We love our lives to achieve eternal peace & love for our lives on earth, as God lays out in the Bible, and shows us by sacrificing Jesus to save us. When a crooked Pro-life politician gets our vote, he gains the power to enrich himself and do more harm to our brothers and sisters. We, having voted for him, harm our chances of satisfying God's Will on earth. So, even though we have, in good faith, tried to improve life on Earth by choosing what we thought was a righteous champion for life, we have instead, empowered a charlatan who is working for himself to gather self engrandement. How does this help us to achieve a more loving world? <br /><br />Let us console ourselves with the fact, that these poor unborn souls go straight into God's loving embrace. Never forget: God, has a plan! Voting, and other worldly distractions are a test for us as Christians. Do not be led astray!<br />Much love,<br />~JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-79134420511897655332017-11-27T15:50:41.090-08:002017-11-27T15:50:41.090-08:00There is something that doesn't match to me......There is something that doesn't match to me...

Loving your neighbor is obedience to Christ, not hate and killing reduction. <br /><br />Being nice as an antidote to hate is like progressives claiming that if we are nice to America hating Muslims, they won't hate us anymore. <br /><br />Having said that, the household of faith is very week in the "love and good works" department. The system is self-ingratiating. Obeying Christ's instructions is not a hate and murder reduction plan, but a bringing glory to Christ plan.

This is a fascinating topic and I find myself wondering if I've been guilty of this and where the line is.<br />For example, I have a difficult time with the idea of accepting neo reformed and fundamentalist ideas as even being Christian at all. It would be easier to worship in a Mormon church because of the level of fear, hatred, nationalism, and legalism embraced by these groups; I see them as diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus. And to be fair I imagine they see me the same way. <br />Does that make me a heretic in your view and where is that line drawn? rmillynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374479340665220469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-62087741691450009952017-11-06T14:29:50.280-08:002017-11-06T14:29:50.280-08:00Please do not call something a hoax if you cannot ...Please do not call something a hoax if you cannot 100% prove that comment to be true.

There was a hue and cry about it, but it happened. Note how many mass shootings (of even more than one person) have happened since then. Note how many people in Australia walk around with a gun on their hip/shoulder in public (police and other law enforcement personnel only)<br />Now tell me that people in Australia don't feel safe because we don't have a loaded gun sitting nest to the bed or in my pocket, or in a hidden holster. Nobody I know subscribes to that theory. As far as I am aware, nobody I know even owns a gun (if they do, I don't know, because they don't flash it around, but keep it safely locked away). <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492333852404775596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-78832948205425402922017-11-06T11:34:33.678-08:002017-11-06T11:34:33.678-08:00...another pearl, linking creature to Creator....another pearl, linking creature to Creator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370491840779043743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-65840081771485047982017-11-05T10:53:12.894-08:002017-11-05T10:53:12.894-08:00This site.

However, if that be the case, for what reason does Jesus respond to His disciples when asked to teach them to pray, "Pray like this, 'Our Father ...'" Why does He use gender in this case? Again in John 5:19 in regard to doing only what He sees His Father doing? When Phillip questions Him about showing them the Father, Jesus responds, "If you see Me, you see the Father." Gender again is used. And then of course Paul reminds us that we have received a spirit of adoption, crying out "Abba! (Daddy!) Father!" Romans 8:15. And of course there are other passages in which reference is made to "Father!" What's your thoughts on this?<br /><br />Blessings<br />Keith McLachlanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357150762771505149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-289676150624805312017-10-23T16:57:18.018-07:002017-10-23T16:57:18.018-07:00Here is another instruction from Paul to separate ...Here is another instruction from Paul to separate from brothers for a specific practice.<br />2 Thes. 3: 6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.<br />The word used here for idleness, can also be translated "unruly". Actually both meanings apply. Paul defines what he means by "idleness" when he says "and not accord with the tradition that you received from us." <br /><br />Are there any specific traditions Paul means by this? Yes, he goes on to explain. <br />7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, <br />8 nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, <br />that we might not be a burden to any of you.<br /><br />Paul is referring to his "example" of always combining marketplace work with spiritual leadership. To Paul, not working in the marketplace was being "idle". This routine of refusing to work in the marketplace place is exactly what hired Bible experts do. They demand a full pay check out of the offering plate. Bible experts use 3 or 4 passages to justify "full time ministry". It just so happens that I have found all these passages to be used in a corrupt manner. They are either or both falsely translated, or falsely assumed upon. These 3 or 4 passages are used to nullify 8 passages just like this one. It doesn't take a Bible expert to see these things, but for some reason few if any care to look. Hired Bible experts are in a conflict of interest to want to look. I've written a free PDF book on this if anyone cares to check my work. I have been shocked at what I have found. <br /><br />Paul repeats his "keep away" instruction. <br />14 If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.<br /><br />Paul's instruction is not division but church discipline. The brothers who make claims to not work are the ones who are divisive because they reject the traditions laid down by the apostle Paul as the framework for church practice. It should be no surprise to us to observe that when hired professionals dominate the church, the church divides into 1000 different incompatible brand names displaying to the world that the people of God are fractured rather than "perfectly one". This tells us that the church will not unite to follow only Christ until professionalized Bible experts are "warned" to be "ashamed", taught, rebuked, corrected, and instructed in righteousness. <br />Am I missing anything? <br /><br />Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869272176391202061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-27115062862075364172017-10-21T21:33:01.917-07:002017-10-21T21:33:01.917-07:00There are no coincidences with God.

God fashioned people way before Jesus was crucified. Laminin preceded the cross. So if anything the cross was fashioned like the structure of Laminin and not Laminin like the cross. This meaning God had an intention and purpose for the shape of the cross that he is only now letting us see. Think about that before calling it a hoax. None of that makes it a magic symbol. It just makes it so, as so is God. Remember that God defies human logic and reasoning because he is not confined to our inability.

I want to add here something also that is very, very important when it comes to our Spirit filled bodies. look at John 14 and v16, Jesus says He will send the 'Comforter' who will be with us forever. and in v23 Jesus says; "If a man loves Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. now then I direct your attention to Luke11, beginning at v17 where it talks about 'a house divided cannot stand' therefore we cannot serve the devil and Jesus at the same time, it indicates that 'when the evil spirit has gone out of a man' he is lost and cannot find a place to live, so he says; 'I will just return to the house I came out of but when that 'unclean' spirit returns he brings with him 'seven other spirits more wicked than himself, they enter in, and dwell there: and the state of that man is worse then the first. what I am getting at here is that the Holy Spirit Whom Jesus sent to live within us is that Laminin that is also in us holding our cells together physically, and God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit Who abides in us because we are 'born-again' will hold our "Spiritual Life" together for eternity. Thank You Lord Jesus for including the Laminin in our bodies for our good health. maybe Jesus did mean for man to discover laminin and see it in the shape of the cross, so that thousands of us might be greatly inspired by it. nowadays hundreds of thousands of us in America are suffering because of our health and the Psalmist in chap. 91, v16 says; With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation." I could continue here with more encouragement but if anyone cares to discuss more I will be happy to do so. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760709029123777649noreply@blogger.com
