"Whatever is done without faith is sin"?
1to3 replied to Praise2God4ever's topic in Do you want to just ask a question?
Sin is missing the mark, going contrary to Gods will for us in our lives. The products of sin lead to death. Sin corrupts, enslaves, blinds,and bears no good fruits of the Spirit of God, but rather embraces the lusts of the flesh. The more faith=faithfulness in which we seek God in all that we do, everyday of our lives, is the way , as we have repented to Him, and have invited Gods Holy Spirit to come make a home in our hearts- in us-. These actions from our part, allows God to is able to work in us, to gently nudge us of our wrongs to help correct us, by beckoning to our consciousness when we are going the wrong way. When you have given your heart to the Lord, you recognize His voice, nudging at your conscience, nudging at your heart. When He calls or speaks to your heart. He becomes your good Shepherd and when you go astray, miss the mark, fall into sin, He searches you and tries to gently bring you back home to Him and His Word. John 10:10 Because we live in a satan corrupted world , everyday there are new tests of faith=faithfulness towards God. How we handle these daily tests of faith is a testimony as to how much we understand, how much faith=faithfulness we are giving over completely to God and His Word towards these test /circumstance we are being faced with, challenged with. Gods Word say that He is faithful to those who seek Him. If we do not seek God, we disable His ability, His Word to work in us and help us, heal us, cleanse us, redeem us, transform us into His new creations. Through Christ Jesus working in our heart, we become new creations, we become the child of God He always intended for us to be. God is our Father, He loves us and promises us to never forsake us or abandon us. As long as we seek Him to help us. He stands faithful to us and IS able to help rescue, salvage us from the traps of sin. Now, can we not also stand faithful to God our Father? give Him a little love, a little trust, have a little bit of faith in who He says He is? the more we give our, trust our faith+faithfulness to God, the more it grows and grows and grows... God our Father loves us, He loved us first Can we in turn love Him? The more you love somebody, the more you want to be faithful to them. you want then to trust you like you are trusting of them. And the more you place trust in the one you love, the more the love grows and grows with your relationship. God has given us His Word that He loves us, and will never abandon us, and like a good loving and patient Father, He is also willing to show you and me how to love back, how to be faithful back,how to trust Him more and more. He is the good Father, the Good Teacher of showing us what True Love is, of what True Faith= Faithfulness is, of what true Trust in somebody is. God is LOVE and the Teacher of what TRUE love is about and what it can do. Its like a marriage, a marriage needs to have loving faithfulness flowing both ways for trust to grow and grow and for love to deepen and deepen even more and more as each day moves forward onto the next day and the next... God wants us to communicate with Him and He in turn responds back. It is a symbiotic relationship. Its not a one way relationship. Its an ongoing back and forth relationship. As faith that is not tested is not really faith. The fruits of faith are virtue. virtue that is not tested is not virtue. With every new test of faith we learn from it and grow from it and are transformed from it, step by step, into the children of God we were always intended to be. God our Father is infinitely patient with His children and also Teaches us to become patient as well.. In cultivating patience within, comes more and more understanding of Him in us, in our hearts, Patience is a virtue given from God. Patience is a sign of Gods Love working in us. When someone shows a lack of patience, they show a lack of love. When you truly have love for something that is dear to your heart, you have patience for them. As a loving parent towards your child, you teach lovingly, gently and have patience for your child as your child is learning from you. sin comes and enters us through trauma, and trauma does not come from God To be set free from the bondage's of our sinful nature, a small amount of faith, even the size of a mustard seed will do for that faith to grow more and more with each step of faith-faithfulness (trust) we place in God hands toward our situation. And His Word says that everyone is given a seed of faith to be cultivated towards and with Gods help it will grow and grow and grow. How we as individuals choose to cultivate this gift of faith freely given to us all, or not, will determine the outcome of our lives. But we are all give the same seed of faith, what we choose to do with it, makes all the difference. Romans 12:3 …2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment,*** according to the measure of faith*** God has given you And from every little step of faith we take in Him, also our trust in our heavenly Father grows as we begin to see the fruits of His spirit manifest in us and that came forth from that initial tiny seed of faith we first placed towards trusting God with, and that we daily carefully tended to and givingly placed in God hands to work in us and grow in us more and more. Galatians 5:22-23 (what is walking hand in hand with God our Father) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance=patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. By doing so, there will come a time, when you will truly see that the things of sin that you once were so under its spell, no longer appeals to you, like it once did when you were without being in a faithful trusting relationship with God. Galatians: 5:19 (what is missing the mark=sin, leading to eventual death of body= corrupted physical, mind=corrupted consciousness and spirit= corrupted soul) 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Who can help you overcome sin? God our Father can through His only begotten Son Christ Jesus and His Holy Spirit making His home in our hearts. Seek Him first in all that you do and He will bless you, heal you, redeem you back with His love and care for you transforming you step, by step, faith by faith, trust by trust, into the child of God you were always intended to be.. Do Not Worry Matthew 6:33 …32For the pagans pursue all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows what you need. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own. Trust in God with ALL your heart Proverbs 3: 5,6 4So you will find favor and good repute In the sight of God and man. 5Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.… Sometime we fail, we miss the Mark, but usually because the Holy Spirit lives in our hearts we will know , we will also know in our hearts when we are missing the mark-going into sin- The more we place our Faith and TRUST in God and His word by believing HIM and His WORD to be completely TRUE, the more God is enabled to work into our hearts and grant more and more understanding of His will for us in our lives. -
story of Job, a few things that never sat right with me.
1to3 replied to notsolostsoul's topic in General Discussion
Job is a story with a lesson behind it. Its about keeping Faith= faithfulness in God no matter what I do believe the story of Job its about never loosing our faith=faithfulness in God and His word, no matter what happens, no matter what our friend or fiends say, and no matter what happens, to just keep our eyes and hearts focused on God and trusting in Him no matter what happens. Where Jobs children good and faithful to God like Job was? The fact that Job lost his children, it does not say that that the children were good like Job was good, the children were partying and drinking wine, when they died. It is quite factual that we reap what we sow, and when we live a life that is worldly, we also get worldly results. If our parents are good and faithful to the Lord, it does not give the children license to live like the world does and not have any repercussions to them and be protected just because their parents are good and they are not. Remaining faithful to God, whether in good or bad circumstances is what I take from the Story of Job. And because of Jobs continuous faithfulness even in the hardest times of his life, God helped him overcome and blessed him for his faithfulness. -
I agree, and it grieves my heart to encounter people claiming to be christians, yet completely lacking compassion in their hearts. What I get from this, is that we all are at different leaning curves and as we keep ourselves aligned everyday in relationship to God and His Word, God is faithful back and He teaches, reproofs and helps us understand and see more clearly our faults and gives us also the opportunity to change into better human beings. This becoming transformed through Christ Jesus, is a lifetime process. I think that all who are here who have repented and turned their lives over through Gods plan of Love Mercy and Grace through His only begotten Son Christ Jesus are on their very own paths and learning curves and basically mean well. Of course we all make mistakes even here on worthy. If we can all try for forgiveness, our peace becomes more secure and settled Blessed day and hope you are enjoying Lördagsgodis today. I share with you for today in virtual thoughts some classic Cloetta Polka Grisar candy ! In Christ Jesus; 1to3

