Yes and Amen, there WILL be a rewards judgement but what of the scripture verses: " "47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with...

Sounds like there was a blanket already thrown on this un-canonical book and, from that last statement you quoted from the book of Thomas ... for good reason. None of it points to Christ but all of it points to "self". This is just my own take here, and please do not take offence as none intended!

I remember feeling his frustration at times with me during Zoom, lol. Reminds me of: "Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?" John 14:9 Seems Jesus got a bit...

"I know you have to become more alarmed as you see more, until finally, you just…stop worrying about what you can’t change in you and get out of His way by absolute trust." This is probably just where I'm at right now...not worried about anything this life can throw at me, it's the wondering...

Stormy, This is something that has plagued the Admin. and was not an easy decision for them. The infighting within these threads were getting very ugly hence, the possibly TEMPORARY ban on these subjects. If you could have seen the vitriol that was going on here before this new rule, you just...

Well, I am certainly empty of any really meaningful usage. Yes, I can go to the Community Center and serve at soup kitchens or pantry's but, that is not a selfless thing as there was a need to get out of the house and around people after not being able to work any longer, although He DID give...

I can see it too Stunned. We hold tightly to our breast and stomp our feet cause there is simply NO other interpretation what we've already "learned". And yeah, the church's will never change their stance, unless they take a vote and split, and that must be a very heartbreaking ordeal. I've...

Just looked it up!

Agreed BL, good post. I've read before how the word used for worship can change like, "simple obeisance" is used for Kings and dignitaries but for in spiritual matters it changes to pure worship of a divine being.

:Zek:

"where the oil never runs out." We need to have our oil topped off on a regular basis I believe. Salvation is a lifelong process. Daily/cross! Perfect love spoken of in the bible would mean that one is in a constant state of obedience and humility...not sure this makes sense. Since realizing...

Hi Epi, I liken this simply to a Christian being blessed to have His word to clear the way for us. He has given us all things we need to know about what will take place in a Christians life so, if you do not take all of His warnings/promises of a really hard life here on Earth then, nobody can...

Prayers for comfort to this family that has seen it's share of tragedy's. And if it be your will Lord, I pray for a full healing for Keturah's SIL. Thank you for hearing our prayers Father through your son Jesus, our loving savior, Amen.

"Thought I was going to be gone from forum for a bit but I was wrong. :)" Hmm, glad ya didn't! "Is it necessary to question whether the world is in Gods control or satans control? Doesn’t it become a moot point since He works ALL things for good to those who love Him and are called by Him...

I'm sorry Barney but, I simply wanted to know who worships Jesus Christ as Lord, or...not. I'm surely not looking to get into the divinity of Christ, which BTW-is no longer allowed according to the new rules...unfortunately.

No choice!

Smack dab in the hardest hit part of Buffalo Pearl, South Buffalo, minutes from lake Erie...

Hi brother, Sure do understand others not caring what we say, and that we are boring...I've pulled back a lot from people in general and mind my own business anymore as it can really wear one down to be ignored and shunned for no reason you can see. It's the end times and love of MANY will and...

I bet you saw allot. The one specimen I remember over all the others was a jaw that had just been removed from a man. He had cancer. He was also on my rounds allot and I remember him "writing" to quit smoking if I was a smoker...that was scary yet I continued to smoke for years after...

Oh, I always stopped by the Pathology lab whether I had a specimen for them or not, lol. Yes, very interesting and would turn many folks stomachs :eek:. I found it fascinating and a bit scary too as I was a smoker back then.
