No one is perfect,
EXCEPT GOD.
We all struggle daily just to abide by the 10 commandments.
Yet, in one form or another we all break them. Daily most likely.
Point is, we need Jesus-Daily. His Holy Spirit to enlighten us of our wicked,evil deeds. To be able to pray to our mediator Jesus to which he brings forth our supplications to the Father.
Who seeing his blood, forgive us lowly sinners. =/
The only way to understand, and need God is through the truine deity in equality of the trinity. FATHER/SON/HOLYGHOST.
1JOHN5:7 ...THESE 3 ARE 1.
Before Abraham was, I AM. -Jesus
"Forgive us Lord. Forgive ME Jesus." amen.
Also,
Calvinism...is a mockery of the cross and Jesus, oh ya, and the Holy Spirit as well.
Seeing that neither 2 of the trinity is needed.
what you say?
Ya.
Calvinism teaches God (the Father) ALONE... chose who goes to heaven, and who goes to hell.
Saying the Holy Spirit (being born again) is not necessary.
THE *CROSS is foolishness to those that are perishing.
Hi ceedeex
Here is the overall issue at hand.
EITHER:
1)The bible (KJV) is the WORD OF GOD
2)It is not.
In the pages of scripture, God has choosen...to reveal that mankind does infact have freewill.
So.....If you believe that God exists in the first place, then certainly he has control as to ALLOW freewill.
Seriously though, the issue is rejecting the authority of the Word of God-bible.
God’s Love: The Biblical Presentation
(It is fearful to realize the God of love is also the God of judgement, righteousness, and truth) being no respector of persons.
The modern message of the gospel is "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." However, our idea of "wonderful" and the world’s may be a little different. Take a sinner through the pages of the Book of Acts and show him the terrifying scene of boulders breaking the bones of Stephen. Then smile and whisper, "Wonderful..." Listen together to the sound of a cat-o’-nine-tails as it rips the flesh off the back of the apostle Paul. Follow together the word "suffering" through the Epistles, and see if you can get the world to whisper, "Wonderful!"
After such a ride down Honesty Road, they may think the pleasures of sin are a little more attractive than the call to "suffer affliction with the people of God." John MacArthur said, "We need to adjust our presentation of the gospel. We cannot dismiss the fact that God hates sin and punishes sinners with eternal torment. How can we begin a gospel presentation by telling people on their way to hell that God has a wonderful plan for their lives?"
Who in the world is going to listen if we are so blatantly honest about the Christian life? Perhaps not as many as are attracted by the talk of a wonderful plan. However, the answer to our dilemma is to make the issue one of righteousness, rather than happiness. This is what Jesus did. He used the Ten Commandments to show sinners the righteous standard of God (Luke 10:25,26; 18:18– 0). Once the world sees the perfect standard by which they will be judged, they will begin to fear God, and through the fear of the Lord, men depart from sin (Proverbs 16:6). They will begin to hunger and thirst after the righteousness that is in Jesus Christ alone.
If you study the New Testament you will see that God’s love is almost always given in direct correlation to the cross: herein is love, for God so loved, God commended His love, etc. (See John 3:16; Romans 5:5,6,8; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2:4,5; 5:2,25; 1 John 3:16; 4:10; and Revelation 1:5, among others.) The cross is the focal point of God’s love for the world. How can we point to the cross without making reference to sin? How can we refer to sin without the Law (Romans 7:7)?
The biblical way to express God’s love to a sinner is to show him how great his sin is (using the Law—see Romans 7:13; Galatians 3:24), and then give him the incredible grace of God in Christ. This was the key to reaching so many on the Day of Pentecost. They were "devout" Jews who knew the Law and its holy demands, and therefore readily accepted the mercy of God in Christ to escape its fearful wrath. When you use the Law to show the world their true state, get ready for sinners to thank you. For the first time in their lives, they will see the Christian message as an expression of love and concern for their eternal welfare, rather than of merely proselytizing for a better lifestyle while on this earth.
God being omniscent,
allows HIM to be able to see the end from the beginning.
It is simular to looking at a parade from the air.
You can see where the parade starts, and where it eventually will end up.
There are 2 paths only.
If we do NOTHING...we remain on the road to hell.
If we follow that which is in the scriptures wholeheartedly we have an opportunity to receive 4giveness of sins (1John 1:9)
like me typing this sentence....or not.
ABSOLUTES EXIST.
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE, THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES?
Hi ceedeex,
no can opened that hasnt been already. =]
I like to use simple logic, really.
God gave us the 10 COMMANDMENTS.
THOU SHALT NOT....
10 of them, right. OK.
*AND YET.....we have been able to break every single one of them.
Therefore either:
1) (g)OD is a liar, (Titus 1:2) says cannot lie.
2) FREEWILL EXISTS.
And God wants people to love him, becuase he first loved us.
THERE IS NO LOVE, WITH NO FREEWILL.
It is true.
If.......we are not aware of the devils devices we will be fooled.
It is good to help, win people over to the Lord, but our own freewill choices overide even logic at times, when rejecting truth.
THANKS FOR THE POST, MrSparex.