Thank you Davida for presenting these facts. It just confirms how base humanity can go without Gods plan of Love , Mercy and Grace working in the hearts of people. Without Gods Love, Mercy, Grace in our hearts, human depravity is a bottomless hellish, morally corrupt pit. As Christians we need to guard our hearts at all times as the evil one is always waiting in to see who it can steal, kill and destroy. Everyday we need the Lord working in our hearts, transforming them more and more into the children of God He always intended for us to be. This example of exploitation of any kind is just one of the many things that prove that without Gods plan of Love, Mercy and Grace working daily in our hearts, we ALL can be are a most vicious, corrupt, depraved type of people. Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 5:17 Christ Jesus said: 6In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 17Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

But i did not come to argue, if anything i was trying to make you feel included in the posts I wrote.

If that is the case then you have God living in your heart. If you perceive the the Lord telling you when you've done something wrong and should repent, then the Holy Spirit of God is near to you and working to mold you more and more into the child of God you were always meant to be. There already have been some insightful comments. The only thing I could stress is the continuous daily cleansing of our pride, judgement and resentments and to practice daily forgiveness of ourselves as well as others. When we feel guilty, sometimes its because we are judging others, ourselves to harshly and then feel guilty (hate ourselves) for doing so. And important part of not keeping judgement, resentments is to look at any given circumstance with an objective eye view and to not (play God) by internally resenting any of what you observe, but to just watch it from a detached point of view and give all your concerns to God to deal with. So by becoming the viewer and not the viewe, meaning you are looking at the circumstance from an observing, objective point of view and not an internal personal (playing God) point of view. Resent not the devil and he will flee, if you resent the devil, internalize him in you, and you have fallen into his game. Resent not devil, don't internalize, anger, judgement,resentment, resist him by not giving into his lure and he will flee. Judgement is mine says the Lord. Give all your cares to Him and let Him, take care of the given situation and guide your path, as He seems already quite willing to do for you. Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord will be saved. God is our Good Shepherd John 10:10 He will never leave You nor forsake you. God never block us out, it us who by the wrong choices we make, block Him out. The unpardonable sin is when we have no more conscience to recognize Him as who He said He is and could so easily curse him in our last breath as the conscience has become so seared by sin, that this kind, no longer recognizes or sees or cares for who God really is.This is the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit of God=completely rejecting God. From what you say, I think you care very much for Him and also He cares very much for you. Step by step, day by day we grow and keep growing in the Lord, like Job we just got to persevere in good faith=faithfulness towards Him and His Word and like Paul says not that we comprehend all yet, and also we not look back but we keep looking ahead and finish the race towards His higher calling. Song for you: Day by Day Day by day Day by day Oh Dear Lord Three things I pray To see thee more clearly Love thee more dearly Follow thee more nearly Day by day Day by day Day by day Oh Dear Lord Three things I pray To see thee more clearly Love thee more dearly Follow thee more nearly Day by day Day by day Day by day Oh Dear Lord Three things I pray To see thee more clearly Love thee more dearly Follow thee more nearly Day by day Day by day by day by day God Bless you In Christ Jesus, our courage strength and hope always ; and day by day... 1 to 3

