When the penitent sinner brought his pet lamb to the door of the sanctuary, he placed his hands on the head of the animal confessing his sins. His sins were transferred to the animal, which was then slain. The sins, through the blood, was then transferred into the sanctuary and that blood...

KJV Hebrews 4:2 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

We pick up our cross and follow Him to Calvary. No need to carry the cross after we are raised. We just need to remember each day to die. Believe that in Him we are indeed dead to sin, but alive unto God. As for struggling with sin. Yes, that's a constant battle. But the battle isn't with...

I see those OT services, sacrifices, rituals etc a little different. In and of themselves they held no value without repentance. Without repentance and the individuals actually responding to God on a personal level, those sacrifices were meaningless. There was no intrinsic righteousness in any...

It's all about the mind. That's where the battle is fought. The lusts of the flesh, and the eyes, and pride of life, are all in the mind. Control the mind... Have the mind of Christ... And the body will follow suit. The death of the 'old man' is the surrender of the will/mind to Christ.

As I said to Lambano, it isn't your righteousness.

We demonstrate that God loves them by loving them ourselves. If we don't judge them, reject them, and allow them to live at their own pace without constantly trying to convert or sanctify them ourselves, they will heal. I guess though God has to heal us first huh.

You know it's never our righteousness right?

Yep, I think I may be looking at his philosophical anecdote a little too subjectively. Forget I said anything. Write it off to the rambling of an old man in his dotage. :rolleyes:

Yes. And there's enormous healing power in that for those around us. Loving others unconditionally may cost us a great deal here in this life, but we win everything in the next. Including maybe many of those we loved.

Edit... Maybe. Government may resort to another avenue to expel after the court freed him from detention.

News just came through that Novak is playing.

LOL, after reading it again, I'm not surprised. Allow me to start again. Quote: It’s like the old saint who said, to know what Gods will is, it’s only necessary to look at your circumstances. I remember when I was first saved/converted, it was at a time when I thought all my circumstances were...

What a wonderful world if we could all be as the above.

When Jesus said, "If you fed them, you fed Me", He didn't say we ought to ensure that we identify their motives beforehand. We do what we conscientiously believe what is right, and leave the rest with God. Love...thinketh no evil...Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things...

Yet I would hazard to say that you did the right thing. Your conscience is clear. Imagine how your memory would be of that day had you denied them a meal and a sleep on your bed?

Those circumstances however are limited to our peace. There was a time a led my family away from God's will. Outwardly, looking at our circumstances one wouldn't know. Inwardly was another matter entirely.

Cheers cuz. I didn't see that video... Nice to hear some kiwi accents. I also hit the link to his wife's presentation on the history of big pharma's fraudulent selling of fake drugs to heal fake diseases.

Remembering that no-one ever lowered themselves into the water of baptism, nor did they raise themselves from the dead. That takes Another.

Failing that he could flagellate himself with some friars.
