Thank you for that clarification.

What a wonderfully refreshing post. Bless you. I believe God's higher calling is spoken of in Luke 14. If we aren't ready to surrender everything we are , know ourselves to be, and everyone we also adore as friends or love as family, to follow where God's voice leads, we cannot be his disciples. When nothing else matters but doing what God asks, I think that's when we know we have his calling in our hearts. What we do after that is up to us. God awaits.

It was a father's shame that his son saw him nude and drunk. Genesis 9 has the full report concerning this. Noah Cursed Ham because he also brought his fathers shame, because drunkenness was condemned by God also, to the attention of his brothers with the taking of the covering to obscure his fathers body. Ham's brothers did not otherwise see Noah nude. Ham is the father of Canaan. Which today is the Levant. The area of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel.

To whom are you speaking?

Women preachers in the world demonstrate God calls whom he will into his service and those who condemn God's choice and second guess him using the sin of animus toward the female gender forget God is watching. And they shall answer for it.

I think if you discern what is being posted about "the same type threads" has not a thing to do with the spirit of this thread.

Yes. Billionaire Saudi prince unloads most of his stake in News Corp

Thank you for that clarification.

Yes, it is amazing. We Are Told Not To Question Someone's Faith But...

I did not know he was Muslim. This that is happening now in his country is even more curious.

Blessings to you as well,

You're welcome.

Terribly sad.

And if Jihadi fighters are killed or kill themselves in a terror attack they believe they will go instantly to paradise. And there enjoy all that was forbidden in this life. It doesn't make the horror less in reading of children cut in half by ISIS terrorists who just helped them to get to Heaven a little faster. Drug addicts and dealers are openly shot in the Philippines. President Duterte has even bragged about that new policy. I wonder if he'll start having Muslims shot just as openly in order to overcome ISIS?

Praying. Ramadan, the month of Jihad, started yesterday. Two years ago ISIS crucified men and boys for breaking the fast on Ramadan in Syria. And this year just a couple of days ago ISIS urged all Muslims to wage an all out war on the west. Keep the world in prayer during the Ramadan month.

I've not heard of that before.

If Satan can't make people do his will, how these days does he have humans do most all of his deeds?

I picture an owl with a name like that.

What?

Excellent.

Yes. And Peter Jennings too.

Praying. The American media hardly mentions this.

Thank you for posting that link. I'll watch those when I have a block of time to dedicate. Did you bump those videos so that new members and others can get a chance to watch here if they don't happen on this thread?

Chee is fine. That was a great story about Ed.

A few of us have recognized the spirit behind remarks like that. You'll find that evidence in another thread here that follows the motive and intent of this one. As has appeared with great frequency as I've found in searching, those threads charging people are wolves rather than sheep. And even one that stated people should mourn martyred Christians in Egypt but not presume they were martyred as Christians! Those people were murdered because they were Christians! The spirit at work hoping to fracture the Ekklesia is unaware of God being responsible for that individual woman or man who identifies as Christian. Being his grace began the entire blessed process, and he knew the name of every son and daughter before this world came into being. No one comes to Jesus except that God calls them to the one that is the way, the truth, and the life. What then is the textual motive of that contentious spirit that intends to open a dialog among the chosen as it intends to message each one that the contentious spirit can question God's calling . And those so called are to defend the charge by the contentious spirit that they are not what it says they are. Mongrel dog's and not Christian. Wonder why believers would entertain the spirit that second guesses God's grace and calling. Because a short search finds the handful of motivated spirits committed to that endeavor repeatedly demonstrate the accusation whenever they oppose the truth of God in scripture and those who defend it against them. That endeavor that judges those to be wolves and non-Christians shall answer to God. Who knows all things and is all things from Alpha unto Omega. Beginning to the end. When he tells me he knows my name before the world came to be, I fear no one calling me anything born from their imagining they are entitled to do so. I am not responsible for what people say or think of me. Those who think and speak are that. And God is watching.
