Studying Scripture is so magnificent. Thousands of generations have received God's faithful Truth!

It presses me deeply within by recognizing the Virtue In Strength seeing language has evolved so many eras, past and even now In our day, so deep meditation and prayer aids me to hear God's message.

A firm foundation is {'knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture came to be of one's own interpretation, for prophecy never came by the desire of man, but men of Elohim spoke, being moved by the Set-apart Spirit. Kpha Bt (2 Peter) 1:20-21 TS2009}

In John 1:1 ( Gen. 1:1; Rev. 3:14 along side being lead back from Isa. 46:9-10) begins to point out the bigger portrait necessary to come to better understand Him.

Before being born regenerate by (and through) Yeshua, I would read and not understand. Now The Scriptures (Genesis to Malachi) bring clear evidence that caused an ahha moment like Mosheh at the Bush that burned which wasn't consumed. ( Ex. 3:2-4). Isa. 46:10 also renews the mindset as written, {I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to present your bodies a living offering - set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim - your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim. Romiyim (Romans) 12:1-2 TS2009}

because { Messiah is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

Irim (Hebrews) 13:8 TS2009}

among many others brings understanding to Yeshua meaning by the ancient tongue, means Yehovah saves. Showing they are One. ( said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am."). Yohanan (John) 8:58 TS2009

joining God to be understood as ONE {And Elohim said to Mosheh, "I am that which I am." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Yisra'l, 'I am has sent me to you.' "

Dear people,

To everybody who prayed for me in silence.

Thank you very much!

I really needed this and thanks to you and above all our Heavenly Father I start to feel I am getting on the right path again, so I can continue on with my work, God has set out to do for me!

May God our Heavenly Father bless you all!

With kind regards,

Ronald

Dear GiGi,

Thank you for your prayer, I really appreciate it.

This morning I got up and felt something had changed in a positive way, for which I am very happy!

Also the internal dialogue seems to be almost totally gone and I feel I regained a part of myself again.

I also didn't had any sleep paralysis, negative dreams or nightmares.

My body also felt like something had let go and got relieved.

Once again thank you, may the good God, our Heavenly Father bless you!

With kind regards,

Ronald

Dear Jema,

Thank you for your reassuring words and kind insights.

I appreciate this.

This morning I really felt something had changed in a positive way and it seems to stay that way today, for which I am happy!

It gives me the strength to carry on again, so thank you once again and may the good God our Heavenly Father bless you!

With kind regards,

Ronald

to which they are now dead, instead of being dead to the world by it, may be made partakers of the resurrection that is in Christ Jesus, unto newness of life. Rom 6:4 For they that are truly in Christ, that is, redeemed by, and interested in him, are new creatures. Gal 6:15 They have received a new will; such as does the will of God, not their own. They pray in truth, and do not mock God, when they say, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. They have new affections; such as are set on things above, Col 3:1-3 and make Christ their eternal treasure. New faith; such as overcomes the snares and temptations of the world's spirit in themselves, or as it appears through others: and lastly, new works; not of a superstitious contrivance, or of human invention, but the pure fruits of the Spirit of Christ working in them, as love, joy, peace, meekness, long-suffering, temperance, brotherly-kindness, faith, patience, gentleness, and goodness, against which there is no law; and they that have not the Spirit of Christ, and walk not in it, the apostle Paul has told us, are none of his; Rom8:9 but the wrath of God, and condemnation of the law, will lie upon them. For if there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ; who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, which is Paul's doctrine; they that walk not according to that Holy Spirit, by his doctrine, are not in Christ: that is, have no interest in him, nor just claim to salvation by him: and consequently there is condemnation to such.

So that though the unrighteous latitude of their lives be matter of lamentation, as to themselves it is of destruction; yet that common apprehension, that they may be children of God, while in a state of disobedience to his holy commandments; and disciples of Jesus, though they revolt from his cross, and members of his true church, which is without spot or wrinkle, notwithstanding their lives are full of spots and wrinkles; is, of all other deceptions upon themselves, the most pernicious to their eternal condition. For they are at peace in sin, and under a security in their transgression. Their vain hope silences their convictions, and overlays all tender motions to repentance; so that their mistake about their duty to God is as mischievous as their rebellion against him.

