    It is called spin... eg Spinning any topic back to one's favorite grinding axe... We all do it to some degree or other, I fear... Arsenios

    So what does the Galatian Church teach today, Menno? Or was Christ unable to impart His Teachings to others? Which Church did Christ succeed in establishing, Menno? Which Church did Paul succeed in establishing? Where is the historical Church that teaches your version of Christian Dogma...

    PERFECT LOVE

    This Church was founded by Paul, Menno - When he wintered over in Antioch that year, remember? In Antioch where the followers of Christ... The People of the Way... Were first called Christians, remember? We have not changed his teaching in 2000 years now, and counting... If all the...

    You see, when you are born of God, as this little pericope so plainly tells us, we are given the "right to become" Children of God... That "right" is actually exousia, which means "Authority", describing the possession within ones self of Power, and this Power within one's self is the New...

    Be merciful.

    What does Sharia Law prescribe for those who are non-Muslims? I must say that dragging such a criminal ideological event into Christian Theology discussions is rather sketchy... Especially when you demonize and slander the motivation of the perpetrator... And in the process promote your own...

    Be merciful.

    The Khmer Rouge in Cambodia had packs of such children murdering millions... Millions... Only 42 children were mauled by the two she-bears? None killed? Attacking an old bald man? I would say Glory to God Who was so Merciful! Arsenios

    Here is what you are up against, Seven B's: Lucifer, the greatest of all the angels, who was bodiless and pure, the most blessed Light-Carrier of all of God's creation, FELL... We, who are already fallen in Adam from Lucifer through the Serpent, now are living in fallen flesh in sensuous coats...

    PERFECT LOVE

    Well, there is the case of Jonah, who decided to bag the whole God-thing and go in the opposite direction God had commanded him to go... And we all know that this did not happen... Yet his story is never explained in the Bible as being about guaranteed pre-selection unto Salvation... He did...

    The difference between a student and a disciple is essential to understand... A parallel difference exists between empathy and compassion... Compassion encompasses empathy... Discipleship encompasses study... A similar difference exists between a football fan's knowledge of the game... And...

    The English derivative is "HARPOON" from harpazo... Very much a transitive verb... Something that something or someone does to something or someone ELSE... Arsenios

    "Except ye become as these little children, you will be unable to enter the Kingdom of Heaven..." The Kingdom of God is not for the studious Bible reader, but for the pure in heart... Arsenios

    They are not students, these babies who died - Certainly not Bible students... Yet they are, imnsho, much closer to God than the likes of you, me and Menno... Living fallen in a fallen world under the rulership of death and separated from God takes its toll... And that toll is death... Living...

    The devil's alternative... The Nazi version: "Which child will you choose to live and which to die?" Just help as best you can and pray for all, including the Nazi... And don't forget to thank God for showing you that your Home is not this fallen world... Arsenios

    And this one too: 1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. I have yet to find the Bible verse that tells us to walk around holier-than-thou and too-bad-about-you... Arsenios

    Through Baptism by the Church... fwiw, all baptized babies die - At least eventually, mind you... :) Children do live in a special kind of Grace, don't they!? The parents disciple the child in love in the Faith of Christ, one would hope... Everyone's mileage will vary, as you know...

    Experiment.

    My brother, I would sincerely caution anyone who thinks God's Love can be defined... This is much more of a paean to love than a definition... It is not even a faulty description... Yet these all are a part of what God permits to occur when man insists on turning from God to the rulership...
