I worked with people who had challenging behaviour; for about twenty years. I have lost count of the number of times I have been punched, kicked, had things thrown at me, plus all the verbal abuse. I came to terms with this by saying to myself, I would rather be hit, than live in fear of being...

I can relate to that, I worked until I was 73, and had around 40 jobs. I have had loads of warning letter, and was sacked from one job after confronting the directors. Totally agree with you that we are wage slaves to the rich, and that will never change. I have never found a dream job. Having...

If God has the power to create the universe and life, then he also has the power to have the Bible written in the way that he desires.

All the law of God hangs and depends on the greatest commandments. But how can you command someone to love God and neighbour? It only makes sense if love is voluntary. There were no laws that said the priest and Levite should stop and help the wounded man, but the Good Samaritan did stop and...

A couple more lines after Romans 9 :13 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e] 14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f]...

Sadly, we live in a crazy world, where violence almost seems the norm. I am pleased to hear you survived your ordeal unhurt. If Peter was protecting himself when he drew his sword, Jesus still rebuked him. Hours later, Peter denied knowing Jesus, Peter was not in a good place. Just my 2c, but...

Jesus knew in advance that two swords would not be enough to defend him. Had Jesus wanted real protection, he surely would have asked that all his disciples be armed. If none of his disciples had a sword, Jesus would not have been able to say, put away your sword. Having two swords was...

You might say that Jesus could hate the man who was nailing him to the cross. No matter what Jesus thought about the man with the nails, he still found it in his heart to pray, forgive them Father for they know not what they do.

Did the greatest commandments have a greatest meaning for Jesus, before he gave them to us? Did Jesus preach anything that he first would not do himself? How did Jesus love all his neighbours as he loves himself? How did Jesus hold out his hands on the cross, and love the man with the hammer...

Jesus said, two swords was enough between his disciples. When Peter used his sword, Jesus rebuked him and healed the man's ear. True justice rarely happens here on Earth, only God has the power to put things right. Jesus died on the cross, God raised him from the dead. Millions of people are...

I remeber one sermon, the minister said, you can't count up to 490 transgressions, and say, now look out! We should not be counting. Every time we say the Lords prayer, we tell God what to do. You forgive me, in the same way I forgive others
