    Stone carver,sculpture, artist, I enjoy also computer programming webdesign, forum mangagement, and participation,..Then of course God, Someone recently made the comment " Well you can do what you want", this was in relation to a decision I was trying to make, my response was, "NO, I can't do what I want, I have to do what God want, that is all I can do." That pretty much sums it up for me. My forums and websites, show a lot about me, it dose seem to be something God,allows me to do,..so feel free to visit them,and I welcome any comments, suggestions,questions, I enjoy communicating with real people. I do not call myself a "Christian". I others call me that, I don't mind. But I do know that Jesus Christ died for me,and am willing to do the same for Him He is my Lord,...don't know if that makes me a "christian" or not. I am that I am, I am a artist,stone carver and human.

  1. Normally I do not get invloved in politcs, Jesus is my Lord, and I try to serve Him as best I can, and ONLY HIM, and GOD, so I have never voted in my entire life, but now I have learned we can "write" in the candidate of our choice, we do not have to serve these men,politicians, it is our choice, Who do you serve ,? Who is your lord ? I found this ,some people may find it interesting, probabley this post will get banned, but anyway I decided to try, GOD knows who I serve, and vote for, so I don't need to worry,..anyway here is this interesting link ,where I learned I can write in the name of My Lord, Jesus, the only one that I will serve,.. http://www.votingforjesus.com/ I agree 100%, all though there is some stuff I don't know for sure if it is completely true. But I do agree, If JESUS truly is our LORD, (HE is mine, but I don't know about you)then we need to serve and promote HIM, our actions speak for there selves. Who do you serve, men, that are nothing but politicians, like Romney or Obama, and the others, or JESUS and GOD, ? from Garry
  2. Well I don't know, I do know, when someone is screaming and shouting, stamping they're feet, some times even falling on the floor and rolling around, it appears to be a "rage", to me, like a 2 year old throwing a temper tamptran, How ever, if you have other interpretations, that is what this thread is about,..But I stick with mine, when I see someone "rageing" , I walk away, peacfully, and pray for them.
  3. Here is Psalm 5, All though I have certain Psalms, that are my "favorites" I really love the entire book, and never tire of reading them. Be strong, in the LORD, and God bless you all
  4. These are my first replies or posts, that I had put in the "discussion", My posts This is my first time looking at the bible studies, the book of Psalms is probably one of my favorite books, Isaiah,and Proverbs also. Just the other night, after a very long time not reading the Bible, I had starting going thru Psalms, on my own, Anyway, hoping to see more, IE: Psalm 2,3, and so on, I think taking them one by one would be nice. Thank you for taking the time to do this, To start I am using BibleTime 2.5 BibleTime is an easy to use but powerful Bible study tool. We are looking for developers and translators. If you would like to join our team, please send an email to info@bibletime.info. ©1999-2009, The BibleTime Team http://www.bibletime.info For Linux, it is based on the King James version of the bible, there are also many "Bible" programs for windows I am sure every one knows. This is Psalm 2: So many times, when I have visited a church, especially "evangilical",or some "cult", and the preacher or pastour himself, gets into a "rage" jumping up and down, carrying on,screaming, stamping his feet, etc. It makes me want to ask them if they have ever read this, ... Any way, the true WORD of God, reveals the truth, to me, so I usually just remain silent, and polite. But don't return to that "church", if it is led by someone that "rages", to me that is a sign of being "heathen". God speaks to me in a peaceful,quite ,still voice, This was on PSALM 3, Here is Psalm 3: Not a very long one, I don't have any comments, but perhaps someone else will ? I do think, that one should also read in I Samuel 17:12 all they can about David, and some of the events that take place, referred to in Psalms. from Garry The earliest mention of David I find is in: This is all very interesting, to me , I hope others find it "enlightening" or interesting. ----- So we see from the previous, when the spirit of the Lord, comes upon David,..what follows is of interest. If one reads this carefully, and to me this explains, indeed, to this day, The Songs, and music of David, have the same affect, not just on Saul, but me too, and I believe any one else, that takes the time to read ,"listen" to these "songs" (PSALMS) ------------ Another interesting thing, This implies, that the "evil spirit" also came from God, yes indeed, God is the creator of ALL things, both Good and evil,..HOLY HOLY HOLY, is Our LORD,... So for now, that is all I have, being that it is Sunday, now, I am just going to continue reading the Bible, and resting, Monday, tomorow, I go back to work. Glory be to GOD! -------------- I had included a little about David ,starting back with SAMUEL, that would be a different topic though, some of the history. from Garry
