I believe the phrase: hate the sin, love the sinner applies to this. I don't believe it applies to satan himself, but to people.
We're all sinners, but yes, I consider a sin like mass murder greater than a sin of lying, so it's only natural to look at the person more severely, but I think we should instead deeply hate the sinful act, and deeply hate those choices/decisions, but not the underlying person. For example, Hitler's sin should be deeply hated, but God made him in his image just like you. So the part that God created is the part we should love, even though that part might be hard to see as it can be clouded and hidden by the evil the person is trying to do. Even the worst offenders have multiple chances to make themselves right with God and if they do we should accept them. What if you hated a mass murderer who became a Christian, would you still hate him as a person? If so, then you'd hate one of the greatest authors of the Bible and evangelists for Christ: Paul. God loves giving people many chances, that's the beauty of grace, and we need to give that same grace to others, otherwise, we will be judged for it: MATTHEW 7:1 - God bless!
Thimerasal is another name for mercury used as a preservative in some vaccines.
Vaccine makers are exempted from lawsuits thanks to congress.
what kind of incentive do the vaccine makers have for safety if it costs them money and they can not be sued?
Yes some vaccines have mercury in them.
Verse four reads, "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler". This is the promise of the present Life. He shall cover thee with his feathers, Christ's wings are both for healing and for hiding. ( Matthew 4:2), for curing and securing us, our God can always set an invincible guard around us, and cover them with the golden feathers of His protection.
1 Timothy Chapter 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Romans 1: 26 For this cause God GAVE THEM UP (gave up on them?) unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God GAVE THEM OVER to a REPROBATE reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
If the Holy Spirit convicts them, it is time to repent. When someone seeks and wants the Lord more than their sin they shall find the Lord.
I agree with much of the information you gave to Cheryl concerning homosexuality.
However, our opinions differ concerning someone being born a homosexual.
God does not equip people to be born with sinful tendencies.
Our heavenly Father does everything He can to give each and every one of us the best chance to succeed in this lifetime.
Original sin is upon every person.
Everything else is a choice.
David a man after God's own heart said the following
Psalms 139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
2 Chronicles 19:2 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
Read that again why don't you.
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Deut 23: 17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a SODOMITE of the sons of Israel.
18 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a DOG, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination unto the LORD
Romans Chapter 1:
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
"The beginning of sorrows and great mournings; the beginning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of evils! what shall I do when these evils shall come?"
(the beginning of evils!)
a letter to 7 churches, a song: Our Time Now (by Carman). euphoria, etc. your mom doing, corona What man can take it; Only a man of God trained to do What God has asked him to do as he asked God to do, and then he put u in contact with me on this site as I too also just came to couple the work that God trained me to do.
Jesus came and said that they have made my house a den of thieves; and they have and it continues to be dens for thieves. Can you explain the Sabbath and why we work on the sabbath, Can you tell me exactly in the Bible where I can find the lords prayer and the 10 commandments as all chapters I know where to find is Genesis 1, 2, 3 and sometime 4.
These other things that you talk about I think happened at the very beginning of creation when the arch angel and a number of ordinary angels rebelled, and they were cast into the sea of fire or someplace; all except the Devil; and he is still active every since, but people do not want to hear about those previous things as it frightens us. At least now, they have heard about it.
But like mine; your Jon that you were trained for is finished and like me you are not God and he don't need us; but we need him; and so we can now relax and listen to hymns and go on and off of this site advising maybe where we think our advise would benefit especially kids with the permission of their parents a or at least telling them to check with their parents if they are on this site or any site, but adults only accept advise when they ask for it and the final judgement is God's. Just let it be as with what judgement we judge; we will be judged.
I have done a few messages. i don't know if you have got them but I I agree with you and you have done a fantastic job in making people aware of problems of the seven churches and for that a special man was needed; one who cherished the scriptures and prayed for them and that prayer was answered and all things were revealed unto you, and you did a great job on that. I also find it stressful but once again I am at peace with my soul; and so i can do a cup of coffee and lie on my lawn chair; and relax in peace. It is time now I think for u also to beat peace with your soul and listen to the fine hymns and he singing of those hymns on u tube. I do that over and over and it help me relax and get over my arthritis; and finally. I also started to fast last Sunday; always wanted to as u are not suppose to do any work on Sunday, but I did it as I was thinking do animal fast and does not indeed fasting prove that we have a mind and that god created that with a breath of life; and indeed if God created it and said do it; then there I would be Blessing in it as i know that there is punishment as sin will visit 3 or 4 generations of the man who sins. SO be at peace with you soul; listen to hymns on u tube especially I am at peace with my soul. It get rid of all that bothers you even arthritis etc, a cure all, over time, and a lot od christuans do it in phase to the lord; that is how a lot of hymns were created and i particularly like Fanny crosbie; a wonderful blind christian, and she wrote hundreds even 1000 of hymns ....
