Thanx

Hey Manonthecross,

LOL man you got me figured wrong, anyway I appreciate the kind words and the encouragement as to how you meant it bro... though I thought you might be a sis? I saw you sign off as Tom, so Im not sure whether to kiss you are give you a pat on the back (laughing)

You wrote,
I thought on one of the earlier threads where some were giving their ages, you were a twenty something. 


Nah , thats about as long as I have been drawn to the Lord. My age "in the Lord" so to speak, if there is such a thing.

Your 55!  Wow! You ARE up there with the "Ancient of days" LOL (just busting on you). I'm right behind you, aint much of a difference no more Im thinking round my age and yours

I wrote (quotes arent working here)
I think the flame the rich man was in torment of was his own tongue. I suppose we learn through "flare ups" as well as a consuming of ones "increase"

You said
Do you mean increase of oneself?

I reply,

Well not exactly on that particular thought. On that one I was thinking on a "loss" there. Its scriptural to suffer a loss right?

Think of RICH man, He SAYETH He is RICH, not realizing he is poor. One man maketh himself RICH yet has NOTHING. Then because he SAYETH, (theres the TONGUE) which is a FIRE which maketh GREAT BOASTS right? I INCREASE IN GOODS (Im Rich) Its "The pride that goeth before destruction". It seems connected to the rooting out of ones increase.

Job 31:12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

Catch a glimpse of that? Or did that make sense as I was kinda seeing it? Just in that particular case as I saw it. Actually it was one of those things I caught sight of that put a bit of fear in me to consider my way before Him. It had become a great help to me personally.

Peace to you

Daniel

Daniel,

Actually, both my husband & I are mannonthecross-we post together usually. You know when you get up to this age, it takes two brains to equal one.  :D

Thanx for your replies & input. Good study material!

Blessings,
Tom & Marianne

If I asked your two boys to play baseball with me in your front yard, and one of them hit a ball and broke your window, I would be responsible for the action that caused the window to be broken, but the boy that broke it would be held accountable for the broken window.

I don't know, maybe that is too overly simplified, but it does show that the two words are not exactly synonymous.

In this case tho, It would be God who would be actually causing you, on purpose, to break the window.
So He was responsible, but the kid (you, me) will end up paying to fix it.

Hello,

This one verse really sums up Gods Responsiblity :

Romans 8:20 For the creature [mankind] was made subject to vanity,[sin] not willingly, but by reason of him [God] who hath subjected the same in hope,

We were created subject to sin..Not Willingly... But by God.
Again this is HOW God creates man in his image..

Pretty cool !