  5. Recently I read this study, on Psalm 1, and Pslam 150, Started by, ayin jade and Since my interests,and desire to learn is not limited to just 1 psalm, I had been hoping to go on to other psalms, and discuss the entire Book of Psalms, how ever some people do not like that idea, any way, it was suggested to start the topic here, so I have done so,. To see where this started, follow the above links. Hopefully please keep comments and questions ,related to the current Psalm, I hope we can go onto a new Psalm, or 2 or 3 ,each week, A important thing about Psalms, is they all , allways have the effect of, lifting me up, when I am down, afraid or discouraged, (like right now), Reading PSALMS always lifts my spirit up, gives me hope,courage, and faith. from Garry
  6. Attn: SAGE, please don't take it wrong, I too am a artist, and do understand much of what you try to say, I do not even know what "New Age" is, so I can not say it is good or bad, But this is from the Bible, And Lucifer, is one angel, the worst, PLEASE, don't get mislead into following it. From what I understand, so many did, including Adam and Eve, As artists, we often can sense, a closeness to GOD, that others may not understand, our desire, to create, is part of GOD, however, we need to always, keep in our hearts, and minds, GOD is the "MASTER",..we can not, and should never even consider, trying to go "above",.. ahh, but if we seek a more humble place, at HIS feet, perhaps as a "foot stool" Many people here may get "angry", but I have found many Catholic priests, to be of great wisdom and help, like any other church, there are many shortcomings within the catholic church, and that would be another topic. And contrary to what many say, in every mass, at least at the churches I visited, the priest, starts and closes with " In the name of the Father,SON,and HOLY SPIRIT, ", However, again, this thread is not intended to start a controversy about the which churches are correct. If anyone wants to start a topic on that, they should,maybe there is one. The art work, that has been preserved and collected by the Catholic Church, is painted, and done by many artists, and many under "devine inspiration". I am not sure what a "sage" is, ?? perhaps another topic,..I always thought a sage was just a plant, a bush, perhaps it was a sage that was "burning" when GOD, spoke to Moses. So sticking with angels, and this dose not mean "worshipping" them, They are mentioned from time to time in the Bible, both good angels and bad ones, GOD created all of them. This one mentioned in Jude 1:1 , Michael the archangel, I can relate to because at one point in my life, or Was it just a dream ?, any way, it was me, that the angel , Michael, was disputing about, and so I learned ,later, I too can always do this my self, "THE LORD, rebuke thee, get away from here,""..and the devil or demon, what ever, must obey. for now that is all from me. Just want to say, though Sage, don't let some of the others discourage you, I appreciated your posts and comments,..and hope to see more. thanks from Garry Actually it dose not say, it was a angel,it says it is a man, Interesting "dream",.. so this is where the angels are mentioned. And Jacob, being true to GOD, continues worshipping GOD,.. Which is how we should be too, no matter what we "see" in our dreams, we need to be sure, our faith,and our "worship" is in and for GOD. from Garry
  7. Another interesting thing, This implies, that the "evil spirit" also came from God, yes indeed, God is the creator of ALL things, both Good and evil,..HOLY HOLY HOLY, is Our LORD,... So for now, that is all I have, being that it is Sunday, now, I am just going to continue reading the Bible, and resting, Monday, tomorow, I go back to work. Glory be to GOD!
  8. So we see from the previous, when the spirit of the Lord, comes upon David,..what follows is of interest. If one reads this carefully, and to me this explains, indeed, to this day, The Songs, and music of David, have the same affect, not just on Saul, but me too, and I believe any one else, that takes the time to read ,"listen" to these "songs" (PSALMS)
  9. Here is Psalm 3: Not a very long one, I don't have any comments, but perhaps someone else will ? I do think, that one should also read in I Samuel 17:12 all they can about David, and some of the events that take place, referred to in Psalms. from Garry Edited: I was going to start a new topic, being that this is on Psalms, but we can not. So any way, since most,if not all the Psalms are written by David,or one of his "musicians", some of this history is relevant. The earliest mention of David I find is in: This is all very interesting, to me , I hope others find it "enlightening" or interesting.
