Hi Nick.

Psalm 103:9: ‘He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.’

That is a good verse Ed.

“My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world my attendants would fight that I might not be betrayed to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from here.”

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”

“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever” (Eccl 1:4)

Ed, we have already discussed this.

It means “the preceding generations are forgotten.”

…3 What advantage does man have in all his work Which he does under the sun? A generation goes and a generation comes, But the earth remains forever. Also,…[Read more]

And to me that makes sense, and Jesus had the same attitude. His kingdom was not of this world. He said that those who love the world and the things of the world do not know God. Because if we know God, the only love we have for the world is a compassion for the suffering.

Silouan the monk said the soul that has come to know God fully no longer desires anything else, nor does it attach itself to anything on the earth, and if you put before it a kingdom, it would not desire it, for the love of God gives such sweetness and joy to the soul that even the life of a king can no longer give it any sweetness.

Thanks for that T8, but I didn’t post it, someone else did. I was trying to find it for my son to watch. But it’s all good. If I find I’ll let you know. I’ll search Youtube

Very true Gene. Forums can be good, or could be great if managed the right way and so long as the members are understanding.

Facebook, scrabble, world news and weather, photos etc are all too distracting though, at least for me. They take the focus off God, and I see them as a very cunning (satanic), anti Godly manipulation which is very hard to…[Read more]

Hi Nick.

The lake of fire is the second death. Death as the absence of life. There is no resurrection from the second death it is permanent. The penalty of sin is death but the gift of God is life eternal without pain and suffering in the presence of God Almighty. Amen.

We strive for perfection in all the wrong ways. Because perfection is from the heart.

Hi Gene yes.

You can’t fear God in an unhealthy way if you know God as love.

It was years ago, like maybe several years

Hi T8 no that’s not it. It was a shorter video and I think it had no talking, only pictures and perhaps background music. It showed pictures of repeated spirals in nature?

The teaching of human beings being tormented in eternal torment by an unloving and unforgiving god causes so many to turn away from the True God as he is constantly blasphemed. Anyone preaching a Christ and God without love, power and empathy turns people away, as does judgment.

1st John 4: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out…[Read more]

Thanks Princess. Still no luck. Do you remember the video?

Ed, how Father is in heaven but reachable as if right here through His Spirit.

Hi Gene, yes, and not everyone has the connection to God’s Spirit.

Hi Nick. An increase in knowledge –  it depends what the knowledge is of and where it’s from.

I’m glad I increased in knowledge from God compared to what little I knew beforehand.

I’m glad I increased in knowledge of peace from where I was…

I’m glad to have increased in work knowledge. I keep kids safer in a way.

However, too much knowledge…[Read more]
