For me if God says that he is good, all the time, and he is perfect love, and he does not torment, and he does not lie, he is the author / giver of life and good things, the author of hope, the one who we can always trust and find comfort and healing and hope in...... like... John10:10 Jesus says "the theif comes to steal, kill and destroy. ...I came that they may enjoy and have life and have it in abundance (to the full,till it overflows) Verse11.. I am the good shepherd, The good shepherd risks and lays down his (own) life for his sheep. All of Psalm 23 speaks of the goodness of God and how we should and can put our whole trust in him, because he will keep us safe. he sets a table before us in the presence of our enemies, now that could be seen a bit negative i guess. But as i see it we are only at the table because our head has been annointed with the oil and we are there to win. My god has never placed me at the table with my enemy for me to lose the battle and go away broken so i can learn some life lesson. if i loose it's my bad, because god gave the tools and it was his plan to win. If Jesus Knowing/being God in his mind and in his nature as a human being, wanted to usher in the kingdom of heaven by saying to his crew "Cure the sick,raise the dead,cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. It makes no sense to me why he has to make some more sick people. he is going to undo the good work he is already doing. Jesus does not have to do the devils job, the devil wants to destroy us and we in our brokenness and pride of life, do a pretty good job to. Sure there is some people because of the fall that are born with defects or ailments on the outside. but we are all busted on the inside some how..... Proverbs 14:30 A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy and jealousy, and rath are like rottenness of the bones. I suspect there will be a bunch of people that may disagree with me. But on my journey, i am learning to keep it simple with god or the devil will tell me crap and i won't get my healings etc... because i got to many unanswered but why god questions and that effects my faith. I used to be a really big questioner.

i took the website sounds interesting, thankyou, Bless ya, brenno

i would like to have a jewish understanding of why the newborns were circumsized specifically on the eighth day everything seems to be a visual aid and of great meaning for them, sometimes the little things mean so much.

Some Biblical passages on God's grace: Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Rom. 6:14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. Rom. 11:6 But if it is {salvation} by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. 1 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Rom 3:21-26 21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Thanks for your reminding of the word golden eagle, have you read the final quest bby rick joyner. he talks about the eagles alot at the mountain and under the feathers there is battle scars and the scars are healed up and gold.

Thankyou for answering my comment Willamina, i like that part that says it is a gift from God, and thats the thing i suppose i am challenged with its a gift, it has to be recieved and i have, and then you have to open it and i have, and then you have to work out what it is, and what it looks like, and that question of how do i use this gift to its full potential and thats the bit i restle with, but praise the lord with all these new hearts and minds around i have to find the answer. thankyou.

Cailean what does desiderata mean, i have never heard that word.

thanks for your comment to me Fresno joe,and i accept Jesus and his forgivness for me which is what i think your saying. But even though i have my rest in him i still have to make choices to move on to perfection in him. maybe i think to much.

Thanks for those tips golden eagle.

Can someone tell me more about what Grace means to them.

The grace filled life, i am on a journey to learn and understand through experience what the fullness of his grace really looks like for me. I love the lord and i don't want to abuse the gift of life he has given me. and being a bit legalistic is starting to be playing it safe because the world out there that god has for me within the limit of what the kindom looks like is so big still it's like " God just point me in this direction and i will do that", but it seems like you can do what you want "What seems good to you and God will help".

I suppose I think along the lines a little bit like one light, in the fact that if there is a bridegroom there is a bride, and that leads back tow virgin , which leads back to the wise and foolish virgins. Being I believe to be the body of Christ. For me when I read these passages of scripture, i find myself not focused on the when so much is the issues of the oil and the lamp. They seem to be the important issues of depth of relationship and am I ready which of the five virgins catagory do I fit into now and the facts of buying the oil