  10. Based on this, then,someone living in Islam, is islamic, ? let me ask, Do you honestly think, just because someone has the misfortune, of being born in Islam, and islamic, they should be killed ?, that they can not be saved, if so, join the army, hurry on over there, and kill them all,..This is what any good warmonger would do. The same, over there, they get brainwashed, mis informed, lied to and decieved, so the the warmonger rush over here, and try to kill as many people as they can. Those that will be saved, are those that follow God, the God, of Moses,Abraham,Jacob, David, the Father,of Jesus Christ, My GOD, why can't people see that, ? It has nothing to do with if you claim to "this or that" religion, nor what ever political government you have the misfortune of living under. If this nation, was truely, a nation ruled by God, wouldn't we nominate and vote for, Jesus,, as our president, our LORD, and let Him take care of it,..? That will never happen,but when Jesus dose come, He will take, those that he knows,and loves, it will not matter, what country,political government, president,king,or dictator,they live under,nor what religion they claim to be. Hah, even the devil, believes in Jesus, and knows Jesus, ... The enemy is not islam, the enemy is SATAN, also known as LUCIFER, or the "devil",..
  11. Well actually I have never given it much thought. I am not the one to judge if anyone is "saved", this is for God, He will Judge, The same applies to anyone one that willing goes out and kills, The Bible, and the 10 commandments clearly, state, "Thou shalt not kill", there is nothing that says, it is ok if they are islamic, or it is ok if they offend you, or even that it is ok in self defense,...I do believe in GOD's wisdom ,He will judge right and true,... My point is, history ,and even current times, are full of cases, where some horrible "killing" and other terrible ,unspeakable things are being done. By men and women, some claim to be islamic, others claim to be christians,others claim to be many other things, all of them justify they're selves, with some kind of bizarr logic. just calling ones self a "christian", dose not mean they are saved either. or just because they say the are islamic, dose not mean they are not going to be saved,.., When a man, or women, eagerly runs, to take part in a war, where they know, they not only might be killed, but they will also end up having to kill someone, these are "warmongers", the poor souls that are "victims", are those that are forced to go, by political leaders, by laws of the land, where ever one happens to have the misfortune to live,..they go, but unwillingly, the bible says, "Obey the law of the land,.." What do we do, when those laws are contrary to Gods word, and most of the man made laws are,..Sorry, but, I am not the one to judge anybody,..I don't care what they are called or claim to be. I choose to let GOD be the judge. as for me, if someone trys to kill me, no big deal, they will have to "live" with what they do, I will be with MY GOD, and happy, and still living, too,..IF I have some accident, and some how, kill someone, like they step out in front of my car ( I don't really even have a car, just a example),..I am confident in the mercy, and also JESUS, that He knows it was a accident, however, I will still have to live all my life, with some bad feeling of guilt " Maybe I should have been going slower,more careful,..",.. There is only 1 GOD, and HE will reveal Himself, to everyone, including islamics,..each and every one of us, human beings, will be judged, ...I just pray that , those that have been mislead , open they're eyes in time, to see, and are able to know Jesus, because if they don't, it will be the end for them. I could say I don't think anyone that dose not follow the true GOD, will have a easy time of it, if they are following anything else, they are going to follow it right down into the "pit", and burn, ...but again, I stress, no, I am not the one to judge, nor say who will be saved or who won't. Good question though,.. thanks from Garry In the end, when every one knows, they, will have a choice, follow and worship the beast, or follow God, and be killed, but the truth is, the ones that follow GOD will live, the ones that choose to follow the beast,and recieve it's mark, will also have a place,and ultimatley be destroy. The bible is very clear on this, in many verses, I am not going to go, thru looking right now, to qoute them all I think most here know,how to find those verses. To be honest, I have never seen, where it says, specificly, islamics, will be saved, or not, I do know ,many that think they are saved, will perish. God has tried so hard, in so many ways, including with His Son Jesus, and His Word, yet so many people,just can not seem to understand nor comprehend,..this is what makes me sad, and cry at times. But God always is there to wipe the tears away, and eventually it all is over, like a real long night mare. And everything is OK, the things that were, can not be any more, and won't be, the things that GOD wants and always has wanted,, and always had, always will be, His Judgment will be right and true.
