Joe, would I not be attempting to change the atmosphere here with, nonsense talk and scripture not going together ? my nature does not work that way, it is impossible for me to hate someone over the net, now that is funny!! lol

Hi Ricky,
Who mentioned hate? Your statement;
"Hate? on the internet, sorry Joe,"
Why put my name in association of what you yourself wrote? Please, if you (or anyone) responds to something anybody writes keep the commentary within the parameters of what they actually wrote.
Peace,
Joe

I think alot of this comes from lack of voice and in seeing ones expressions. I just want to learn and grow. I know in alot ways I have grown. I guess coming out of Babylon just gives me such a feeling of compassion on the lost. I mean the whole world is deceived, except for the elect. I know it is Gods plan, but I am sure we will be using compassion if we are chosen.
In His Love,
Marlene

Thanks for the kind words Marlene, I understand what you are saying about those who have yet to have their eyes opened but this is not something we need to fret over, it is in God's most capable hands.
One thing that Babylon does that truly identifies her is looking outward for the beast, antichrist, the lost, etc. and of course they believe the "winning of souls" is their responsibilty, not God's. These fallacies should be far removed from our thoughts.
Our battle is within, we don't overcome the world no mere man does, it is Christ who does the overcoming, please take peace from this not anxiety as we are God's creation not our own.
His Peace to you Sister,
Joe
Marlene:
Joe, and Rodger, You both are right. I need to focus on his truths. I can't save the world. I can only Love them.
In His Love,
Marlene
Beloved:
(Heb 4:7) again He designates a certain day, "Today," saying in David, after such a long time just as it has been said, "Today if you* hear His voice, stop hardening your* hearts [fig., becoming stubborn]." [Psalm 95:7,8]
Whenever the word of God is speaking we need to be humble and bending in spirit
(Heb 4:12) For the word of God [is] living and effective and sharper than every double-edged sword, and [is] penetrating as far as [the] division of both soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and [is] able to discern [the] thoughts and intentions of the heart [fig., inner self].
(Heb 4:13) And no created thing is able to be hidden before Him, but all [things are] naked and have been exposed to His eyes to whom we [must give] an account.
Jeus himself dealth with unbelief and the false doctrines purpretrated by Judaism .
I do not see any person assuming that they are more superior...what I see is the need to always be challenging is their doctrines.
We know that all will be saved but their doctrines will be burnt like chaff.
Do we want it done now or later?
(1Pe 1:13) Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;(1Pe 1:14) As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
(1Pe 2:1) Therefore, having put aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all slanders,
(1Pe 2:2) as newborn babies long for the spiritual, pure milk, so that you* shall grow by it,
(1Pe 2:3) if indeed you* tasted [fig., experienced] that the Lord [is] gracious.
I am going to take this time and contemplate on His Word
beloved

Forgive the interruption of an "old mountain woman" here. I feel unworthy to speak at times because I feel like I don't know as much as others do although I am trying to read and learn. I understand about giving that was mentioned earlier in the post, with your heart and not for something back. I will not judge anyone on that because that is what I did as well. I also do not believe that churches do right by the offerings of the members. I would prefer to see the money help others. Now, I don't go to church but I take what I have and try to help others. I don't have much money at all but I do believe that God takes kind words and deeds as an offering to Him... not a bunch of elders or what not. We are brothers and sisters in the truth. Sometimes when I was young me and my brother would get into it but it never changed the love we had for one another. Likewise here I think we can talk and discuss... maybe even disagree but still love one another. Blessings to ya'll this beautiful day, Jennie
