I suppose I misread your post, glory. Ever since I got here, some arts lady and a wierd guysname joe fransico or something, were quite rude.

Well, truthfully, being a Christian doesn't make one immune from being rude to others but 'arts lady' and 'joe fransico' are usually not guilty of this. I, however, have often gotten carried away and am trying to overcome that. You can learn here and see the 'other side', so to speak. Don't go the Christian bashing route though; it just won't fly. And, on the other hand, believers have to learn to talk to nonbelievers instead of preaching at them. Now....I'm off to take heed of my own advice! :noidea:

Your pearl may not be a pearl if it doesnt test for durability.

May not, of course, but equally may be, if you wish to be logical.

And let me assure you that the pearls of my proofs have endured for a considerable time.

But I have no wish to argue. It is part of my long experience in Christ that there are those who do not wish to be convinced and those who could never be convinced. That's fine with me. I see no point in arguing the case.

What continually surprises me is how many who state they would never be persuaded otherwise than in what they already think, keep challenging those who they say are completely wrong in what they believe. Surely a logical and rational person who was convinced of the futility of an argument would not wish to take part in one.

Between those claiming to be Christian I can understand in depth discussion between them as to what that title means, but for somebody who is adamant that Christianity doesn't make sense to keep arguing with Christians seems to me to be quite foolish, unless they secretly hope one day to be persuaded that it does.

I have no doubt at all, not the slightest, that the love of my Heavenly Father is real, but what others think is entirely up to them. Sad that they never experience the comfort and warmth of that love, and miss out by continually arguing that it does not exist, but that is a personal choice.

.... and a wierd guysname joe fransico or something, were quite rude.

:huh::huh::)

Am Not, Are So, Am Not, Are S...... :thumbsup::noidea::laugh: Sweet Talker.....

;)

Weird And Rude Says, "Ditch That Hair Shirt Cousin And Forget Joesph S. (Either One Of Us) And Chuck Those Books Of Fables And Man's Thoughts Cousin And Read The Book Of John And See The Real LORD Jesus Christ And Believe In Him Only And Be Blessed Beloved".

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." (1 John 2:15-18)

:)

The Truth And The Lie

Anywhere, Everywhere And Forever There Is ONLY One God

"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:" (Mark 12:29)

And Jesus Is Eternal And He Is The ONLY Way, The ONLY Truth And The ONLY Life

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." (Colossians 2:9)

And The LORD Jesus And The Father Are One

"That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." (John 17:21)

But The Lier

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (John 8:44)

Lies And Lies And Lies And Lies And Lies

"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." (Isaiah 14:13-14)

As Do Wicked Men Who For A Short Season Teach The Lie Of Millions And Millions Of Gods And Who Like Their Evil Master Brag They Will Be Like The LORD Most High

"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch." (Malachi 4:1)

:)

No Church Of Man, No Philosophy Of Man, No False God, No Scientific Sounding Fable Will Save A Man From The Wages Of His Sin

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

Only The Pure Blood Of The Lamb Of God Can Wash Our Sins Away

"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood," (Revelation 1:5)

If We Would But Drop Our Pride And Believe

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)

See Jesus And Believe

:)

And Be Blessed Beloved

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. (Numbers 6:24-27)

Love, Joe

Well, congratulations Ateam! After billions of years you have accomplished the unaccomplishable....by sitting there at your computer, and having the intelligence to use it, you have proven God's existence. How else would you explain the unbelievably complex and unique being known as 'Ateam'? :emot-prettywink:

EDIT: Ateam, with manners like that, I give you a prognosis of about half a week.

Looks like glory as well? Like terrorist need Islam to validate their murderous ways, all I need is a christain badge to flaunt around here to validate my rude manner.

I fail to see how MY post was rude, Ateam. Are you not sitting there at your computer, with the intelligence to use it, and are you not unique among the 6+ billion inhabitants of this planet? Btw, making a corelation between Christians and islamic terrorists is not the way to make your point. Consider your readers, my friend. :emot-highfive:

i feel sorry for ateam. he has a pretty big chip on his shoulder that someone must have gave him. :18:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
