Oh she had to be so miserable! Poor kid :( One of my nephews, when he was about 3ish had a horrible ear infection. It was so bad he had to be admitted to the hospital. When I went up there to see him, his ear was so bad that it looked like a trumpet growing out the side of his poor little...

"BST" Lol. Just 6:40 P.M. here and I am on EST :D

Well, as for myself, I am on and off allot as, my life has become busier but, I get on every chance I get! I know that tonight I might not be on allot as, I am starting a new study and will be reading some of the Psalms...BUT-I am sure I will be on at some point tonight...I really need to get...

You and I are in the same time zone Mayflower!

We have been wondering where you have been @Mayflower ! Leave it to you to start a thread like this ♥ You must have an awesome gift of encouragement and up lifting :) I am also spoiled with my Kurig...:oops: And, I LOVE coffee...the stronger the better! Cream and sugar, of course, lol. I...

No I have not! But have just read it and will contribute to our coffee clotch! ♥

No 101, we will not at all argue, lol. The way I see it is that, our Counselor IS The Holy Spirit? Either way it should not matter to any who believe in the Trinity and that Jesus IS God ♥ John 14:26-28 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach...

Love that prayer Helen ♥

Hmmm...Good points Helen. I suppose all of these "definitions" of the name Mary, or Miriam, or Maria...could be the characteristics of the three Marys in scripture? I would think that the definition "wished for child" was the mother of Jesus...possibly the bitterness and rebelliousness can be...

I wish humor was a gift of the Spirit, lol...funny (haha) thing is that I still do not know what my "gift" is!

Hi 101, I do understand what you are saying here...that those verses really show that Jesus WAS GOD. But, I also understood what @Pearl meant. There is the Father Son And Holy Spirit involved in those verses, IMHO. ♥

Can I not apply any of the definitions of the same given name over the other defs?? And, since we see nothing described of Mary in the bible that even resemble "bitterness or Rebelliousness" in her character - I am allowed to "prefer" one of those defs over another if I so choose. What's so...

Sure does ♥

Yep, there is such power in that name that un-believers cringe at it. The term "god" is okay tho, because they create their own. :(

I prefer the definition "wished for child" over the others. But, I suppose she could well have had some of those other ... traits? She might be blessed among woman but, she was still in need of a savior, she was not "without sin" IOW. :)

"sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love". Not so big on the "bitterness or Rebelliousness" def tho. Could be the same as the name Miriam or Maria too :)

Hi Mark, Just now came across this post! Anyhow, I do not believe there ever was nor will ever be full unity within the Church until it is all said and done, and that is NOT to say we shouldn't still strive for it. I also believe that a huge reason for such lack of unity in the Church is the...

"Of course. Getting into the Spirit is very hard indeed. And staying there brings new challenges. I have experience of going in and out. So I have walked in His power...and my own. The difference is like night and day. And yet in my own strength I am still led by the Spirit and feel His presence...

Yes, I agree with what you say here ♥. Yet do you never stumble? Ever?

I can't agree with you Epi, sry. "Be perfect as God is perfect." IMHO is saying to be complete in His Love. God is Perfect in ALL His ways, are you?
