James

[JellyJam]

I met this older man at a bus terminus one day. He was dressed in a plain white shirt, and light blue pants. A voice in my head said "Talk to this guy"

So I sat down next to him and said hello.

He then asked me, how my day was.

I didn't really want to say good, because that simply was not true.

So I said neither good or bad.

He smiled at me and told me the strangest thing.

Look around you he said, look at these people. All they can think is what's good or evil.

That's their problem he said, that's their war. It's just positives and negatives for them.

Then I asked him what his name was.

He said, James.

Then he stood up because his bus had arrived.

Then just before he left he said one last thing.

In the end, they do it to themselves.

Buried my Uncle yesterday, devout Christian man. Hundreds of people there he touched all their lives in special ways. Many had the same memories as me anytime they’d call him he’d always answer, hello my friend, this includes me

You and these guys must have had truly horrific childhoods?

You and these guys must have had truly horrific childhoods?

Yes I did, but that didn't mean I had the right to be an A hole.

ADDRESSING THE OP,

Acts 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:40 "And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation".

it's up to you.

Hello my friend!

Okay I've got to ask this question again, but in a different way.

You can't keep acting like this, you can't just attack those you should love. This is a biblical fact, that you so strongly defend to convince me Jesus is Lord.

Yet you seem to fail to see your own unkind behaviour.

Most forget the fire.

We’re going to be friends you have no choice in the matter.

Okay... backing away very slowly.

WOH and jellyjam, you have totally undone me, I'm cracking up...I just see in my mind, with that exchange, Glenn Close and Michael Douglas. Oh boy, my stomach.

Laughter is the best medicine, as they say. So make sure when you're praying for the sick people of the world, that God is not laughing at you.

How did we go so quickly from Fatal Attraction to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...?

Even so! This has always been the problem of men!

It all depends what signals you receive.

Say for instance you & your partner had a big breakup. You stayed at home, while your partner went to their parents house.

Of course you are both Christian, but some times you have very different opinions.

You think that this time the relationship is over, but you don't know until you talk to him again.

Early that night you get down on your knees and open a channel (Your heart) to your God. But in all actuality your partner is still on your mind.

Your partner at that time is at a church miles away doing Bible study.

You start crying out to your God, believing God hears what feeling your sending to him.
You tell your God how much you love your partner, and you don't want to lose him.

Then at that exact time at your partners location, a feeling of love hits him hard.
He can't see were the feeling originates from, and since he is sitting in a Church with his Bible turned to John 3:16

His only conclusion is that this feeling he feels is God's love, telling him something about

John 3:16
