You're fruit shows your tree for what it is.You may have some truth brother, but what you really need is a heart for the Lord Jesus.Shaking head……..sigh………I love you, Ken. God bless you today as you seek him.

Mrs.,You know, we never know when the Father will call us home. I'm fairly young (although approaching the moment of realizing that I have lived more years than I have a head of me probably), but I was in a car accident back in 2005 that aidworker's and firemen called a “fatality accident scene”. In other words, I should be died right now. But…[Read more]

Ken,I notice that when you address your brother Gene, and you are closing your post, you leave out the “l” for love.  You just sign it, “IHN, Ken.”  When most other times you sign it, “IHN&L, Ken.”  May I gently remind you that you may keep the Sabbath all you want, but if you have not love for your brother – you do not love God.1 John 3:10This is…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Sep. 19 2007,13:25)Some of the suffering that I have been through obviously was because of my mistakes especially losing my job as a branch bank manager. But if I had not lost the job, I would have never had to settle for the security job where I was able to witness to him, and he may not have been saved. What I have been…[Read more]

Sister Jodi,Your post on the Sabbath has really cinched-up the subject for me. So much of what you have shared has been exactly what I have been studying and learning. I believe I will leave this thread and continue studying on my own…..I believe I am on the right track now. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this topic! I've enjoyed…[Read more]

Quote (Laurel @ Sep. 19 2007,06:57)Not3,Your “therory” isn't working is it, for if it were true, then you would “remember” to keep the Sabbath days, for they were Se-apart at creation and have always been there for us.Like Jodi said, the Torah is for instruction. YHWH gave it to His people, all of it. If you do not look fot the truth in the Torah,…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Sep. 19 2007,09:19)The people he spoke with already knew at least the 10 commandments, so he would not have to “summarize” them.Ah, yes, good point! Thanks for that KJ.Did Paul ever summarize them?

Quote (kenrch @ Sep. 19 2007,05:30)Again and again LOVE= Keeping His Commandments.This is very profound.I believe this is where the confusion lies. We are not talking about the 10 Commandments here, we are talking about the 2 the Jesus said everything else hangs on. And those two are to love God, and to love others.So, I agree that:Love=keeping…[Read more]

Laurel,You should not be so brazen as to tell a fellow believer that they seek the “image of the beast.”  Not when they have displayed an honest seeking-out of the LORD.  Jodi's finding's do not suggest that she is looking to the beast, but rather to our dear Father who is in heaven; to whom she stands or falls (and she will stand).  Her fi…[Read more]

Good morning Jodi and all,I am encouraged to see how you have studied, and how well you are able to write down an organized summary of everything for us. I need to be more patient in my study and make clearer notes. Your post has encouraged me to do this.Quote Our goal is to become like Jesus, to be the image of God. First we have to learn that…[Read more]

Sorry all – we've gotten off the subject of birthday and Christimas celebrations.Stu, reply on another more appropriate thread and I'll find it. Thanks.