The Love of God
Imagine a place on the earth that never saw the sun. Day in, day out, it is covered with thick clouds. From the time a person was born until the time he died he never saw even a glimpse of the sun. Suppose you visited this place and tried to convince the inhabitants of the reality, the beauty, and the power of the sun. “Where I come from,” you say, “a huge yellow ball rises up over the sea each day and floats across the sky, no strings attached, giving warmth and light to those upon the earth. The reason you don’t experience it is because you are cut off from it by the clouds.” Although the thought may seem fantastic to those people, the fact that they don’t believe in it does not change the reality that it exists.
Never Fear Hecklers
The best thing that can happen to an open-air meeting is to have a good heckler. Jesus gave us some of the greatest gems of Scripture because someone either made a statement or asked a question in an open-air setting. A good heckler can increase a crowd of 20 people to 200 in a matter of minutes. The air becomes electric. Suddenly, you have 200 people listening intently to how you will answer a heckler. All you have to do is remember the attributes of 2 Timothy 2:23–26: be patient, gentle, humble, etc. Don’t worry if you can’t answer a question. Just say, “I can’t answer that, but I’ll try to get the answer for you if you really want to know.” With Bible “difficulties,” I regularly fall back on the powerful statement of Mark Twain: “Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they don’t understand, but for me I have always noticed that the passages that bother me are those I do understand.”
A “good” heckler is one who will provoke your thoughts. He will stand up, speak up, then shut up so that you can preach. Occasionally, you will get hecklers who have the first two qualifications, but they just won’t be quiet. If they will not let you get a word in, move your location. Most of the crowd will follow. Better to have 10 listeners who can hear than 200 who can’t. If the heckler follows, move again...then the crowd will usually turn on him.
One ploy that often works with a heckler who is out solely to hinder the gospel is to wait until he is quiet and say to the crowd (making sure the heckler is listening also), “I want to show you how people are like sheep. When I move, watch this man follow me because he can’t get a crowd by himself.” His pride usually keeps him from following.
If you have a “mumbling heckler” who won’t speak up, ignore him and talk over the top of him. This will usually get him angry enough to speak up and draw hearers. There is a fine line between him getting angry enough to draw a crowd, and hitting you; you will find it in time.
If you are fortunate enough to get a heckler, don’t panic. Show him genuine respect, not only because he can double your crowd, but because the Bible says to honor all men, so you don’t want to offend him unnecessarily. Ask the heckler his name, so that if you want to ask him a question and he is talking to someone, you don’t have to say, “Hey you!”
Often, people will walk through the crowd so they can get close to you and will whisper something like, “I think you are a #@*!$!” Answer loud enough for the crowd to hear, “God bless you.” Do it with a smile so that it looks as though the person has just whispered a word of encouragement to you. This will stop him from doing it again. The Bible says to bless those who curse you, and to do good to those who hate you.
Remember that you are not fighting against flesh and blood. Hecklers will stoop very low and be cutting and cruel in their remarks. If you have some physical disability, they will play on it. Try to smile back at them. Look past the words. If you are reviled for the name of Jesus, “rejoice, and be exceeding glad.” Read Matthew 5:10–12 until it is written on the corridors of your mind.
The most angry hecklers are usually what we call “backsliders.” These are actually false converts who never slid forward in the first place. They “asked Jesus into their heart” but never truly repented. Ask him, “Did you know the Lord?” (see Hebrews 8:11). If he answers “Yes,” then he is admitting that he is willfully denying Him, and if he answers “No,” then he was never a Christian in the first place—“This is eternal life, that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). See 1 Corinthians 2:4 footnote.
It will be with our lives.
Already daily, I can see the pulling away of Godly actions, for the worlds illusions.
Very important post excel.
AMEN.
This does imply to us believers.
Stay.....blessed.

really worth watching.
Hi ceedeex,
Welcome my friend.
Good to hear your ideas.
well....that logic is the same as saying:
You were only supposed to type me a message, but I wasnt supposed to understand it. Kinda futile you think?
God wills that none perish but come to repentance through Jesus.
Yes, there are 2 paths, and 2 final destinations.
It is our own FREEWILL that determines the RECEIVING factor of the free gift. =]
Stick around....love to talk, Godbless you as you seek the truth.

