Oh Helen, what an experience! After watching my father die in suffering increments over a good decade, I just could not understand why he had to suffer for so long. My wonderful, awesomely gentle spirited, peaceful and loving Mom prayed for my fathers salvation for a good 20 or more years. He...

"...The answer would probably be..."you"." Hmmm....not sure what you are saying here! Are you saying that He want's you to give up??!!!!!!!

Every day my friend! Do you not feel your (His) heart being held in His loving, healing hand? That is my prayer and thanks to God daily for you. HE can restore your natural rhythm as nothing is impossible for Him ♥ I thank Him everyday that He is, indeed holding your heart! I'M NOT READY...

It can be somewhat confusing at times, in a small group bible study when it comes time for this or that person to read a verse. Seems everybody has a different version, lol.

"if the translation I'm using seems a little loose." <----Yes, me too! Lol. And, yes it is easier to memorize scripture, scripture verses that come into my thoughts are always in the KJV version.

I agree Helen, hence my "likes" for both. :D

BTW- Sean, wherever you are led to worship the God of the Universe, just don't put your eyes on other Christians as, you will always falter...no matter WHAT they do, how they act, what they say-has NO bearing on your relationship with God. Christians are people too...and many claim Christianity...

Indeed, and that is why I am always looking at other versions and dictionary's and the online Lex. So much can be misunderstood. Of course, prayer before study IMO is a must.

LOL!

HiSean, I think that many Christians wear a cross as a cherished symbol of atonement, forgiveness, grace, and love. And, then you have others who just wear it as a piece of jewelry. When Jesus say's “Take up your cross and follow Me” He means being willing to die in order to follow Jesus. This...

Yes, I think so too. I should get off here now for a short while as I am "an hungered" :D

I can't believe you have gotten snow already, YIKES.. and, this coming from Buffalo Ny! LOL.

The KJV was my first bible, given as a gift. It was well used and almost thoroughly Highlighted, lol. And that, just highlights all the stuff I DIDN'T highlight! Hahaha...Now I have several versions.

Why thank you, you are kind ♥

I hear you on that. I don't think anybody can but, we can show His love and you did IMO.

The "sin problem" left the building almost 2000 years ago ;)

Ah, but you have shown Agape love, which is the kind we are called to. Simply by the giving of your time to even post something encouraging. Kind of like, "And whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his...

"Was it because the poster was pleasant-sounding and agreeable for a change, or because the person who liked it actually agreed with the theology being expressed?" Haha-exactly! Initially, this post was aimed at my own self, by "liking" so many posts-it could possibly be annoying to...

Yes, there are Christians and then there are christians. lol

So funny you say this today Helen, after services myself, my sister and 2 friends were chatting afterwards and talking about how the word Christian really has lost all meaning! So we, at least I, decided that we are simply, "followers of Christ" lol.
