Excellent scriptures, Keith! I'm following along….Thank you,Mandy

Hi Sis,Peter tells us that THOUSANDS were “added to their numbers daily of those who were being saved….” I sincerely doubt that they could lay hands on every one?

Nick you have a valid point.We serve a jealous God!  He will not give his glory to another (including Jesus).Jesus deserves honor and glory as being the only begotten Son.  But the Father alone is the one to be praised as the Most high God!

Quote (Lightenup @ June 25 2008,13:16)Yes Adam,He is a wonderful Father to His children.  Those two sons and their little sister were all baptized together last Sunday.  I have been so blessed!Oh my goodness! What a great testimony to the Lord. I know that water baptism has been of recent debate here (whether or not we need to do it), but I s…[Read more]

Adam,I am trying to counter what DK is saying. He believes that God is the one who truly sacrificed and Jesus was merely the “thing” sacrificed (as he is now using “money” as a parallel example of Christ's sacrifice).God was the giver of the sacrificial lamb in Jesus Christ. As a parent I am aware of what this would mean. However my point is…[Read more]

Any new thoughts on this topic?Jesus said to those who seemed to be on his side (doing great works of the church), “Depart from me, I never knew you….”. What sin do you think they chose that led to death? Could the sin that leads to death be pride?

If Jesus couldn't have walked away from the cross……….his going to the cross was not a true sacrifice.Just thinking out loud.Mandy

I am grateful for; recovery, baseball, summer break with my kids, stary nights, my puppy, pain medication (my knee is killing me), friends, Heaven Net (back online), and new gifts of faith.Along our walkway to the house I have a little iron saying that is attached to a stake that says, “Gratitude”. My daughter has painted rocks and placed them at…[Read more]

Jesus is our example.Jesus was water baptized.Jesus was not into symbolism or traditions of men!

Quote (Cato @ June 21 2008,02:45)It is my opinion that Jesus lived not to save us from death and wash away with his blood our sins, but to teach us a way to our own spiritual transformation.  As far as his death it was a means to show in a very blunt and dramatic way a deeper truth that all who would advance on a path of spiritual evolution must…[Read more]

Catching up…..Kathi, will pray for your son's recovery that it goes well and FAST!Irene, will also join you in praying for Samuel. So many are hurt by our declining economy and the gas prices are killing many vacation plans! Little towns that thrive on tourism will be hurting in the next few months.

No problem.The only reason I knew what was happening was because I emailed Nick.

Quote (Cato @ June 24 2008,06:04)Jesus came to show us the way we need to travel ourselves not take the journey for us.Cato,Something to consider if you take the bible at it's word or as a useful inspired offering:Hebrews 2:10, 11In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the…[Read more]