Thus they walk on precipices, and flatter themselves, till the grave swallows them up, and the judgments of the great God break their lethargy, and undeceive their poor wretched souls with the anguish of the wicked, as the reward of their work.

VIII. This has been, is, and will be the doom of all worldly Christians: an end so dreadful, that if there were nothing of duty to God, or obligation to men, being a man, and one acquainted with the terrors of the Lord in the way and work of my own salvation, compassion alone were sufficient to excite me to this dissuasive against the world's superstitions and lusts, and to invite the professors of Christianity to the knowledge and obedience of the daily cross of Christ, as the alone way, left by him, and appointed us to blessedness; that they who now do but usurp the name may have the thing; and by the power of the cross,

VII. True it is, They that are born of the flesh, hate and persecute them that are born of the spirit, who are the circumcision in heart. It seems they cannot own nor worship God after her inventions, methods, and prescriptions, nor receive for doctrine her vain traditions, any more than they can comply with her corrupt fashions and customs in their conversation. The case being thus, from an apostate she becomes a persecutor. It is not enough that she herself declines from ancient purity, others must do so too. She will give them no rest that will not partake with her in that degeneracy, or receive her mark. Are any wiser than she, than mother church? No, no: nor can any make war with the beast she rides upon, those worldly powers that protect her, and vow their maintenance against the cries of her dissenters. Apostasy and superstition are ever proud and impatient of dissent: all must conform or perish. Therefore the slain witnesses, and blood of the souls under the altar, Rev6:9 are found within the walls of this mystical Babylon, this great city of false Christians, and are charged upon her, by the Holy Ghost in the Revelation. Nor is it strange that she should slay the servants who first crucified the Lord: but strange and barbarous too, that she should kill her husband and murder her Saviour; titles she seems so fond of, and that have been so profitable to her; and that she would recommend herself by, though without all justice. But her children are reduced so entirely under the dominion of darkness, by means of their continued disobedience to the manifestation of the divine light in their souls, that they forget what man once was, or they should now be; and know not true and pure Christianity when they meet it; yet pride themselves upon professing it. Their measures are so carnal and false about salvation, they call good evil, and evil good; they make a devil a Christian, and a saint a devil.

VI. Let no man deceive his own soul; "grapes are not gathered of thorns, nor figs of thistles:" Matt7:16 a wolf is not a sheep, nor is a vulture a dove. What form, people, or church soever thou art of, it is the truth of God to mankind, that they which have even the form of godliness, but by their unmortified lives, deny the power thereof, make not the true, but false church: which, though she entitle herself the Lamb's bride, or church of Christ, Rev17:5 she is that mystery, or mysterious Babylon, fitly called by the Holy Ghost, the mother of harlots and all abominations: because degenerated from Christian chastity and purity, into all the enormities of heathen Babylon; a sumptuous city of old time, much noted for the seat of the kings of Babylon, and at that time the place in the world of the greatest pride and luxury. As she was then, so mystical Babylon is now the great enemy of God's people.

V. Sin is of one nature all the world over; for though a liar is not a drunkard, nor a swearer a whoremonger, nor either properly a murderer, yet they are all of a church; all branches of the one wicked root; all of kin. They have but one father, the devil, as Christ said to the professing Jews, the visible church of that age: he slighted their claims to Abraham and Moses, and plainly told them "That he that committed sin, was the servant of sin." John 8:34,35. They did the devil's works, and therefore were the devil's children. The argument will always hold upon the same reasons, and therefore good still: "His servants ye are," saith Paul, "whom ye obey:" (Rom. vi. 16:) and saith John to the church of old, "Let no man deceive you; he that committeth sin is of the devil." 1 John3:7,8 Was Judas ever the better Christian for crying, Hail, Master, and kissing Christ? By no means; they were the signal of his treachery; the tokens given by which the bloody Jews should know and take him. He called him Master, but betrayed him; he kissed, but sold him to be killed; this is the upshot of the false Christians' religion. If a man ask them, Is Christ your Lord? they will cry, God forbid else: yes, he is our Lord. Very well; but do you keep his commandments? No, how should we? How then are you his disciples? It is impossible, say they. What! would you have us keep his commandments? No man can. What! impossible to do that without which Christ hath made it impossible to be a Christian? Is Christ unreasonable? Does he reap where he has not sown? Require where he has not enabled? Thus it is, that with Judas they call him Master, but take part with the evil of the world to betray him; and kiss and embrace him as far as a specious profession goes; and then sell him, to gratify the passion that they most indulge. Thus as God said of old, they make him serve with their sins and for their sins too. Isa 43:24