Hi Love Mercy, this is a huge topic that you bring up, but a necessary one, as we all need to examine our envy & pride. These attributes or shortcomings, are well alive in every person alive, including everyone here on Worthy , and needs to be examined and modified toward a Christ like attitude toward them. You can be rich or poor, the envy and pride thing will always be there until we modify ourselves through the Holy Spirit of God working in our hearts. We are not to be of this world but transformed by the renewing of our mind through the Grace of God. Romans ch12:2 1Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.… Everyday is a new day and every day, we are to come to God and seek His will over our will. Everyday, everyday, everyday until we go back to Him in heaven. As we need to eat every day for sustenance, God also is our daily living bread to be able to live in HIM and with Him and through Him for our spiritual sustenance. Matthew 6:5-15King James Version (KJV) 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Comparing ourselves to others is not what God wants for us. Its actually a very negative and energy taking activity. I try to stay away from people (be they rich or poor), places or things that encourage that kind of activity. The bible does tell us as Christians we are to mind our business and live peaceful and quiet lives. 1 Thessalonians 4:11 10And indeed, you are showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more 11and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you. 12Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.

Something that i don't get about the witch of endor story
1to3 replied to zorgblar's topic in General Discussion
it was not Samuel but a counterfeit demonic spirit speaking to Saul telling Saul that the next day he and his sons would be dead and with him (hell) as satan and his demons are from the pit of hell and not in heaven.. If it was indeed Samuel that God allowed to speak that would contradict God WORD that is fixed and does not change. Gods LAWS do not change to fancy the whims of a sinner Gods Words is clear about witchcraft and it makes no sense that God would bend all his laws to tel Saul by using departed Samuel soul/spirit ,to say that he will end up dead. There is no valid point why God would do that for disobedient Saul, as it was made quite clear even in Saul's time that witchcraft of any kind was wrong. Even Saul knew that it was wrong and as king had it banned in his kingdom, that 's why he had to travel out of his kingdom to find the witch of Endor. Saul was disobedient to God up until the end of his life when he still had time to repent but instead committed suicide by throwing himself on his sword. The lessons of Sauls life is clear. Saul was given to the Jewish people because they wanted what other kingdoms had a king to rule instead of a priest. The Jewish people where rebellious to Gods words and wanted to have what the other non Jewish kingdoms had: a king to rule instead of a priest. Samuel was the one who chose Saul from what God told Him to chose to be king. Samuel in the befogging had many good attribute4s that with Gods guidance could have done good , but Saul forgot quickly about God and was disobedient to Gods WORD, by choosing early on in his reign to do his own things instead of patiently waiting on the Lord.. Saul in the beginning had everything to be a good king, but things got soon corrupt as Saul instead of obeying God, kept deciding instead to do his own thing. The more Saul did his own thing instead of listening to God, Saul became more and more distant to God . Sauls, continues rebelliousness to God and His word, distanced himself from God and this in turn opened Saul up to many woes. That is what sin and rebelliousness does, it distances us from God and opens us up to satan ability to kill, steal and destroy our souls. By the end of Saul life, Saul was so far gone from God that he thought witchcraft as a means to find his answers. Big mistake. God will never entertain you in any way when you use witchcraft to look for answers. Instead Saul got a demon in the disguise of Samuel,telling Saul that he and his sons would be with him the next day. Satan through his demons counterfeit Spirit pretending to be Samuel, was happy to tell Saul, Saul you dodo, not only should you have not summoned dark spirits up , but tomorrow you and your sons will be in hell with me. Lesson to be learned from the story of Sauls life: If you are obedient to God and His Word you will return to God. If you rebel from Gods Word and do your own thing over and over with complete disregard to God and His WORD, you will end up in hell. God is the SAME yesterday, today and tomorrow. His WORD does not change and willcertainly NOT to fit our whims that go against Gods Word. -
This is all very sad, and its all moving along towards eugenics=trans-humanism. The government is also changing and controlling our weather, with chem-trails,weather modification/Geoengineering check for yourself on you tube video: The Weather is Changing Full HAARP Chemtrail Documentary 2014 HD new HD Documentary and then their is CERN.... all these are preparations for global world control. This world is wicked , always has been and it is geared on man trying to over power God by trying to become separate from God and away from God Holy Laws and does not mind taking down as many God given creations and creatures in the process of trying to become completely man/satan engineered. Man is looking to control the world and have it ruled by an elite of wicked hybrids

