Hello V
My favourate is this one.
Rev 1 : 17 Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead and behold I am alive for ever and ever! AND I HOLD THE KEYS OF DEATH AND HADES.
At our peril, we call Christ a liar! :D ;D
In blindness there is no light......
Peace be to you

Hi all,
Interesting enough, and while we are all sure that Gods plan is not going to change one iota, and that our "fate" is already sealed, dont go skydiving without a parachute just yet!
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Mat 4:6-7
Surley God knows the hour of our death, but just as surely WE do not!
Sometimes this type of thinking can mess with our reasoning.
No it's not going to change Gods plan, but then again me writing this post isnt by accident either.
Gods knowledge is not our knowledge, we had better heed these words, And not worry about what tommorrow may bring.

Also don't let your "friends" play this game with you either. Nowhere in scripture does is say Jesus used the bathroom, but obviously He did. Just because scripture does not make a statement on something does not make it less true. The sovereignty of God is spoken all through scripture.

Music man Jesus took on human flesh therfore he had human body that functioned just like ours did He even talked about this very subject
(Mat 15:11 CLV) Not that which is entering into the mouth is contaminating a man, but that which is going out of the mouth, this is contaminating a man."
(Mat 15:12 CLV) Then, approaching, the disciples said to Him, "Are you aware that the Pharisees, at hearing the word, are snared?"
(Mat 15:13 CLV) Now He, answering, said, "Every plant which is not planted by My heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
(Mat 15:14 CLV) Leave them! Blind guides are they of the blind! Now if the blind should be guiding the blind, both shall be falling into a pit."
(Mat 15:15 CLV) Now, answering, Peter said to Him, "Decipher for us the parable."
(You see even this particular life event was a parable)
(Mat 15:16 CLV) Yet He said, "Are you also unintelligent at this point?
I love this last line to his disciples and todays readers
(Mat 15:17 CLV) Not as yet are you apprehending that everything that is going into the mouth is becoming the contents of the bowels, and is being evacuated into the latrine?
Your mouth and intestines are in direct contact with the environment and are outside your body (just like skin is)
(Mat 15:18 CLV) Now those things going out of the mouth (vocolazition), out of the heart are coming, and those things are contaminating a man.
(Mat 15:19 CLV) For out of the heart are coming wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, prostitutions, thefts, false testimonies, calumnies.
(Mat 15:20 CLV) These are those which are contaminating a man. Now to be eating with unwashed hands is not contaminating a man."
Now as a physician v 15:20 always bothered me.. not washing your hands can lead to all kinds of food poisoning etc....
but we have to remember that God is in control and we need to think spiritually ...our real bread/meat is spiritual and is from God's Hands which are pure,
In regard to the germ world we live in I now realize that God is in total control and those that get sick from these sort of things are part of his plan too. It use to really puzzle me when people in the course of their day did all kinds of things (baby's eating things off the ground, circumscion tattoo butchering milking animals etc) then and even sometimes now .....that we today would considered them "dirty" pocedures ...
I was amazed that many people (although a few did) that these people did not become badly infected....when scientifically we know that they should have. Make me ponder that God must have somehow either inactivated the germs or increased the immune system of the person etc.
It is hard when we are in the flesh to have to deal with uncomfortable and embarassing topics areas like bowel function etc but the bible is replete with many of them ;D golden hemorrhoids, farts, mensrtural pads etc. It all shows us that God is aware of all of these things too.
I used to think God had a great sense of humor but now I also appreciate the fact that God will use humor as a hook to catch some people's attention and make them ponder or these things or for the many these things become buried questions or doubts in the minds of those who are blind or deaf to His word....they are snares.
And yes I agree with Ray in his emails .....Satan had no penis (not in the scriptures per se. Satan so totally despises and hates human beings that I doubt that he would ever engage in any physical activity with them since he believe that they are inferior to himself.
He can do more damage as an accuser and he has many ways to influence the physical lives of humans ...the demons who serve Satan on the other hand... have possessed folks.

Every thing in the physical is recycled only man is embarressed by it