IV. This miserable defection from primitive times, when the glory of Christianity was the purity of its professors, I cannot but call the second and worst part of the Jewish tragedy upon the blessed Saviour of mankind. For the Jews, from the power of ignorance, and the extreme prejudice they were under to the unworldly way of his appearance, would not acknowledge him when he came, but for two or three years persecuted, and finally crucified him in one day. But the false Christians' cruelty lasts longer: they have first, with Judas, professed him, and then, for these many ages, most basely betrayed, persecuted, and crucified him, by a perpetual apostasy in manners, from the self-denial and holiness of his doctrine; their lives giving the lie to their faith. These are they that the author of the epistle to the Hebrews tells us, "Crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame:" Hebrews 6:6 whose defiled hearts John in his Revelation styles, "The streets of Sodom and Egypt, spiritually so called, where also our Lord was crucified." Rev11:8 And as Christ said of old, a man's enemies are those of his own house, so Christ's enemies now are chiefly those of his own profession; they spit upon him, they nail and pierce him, they crown him with thorns, and give him gall and vinegar to drink. Matt27:34 Nor is it hard to apprehend; for they that live in the same evil nature and principle the Jews did, that crucified him outwardly, must needs crucify him inwardly; since they that reject the grace now in their own hearts, are one in stock and generation with the hard-hearted Jews, that resisted the grace that then appeared in and by Christ.

No Cross No Crown William Penn

Though the knowledge and obedience of the doctrine of the cross of Christ be of infinite moment to the souls of men, for that is the only door to true Christianity, and that path the ancients ever trod to blessedness; yet, with extreme affliction let me say, it is so little understood, so much neglected, and what is worse, so bitterly contradicted by the vanity, superstition, and intemperance of professed Christians, that we must either renounce to believe what the Lord Jesus hath told us, that whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after him, cannot be his disciple; Luke 14:27 or, admitting that for truth, conclude, that the generality of Christendom do miserably deceive and disappoint themselves in the great business of Christianity, and their own salvation.

II. For, let us be never so tender and charitable in the survey of those nations that entitle themselves to any interest in the holy name of Christ, if we will but be just too, we must needs acknowledge, that after all the gracious advantages of light, and obligations to fidelity, which these latter ages of the world have received by the coming, life, doctrine, miracles, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, with the gifts of his Holy Spirit; to which add the writings, labours, and martyrdom of his dear followers in all times, there seems very little left of Christianity but the name; which being now usurped by the old heathen nature and life, makes the professors of it but true heathens in disguise. For though they worship not the same idols, they worship Christ with the same heart: and they can never do otherwise, whilst they live in the same lusts. So that the unmortified Christian and the heathen are of the same religion. For though they have different objects to which they do direct their prayers, that adoration in both is but forced and ceremonious, and the deity they truly worship is the god of the world, the great lord of lusts: to him they bow

with the whole powers of soul and sense. What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear? And how shall we pass away our time? Which[3] way may we gather wealth, increase our power, enlarge our territories, and dignify and perpetuate our names and families in the earth? Which base sensuality is most pathetically expressed and comprised by the beloved Apostle John, in these words: "The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," which, says he, "are not of the Father, but of the world, that lieth in wickedness." (1 John, ii. 16.)

