Tithing incident at laudromat
Bradigans:
I use to get so offended because of folks strong will determination to tithe even after presented with the scriptures. Jesus did say in John 10:27- My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.John 10:5 - And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.I am also learning that it only by grace that ye are saved through faith and if you're a part of the called and elect, it's no merit of your own. Before Jesus even said it was finished, it was already done before the foundation of the world. If you are His sheep, it's only because of His grace.

He chooses us. We can not will not and don't want to choose Him that's why we get dragged! ;D

Amen! I still try to have my own agenda at times, and He thwarts it off somehow. I thought it was coincidence, but it happens time after time after time. It's amazing, though it gets frustrating to me. We indeed have to be dragged. I think it's like He told Paul in Acts 9:5 - It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.I know that if I'm His child, it's not because of anything in me. I'll rationalize in a minute, and have been rationalizing all my life. I'm hopeful to get over this sickness someday. I can still feel its plague within me. It's hell alone denying oneself. It's probably not me, but Him in me I hope. But it's still hellish. We do indeed have a cross to bear. This world doesn't make it easy either.

Why would they object? They don't care about the bible, and what it says in there; tithe don't tithe. It's a who cares for them.
However, try making a drawing/cartoon of Terrorist-Pedophile False Prophet Mohammed and watch how crazy they get, and start killing
and blowing things up.

I disagree with you there. I believe Islam is.

Hello Bradigans
That scripture you posted also translates as follows : And Saul said, Who are You Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting.
I find it interesting that Ray notes in LOF part 15, the following : Where does all power in heaven and earth come from? "…from ABOVE." Therefore, man is subject to the power that enables him to do things, and as we have already seen, man has no power to do anything except what God has already determined that he WILL DO, and MUST DO.
I think this shows just how powerful God is and that truly we should rever HIM because He is the author of our faith and HE puts us through what He sees we require to perfect and purify us!
I enjoyed contemplating that scripture you posted Brandigans.
Sorin : Here is the truth. about the throne room of Satan. As for Islam, they too believe in Hell. "Muslims believe that after facing the Judgment of Allah (God), people will be either admitted to Heaven by His mercy, or entered into Hell by His justice."
To quote Ray's teaching :
Now then, as the false apostles, and lying Jews, and synagogue of Satan are all located in the Church, where do you suppose we would find Satan’s throne, and Satan’s dwelling place to be located? Yes, that’s right: In the Church. Here is the Scriptural proof found in the messages to the church at Smyrna and Pergamos:
"Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison…" (Rev. 2:10).
"I know your works and where you dwell, even where [the same place where] Satan’s seat [Greek: throne] is… were Satan [also] dwells" (Rev. 2:13).
Satan cannot imprison members of the Church unless Satan is in the Church. His throne is in the Church. His dwelling place is in the Church.. His synagogue is in the Church.
And think not that Satan merely makes an occasional visit to the Church. No, Satan is permanently in the Church until God removes him. The Greek word from which the translators give us "dwelleth" in the KJV is kataoideo, and it’s meaning is: "To house permanently" (Strong’s Greek Dictionary, page 136). Satan not only has his false apostles in the Church, and his congregation of unconverted lying Jews in the Church, and his synagogue in the Church, and his very throne in the Church, but Satan himself dwells permanently in the Church.
