"He showed us how to die victoriously without fear." Amen my sistah!! The first thing that I lost when I came to know Him was the fear of physical death. Yeah, I know...so what happens if it's long and lingering suffering kind of death, easy to say when you are not going through the storm. A...

Hi JP, I've always thought it was His humanity crying out like that. God cannot look upon sin "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?"...

I added NOTHING to "scripture". Simply distinguishing the Bible to writings that are NOT included in the canon, and I am pretty sure you already know that Mark. You can say "what I do or do NOT want to "understand" and it changes nothing because YOU do not know a thing about that, zip. Oh...

:D

Good points made, To me, anything extra-biblical is not Holy Scripture-God breathed Word...at the most I would see it as Historical. Which is always helpful in other ways :) Filtering -IMHO, should always be done through scripture, concerning spiritual things/Truth. I'd go coo-coo if I...

I'm with you here all the way Jen!

Hi Epi! "Actually there is nothing "normal" about the life of a Christian." Tru dat me bro! But then, "normal" can be pretty tough to pin down any definition (other than status quo) of "normal". There seems to be more ab-normal than there is normal anymore, lol.

Thank you APAK, you are right and, I do pray for Him to purge me of any and everything that is not of Him. I feel as if it is sin when it's happening so, it is back to asking forgiveness and strength and CONTROL to overcome it. This is just one of those areas that seems to trip me up. ♥

"I find myself asking for forgiveness over and over again." Hi J.P. This is my issue as well. I HATE that there are certain instances that can cause me to be angry, and toss, and break my stuff! Tears, and curses will come out during the episodes. They are much further and few between than...

Great points and verses :)

Ahaha...yes they are too smart for their own good...lol

Yeah, like my own parents at one time thought. Brought up Catholic. Only God knows...

I have the boom box loud and that does not cover the booms. I expected this, lol. She will be fine. God's got her ♥

Not me Mark. I HATE the things. It is already ridiculous with VERY loud "Cherry Bombs" here (in my hood) and it's not even dark out yet. I can only surmise what might be going on in the minds of those with PTSD from the war. I will ask my nephew how he handles it... I have 3 mini schnauzers...

Personally speaking, I do believe it was the sac of water in the womb. Many think this "born of water" means baptism. There is NOTHING about baptism in those verses. Born naturally=natural birth or, entering into this world physically and then the Spiritual Birth through the Spirit of God...

:D

I'm sorry to hear about your nephew :( Such a powerful thing, prayer. I will also pray, now that your nephew remember his "first love".

Hebrews 6:4-8 "For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again...

Yes...we must be careful what we ask of Him, lol.

Farouk, how could someone "fall" from nothing? They HAD to be believers at one time. Paul tells us to CONTINUE the race until the Day of The Lord. (paraphrased) Many grow weary in well doing...