lol, yes I thought about that too, but if you look at it another way, the two other brothers trusted that their older brother would take care of things. Remember they did have a pow wow power talk amoungst themselves before going over the bridge. So they had a plan and trusted that the older brother would take care of things. At least that is how I am taking the story .

Well I have been to Sweden many times, throughout the course of my life, but yes only as a visitor. Its a very beautiful, country. Like here and everywhere not all agree with the current governments or what is going on with the current migrants situation. The mass migrant situation is something new to Sweden. Sweden has changed in the last 1o plus years because of this new influx of middle eastern migrants fleeing war torn countries. I have not been following so closely politics in Sweden , but i wounder if the governments ruling in these years as well as the United Nation has had something to do with the country having to take in so many migrants. When my uncle came from Sweden to visit us in Montreal Canada the 199o ies, he said to my mother that Montreal was like the united nations. lol. Because,especially at that time there were very few black africans, Indians, or middle eastern people making their lives in Sweden. But Montreal has changed a lot . I have noticed in the last fourteen years, that the population has grown , their are more cars, more traffic and many more immigrants of people coming from poorer countries. Things have changed, there is a lot more violent crimes too. about Sweden... Sweden also is changing, and with it comes other problems, and safety issues is amongst one of them. Because Sweden being such a vast country, many parts of the country have yet to feel the full strain that a migration of a certain culture and religion can bring on. Because of the Muslim migration situation, seeing people daily in full burkas is a new thing . Everything is changing everywhere, we have to find solutions in order that everyone try to live and be respectful of everyone else. But now you have the rich and well established in Sweden that mingle amongst themselves and really can't be to bothered to much as yet, as they can choose to live in places that are not yet as effected as the main cities like some places that have no go zones like in Stockholm or Malmö . Some of the new immigrants may envy the well established Swedes, and they don't necessarily understand the Swedish culture or wish to embrace it or integrate into it. And Swedes already being somewhat of a reserved people, by there culturally reserved ways, may not help the newly immigrated to feel so welcome , just because their cultural way is a more reserved way. Also there will be now perhaps more of a difference between culture and classes. The poorer coveting, judging the richer and the problems that that brings on Swedes mostly are a happy folk, they stick with themselves, they are private, polite people, and live as certain clean and ordered, reserved, and healthy life style,much more so than North America.When i was in Sweden last year it felt like i was going back to the better times of the 1980ies here in Canada, when most people still dressed nicely most everywhere in good quality clothing, and places were kept more proper and orderly. Its still is like that in Sweden. Most people in Sweden are calm and polite. It is part of their culture. This is what I have seen. it still is a very beautiful and prosperous country, yet even so that be, I did hear a Muslim shop owner who came only four years ago to Sweden from Seria, find something to complain about the Swedes. For sure ,the Swedes they always try to show welcome to a visitor and do try and show welcome also to the newly arrived migrants. But they have their ways , their culture that they enjoy, and enjoy them with like minded other Swedes or people wanting to embrace their culture. The difference comes along to be a problem when someone new tries to impose themselves on already establishes cultures and ways of life and tries to change them. The problem is not only in Sweden, it is now also in Canada, the U.S.A., Germany, France England and other... I am not surprised by what Saktmodug says . She like many Swedes, is educated, knows and speaks English very well, people from Sweden are mostly well educated and can speak and write English. They are intelligent and an orderly people, they enjoy and expect quality over quantity and they have very good technology and natural resources. Saktmodug points of view, not surprisingly from where she comes from, resounds very liberal view points, like the majority of Swedes, but also in Sweden, there are different political powers, different ideologies, religious beliefs and not every Swede agrees with another, but yes, the Swedes likes and try as a culture to be polite and respectful to all and give people the benefit of the doubt. As Christians I think we need to be patient and receiving of anyone truly searching Gods truth through the bible. We as Christians can only lead by example, and how we discuss things amoungst one another should also be demonstrated by Christ like example. Being or becoming a Christians is a process and we are all at different learning curves. Patience, loving patience is necessary when teaching . Where I was with my walk with God ten years ago and where I am with my walk with God today, has progressed as the Holy Spirit of God has been working in my heart and keeps working in my heart. Over the years, step by step, I have given up so many things that the world lives by, I have no desire to live by the ways of the world, I truly seek God with all my heart and soul, and desire to get more and more close to God. This too has separated me from the friends that i used to know as they live by world standards and not much by any moral biblical standards and so sadly our roads part and now i pray for them at a distance. Yes there is such a thing as living with a semblance of good but denying its power This we see everywhere also, and liberal governments want to promote this goodness semblance of goodness, and so then this kind of government and its goodness is also reflected in the people, in the churches the people attend. When you know better you do better... forgive them father for they do, for they do not know what they do... Finding today a good and Godly church that stands by the standards of the Word of God is difficult to find. The best place to find Gods truth it is looking for yourself in the bible and before even opening your bible, pray to God that His Holy spirit quietly teach and guide your heart towards HIS Truth. 2 Timothy 3:5 4traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these! 6They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,… Romans 12:2 1Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.…