Judging someone,
Today we hear everywhere that we are not supposed to judge anyone.
The ironic thing is:
THAT VERY STATEMENT IS JUDEGMENTAL.
A person saying that is TELLING YOU, to that your OPINION ONLY does NOT matter.
If I saw your car double parked and you littered, and I walked up to you and gave you a $2,000 Fine For BREAKING THE LAWS IN AUTHORITY...would you be offended?
You could not. Because transgression of the law IS wrong, we all know this.
*Heres the issue at hand.
Do I have the authority to judge or to WARN ONLY?
1)Since I am not God, than I have no means possible to judge(that is pass a sentence requiring you to fulfill it)
AS IN SEND YOU TO HELL IN TORMENT ETC ETC ETC.
2)That means with this stated, IF.......
I was to merely WARN YOU that by YOU breaking the law , I am actually being the best friend I could be.
If I adviced you to repark, and pick up the piece of paper so you will NOT BE JUDGED, BY HE WHO CAN PASS AUTHORITY/SENTENCE UPON YOU.
**It is the biggest copout (pun intended) when a person uses the line.
The truth of the matter is God tells us to judge, but to judge righteously. We are to warn our brothers of their errors, and bring them back to the path (which is narrow/without ROOM FOR SIN), and to the steps of grace and 4giveness. James 5:19,20
BTW...when we do judge/WARN that is, of others wrong doing, the bible is a 2 edged sword. It cuts us deep also.
Reminding us of the grace and mercy and 4giveness we have received.
***THE POINT IS THIS.
Do not allow a fellow brother, or a non believer to continue in false doctrines and doctrines of deamons taking themselves and others to hell with them.
If we are more concerned about loosing a "friendship", than to tell each other the truth, WHO REALLY IS/IS NOT THE FRIEND?
Godbless each one of us as we seek the truth through his word/Jesus and the guiding of The Holy Spirit.
The Key
Back in the Old West, a number of men were upstairs in a boarding house amusing themselves with a game of cards when there was a cry from the street below of “Fire! Fire!” The men looked at one another in disbelief. One of the windows grew orange with the flames. “Wait!” said the dealer. “Let’s just finish this hand; we’ve got plenty of time—I have a key to the back door.” The men nodded in approval, then quickly picked up the dealt cards.
Precious minutes passed. One of the men became nervous as the flames licked through the now broken window. With darting eyes and a sweat-filled brow, he asked for the key.
“Coward!” muttered the dealer as he tossed across the key. Each of them then rushed to the door and waited with bated breath as the key was placed into the lock. “It won’t turn!” was the cry. “Let me have it!” said the dealer. As he tried in vain to turn the key, he whispered in horror, “It’s the wrong key!”

FORBES LISTS HOLLYWOOD'S RICHEST YOUNG STARS
If the tabloids are to be believed, Hollywood's young stars are in big trouble. Each day brings new tales -- and the pictures to prove it -- of junior VIPs, bereft of adult supervision, engaged in drinking, hard partying and the kind of sexual exploits typically reserved for pay-per-view.

God is the God of all.
All are equal in His site, who ask for forgiveness.
God wills none perish, but all come to repentance.
Be blessed today. Be made whole, and right with the Lord.
Jesus and Paul (by Dan corner)
The Lord Jesus shocked the unbelieving Jews in his day when he identified himself as the YHWH of the OT by identifying himself as the "I am" that appeared to Moses in Ex. 3:13,14. That OT Scripture reads:
Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.' "
Jesus revealed his identity, as he stated that he himself spoke to Moses at John 8:58:
"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
Then later, the Apostle Paul stated the following:
They [the Israelites] were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. (1 Cor 10:2-4)
If you would read through the OT, YHWH is shown to be the rock:
I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. (Deut. 32:3,4)
The question is, who do YOU say HE IS?
People forget...
God. He is watching also.
ETERNITY......see ya all around. (Message board)
Thankyou for the post,
Some people are not even aware of such things.
Yes its been an interesting week for the market/world economy.
Keep up the DD, and info that affects us all.
The point, that by looking at life, events as they are now... you can see the sure fulfilling of scripture in the near future.
Not in its entirety of course, since there is still a minimum of 1007 years left of life on earth. The 1k reighn, and the 7 years of Jacobs Trouble preceding the earthly reighn of Jesus Christ.
Excel,
You are right.
Keep being a good example for your family and others.
Let us know how your ekg results turn out as well.
