Ok, I'll UL a YT link, but you prolly get commercials then ok,
which i don't do commercials, see, but this is easier than trying to tell you how to go full screen on the other prolly. Tapping the movie once and then tapping that little box lower right don't work?

I just FF through commercials... Thanks....friend for life... lol
Going to watch it now... :)

ezackly not, which is my point. By "ours" you meant "our own," yes?




Ecclesiastes 4:12 Lexicon: And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
which whomever translated that into English for us should be hanged imo lol. Wait'll you interp this puppy! You could look the rest of the day and not find "three" expressed that way i bet. And wth is chut? When you go looking for rope, cord, or line expressed that way anywhere else NT, you are going to get a surprise i guess! Ha! All those Colt tied with "a line," I was let down in a "rope" basket, they aalll just disappear, huh? trippy.

He who has an ear, let him hear
I sure don't have an ear or a desire to get dragged into a 3-way conference. LOL

Well wadr that assumes that we will grow at all, right, i mean no offense but i don't see much agrowin tbh. Sure wish I did. I guess we could test your theory, query some site OGs and see how they may have grown...but we would get their opinion, not quite the same thing i guess. Should be some way to test though...

anyway, if you could just Quote "grow in the Lord" or "learning His Word" we might have a basis to continue here, wadr; i like to proceed from Scripture, sure you do too. Don't need them all of course, just one for each will do for a start i guess.

So, bated breath here, k, this is really the only discussion i am interested in this am, peace
Not sure what 'wadr' is but you keep using it.
Growth has been my experience and the promise of Scripture for those who are born again and abide in His Word.

2 Peter 3:18 (KJV) But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.
John 15:1-6 (KJV) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.


I can't speak for those who aren't born again or ignore His Word.

I know, huh? I was just commenting about that yesterday, how our formula for like "peace of mind" or whatever is ezackly the opposite of the Scriptural formula? Satan appears as an angel of light see? Right? Well maybe not to you, but i am a hypocrite, so i get that in spades lol. So, fwiw, interpreting that rope dealy--the one that turns out to be a thread? "Chut?" Ya, that kinda ends up...um, provides a little remediation, when you get it i guess. Or iow "three" is a maximum for a reason, imo

Now wadr you include yourself in this we, right, but you exclude others, right, based upon what ezackly if i may ask, ty. Can't cut paste now, ok. Bam take this rhetorically if you like ok, no one else ever answers either :)
Have a good day
Sure I include my self in that passage as it is a reality in my life. He took me from a life of hating Him, searching for the 'real' answer in drugs, Eastern religions, the occult, etc. and granted me new life, a new birth, a new heart, new desires, no fear of death etc., for the past 44 years now.
I don't exclude others, millions have had similar born again experiences. Have you?" There...I answered it, so you can no longer say 'no one ever answers it'.

dunno why you wouldn't just highlight/search then, but With All Due Respect, and my apologies. My browser even "say aloud" 's "for what it's worth" when I do a highlight, sayaloud?
Growth has been my experience and the promise of Scripture for those who are born again and abide in His Word.
not saying I disbelieve you ok, but if I testify of Myself, My testimony is invalid

yes, I did those too ok, and they are great, for what they are, a great First Step on the looong path to Nehushtan. Best of luck in your quest ok, sincerely. You are seeking to go up to heaven after you have died, i'm assuming?

Yes, i believe He is manifested as Babe in John B?

Unless there were two other witnesses, which there are. Jesus had other witnesses when he said that.
I really don't care if you believe me, I am not trying to form a cult following. or any following. All I can do is put my 2 cents in for the truthfulness of Scripture along with millions of others.

ignore His Word, narf, as if that were even possible, huh?
Exodus 20:19 "Speak to us yourself and we will listen," they said to Moses. "But do not let God speak to us, or we will die."

and by "born again" what do you mean, ezackly? Surely you have a like a checklist or something, right? "...with the evidence of Speaking in tongues" in there anywhere, bac? Recall what ol' Preach said when you were acomin up outta that little bath? Before the Luby's Celebration, i mean?

