Thanks Helen, I found this really uplifting. And, I love how it brings so many thoughts/pictures in my mind! Even though God works in the dark, His "choicest products" are seen in His creation, as is His work in our personal growth. The story kind of reminds me some lyrics to a song I like...

If you would go back in the posts, I did reiterate my original "ideology". "The '99' in Heaven, never needed to be 'saved', having never been lost." Are we not all lost before we become saved? "Also, would you suggest that the majority (the '99') on earth, or even in the congregation of God...

Great, thank you! I think this might help in that same area... God Bless big time! nancy

Well, wow, Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! And, now I will extend the same to you brother, I enjoyed this thread :)

Thank you for sharing your personal testimony. I would love to copy this and send it to one of my brothers, that is, if you don't mind! God bless and press on Christian soldier!! :)

Don't feel like the lone ranger, lol...Satan ALWAYS attacks the mind! :mad:

Lol :)

Hi 2Tim, "If the Sinful Nature has been removed: Colossians 2:9-15 . . . If the Curse has been removed: Galatians 3:13 . . . If True Sheep have been granted the Divine Nature, thus escaping the corruption of the world: . . . 2 Peter 1:4 If our Old Life of sin is gone, and New Life begins: . . ...

Yes M.D., I will pray for you. Being low in spirit means you have only one direction to go...up! Oh gracious Father, hear the pleas of your child M.D. and lift his spirits to soaring! Please bring him gladness and joy so he can carry out your work. Bless him and his beautiful family greatly...

Hi DNB, Yes, after some reading and praying last night, I am back to seeing it this way again. How easy it can be sometimes to get off track. It does make sense that the 99 were the ones that did NOT wander like the one. So therefore of course, they have already repented and stayed with The...

Good morning 2ndTim, I do understand that we are to move on from the elementary teachings like, repentance, baptisms and such. He died one time and it worked...He will never do it again as, it was needed only once yet, still find myself repenting of frustration. And, I wish I were more of a...

Hi APAK! So difficult to be the catalysts during these Covid days. No body is gathering. And of course, all they do want to talk about, or gripe about I should say, is.... politics. Can't think of a more successful way to separate people in general. The hate talk, the constant lies and...

After another read, I do see that it was the one sheep that "wandered". Not sure where I got off track on this but I did. Sorry folks. I suppose it is the "Do not need to repent" that had me re thinking. Thanks Braklit...E :D

Great catch 2ndTim! Good timing with your daily reading, lol. Very apt for this subject :) Things are not always what they might seem. It's clear to me that the 99 He was speaking of were the high and mighty folk who think they have no need of forgiveness and repentance. Kind of like the...

Amen my sister, that is what I miss, the connection with our loved ones and friends. When this all started, there were a couple of people at the Center I go to (non-believers, or in word only) who did start to ask me questions but, the place was loud and crazy busy and once I started to open my...

This is the verse I had wanted to add but, hit send before hand. Mark 2:17 NLT - "When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor--sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." Yes, many examples to...

Okay then, What is meant by those "who do not need to repent"? Are they: -Not supposed to be real people, just illustrations in the text. So they can have the status "do not need to repent"? -People who think they don't have the need to repent? -People who genuinely do not need to repent? To...

Agreed totally with you here Ronald, Several years back I tried to introduce this but, was shot down...as usual, lol. And yes indeed, 1 John 5:8 has absolutely not a thing to do with baptism...baptism is not even mentioned. Verse six is what settled it for me and, it was exciting at the time...

Yep, tissues were in order, the sermon hit home...thanks for sharing!

Listening to the first one now...do I need tissues???
