[…] the man and woman, husband and wife, that God intends them to be. That’s living the dream. Symbolism of the Church God uses symbolism throughout the entire Bible and maybe this is exactly what God had in mind in making the curse and it’s antidote. We know God doesn’t just do things ad hoc, […]

God is Outside of Time

[…] no ending. While alive, the notion of “time” is foundational. On the other side of the grave, that will not be the case.

Trust in Your Heavenly Father

[…] A reader made the point that the words “You are either good or evil” could be misinterpreted to suggest that humanity has a choice. In fact the Bible is clear that no one is good (Romans 3:10) and, to be free from the penalty of our sin nature, we need to accept Jesus as […]
