Out
of all the postings on this site today, I found «Derp's «post the most fascinating and informative, as well as deeply revealing.Even after boasting
of what seems to be a practically perfect live by any measure, he informs us that he
takes pleasure in mocking and ridiculing those
of faith who are presumably his opposite; I can
only wonder if, given all his supposed accomplishments, he is smart enough to realize how deeply revealing
of his true character his remarks are.As a believer, I rarely engage in arguments with my atheist friends, and like to think I wouldn't lower myself to the level
of juvenile name - calling and personal attacks against whatever my atheist friends
hold dear.Most

hold forth with misinformation or ignorance on their assumed «knowledge «
of my faith, I try to gently correct them; I certainly don't allow any disagreements we have to devolve into hateful insults and name - calling.

like the pagan I worship a God who can be touched; and I do indeed touch him — this God — over the whole surface and in the depths
of that world

of them and a continuing detachment from them; like the quietist I allow myself with delight to be cradled in the divine fantasy: but at the same time I know that the divine will, will
only be revealed to me at each moment if I exert myself to the utmost: I shall
only touch God in the world
of matter, when, like Jacob, I have been vanquished by him.
If stripped
of all technical connotations, we can
take the term «prehension» to mean simply «

held together.»
But, on the other hand, it is quite unjustified for theists to
hold that we must tolerate or swallow the paradoxes or explain them away (by feats
of ingenuity so subtle, and verbal methods so remote from intuitive insight or definite logical structures, that

taking place), giving as justification the claim that the alternative position

of Christ and the Incarnation as the fullest measure

only one thing: that despite the lip - service being paid by the diocese to the teaching that «non-celibate gay people should not be given Communion», the diocese

Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is
taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas
of weakness that we struggle in so do nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did nt i would would be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart not
only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The
only reason to tell you this is not to boast because
of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are
holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz
