Thank You Hugs

1Co 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Jos 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Thank You! HUGS

1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1Jo...

I liked the analogy. It helped me to understand how Gentiles like Ishmael were not forgotten. That even though they were after the "flesh" rather than the "promise" he still kept his promise to Abraham's seed. Both of them. making one. In him. Hugs

Noah built an Ark. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son. Moses was God's right hand man and led the Hebrews to freedom. Lots more.. That takes faith, I figure.. HUGS

The most important factor for me is Jesus showed us God's true characteristics. His caring, His reaching out and wanting to be our Father. In the OT I see most followed because they were afraid not to. Not because they sincerely chose to from the heart. I hear this: Jhn 14:8 Philip saith unto...

One day I was pruning a rose bush. I was quietly contemplating how the old branches needed to be pruned in order for the new branches to be able to have room to flourish. I don't know where the thought came from but it helped me to understand cutting away the old man so the new man could grow...

And yet there are works. There is charity, there is feeding the poor, and helping the infirm or the elderly, being a big brother who has no father. There are those works which the law intended. If we look closely at the law we will find, love your neighbor as yourself. Not because if you don't...

My dad told me about that. I can't get it because they need to text you a code. I don't have a cell phone. The other thing I worry about is being corralled into a certain place. Seems like you have 10, then 8, then 4.. then before you know there is only 1 and if they want to turn the lights...

I am persuaded that throughout Paul's letters he is having a battle with his ego. At times he is humble and he speaks the truth. At other times he becomes proud and boastful and wants to take the reigns and lead. It is the ebb and flow of the tides. He has seasons where the words he speaks are...

I believe we are to strive to overcome the impulse to be "suddenly" angry or on "automatic" judging of others. avoiding lusting or coveting what others have by being thankful for what you have. Check yourself at the door. It's a trainng thing. You have to exercise.. HUGS

Ofcourse.. which just leads me back to Rome.. :rolleyes: Act 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Act 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days...

Act 28:2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the...

Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isa 58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me...

Sorry not you Chris.. Charity, Chris.. HUGS

2Ti 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2Ti 4:3 For the time will...

So let me see if I hear this right.. You don't have a problem with God sending Satan to beat the crap out a righteous man like Job, But you do have a problem with God sending Satan to beat the crap out of a murderer who is killing his people. I understand Heart2Soul.. It don't look good. But it...

I see Baptism as the flood of Noah's day. The world/flesh all living things, plunged under water and flooded and died, thus cleansing the world/flesh from all sin. Risen anew. a new world. a new life.. time to retill the soil and get growing :) in a nutshell. That's how I see it. HUGS

Psalm 116 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I...

If God had not said to Adam, thou shalt not eat, and they ate, would they still have died? Hugs
