedral Square. I was with other staff supporting over 100 people who have intellectual disabilities. The floor starting moving like a surfboard and there was rumbling and crashing. I was at the bottom of a four storey building. I was about...

Taking out people who just tick Christian in the box.. takes a whole lot of the 32 percent down. But it is just a guess. Im probably wrong .

Yeah ..ticking Christian on the census isn't a personal relationship with Jesus. Some Roman Catholics tick Christian on the census... So would some others who don't actually believe in Jesus. True believers I'd think would be more like 5 percent.

Crime wise.. it's ok here.. it's always had an underground extensive drug culture and prostitution happening out of sight, but not the raiding and gang violence so much.

Yeah in Christchurch. It's okay here. We've been pretty lucky. We got a bit of flooding here but it was more rural areas that copped it. Plains flooded. Weather is coming right this week. Good forecast.

I understand this. I've had a pastor who we would do all sorts together. Regular meet ups for dinner and coffee/tea... went to another country with others as a group together. But his family got bigger and he got completely committed to pastoring and so I lost regular contact. Only Sunday...

Also..the candlestick by context is the place of the Holy Spirit in a congregation.. gathered corporately . It's not an individuals indwelling in question.

Well, these are disciples, and they did believe. A group receiving the Holy Spirit is different from individual receiving the Holy Spirit. A group... receiving..that's becoming one of God's churches..being empowered as already saved and water baptised believers. An individual receiving...

Put the context around this quote first. Who is being asked this question? What is the setting? What is the subject? What is the occasion for speaking?

I can relate. I am not a fussy or high attention to small things person. So I can be clumsy.. and I have vision issues sometimes. I'm more interested in social dynamics and theology than whether the window is closed and oven switch at the wall is turned off. But yeah, Paul was adamant with the...

Well dissing Hillsong is common. No big deal there. Especially since they and Bethel have got into trouble with their morals and money management. A church does not need to water things down or do many concerts. What were the NT churches doing? Being unified in the truth mostly The church at...

I like quiet too..but love music. So usually have it playing in the car. I find Christian music.. Modern style seems a bit wishy washy. The lyrics sometimes you can apply to any religion. At least any monotheistic one. For eg.. saying I worship you... And then not mentioning Jesus' name...

Yes God will chasten the believer who gets into sin..as a loving Father does. But also as a loving Father does..they do not leave when their child is naughty