My point was I am no longer seeking because Jesus found me in the garbage heap of sin. I have no doubt where I'll go when I die, not because of my goody two shoe life because of His perfect life, and His death for my sins. I already found the Wicket Gate and luck was not part of it.

Se, you got definitions now, right? You got beliefs now. Ony probem is see, they are not really Beliefs at all, wanna me to like prove it with facts and stuff? We call them that, but they are easily revealed for what they are, ioo--which I made that one up like a year ago, been waiting til today to drop it, coming soon to google tho trust me...yup, not there yet:)
so, In Our Opinions, see, even though we might nod our heads @ "beliefs," really they turn out to be stone cold, set in seement, cannot be chipped out even with a jackhammer, Absolute Truths, see. Incontrovertible, Undeniable, Indisputable. And complete crap!
Ha!

I won't be playing your mind games anymore. This will be the last post to you....

(2Co 5:17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

(Eph 2:2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
(Eph 2:3) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
(Eph 2:4) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
(Eph 2:5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

(Joh 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(Joh 3:4) Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
(Joh 3:5) Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
(Joh 3:6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
(Joh 3:7) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Your choice. Seek God in Scripture or lies in man's writings.

Some people haven't figured out Scripture is absolute truth I guess.
Only satan and his minions would say 'Hath God said?".

ah well, that is a big step i guess, into the air even. "Foundation" is...ha, such a sublime contrast! We're s'posed to get a foundation, and then meet Him in the air!
ha.
The Bible is truly a trip lol
If we can understand it much can be found in the three levels of creatures saved in the Ark built by Noah at God's direction. All were saved, but what does that [saved] mean? Two types of beasts [unclean and clean] and then those 8 people on top of the heap? I have seen a lot, or so I thought, but then it really has turned out to be little.

I remember one pastor I had saying in effect, ' "we" probably know 90% of the Bible's truth'. I did not believe it then [more than 25 years ago] and nothing I have seen or learned or been taught or...[?] in the interim has changed my mind. To even put a percentage to it is more than I can do. The glass is still dark and so my vision remains dim. Others who think they have more usually offer little to help clarify. I know the way, I believe, to a clearer vision, but even if I were correct how many would even listen? But... so many want me/you to listen and to "by faith" stand where they stand.

Was any of that untrue iyo?

Bro i appeal to your common sense to consider the possibility that you may have come to a congregation and then via them to the Book the ezackly same way that everyone else who does or ever did that did, and that this mo was anticipated, and that you are totally like being catered to bro, i mean we are being sold a Bill of Goods, ok? Taken for a sweet, sweet ride lol

Can you bac Quote the like numbers of the v that goes "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" which you might notice i dint...well nevermind that can you just Quote it pls, if you can find it that is? Ty

See "cinnamon and sugary,
and softly spoken lies..." ok, you never know just how you look, we are inherently stupid where our "selves" are concerned, right, me too, all of us, evabody, specially Evabody Who Knows ok lol, but only see the guys who got Juiced lol, i mean drunk at 9am see them ones that got Lit, are you hearing me bro evabody else thought they was insane ok, but they knew, even though you would never, ever get one to admit that i bet, and they knew that we would just sliiide right in w/that we, see, we would just find ezackly what we really where in There, bc we found the world see and they had left it

And once that happens bro, yknow, you just have this insight that a logical thinker cannot even admit to accepting as a possibility, and it's not even like we hide it! We call it Literal, or Truth--this person is in dire danger imo--or even believe it or not Word! Which that guy, yikes, what can i even say about that guy. yikes.

I can give you ten examples of people who actually posted on this site that what they had to say was Word.

so, yikes, just Quote that for me if you would pls ty. And sorry