  12. Yes to both questions. You may find the following book of interest. It if from a person up here in Maine, Dr. Robert Genevicz, it's title is Guardians In The Dark. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/robert-genevicz/1a/86b/a74 Thank you on this, but I do not trust LinkedIn , and it says you have to join that, to read it,..is there any other way ?,...The thing is a had a lot of trouble with linkedin spam, coming to my e-mail, I do not want to give them my new e-mail address. But thank you, I can look on "google" too. Also, I am not saying any angels actually visited me, I don't think so, occasionally, like I say, in a dream, usually, like when I read about them in the bible, so as far as I am concerned they are just part of the dream, just as they are part, of the stories in the Bible. I do not watch T.V. for the very same reason, it can cause my dreams to get really ugly, and then I don't sleep well. ..there isn't anything good on T.V. anyway, that I know of. Thanks, from Garry
  13. Well , I never said anything about, worshiping them, never even thought of that. How could anyone think such a thing ? It is beyond me, unless when one came, the person that it visted, thinks it is God, but then the angel would say "Don't bow down to me, I also am a servant of God",... of course if it was Lucifer,or another of the "rebels" it would probabley lie, and let you keep thinking it is God, but if one knows God, and Jesus, and enough of the Word of God,they would see that is is a liar, and not God, So are you trying to say that this thread is a "unhealthy" focus on them ? I don't understand, at all what you are trying to "plant",..until I read, YOUR idea of worshiping them, I had never imagined such a thing. Here you really lose me, I know: ISAIAH 6 from the King James version, but it dose not say anything like what you are suggesting, I am not sure what you mean, "Keep the focus where it belongs",...the bible dose not say anything about ,focus, or where it belongs, In fact, it dose not say they covered theyre body, Twain means "pair" or 2, with 2 he covered his face, and 2 he covered his feet,...no mention as to why, MY focus, was on what they were saying ""Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."", and this is true. Next, because it all happens so fast, "" 5 ¶Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. * 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: * 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. *""" My focus, is on that hot coal, and it burned!,.. In my dream, I saw,heard and felt what Isaiah saw,and felt,and heard, "8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."", and I woke up, saying the same,...talking in my sleep ? I went back to sleep, the entire "BOOK", past before my eyes, in my dream,..the next day I went to a minister/friend,..and told him, I now believe, and want you to pray with me, I am going to ask JESUS, to come into my life, ISAIAH the prophet, his Book, in the HOLY bible, made me understand, helped me come to accept Jesus,.. The "things" you are suggesting, or trying to imply, are so far beyond my thoughts, they don't make sense,..but please, don't try to explain, what you are trying to focus on, when you imagine, it says they covered theyre bodies, or why,.. I don't want to know your thoughts and imaginings. Any way, this thread was certainly not started, with any thoughts of worshiping anything, GOD is who I worship,.I really can not comprehend the thought of worshiping anything else. I have a sleep disorder, called NARCOLEPSY, if you do a google, you will see, what that is,..if you don't know. One of the many characteristics, of this sleep disorder, is the dreams, can seem very real, in my case, all though the first half of my life, it was a affliction, when I finally was found, by JESUS, or a angel sent by Him, things turned around, my affliction became a blessing. SELAH!,.. God bless you, for the replys, anyway, it makes it more interesting.
  14. I just wonder or ask , My GOD, "When will , they open they're eyes and see, these people, both claiming they are the "true religions" " "religions of peace", and how quickly they both, run, seeking wars, and killing, hatred and violence ? " JESUS Christ is MY LORD, but I do not want to be called a "Christian", nor a "Islamic", nor any others, I am that I am, by the Grace of God,..I just do not understand, why you all can not see, it works both ways, you all go running so quickly, to the wars, to look for the killing, and violence, claiming to be "religions of peace", the enemy is SATAN, the devil, LUCIFER, Ok they say "well they started it, they came here, " they say, no "they started it, they sent the warmongers, here",...the Bible says, what will happen to the warmongers, and those the seek wars,vilolence,destruccion,.. It makes me literally cry, and GOD too ,even the angels weep, because, so many claim to be "Christians" as well as, the ones that claim to be Islamic. Thank GOD, soon, it will be over, and a end to all of this is coming SOON, SELAH! I regret having read this post/thread,..but oh well for some reason , God put it in front of my eyes. Help me Jesus, to forget what I have seen here, so I can sleep peacfully, and PLEASE , forgive me too, I am a sinner,..Lord, OUR GOD, in the name of Jesus, I plead, forgive these poor souls, they are blind, and mislead, they do not know what they say ,nor do.God help us all, and I say Amen, now I can sleep, because I KNOW JESUS,and He will make it all right.
  15. To bad I have to "run", it is time to go to work, How ever, I did read the comments,(replies), and find them interesting, Just don't have time at the moment to say much more, thanks, from Garry