2 Timothy ch2 v 24,25,26 24-And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentile to all, able to teach, patient. 25-in humility correcting those who are in opposition. If God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they know the truth. 26-and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prayer; Dear Father God, thank you for you plan of Mercy and Grace through your only begotten Son Christ Jesus, that has paid the penalty for the sins of mankind to anyone coming in earnest to God through His only begotten Son Christ Jesus, to repent of their sins and to become willing to let go of them and place then to die on the cross, so that the Holy Blood of Jesus can wash them away and make us clean through Him, not of our works lest one should boast, but of Him working in us, beckoning at our conscious, helping us see our wrongs and helping us to correct our wrongs by following His right path though Hi Holy spirit speaking to our hearts through His Word. Please Father help us that this thread may prove that Your Word is greater than satans lies. Amen!Amen!Amen!

I also in my teens, twenties and thirties, though that abortion in a fetus under six weeks was not killing a living human being. Until I had learned the truth . Abortion is legal and free under medicare in the proving of Quebec Canada since at least the early 1970ies . Unless you are a christian or come from a family that is against terminating pregnancies, you will be under the dictates of what society, science dictates to you until by the Grace of your God given conscience wakes you up to the reality of the atrocity and murderthat abortion truly is. Abortion is killing life. At any time from conception onwards, that the embryo is alive in the womb and in its different gestation stages, it is a living being. There are so many abortions done where the life of the mother are NOT threatened by the pregnancy and where the mother could very well deliver her child. And the percentages of children deformed in the gestation period receiving an abortion to the proportion of women who just have an abortion because they just don't want a child is huge an being greater in the amounts of abortion of women who are healthy, with a healthy gestation of the fetus who just choose for themselves, to end the life. The human conscious does not forget, even when it is wrong, the God given conscious of man is beckoned to come into repentance before it is to late. Even Hitlers conscience was beckoning at him as he became more and more unraveled by the things he chose to do. The problem with sin is that it erodes at the God given conscience that God has given to all. The unpardonable sin is when the conscience has been so seared by so many unrepentant sins, that it can no longer decipher right from wrong. Was Hitlers conscience so seared that by the time he had to admit defeat, he could no longer even consider God to repent, and rather just mocked and cursed at God while he chose to kill himself?? or did he even in his corrupted conscience somewhere still know that what he had done was wrong, but now hated himself so much and in self hatred decided he deserved death and so killed himself?? In either scenario, if Hitler could not find it in his heart or conscience to repent to God for what he did, andrepent and ask God for forgivenss , he like Saul chose his own fate by the choice he chose to make. Yes we all fall short of the Glory of God, we ALL are sinners in need of repentance, just not everyone is willing to repent. Pride of consciousnesses is standing in the way. and this pride of conscience is what erodes and sears the God given human consciousness to a point of no return, where the person now has no regard, respect for God. This is the unpardonable sin. If you ask any women who had had an abortion if she regrets it, most women will tell you that yes they regret it and that they can never forget what they have done. If you cannot forget something that you have done like terminating a pregnancy, that is a sure sign that your conscience is capable of deciphering right from wrong and is trying into wake you up to something that is terribly wrong. Repentance of heart towards God is what God is calling the sinner to do. Through repentance , our conscience gets more and more awakened to Gods truth. Yes it is only God who can judge the true intents of a mans heart, but God places people ,places, things and circumstances to help waken up our conscience to Him and what is Truth and Correct wholesome, sound thinking. This world is full or the counterfeits from satan the greatest snakeskin salesman their exists. Politics, the pursuit of science and falsifying some DATA for the gains of power, money and manipulation is what fills up this world and tries to fool this world and corrupt its God given conscious with. this world plays mind games in order to steal, kill and destroy. The awakening of Gods given conscience comes form a sincere heart of repentance willing to let go of their sins and give their trust, their faith=faithfulness to God alone and His WORD that is Alive and unchanging. If you go right, you can't go wrong. if you go wrong, to go back right again you need to change course form how you are presently going. And for a conscientiousness that seeks truth ( to go right again), it begins with coming back to God with a sincere repentant heart and a willingness to let go of our sins, place them at the foot of the cross and ask Christ Jesus to take them and cover them with His redeeming blood, that was shed for the remission of our sins. He alone, Christ Jesus , the Only begotten Son of God, can heal a person of their sins and sicknesses. All other ways fall short of His Truth, His Glory.