III. It is a mournful reflection, but a truth no confidence can be great enough to deny, that these worldly lusts fill up the study, care, and conversation of wretched Christendom! and, which aggravates the misery, they have grown with time. For as the world is older, it is worse; and the examples of former lewd ages, and their miserable conclusions, have not deterred, but excited ours; so that the people of this seem improvers of the old stock of impiety, and have carried it so much further than example, that instead of advancing in virtue upon better times, they are scandalously fallen below the life of heathens. Their high-mindedness, lasciviousness, uncleanness, drunkenness, swearing, lying, envy, backbiting, cruelty, treachery, covetousness, injustice, and oppression, are so common, and committed with such invention and excess, that they have stumbled and embittered infidels to a degree of scorning that holy religion, to which their good example should have won their affections.

River heads require some explanation. Four heads pendant upon the river which shall not yield a satisfactory answer by locating the place names to geography. Instead we need look for significance of the Command number Four. Four signifies Jesus Christ the Word become flesh. Frequently we have a gold rush where the river bed brings gold deposits to surface. "The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold." (Ge.2:11) Hearing of the word of God produces faith.(Ro.10:17). The Spirit gives as to the quality of gold found there. "And the gold of that land is good." Here it is clear what the Spirit is aiming at. It is the most holy faith and it signifies North where the judgment comes from.(Je.1:14). Zion is located there. (Ps.48:2) The Spirit omits altogether what other rivers bring out. There is a gradation that invites comparison to the image in the King's Dream. (Dan.2:32-33)

"This image's head was of fine gold," This fine gold corresponds to the land of Havilah.

"His breast and his arms of silver," is of lesser quality(Ethiopia) "His belly and his thighs of brass,"(Assyria) while "His legs of iron" refers to Assyria (Is.8:7) The Spirit made clear of the folly of Israel in trusting Assyria. Jeremiah also refers to it.(Je.2:18) Historically it has revealed and the Spirit points to the manner the church espoused the moribund Imperial Rome to come into being rather than on the promises of God. This refers"His feet part of iron and part of clay".

I don't see why it should be , if you are doing it as a sport with others and as a way to keep fit it shouldn't be a problem . Just remember that a Christian never initiates violence , what you would be doing is playing a sport with another willing sports person :) .

please remember me and my family in your prayers today

Dear Jimbob , I'm so glad that we have some one like you on here , some one who has done their research and can present all these facts to us . Many years ago I tried one or two other Bible versions but I was so horrified by the discrepancies , that I gave up on them very quickly and haven't read any other version for about 29 years . Please keep up the posts , just because you don't get much feed back , doesn't mean you are not appreciated , you are ! :) .

Ge,2:10-14

"And from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."

Parting of the river into four heads in the parlance of the Spirit is with four directions. In the abstract we came across how God separated the waters above the firmament from waters below.(1:7) Like the sun shining upon the unrighteous and the just alike holiness of God which is perfect makes no distinction with water of life and in four heads what the Spirit signifies is the word of God is for all. "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters," It is sent forth to all. "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" (Ez.33:11) His mercy is at his terms. By refusing truth and refusing to obey his Will no amount Jesus talk shall save foolish shepherds.

North south, east and west have different significance than how we view on the earth. The sun of righteousness does not have to rise on the east as we refer to it in our everyday world. Since the matter directions have been covered we shall attend to v.15

"And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." His stewardship was with regards to his world where he was to discharge his tasks in obedience to His will. Recalling the Isaiah quote the spiritual space of each believer is intended as a place of Rest for God. " Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you."(Is.55:3)

Dear Stehanie,, I am so glad that your tooth pain is gone. Praise the Lord. you have gone through a lot in this way!

I will pray for your Mom.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for causing the pain to depart from Stephanie's tooth. We come to You again to ask You to cause Stephanie's Mom's knee pain to depart also. Bring healing to her knee and guide her in what she should do to rehabilitate her knee . We ask this of You Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Ge.2:8 "Eden"

"And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."

No one has located where Eden is actually but it is no matter. Fellowship of God with Man has an address for which the Spirit has only supplied the Garden as a reference point. The Son represents for us the Man component in the Fellowship so he is assigned Eden as the word of God says, 'The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool."(Is.66:1). Treat it as the kingdom of the dear Son and it explains where our blessings come from.

