Trash Trump? I've said a number of times that he is a great supporter of Israel and I commend him for that. I don't need to trash Mr Trump. He is well able to do that all by himself. The present world seems unable to see anything in terms other than black and white. I'm old enough to believe...

Yes. It was a culture shock. We did not bring our vehicle with us as we were told they were readily available in NZ. Big mistake. My dad went to buy one. At first, he thought a car yard was a museum. The car park was like a 1940's movie set. Restaurant food was terrible, so at least we were used...

Tell me about it. We also have strict biosecurity controls, yet we also have fire ants. Somehow they snuck through. One of our most destructive pests is the feral cat. I love cats, but they are excellent hunters. We kept ours indoors. The other more, dangerous invasive species has two legs. it...

On the basis of your own words, how can you claim to be saved?

Absurd conclusion. "Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ." Colossians 2:16 & 17. The Torah demands that covenant people be circumcised...

I'm glad that you know what I would and would not do. Except you do not. You call me a liar and accuse me of trying to manipulate people. I hope you realise that God takes note of your false accusations.

No, it's not an illusion. I do not believe Genesis to be some kind of allegory either. The "gap theory" explains how it is possible to reconcile the apparent old earth with the Genesis account.

The Levitical law gives instructions regarding the response to any contagious disease. I used the flu as a modern example. Not so many people get leprosy these days. God does not save people in order to place them back under the law that killed them in the first place. I've said this many...

You should check out the actual Greek. Lord Jesus was being amusing. The name Peter is "Petros", which is a stone or pebble. The Rock is "Petra", which means a large rock. According to Paul and Peter, the Rock is Christ. Peter had no more apostolic authority than any other apostle. There is no...

Our migration laws have changed. Because I was an NZ resident, I was automatically given permanent residency in Aus. It would not happen now. I'd better shut up now. If I start on migration policy, i could find myself in trouble with the thought police here.

I can accept that God created the present creation in 6 days. I have no reason to doubt the Genesis account. That is one of many reasons why the old earth/new creation point of view makes sense to me.

Much like New Zealand as a nation.......... I lived there briefly in the 1960's. My family emigrated from the UK. My father was unimpressed and arranged for me to move to Australia to stay with my uncle. That was late in 1966. My family stayed in NZ. I've lived in Australia ever since. I meet a...

Mr Trump's words speak for him. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. I also observe what he does. I am a conservative. If I lived in America, I would vote republican. But only God can save America, not any man.

So you expect people to burn down their houses if they get the flu? That's in the law. "Hear O Israel", not "Hear O gentiles". Read Acts 15. And Galatians. Colossians as well.

Yes. Some here ignore the truth that we die to the law. It's not unusual. Most Christians cling to to the law as some kind of spiritual life jacket, as if agreeing with the law enables them to keep it. God did not throw Noah and his family life jackets. He enabled them to build an ark. No doubt...

Jesus also said that if your eye offends you, pluck it out. New covenant, new life and new law. The difference between you and me is that I follow the whole counsel God, not just the bits that suit me.

Do you not know that there are many kinds of light? God is light. He also created light. God is not His creation. I have lights in every room of my home. It's not God shining out of them. God created the sun and the sun gives light. God is not the sun. No, 1 John 1:5 is not a lie. Your issue is...

Thanks. I've looked at both points of view and the young earth view leaves me with a lot of unanswered questions. I also am sure that dinosaurs are not millions of year old. How old is the earth? God has not chosen to make that clear.

That the earth is only 6 or 7,000 years old is not a given. I agree that the current creation is about that time scale. However, God's word implies that there was a creation prior to Genesis 1:2. It's known as Gap theory or the pre-Adamic creation. One proponent is Larry Ollison, I've watched...

My mistake, I thought God was God. You make the error of assuming that because God is light, then light must be God. That is evidently not true. Read the creation account in Genesis. God created light.