Jesus did say give to Caesar what is Caesars, and the constitution was based on certain fundamental laws. Explore Issues open search Report Political Process Did America Have a Christian Founding? June 7, 2011 29 min read Download Report Mark David Hall Copied " Did America have a Christian Founding? This disputed question, far from being only of historical interest, has important implications for how we conceive of the role of religion in the American republic. Mark David Hall begins by considering two popular answers to the query—“Of course not!” and “Absolutely!”—both of which distort the Founders’ views. After showing that Christian ideas were one of the important intellectual influences on the Founders, he discusses three major areas of agreement with respect to religious liberty and church–state relations at the time of the Founding: Religious liberty is a right and must be protected; the national government should not create an established church, and states should have them only if they encourage and assist Christianity; and religion belongs in the public square. In short, while America did not have a Christian Founding in the sense of creating a theocracy, its Founding was deeply shaped by Christian moral truths. More important, it created a regime that was hospitable to Christians, but also to practitioners of other religions" "Judeo-Christian Values have a foundational role in America, beginning with the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness..." " Our Founding Fathers separated church from state, but they wisely did not separate God from state; they acknowledged God as the source of our rights, and, in fact, they were careful to place Biblical morality directly into our founding documents and laws, and into our values and culture precisely to help prevent a future of totalitarian or tyrannical rule in America. The combination of keeping Judeo-Christian religious morality in the state, as opposed to the church it's self; and, additionally, setting up our laws based on reason and common sense has contributed to the American Character, and to what is known as "American Exceptionalism." September 15, 2007 The Judeo-Christian Values of America By Ronald R. Cherry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem is that there is a religion now out there that is propagating around the world, imposing its way upon the rest of the world and their existing governments. The Muslim invasion now happening in all countries Europe and North American, is only opening the door to the new world order to come. I do not believe the Muslim religion will take over our countries and governments, but it is giving way for the NEW WORLD ORDER TO come into EFFECT with a NEW Religion that will be bringing in the anti Christ. Liberal governments are being led by shadow governments that are working to see this New Word Order take place. It wants chaos, and is welcoming the chaos that is happening now all over the world. It is also causing big major "natural" disasters, to help to depopulate and cause further chaos People Life George Sorros are working to see this come into fruition it wants collapse so it can rebuild in there NEW way. A way of controlling people and people having no real choice except choosing their way of life. The puppets masters behind the scene are working with the worlds liberals leader and also certain "conservatives" to bring on a collapse . there is power, shadow government much greater than just the liberal or conservative controlling both. The world elites are planning... The New world order wants to control EVERYTHING about us, for their own greed, and power and control. It is slowly planning for its arrival. Now, it is in the makes of controlling our food , by genetically modifying our food that most everyone almost has no choice but to eat it. These modified foods no longer contains the originator seed from which a farmer can grow there crops from, everything becomes regulated by what the government issues out. It has caused problems in suffering countries who have gone along with trying out the genetically modifies plan. It has been more costly and yealding worse yields so that small farmers have had to close . The government wants to control on our food supply, wants to control our water supply. Its wants us addicted and dependent on it The government wants us addicted to medications and pills for every little ill that we have. The government also wants of control out water supply, having us have no real choice to choose fluoridated water of not. Foridated water dumbs down a person, does not make a person healthier and too much fluoride does not keep teeth healthy is deteriorates them . Many medications especially meds to treat mental illness, contains high levels of fluoride in them. we are being manipulated, hypnotized but many of us are unaware of it. We are now in the initial phase of its rumblings. People are talking, but nobody is doing much to stop it. And not enough people are sounding the alarm and doing much to stop what is taking over. Only the Liberals are now screaming, but they are screaming for the wrong reasons. It seems that Trump is trying to stop things from getting worse. Will he succeed or it is just a delay of inevitable things to come. Those against Trump seem to be blinded by the true evils that exists. They are stupidly backing up a system that will eventually destroy them further. The thing each individual christian needs to do now more so than ever is to cleave to God and His Word, ask God for forgiveness, guidance in your life, and have forgiveness in your heart always for your brethren, and live a christian life no matter the circumstances. Keep living in Gods Word and Truth and Cleave to IT in all your ways.

