God sets high standards. But he also offers to bring us up to those levels if we would only submit to him. As we open ourselves to his love, we reflect his holiness and his righteousness to a sin-wracked world. The problems come when we get smug about our lofty positions and think we got there through our own goodness.

They could have walked with the Father, if they had seen through their 'father in the word"

I generally use my eyes.

Roy I think it is time to take off the rabbit ears.

What does he have to explain anyway?

Roy You should really read the Bible. As Raf pointed out on another thread, two people can have a ministry going on at the same time. There were more than one prophet at work in Israel in the OT. The same is true in the church Paul and Peter had different ministries going on at the same time.

Roy I will have to doubt your supposed messages from Jesus Christ since they contradict scripture. Jesus said not to add or take away. And no, a union of the heart is not a legal union. Marriage has to be a public act done in the eyes of others. Israel had ceremonies, all cultures have ceremonies, what you are proposing is chaos. Or Vegas.

People never though the messiah was coming the first time, so it is no surprise that some do not think he is coming back. But look at the signs and see if they do not point to the events in Daniel and Revelation.

Posted July 15, 2005 18:23 Fish your tagline: if there is a god he's got a lot of explaining to do. -Dennis Leary What's the context of Leary's statement and what do you think he means?

I think it began when he was baptized. Roy, most scholars believe he was 30 when this happened. In one sense he has been ministering since he created the world in the first place and has had conversations with men during the OT times.

A different slant, Lindy? Nah, no way --> I understand we see it differently. I am taking a new look at this and I see how God is sovereign and lives on a different plane than we. When I say He lives for Himself, I am not saying he is conceited like we would say of some human who did the same thing. No, he is so holy and pure and loving that he would only live for something that meets those criteria. That he chooses to impart his glory to people should make us all come to our knees in awe. So while I am far from perfect, I am learning that is he I should live for. He is my father and my master. Who else is worthy of my affection?

When we live for ourselves, the results are bad. But, God who is pure, lives for Himself, he radiates His Glory in all His creation. So when we live for Him, His glory shines through us, allowing us to be a blessing to others and having that glory reflect back to Him.

Welcome to the cafe, Patriot. If you stay around long enough, you'll "see" just how blind TWI has been for decades. Anyway, how do you like your coffee?

It's either Dolenz or the unfrozen caveman lawyer of SNL fame.

They want pro players to play. Do they want another American dream team to destroy all foreign competition. No, wait, that's the U.S. womens' softball team.

welcome Blu We all got ground up with twi think. You'll find help here. Has anyone offered her some coffee?

Actually many white people know these truths. But science has determined that it Jefferson's brother who has sired those interracial children.

I won't see it because I don't like TC. but for those who have, were V or Independence Day better than this?

There was a muscial dramatization that came out in the late 70s with Richard Burton. I think Ric Waite did the score. It was cool. The moody blues had a single called Forever Autumn from the album.

Let's not forget the Ron Ely Tarzan movies.

Talented Mr. Ripley? or Nip/Tuck?
