Don't pray God is on your side, pray you are on God's side.

Wish I could remember where I read that.

Good find...I wouldn't have known it was him. :)

BTW I believe you will find that @Acolyte is a she, not a sir! But I'm sure she did not mind being addressed as sir. :)

Before I put my own photo on here as an avatar I was so many times addressed as "Brother"...so I thought, 'rather than just keep telling them..I'll put a mug shot up!!'

:) It was part of the quote.. giggle

Ruh Roh! I am sorry @Acolyte! I should have checked that out first . Thanks Helen! ♥

Yes--prayer doesn't change God--He never changes. Prayer changes us and brings us more in line with God's will.

I'm a "he."

And I just plainly do not believe that ANY will be totally 'lost'.

I won't argue that point with you, Helen although I do disagree! However, that is where I am and you are where you are. God reads us better than we read ourselves or each other, so I will leave such a judgment in His very capable hands.

Okay, now I understand.

And that is just how I feel when people try to tell me that 99% of people are going to fry in hell for all eternity!!! I think not...that was not His Plan.

Why did God create us and the universe including sin? Answer this and eternal punishment in contrast to heaven will make more sense.

 

[Dave L]

And that is why Calvinism is a cult. It has a different God.

You get the picture. Paul said he obtained mercy because he opposed God ignorantly in unbelief. I hope this is true for you as well.

 

[brakelite]

That is my trouble.
It takes some much time to go down all the ALERTS first...then to check all the threads and new posts. I’m sure I miss some.

But my one big problem is I DONT proof read after I post...I just post and move on.
It is usually when someone quotes me , that I see my many glaring mistakes!!

YES! And I wonder that they understood what I was saying at times LOL>

 

[brakelite]

Yes--if I catch it, I usually go back and edit. Such is the nature of online forums--probably why it is bad form to criticize other posters for "spelling or grammar mistakes". They are mostly just typos and lack of proofreading.

My problem is usually when I use my phone which has a predictive system that throws great wobblies on a regular basis...then at night so as not to disturb my wife, I type quietly on my laptop with all lights off...it isn't flash like an apple which has lights under the keys, so I bend the screen over to light up the keyboard...and of course that means I can't see the screen.
And we all know why proofreading ones own work never works.

 

[brakelite]

Thanks for furnishing an illustration of how it works. I believe many actually hate God who prefer idols instead.

Or perhaps they just hate your idol.

Why did God create us and the universe including sin?

God created sin?????????

 

[marks]

LOL! And I was raised in a family of 16 close relatives who were either teachers or college professors... AND I am married to a Language Arts Major.

That's got to keep you on your toes!

So I'm not the only one??

If I did that, well I wouldn't be responsible for what might happen!

Yes--prayer doesn't change God--He never changes. Prayer changes us and brings us more in line with God's will.

Just the same, "we have not because we ask not . . .", seems there may be things that God is waiting on us for.

Much love!

You get the picture. Paul said he obtained mercy because he opposed God ignorantly in unbelief. I hope this is true for you as well.

Actually, Paul, quite explicitly explained that he often was not ignorant of what was right... in fact he often WANTED to do right, but didn't. And then he sald, in the same passage in Romans 7, that he also violated God's law rather consistantly.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

What is odd about that is, if you wait till the next day, you can see all the errors in your work. At least that is the way it works for me. Good thing you can edit indefinitely. Some sites only let you edit within 15 minutes or so from the original posting.
