love each and every one

God's is no real solution to the universal problem
of interpretive authority — a problem from which not even the
Roman Catholic Church is exempt.

According to the New Testament, this experience

Romans 14:17) it is the best gift which the Father can bestow on his children; (Luke 11:13; John 14:26) it is the secret alike
of moral renewal (Titus 3:5) and
of practical guidance; (Acts 13:2) it furnishes the interior standards

This is to davidnfran hay David you might have brought this up in a previous post I haven't read, but i did read quit a bit about your previous comments and replies at the beginning
of this blog, so I was just wondering in light
of what hebrews 6 and 10 say how would you enterprite passages like
romans 8 verses 28 thrue 39 what point could paul have been trying to make in saying thoughs amazing things in
romans chapter 8 verses 28 thrue 39 in light
of hebrews 6 and 10, Pauls says that
god foreknew and also predestined thoughs whom he called to be conformed to the image
of his son so that he would be the first born among many brothers and then he goes on saying that neither death nor life nor angels nor rulers nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor hight nor death can ever separate us from the
love of god in christ jesus so how would i inturprate that in light
of that warning in hebrews 6 and 10,

love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.»

There are places where he resorts to the imagery
of myth and speaks
of Christ as if he were living an unseen life with
God in a heavenly realm above, from which he would descend to appear on the earth at the imminent end - time.38 At other times Paul could speak
of the church as the body
of Christ,
of which the Christian believers formed «the limbs and organs».39 He exhorted the Galatians to «put on Christ as a garment», 40 he said to the
Romans, «Let Christ Jesus himself be the armor that you wear», 41 and he told the Galatians how he was in travail until they «took the shape
of Christ».42 In various ways Paul spoke
of the risen Christ as an indwelling presence in the believer, the most moving passage being his own testimony, I have been crucified with Christ; the life I now live is not my life, but the life which Christ lives in me; and my present bodily life is lived by faith in the Son
of God who
loved me and gave himself up for me.»
The eyewitnesses
of the Resurrection
of Jesus — those who ate, drank, spoke with, and listened to the Lord Jesus Christ after His Resurrection — were so convinced
of the Good News
of God's
Love, Forgiveness, Peace, and Healing Power for all humanity revealed by the Risen Jesus Christ that these eyewitnesses were willing to die as martyrs for their belief in the Risen Christ as fully
God and fully man when it was illegal to do so under
Roman authority (where Cesar was considered a deity in the state cult religion).
Romans 8:28 28 And we know that in all things

love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I'm absolutely convinced that nothing — nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable — absolutely nothing can get between us and
God's
love because
of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us (
Romans 8:39 MSG)
(
Romans 8:28) The
love of God is by no means glamorous, for, as Rodrigues demonstrates,
God even
loves those who betray Him and defile His image.
We know that in all things
God works for the good
of those who
love Him, and that if we persevere in that

Romans 8:28 - 39).
Here we find fear
of a bodiless condition associated with firm confidence that even in this intermediate, transient condition no separation from Christ supervenes (among the powers which can not separate us from the
love of God in Christ is death —
Romans 8:38).

God works for the good
of those who
love him, who have been called according to his purpose.»
For in one sense
God is «intervening» constantly — if by that we mean that
God is perpetually sustaining us,
loving us into existence, pouring
God» s self into every secret crack and joint
of the created process, and inviting the human will, in the lure
of the Spirit, into an ever - deepening engagement with the implications
of the Incarnation, its «groanings» (
Romans 8), for the sake
of redemption.
Let's remember that the common thread running through Matthew 18, 1 Peter 4, and
Romans 13 in the life
of the believer and church is something most fundamental
of all:
love from
God, for
God, and for His image in humankind (Deuteronomy 5:1 - 21; Matthew 5 - 7; 1 Corinthians 13; and Colossians 2:6 - 19).
Africanus foretells the younger Scipio's career, as a general and a statesman and, ultimately, reformer
of the
Roman constitution, and then assures his grandson that
God loves the laws that bind human beings together in cities, and that in heaven there is a sure abode

The end - product
of prayer is conformity with
God's purposes, joy in his fellowship, newness
of life with him and with our brethren, and the recognition that (in Paul's words from
Romans) «
God works towards a good end, and in every respect, for those who
love him.»
The
Roman Catholics wont allow me take Mass in their Church I do not care, I still go periodically and sill

God Loves it.

love of God in Christ is already so tremendous an experience that he is sure «neither death, nor life» can separate him from it (

of Romans 8:28).
«And we know that in all things
God works for the good

love him» (
Romans 8:28).
And doesn't
Romans 8 declare that NOTHING... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... can separate us from the
love of God?
God is Uncategorized Bible & Theology Topics: accountability group, Discipleship, flesh, law,
love of God,
Romans 8, sin, victory over sin
We know that
God is using everything that happens on Earth for the Good
of those who
love Him:
Romans 8:28 says, «And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.»
I think the Apostle Paul said it best in
Romans 8:38 - 39: «For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.»
«In this manner I shall guarantee that faith is kept with me, and this on account
of Rome, which devours its inhabitants, never having kept faith nor keeping it now, where the most sacred fathers kill their beloved sons for the
love of God, and brothers destroy brothers in obedience to Christ, as is the
Roman custom and style.»
Further, a fuzzy definition
of Romanticism itself is employed throughout the book — in the very chapter with the subtitle, «Franciscan Romanticism» (somewhat oddly slight and situated near the end
of the book), a promising opening discussing the origins
of medieval «
roman ‑ tic» literature collapses into a watery (modern) use
of the word relative to Francis» and Clare's «youthful mutual attraction [that] grew into a shared understanding
of God's
love for them» (p. 151).
I feel optimistic because
of Romans 8:28: «in everything
God is working for the good
of those who
love him, who are the called according to his purposes.»
It is the hope - giving promise
of Romans 8:32, that neither life nor death can separate the believer from the
love of God in Christ Jesus.
«Nothing in all creation can separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord» (
Romans 8:39) St Paul
Responsive parenting is truly a picture
of God's sacrificial, unconditional
love in that, as we respond to our children where they are, («This is how
God showed His great
love for us, that Christ died for us while we were still sinners [emphasis added]»
Romans 5:8) comforting their cries, guiding their choices, providing for their needs, encouraging their individuality, we are, moment by moment, day by day, sacrificing our lives for them.

Romans 8:39 «neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.»

God being confronted by a kid who plays Devil reminds me
