    Thorn in the flesh

    Interesting, but I think it was pain of some kind. Maybe a limp, back problem. A hidden problem that meant he was reminded all the time that he needed God's healing. As I get older, I too feel my mortality and vulnerability. I remember in my youth how invincible I felt, as if I could take on...

    What was covid like for you?

    I had it and found myself very miserably suffering for a week, much of it in bed. It was like flu but I was so afraid it might get worse. The headaches, temperature and sweating were the worst. I was hallucinating at times and it was frightening. Many of my friends have been really very poorly...

    Thorn in the flesh

    What could it have been, for Paul? This affliction that kept him grounded and not too carried away by his elation in revelation and Christ? There has been lots of conjecture over the centuries but what do you think? It had to be something ongoing with his health, maybe hidden from others, that...

    Would you forgive

    All very true. It takes great strength and maturity of spirit to actually do it though.

    Would you forgive

    Surely repentance from the guilty one is necessary? Just like us, we are forgiven when we pray with contrition. I just distance myself from people who are toxic.

    Theatre safety

    How safe is it to go to the theatre, regarding infection with covid? I have tickets to use, having postponed several times but I do not want to go if it means illness.

    Would you forgive

    Unfaithfulness, in the worst scenario, is a very repulsive thing. Why should it be forgiven? I couldn't bear it.

    Would you forgive

    Not easily. Why should I? It depends however on the reasons, whether they are truly sorry. The likelihood of them ever doing it again. Overall I would break the relationship.

    James, Brother of Jesus

    I love the Book of James, it is almost a condensed summary of how to live in obedience to Christ. Yet James was said to be slow to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, it is said their other brothers were too. Certainly James became a firm believer after the crucifixion. I do not know if the...

    Samuel

    Thanks, I did not know that.

    Samuel

    Hi, May I ask does it say that in the Bible?

    Favourite Hymns

    I love that last one, O Come O Come Emmanuel.

    Favourite Hymns

    I find that hymns express prayer more fully than my often inadequate efforts. I collect hymn books and analyse the lives of the authors of hymns as they are often the most inspiring of people. A powerful favourite that always brings me to tears is Abide with Me by Henry Francis Lyte. I have...

    Directly taught

    I have read that Paul always maintained he was taught directly by Christ after his will and emotions were captured on the road to Damascus. He said 'the mystery was made known me by revelation'. Certainly Paul was the biggest of influences build the early church, with a big portion of the New...

    The order of things

    So, thinking upon this, does Satan come looking for us?

    The order of things

    Reading Matthew Chapter 4, the order is interesting. Jesus baptised, tempted by the Devil, begins His ministry. A point here, After being so sorely tempted, Jesus returned home to Nazareth and Capernaum. That makes such sense, He went home to be with His family and recover His strength and...

    Jesus and John the Baptist

    Yes, agreed. Yet we can deduce from facts known. They were cousins, had great respect for each other. Yet only upon baptism did John truly see who Jesus was. Jesus paid huge respect to be baptised by John.

    Have you ever disobeyed this commandment?

    That Jesus forgives us when we show contrition is the greatest gift.

    Have you ever disobeyed this commandment?

    I do not covet anything of anyone's, maybe I did when young. Yet I know I am a wretched sinner who deserves nothing because I am guilty of many other sins. We all are.

    Which non-Christians do you think contributed the most to mankind's well-being?

    I see your point actually. People who truly furthered the good of mankind.
