Howdy folks "Jesus said to her, "Woman why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Surely one of the oddest, or most perplexing themes in all the...
Nice to hear from you Bill. Good queston. The scripture that comes to mind says in 1Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have...
Rory Good to hear from you again also. How is everyone doing back there, in the Port of New York? I have only been back once for a couple of days to take care...
Hello All, This apparent contradiction comes, in John, towards the end of the gospel to underline, perhaps, that there is an important message here. Just after...

AMEN! One of the ideas in the 4G is the frustration with belief based on "signs and wonders" as being a foundation for faith. I see that as humankind...

I'm sorry, I don't follow you on that one Emory. :-) Were you perhaps responding to a different email message that got mixed up with this one as they sometimes...
Tom: Thanks for your input! I'm not sure that the either/or diconomy of seeing vs.believing captures what John is saying. All the disciples needed to see the...
Hello Hugh and All, Thanks for the word dichotomy which has had me reflect on what I was trying to say. Instead of counterpointing the idea of 'seeing' against...

Hi all, Good to read your messages. But could you please edit out all but the important bits of messages you are replying to. Some of these messages are...
Tom Very insightful thoughts. I agree entirely, except with your being a skeptic if that is what you meant to say, or if I understood you correctly. May I ask...

Bill , Of course I agree that at the cross we meet God. For the first time as well as any time there after, when our fellowship is in need of restoration . The...
Tom, it is a slow journey and one filled with twists and turns. Even attempts to understand what one might call "Christian Theology" is difficult. The...
The fragmented sentence was a reaction to where one might possibly "meet God", nothing more than that. I have been in many places where in His creation, He...
Not exactly a Johannine question but... Do you like to play golf Emory? It seems like a boring game to me but a lot of Pastors seem to like it. :-) Bill...

Thanks for your post David. Would you elaborate on this? For example, do you perhaps have some thoughts about who John was based on the passages you quoted?...