A lot of people are like that. a lot of people say they are Christians, but their Christianity is mixed up with a lot of other influences. And this sometimes confuses me, and yes I to have been guilty of this to and than the "people pleasing" to not ruffle anyone feathers. It takes Christian courage, and great faith/ confidence= confi-deo= (confidence in God alone) to take a stand and point out whatever is not lining up with Gods Word Finding Christ Jesus and His Word to be Truth and standing up for this without worldly add-ons, and people pleasing is part of the challenge in living a Christian life or life in Christ Jesus. We as Christian are to live by example to Gods Word, and when someone if off, it is quite right for another christian to bring into remembrance what Gods Word has to say about a particular topic, subject, circumstance. We are to live in this world but not be part of it. and sometimes we miss the mark.

If trying trying to undo the promotion of wrong as a right thing, than anyone who promotes Godly virtues according to the Word of God in the Bible will be viewed as wrong in the way the world views things. In the world right is viewed as wrong and wrong is viewed as right.

first thing is you have to have a love for animals that involves a certain amount of responsibility on your part. Pets can be great companions, can even detect sometimes sickness in a human beings, . Cats are good mice, rat detectors, and can be a blessing to have around a house. For sure left unattended, and especially when they are young, cats can get into mischief, like getting into plants, clawing your furniture. but all this is part of training a pet not to do certain things around the house. A water filled spray bottle is a great way to deter an animal from getting into bad habits. But of course this takes time and care on your part to teach your cats the to- do and not to do certain behaviors around your home Cats are teachable and trainable to behave a certain way. I don't believe declawing your cat is a good thing to do at all as its the cats best defense and a well trained cat will not use its claws to tear down and destroy your furniture. Their are play things that you can make of buy for the cat to stretch its claws with. Like it has been said, depending on many factors, where you live, what type of lifestyle you live, what kind of financial situation you find yourself in, having a pet may or may not be such a good idea. Any pet needs care. It takes someone who is willing to be responsible for their pet. If you are young, have a busy lifestyle having a pet, will only limit you, or bring on other worries and concerns from being able to do certain things like travel, going away for a week-end or extended period of times. As much as it is a joy, it is a responsibility -emotionally & financially. You need to weight the balance for what is most suitable for your lifestyle. And only you really know the answer to that one. There are so many people who should not own animals, because they just don't have it in them to care lovingly and patiently for an animal.

I watched the whole thing, it was great, the speech was great. Then I listened afterwards to the commentaries after the inauguration was over. channel CBS3, channel 5 NBC news where commenting in a negative way, to what he said, saying that his speech was really negative really twisting things on a negative curve. For people who had not had a chance to personally view presidents Donald Trumps speech for themselves, could really get mislead if they trusted the news comments . This is the first election where I really got to witness how the news media chooses to portray something and unfairly so at that . I did not find presidents Donald Trump speech negative. It was positive and hopefully he will be able to accomplish what he is setting out to do. I hope and pray so.