"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden." This river is associated with Jesus Christ which is how the Spirit has added details to the blessedness of the children of God. In the colloquy with the Samaritan woman he makes clear,"but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." It is provided by the grace of Jesus Christ. In the preceding verse he makes a distinction of the water issuing from his domain to the world of the Sprit, the garden and the water at the Jacob's well. " Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again." ( John 4:13-14) The world of the Samaritan woman may have as with the rural life revolved around the village well but receiving Jesus Christ as the Messiah changed her life forever. Her thirst that was never by sated by water she daily drank from is evident, "The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."(v.15)

The Spirit instructs us that Adam's world was special because God had planted the garden in his Son for Adam and Eve. Everything pertaining to life and godliness was on the house to want some useless advise from the serpent.

The truth of the matter is the river beginning at this point shall continue to the last chapter unbroken. (Re.22:1) This pure water of the river of life also serves as the river of time about which the entire God document is fleshed out.

Is Training Jiu jitsu possibly wrong?

Thank you so much for your prayers! God is so good!!! My tooth pain is completely gone!

I also ask for prayer that my mom's knee pain goes away completely, and she won't have to use her knee brace. Thank you again, and may God bless you!

Another one. Inspired by God, or not?

The KJB says in ( Col 1:14) "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins".

The KJB says we have redemption ((THROUGH HIS BLOOD)) Wouldn't that be a TRUE statement?

The Nasb says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Nasb removes the words (through his blood).

The Niv says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Niv removes the words (through his blood).

The Esv says "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". The Esv removes the words (through his blood).

The Nlt says "who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins". The Nlt removes the words (through his blood).

The Gnt says "by whom we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven". The Gnt removes the words (through his blood).

Should I go on? I really could!

Who would put their trust in a bible that removes the blood of Jesus Christ from this verse?

This is the 3rd post that is without a doubt Biblical proof that modern version bibles are corrupt, and not Inspired by God!

The KJB has again proven itself to be the Inspired Word of God!

( Luke 22:20) Jesus says "Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you".

The word (blood) is #129; it means (the atoning blood of Christ) by implying bloodshed.

Would someone with good intentions remove those words in all those modern version bibles?

Or do you think those bibles are what we are warned about in ( Jer 23:36) and ( 2 Tim 4:3-4)? And maybe even ( 1 Tim 4:1)?

Anybody want to answer those questions?

Truth matters!

Another one! Inspired by God, or not?

The KJB says in ( Jn 7:8) "Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come".

(Jesus say "I go not up YET"

The Nasb says "I am not going up to this feast"...

The Niv says "You go to the festival, I am not going up to this festival"...

The Nlt says "You go on. I'm not going to the festival"...

The Esv says "You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast"...

The Gnt says "You go on to the festival. I am not going to this festival"...

The Csb says "Go up to the festival yourselves. I'm not going up to this festival"...

All these modern version bibles are saying Jesus is a liar.

In verse 10 they say this!

The Nasb says "But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, He Himself also went up"...

The Niv says "However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also"...

The Nlt says "But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went"...

The Esv says "But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up"...

The Gnt says "After his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus also went"...

The Csb says "After his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up"...

Is Jesus a liar? That IS Blasphemy!!

All these modern version bibles are saying Jesus Christ was a liar!!!

The KJB is the only Bible where Jesus said "I go not up yet", NOT UP YET. And then He went, Jesus was NOT A LIAR!

All the other bibles said "I am not going" Then He went! That would make Him a liar!

How could anyone possibly trust a bible that claims Jesus was a liar??

Anybody want to answer that question?

All modern version bibles are corrupt!!

Inspiration of God, or not?

The KJB says in ( Luke 2:33) "And Joseph and his mother marvelled at the things which were spoken of him".

The Nasb says "And his father and his mother were amazed at the things which were being said about him".

The Niv says "The child's father and mother marvelled at what was said about him".

The Esv says "And his father and his mother marvelled at wat was said"...

The Nlt says "Jesus' parents were amazed at what was beng said"...

