Still others argue that

follow the dead to the grave; he does not turn his head to look
at the things that usually claim the attention of men; he is not bound to any woman, so as to be charmed by her and desirous of pleasing her.
I grew up in the church all my life but I was
following God's path, I didn't want to let God take control of my life but then
at one point of my life I was
going through a lot, stuff that a teenager shouldn't be

have a purpose in life.
When God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, it was not just to see if Abraham was faithful enough to
follow his commandment, it was also symbolic of the sacrifice God himself
would make in sacrifice his beloved and begotten son, but unlike Abraham who was spared
at the last moment from carrying through with the sacrifice of his son, God the father actually carried through with the sacrifice and although it wasn't permanent it still did not mean that there was no anguish, it doesn't matter how brief it was, if it was enough for divine and eternal beings to
have to
go through such heartache, all of which for our lowly sakes, in my view that is quite significant and I believe that such suffering is actually beyond mine or anyone else's comprehension.
I thought straight away this is a joke as scriptures tell us only the father knows the time of his sons return and hes keeping it to himself he hasnt even told his son yet.Mark 13:32 This a mystery isnt God all knowing and isnt Jesus God it is a mystery.Yet I like that that is the case because it proves that the father is not the son and the son is not the father they are separate yet they are one just like the holy spirit.I
have come across denominations that believe the father son and holy spirit are the one person i asked them how they can say that when Jesus was baptized we see 3 separate persons.We
have enough information to know that we are in the last days the signs are present and increasing.Ever since Israel became a nation the countdown
has begun.The verse the enemy will come like a thief in the night i
have heard preached many times and i believe the preachers
have got it wrong because they preach it from the view for the church to get there act together or you will miss out.This view is incorrect because if you are a born again believer
following him in obedience and relying on the holy spirit you are not walking in darkness but are walking in the light so you will not be caught unaware as those who are sleeping this is a warning for those who are sleeping or walking according to the flesh they are in darkness.Remember the 10 wise virgins the ones who were alert and keep refilling there lamps
went in with the bride those who slept were left behind and so it will be when the Lord returns.Now is the time to prepare our hearts and lives to be ready for his return.It is an exciting time to be living and we are to live in the expectation that the Lord could return

Clive, you point out how others often don't understand what Jesus was saying; but while Jesus often labors to try and make things clear to the unbeliever («Oh, you of little faith) or

He does, however, say that Mary of Magdala, Joanna, Mary the mother of Jesus, and others were the first to arrive

went home to prepare spices and ointments for embalming, and brought them on Easter morning.
You seem to
have highlighted particular sins as though some are worse than others all sin leads to death not just the big ones because we all are sinners.All
have gone astray none are righteous.I believe the worst sin is pride idolatry is the first commandment we set ourselves as Gods.Regardless of what the sin is, our hearts are condemned by our pride.It wasnt the sin of homosexuality or sexual deviance that destroyed sodom.It was there pride and it is one of our biggest stumbling blocks in our christian walk or it certainly was for me.We look
at the story of the adulterous woman and we think adultery is a terrible crime but the story is for our benefit to show that we all are sinners that Jesus does nt condemn us but came to save us.And when Jesus says
go and sin no more he was not only talking to the woman but everyone else that was around judging her for her sin its a universal message that we all need to see that we all are condemned because of our sin that Jesus came to save us and that we turn from our sin and
follow him.Because he is the way the truth and the life.brentnz
The author teaches
at St. Vladimir's Seminary in Crestwood, New York, and here provides from an emphatically Orthodox perspective an exploration into the ways that the Cross of Christ was and is the hermeneutical key to understanding all that
went before and

The story opened in a swank Protestant church where
at the conclusion of the service a poor, unemployed, shabby young man got up and told his story of unemployment to the startled parishioners and ended by saying: «You can't all
go out hunting up jobs for people like me, but what I am puzzled about when I see so many Christians living in luxury and singing, «Jesus, I my cross
have taken, all to leave, and
follow Thee,» is what is meant by
following Jesus?
It
goes without saying that when we read that God speaks, it does not mean

