There's a wideness in God's mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there's a kindness in His justice,
which is more than liberty.
There is welcome for the sinner,
and more graces for the good;
there is mercy with the Saviour;
there is healing in His blood.
There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than in heaven;
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kind judgment given.
There is plentiful redemption
in the blood that has been shed;
there is joy for all the members
in the sorrows of The Head.
For the love of God is broader
than the measure of man's mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more faithful,
we should take Him at His word;
and our life would be thanksgiving
for the goodness of the Lord.
Hello @Debp.
I love the hymn you introduced this thread with, 'There's a Wideness in God's Mercy'. What was your intention in entering it?

Thank you, Chris. I was wondering how a thread dedicated to a hymn celebrating God's grace and mercy degenerated into an ugly political p*ssing match.

Hello again, @Debp,
Looking up the word, 'mercy', in the concordance, the first reference is found in the words of Lot, immediately prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19:19). The second is found in the words of Abraham's servant who had been sent to find a wife for Isaac from among Abraham's own people (Gen. 24:27). In the first, Lot is grateful for his rescue, seeks to modify the instruction for his safety, out of fear of not being able to attain unto it, and in the second, Abraham's servant, having found Rebecca, who would become Isaac's wife, praises God for His mercy, shown to His aging master, in providing this one great need.
The third is in reference to Joseph, and so on: So many opportunities of witnessing the mercy of God in action, in the word of God. Yet it is in the life, death, resurrection and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, where the mercy of God towards us is shown, isn't it? To sinners. condemned. unclean:-
'But God, who is rich in mercy,
for Hs great love wherewith He loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together,
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come He might shew
the exceeding riches of His grace
in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them.'
(Eph 2:4-10)
Praise God!
Thank you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris

I didnt create Salvation. I just teach it and share it.
So, as you dont like it, and you certainly dont...then take it up with God as He created it ...... Complain to Him @quietthinker
You can meet St.Steven there as he also hates the fact that God is not just LOVE< but also a Righteous Judge who is a Holy God.
I've heard it called "dogging" someone. Others do this also, post their pet messages regardless of the thread. I see it as a way to hijack the thread for one's own purposes.
Much love!

Why would anyone who is interested in moral virtue and rule of law, want America to open its borders to those who will illegally cross it.
When Israel has completed the designated period for the visitation of the fathers' iniquities of the first two ages of Israel's existence from the time of the birth of Isaac upon their children and the children's children during the third and fourth generations/ages of Israel's existence, then God will incline His ear towards them and hear their pleas for the restoration of their relationship with Him and He will being to draw them to Himself from where they are living scattered through the whole earth and will plant them in the fertile soil of His prepared field and will teach them on the truth of the foundation stone that comes down out of heaven which will become the largest mountain in all of the earth. As part of this process God has promised a covenant of peace and He will do this by removing all of the evil beasts, i.e. the wicked fallen angels, from the face of the earth when He will judge both the heavenly hosts and the kings of the earth and will gather them together and imprison them in a pit, i.e. the Bottomless Pit for many days, i.e. for 1,000 years, to await the time of their punishment.
In 2 Chron 7:12ff God tells us: -
13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
19 "But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, 20 then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21 "And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, 'Why has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?' 22 Then they will answer, 'Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore, He has brought all this calamity on them.'"
A number of Prophets lament the fact that God has turned His back on Israel for two ages and their desire is that after these two ages, during the third age in these verses, that God will restore them such that they will once more live in His presence.
Until the full-time span of the visitation of the father's iniquities upon their children in the third and the fourth ages of the existence of Israel, is completed, there is nothing more that we can do except pray that God will once turn His eyes towards the nation of Israel, and see them where they have been scattered by Him throughout the whole earth and that He will then begin His process of drawing them back to Himself.
The other prophecy, in Daniel 8, that must run to its completion, is the 2,300 years of the Little Horn using the armies that he has been given to trample God's sanctuary and His earthly hosts. The completion of this prophecy occurs at the same time that as the visitation of the fathers' iniquities ends upon their children after the completion of the fourth age of the nation of Israel's existence, which in my understanding will happen in around 20 years from now.
In Romans 11:25b-26 Paul tells us that "when the fulness with respect to time of the gentiles comes to its completion, that after this all of Israel will be saved' {expressed in my paraphrasing of the Greek text}.
In Rev 16:12-16 we are told that after the events of 9/11 when the three frog like spirits performed signs and wonders that were seen live right around the earth in people homes that the kings of the earth would also be drawn to Assemble at Armageddon for the last effort of the Little Horn to trample both the sanctuary and God's earthly hosts, but what will happen when they have assembled will be the ensuing judgement of them and the heavenly hosts in heaven for their respective parts that they all have played in the Little Horns trampling of God's sanctuary and His earthly hosts over the past 2,300 years.
@complete asked, "
There is nothing that we can do to stop the completion of the Little Horn's trampling of Israel.
The hostages are being used as pawns in the Little Horns plan to begin drawing the Kings of the earth to join him for the last push before his allotted time has come to its completion. The hostages that remain may still be alive, but they are the bait to draw the kings of the earth into the Little Horns plans.
God has already told us how He will bring peace to the region of the land of Canaan and the rest of the earth where Israelites live by removing the evil beasts from the face of the earth for 1,000 years.
Nations have already acted God like by invading Iraq, i.e. the land of Babylon, in 2003 to heal the land of Babylon instead of destroying all of the land of Babylon. Since then, those nations have been overrun by locusts to consume all the goodness of their nations.
Looking for executable solutions to the present Middle East problems will not help us at all or bring peace at this present time.

You wouldn't understand.....because you define moral virtue and rule of law just as the Pharisee's did.

Borders define countries.......not Pharisees.
So, you want America to be filled up Illegally, as that is your idea of "Jesus's love".....and you support Hamas, because you've been duped by their worldwide media driven propaganda.
Well, you're not alone.
Now, Lets hear from the "other side".

That you are defending the "Hamas propaganda", and claiming that its somehow dishonoring the Love of God, to deny Illegals illegal access into the USA...is your own trap you set for yourself. @quietthinker
Listen.
You were whining about the poor....in a previous post........and its the poor who are the most harmed by Illegals in the USA.
The poor need housing, the VETS need housing and when this is going to be given to the Illegals instead... (had Trump not arrived)..is harming the poorest in the USA, as well as the most Heroic who desever the help most of all.
UPDATE : = llegals go to the ER and Hospital and Health care clinics in America and can't pay.. and totally jam up the system......and that slows down the health care for the actual Americans who need the ER that night and the next night, and every day and night.
Thats not RIGHT.
There is NOTHING Good that happens to any Country that allows Illegal immagration to invade it, and just camp out and stay.
That's a great video. Ambassador Huckabee explained the whole war situation so well. Even Piers Morgan was listening intently.