The Csb says "His father and mother were amazed"...

The Gnt says "The child's father and mother were amazed"...

All these modern version bibles claim that Joseph was the father of Jesus.

Was Joseph the father of Jesus?

That could be considered Blasphemy! Who would trust such a bible as these?

The KJB is the Inspired Word of God!

modern version bibles are NOT Inspired by God?

Good thoughts, Jema. We are hoping Ronald will receive what he needs from the Lord soon.

Amen,

Psalms 18:32

Perfect:

without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely ity, sound, without spot, undefiled,

From tamam; entire (literally, figuratively or morally); also (as noun) integrity, truth -- without blemish, complete, full, perfect, sincerely (-ity), sound, without spot, undefiled, upright(-ly),

what is this to those who continue in sin for life, but regarding iniquity in their hearts, & turn from the Grace of God, Rom 8:2 their prayers are not heard Proverbs 28:9 God is not near them & why? They call not upon Him in Truth, & reject the motions of His Spirit to intercede through them, with sighing & groans that cannot be uttered.

Oh, if they would only open the hearts to the Light of the Truth that shines in their heart, "enlighening their darkness" the blessings & goodness that God has instore for them,

oops, I meant derive, not drive. Typing too fast.

Patience Dear Ronald , wait for the Lord . Maybe you are supposed to be quiet and still at the moment . Don't be afraid of the dreams etc , I went through a similar thing many years ago , disturbing dreams and sleep paralysis , very scarry . All I did was say the Lord's prayer over and over in my mind , it calmed me and I was soon ok. Think about what you are eating and drinking before bed , taking any meds etc . What ever else you do , don't doubt your Heavenly Father and His love for you . He sees you , all day every day He is right there with you . I find I don't sleep at all well if I don't read my Bible just before bed . When I was struggling with the dreams etc , I slept with a small Bible under my pillow , I'm sure that helped me a lot . Relaxation is the key , don't fear anything , you belong to the Great and Only God Almighty , you are His child and He is watching over you . Try to relax and put yourself entirely in His hands . Thank Him every day and say 'Thy will be done ' and mean it when you say it , give yourself over to Him . He won't desert you for a second . Wait for Him , He will put you where you are supposed to be . Do not be afraid .

Hello Ronald.

I am so sorry that you are having such troubles in your thoughts and sleep. Have you talked with your doctor about this? There could be some disfunction going on in your brain in a physical way.

Also, have you spoken to your pastor and/or elders to pray for you? I would suggest this.

I am happy to pray for you.

Dear Heavenly Father, today, in the name of Jesus, we ask that You will heal Ronald in the areas of unwelcome thoughts that are hindering him and also multiple sleep problems that are bothering him, robbing him of sleep and leaving him feeling attacked and unsettled. Father, remove whatever is bringing these things to Ronald, for you are stronger than any illness, disorder, power or principality that can cause these things. You are sovereign over all of these things and we believe that You will help Ronald and bring to Him soundness of mind, purity of thoughts, and restful sleep. Bring Him dreams that honor You and promote spiritual growth. Engage Ronald in healthy thinking and prayer with You as His guide and teacher. Demolish all the wiles of the enemy and bring Ronald peace today and every night and day hereafter. Amen.

Ronald keep us posted on how you are doing. We will continue to pray for you.

Richard,

I agree that we are not competing here. I hope I did not give that impression. I was jesting when I said "Tag-you're it."

It is more like Iron sharpening iron here. We are building one another up in knowledge for what God has revealed about Himself in Scripture. That is wonderful. It would be good to take a few days rest on this. We all need time to digest what is presented in the posts on this forum and take a serious and prayerful look at what people say.

This line of posting is very exciting for me because I love speaking and listening about Who God is in truth, not what we make Him to be in our minds. Scripture reveals His character and we can know that what He says about Himself is true and does not change. We can depend and trust Him because He is faithful to Himself.

I hope your new job works out well for you. Let us know how it goes. Also, how are you feeling since your illness? Have you your strength back? I will continue to pray for your wellness and that you find this new job a good fit for you at this time in your life.