i am undergoing such a change in the way i think about God and religion and reading some of your articles
has been very refreshing — right now i am part of a very fundamental church and i need to get out - i am tired of the judgement and looking
at people as «saved» and «unsaved» (we recently
had a church event where if you brought an «unsaved» friend they got to rollerskate for free - i wanted to vomit)- i just want to
follow Jesus - do nt know where to
go but i do want to stay part of a church (for the sake of my children)- i saw somewhere on your blog that you too are in the hudson valley — are there any churches you can recommend that fall in line with your way of thinking?
I still kept a round of duties, and
would not suffer myself to run into any open vices, and so got along very well in time of health and prosperity, but when I was distressed or threatened by sickness, death, or heavy storms of thunder, my religion
would not do, and I found there was something wanting, and
would begin to repent my
going so much to frolics, but when the distress was over, the devil and my own wicked heart, with the solicitations of my associates, and my fondness for young company, were such strong allurements, I
would again give way, and thus I got to be very wild and rude,
at the same time kept up my rounds of secret prayer and reading; but God, not willing I should destroy myself, still
followed me with his calls, and moved with such power upon my conscience, that I could not satisfy myself with my diversions, and in the midst of my mirth sometimes
would have such a sense of my lost and undone condition, that I
would wish myself from the company, and after it was over, when I
went home,
would make many promises that I
would attend no more on these frolics, and
would beg forgiveness for hours and hours; but when I came to
have the temptation again, I
would give way: no sooner
would I hear the music and drink a glass of wine, but I
would find my mind elevated and soon proceed to any sort of merriment or diversion, that I thought was not debauched or openly vicious; but when I returned from my carnal mirth I felt as guilty as ever, and could sometimes not close my eyes for some hours after I
had gone to my bed.
Janet i think what you
have said is quite insightful and you are right and there is another meaning to
Go and sin no more and that speaks to me of repentence making a decision to
Follow Christ the one who saves.The words
Go and sin no more is referring to a continual ongoinging process of living for Christ rather than dying in our sins daily there is no comparison.I thought that was awesome pointing the law back to all of us for we all
have sinned and the judgement is death but Jesus came that we might
have life in its fullness.Many people only see the adulterer when she portrays who we are as sinners that he came to save all of us sin is sin and the punishment is death so again you are quite right people use the scriptures to judge and that was never Jesus intention.I hope that helps when someone uses that scripture incorrectly and you can you use it like Jesus did to point it back
at those who judge i hope that helps.brentnz
Jeremy
have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he sin the answer was neither but so that God
would be glorified.What was the sin that may
have been worse for him.The two situations are related of the woman caught in adultery the key words being
go and sin no more only two references in the bible and will explain later the lame man we see
at first his dependency on everyone else for his needs he cant do it he is in the best position to receive Gods grace but what does he do with it.Does he
follow Jesus no we are told he
goes to the temple and Jesus finds him now that he
has his strength to do things on his own what his response to
follow the way of the pharisees that is what is worse than his condition before so he is warned by
go and sin no more.We get confused because we see the word sin but the giver of is speaking to him to
go another way means death.Getting back to the two situations of the woman caught in adultery and the lame man here we see a picture of our hearts on the one our love for sin and on the other the desire to work out our salvation on our terms they are the two areas we
have to submit to God.My experience was the self righteousness was the harder to deal with because it is linked in to our feelings of self worth and self confidence so we
have to be broken so we are humble enough to realise that without God we can do nothing our flesh hates that so it is a struggle
at first to change our way of thinking.brentnz
We are
at the era of Charlatanism, Quackery & Delusion... Pure Religions are a good thing but Religious one's might be misguided to astray beyond the truth by swindlers into becoming as dark as it reflects; - Say, «O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not
follow the inclinations of a people who
had gone astray before and misled many and
have strayed from the soundness of the way.»
Although the presenters indicated that they

Paul blessings as i shared with Christine it is a personal relationship with Jesus when Jesus called his disciples he said

have people i care about they are family to me brothers and sisters in the Lord and i can
go there and feel
at home we sing and worship the Lord and hear the word together its awesome.I used to feel that i did nt fit in now i can fit in anywhere because where we

Yes Gary; Jesus is in you as your savour as He is the savour of the world: In Adam all die even so in Christ is All made alive: But I
have seen in the past couple days your words and they are not my Lords
at all: Christ is not divided or Bi-Polar: He does not cuss like a sailor one day and then minister to the masses the next: No; Christ is consistent, He is Grounded in His word; those that waver are not stable in anything, even as is written: I truly know now the you truly do
have a mocking spirit in you, because again Christ is not Bi-polar:
Go re-read you other post and see if they are the words of my Lord, then ask if anyone will be willing to
follow you even as you are of Christ: The false Christ comes up along side of the truth Christ to pervert everything that is of God: That is how all these sects are again formed, many started of in the truth, but
went out from the Word of our Lord even through Paul now to become their own god: You are now an example of what I speak: Thank - you Gary; In Jesus Name Alexandria:

He believed that William James's «momentous error»
had been to justify the exercise of religious belief on the basis of a few extraordinary individuals (who in any case were merely justifying religious believing, not the beliefs themselves), and he understood clearly that those who

going to lose any grip on religion
at all.

In my comment a couple of days ago I
went through a thought experiment concerning the third possibility above and arrived
at the
following — if existence just is, then it was not created (either from God or out of nothingness) and therefore it
has always been here (remember I'm talking about all of existence, not a conceivably lesser object like the universe).
Here is my evil plan — Create a fictional character,
have him born into poverty in a part of the world full of strife with no recorded history, cast some doubts on his conception (that will keep them guessing), leave a decade or so gap in his life story, re-introduce him in the middle of nowhere and tell everyone he
has all these amazing powers, he confounds and confuses all his followers and tells them not to tell anyone about what he does or where he is
going and Oh yeah, they are all prostiitutes and tax cheats and lepers and the really lowlifes of society, deny them the chance to
follow him, set him
at odds with both the government and the church powers of his time, cast doubts on his seexuality and intelligence, make it so he refuses anyone to come to his aid and kill him in the most horrible way imaginable, then hide his body, make it so nothing he does can be historically proven.

go ahead with the four forks rating), but
would give this four + forks, easily, with a few, simple tweaks: Add more harissa to the soup base (I