Do you have any resentments? Part of Christian Healing is dropping resentments and judgement over people,places and things, -people- including yourself. Thoughts are what cause anxieties. Thoughts of the past , present , future. these can be filed with all kinds of fears, pre-judgements, resentments. These we need to let go of on the spot. We need to place them in Gods hands to handle. Trust in God and lean not on your own understanding Prov 3:5,6 Proverbs 3:5,6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Over five years ago, I had a terrible panic attack. It was so great, I was grasping for air and thought I was having a heart attack. My repairman/mechanic had just mentioned to me how that he shot his dog dead because he felt his dog was just a nuisance. I loved that dog and when I came over, I played with it and I even had mentioned to him if ever he did not want his dog to tell me and that I would look for a home for him. so when he told me what he did, i just had no words and told hi i just couod not speak and had to leave. form the moment I left and went back home in my car, I was sobing inconsolably with thought s of shooting myself that mechanic for what he did. My heart was filled with sorrow for the dog and rage for what the man had done. I was distraught for several days thinking about it. That same night that I heard what had happened with the dog, I called a prayer lie and we prayed. That evening I also listened to the radio and found a radio show hosted by Roy Master. He was talking about why people get sick emotionally, spiritually and physically. The root he said is always spiritual and many times has to do with keeping resentments, judgements . For sure, I was very resentful at the mechanic. But after hearing this christian radio host explain that we need to practice forgivenes and drop out judgement over people and give these concerns over to God. It is through doing this, giving up my judgement over this mechanic man, and practicing forgiveness in this situation, was I able to stop these panic attacks. This christian Radio host gave a simple technique to get passed the panic. Its basically is similar to what Mable said. To keep your present focus on God. To be still and know HE is GOD Psalm 46:10 God is Our Refuge and Strength …9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. 10"Be still =- cease striving- and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." 11The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.… The christian radio host said that when we feel these anxieties we need to step back and keep our thought on God. He mentions to close your eyes and focus on the pixels/sparkles you see when your eyes are closed, and to concentrate on them and also at the same time to be aware of your right hand and and look to be aware of the tingling in each finger and than to focus back on the pixels/little sparkles you see with your eyes while they are closed closed. As you get busy doing that your mind does not have the time to think on worries as it is defocusing on your thoughts and focusing on the present moment with your eyelids closed viewing the pixels/sparkles you see with the eyes closed and to also focus on each finger of your right hand, beginning with the first finger, then the second then the third, fourth , fifth and then returning to the first, all the while focusing on the pixels you see while your eyes are closed. When you can focus on this refocusing exercise, it gives your mind, reprieve, a rest and a chance to heal. And as a christian, also letting go of your resentments , angers and fears , judgement and giving them to God and practicing forgiveness in all that you do. These will heal us from anxieties, depression and other. sicknesses as most sicknesses have as a basic root, a spiritual component to them. Be patient with yourself and place your worries in Gods hands.

Faith and trust are different yet both needed for God to be able to work in our hearts and lives. Faith is believing in something enough to be willing to become completely faithful to it That is what God wants from us all.: for us to be completely faithful to Him But to be even able to have an once of faith we need to have an once of trust. If you don't trust, you can't have faith. I believe before any kind of faith can sprout and blossom, an amount of trust towards that faith is required. we need to place trust in what we want to have faith in. If what we trust is true it will show itself to us in good faith, and by experiencing this good faith, our trust grows and grows and keeps growing as our trust does. Like a good marriage grows better and better, and keeps growing as faith and trust go hand in hand.) to have faith we need a certain amount of trust in what we have faith in. Remember Christ Jesus saying oh yea of little faith Study Bible Jesus Calms the Storm …25The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” 26“You of little faith, Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm. 27The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”… KJV Matthew 8:26 KJV: And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith. When we don't have trust, we are afraid when we trust, we are not afraid and have faith in what we trust. By trusting and having faith in God we enable GOD to be able to DO all good works in us Oh very true. especially not judging someone who is struggling with their faith. Unless you are God (which you aint) you know very little, and are behaving more like a bleeding deacon instead of having a meek and gentle Christ like Spirit concerning matters of trust and faith . NOT nice. Concerning any acquaintance that lead to friendship that leads to a deep love, the component of trust is first required and by which sets the ground for the seed of faith to grow. Do you suppose a person will be more prone to trust and have faith and love you if your approach to them is done in criticism and condemnation over their inability to grasp at trusting you let alone having any faith in you ? the most any christian can do to help someone who does not yet know the Lord and lead them to trusting and having faith in the Lord, is to be a loving example, by ones own behavior and actions and pray for them and show christian kindness over fierce condemnation from the get go. And believe me, even though you may not downright say it, people can sense when someone is condemning and judging them even while the condemning person tries to have a fake insincere smile on their face. "Don't you ever think nobodies better than you, Gods great banana skin is going to get you." (song by Chris Rea) Matthew 7:1-3King James Version (KJV) 7 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