Hi. d give me a bit of time as I'm old and have a few problems however don't stress yourself. You have been blessed and I can tell you the things you have done; a letter to the churches; a song or a hymn, etc. is fantastic Jesus said that the churches was a den of thieves or something and they are even worst today; and the other things you speak about is the war in Heaven, I suspect; So, i will give you a proper reply in a day or so; but for npw can u tell me where to find the Lords pray and the ten commandments; and if you do; You may delay a response for maybe 3 or 4 days but istill would like to have it, meanwhile, take care; and I will as i said , re[ly proprly a later etc,,u know i have bad eyes and am sort of old and can[t type but no worries; it can be dome even properly; also waht is a den of fire or something like that regarding the war in the heavens?
have a great dau; and was that song in deed called a hymn but u did not want to say so as people may think u are nuts. Waht odds what people think. You know the Bible and your grand mother did also and how about your mom. Did she know it? Mine lived with me; and i have to say; when she dot old, as my cousin lived with his mom all his life and never married; and people thought that there was something wrong with a man like that worth lots of money; and so I have to say when she got old she came to live with me but I was living common law the time and had little money. So I suppose everything was and is okay. Any way have a great day and i will get back to u later. Co,plete and uneditted
These are strange questions I've given but I'm trying to show that unfortunately, both adult & child have to suffer pain, hardship & death, simply because we are a fallen creation (sinners) living in a world once beautiful, but now reeling in the effects of that corruption. And when God looks at us in our troubles, He also sees us through His Son Who came to give His Life for us so that even if we have to die physically, we won't have to die spiritually in Hell. And this is the promise to all people who come to God by faith in Jesus' death at Calvary. And those little ones who die before their innocence is lost, will still go to Heaven as they have not sinned wilfully as a result of their sin nature. These are comforting to us Christians, but the unsaved will only want to see God as a cruel unloving Person. They need to know that we all die because of our sinful nature & disobedience to God - BUT God has given us an opportunity to enjoy eternal life in Heaven if we come back to Him in His way ( Jn 14:6).
The sin of homosexuality is complex because some may have been born with such a tendency, others, because of an abnormal upbringing who were groomed towards it, & yet others may feel the love they receive from their own gender is better than the other. So, whatever the reason for one's homosexuality, it is essentially the sin nature that surfaces in such a form. The world makes excuses for it, because they do not give regard to God's Laws but rather appeal to the happiness of the person & for equal treatment for all. But God requires that all sin, including homosexuality, be repented of (i.e. to declare remorse for it & to turn away from its practise). It is hard for them to do this because it may seem natural to them & fulfilling, but they need to "abstain from all appearance of evil".
Yet, Christians are still required to love all people, regardless of their sin. And this love is not that we should agree to what people do, but to love them as God loves them & longs for them to turn away from their sin. If allowed, we should not neglect a repentant homosexual who wants to know the way of Salvation - we must treat that person as any sinner seeking God & who knows that his/her behaviour is against God's Laws & against the natural display of love & commitment. So the only way to differentiate the act of sin from the person committing it, is to view both through the Eyes of God & through His Son's sacrifice for them.
RCs believe that we must actually eat Christ's flesh & blood = transubstantiation, (which they say, that the emblems mysteriously turn into) so as to partake in Jesus' Life. But in fact, Jesus spoke metaphorically, showing how that this intense & personal relationship with Him can be adequately viewed as partaking of His Person & enjoyment of His Being. And when we meet around the Lord's Table, we remember His death for us by taking of the emblems (symbols) of His broken Body & shed Blood (v 51) & this in turn speaks to us not only of His Sacrifice but also of our deep relationship we now enjoy 'in Christ'.
These verses have nothing to do with the Church. Jesus was speaking to His disciples about what it would be like in the days after He leaves for Heaven until the last days during the pouring out of God's Anger. Its immediate reference is to the Jews, as can be seen in verses 6, 12, 20, 21, 24. The Church is not in this picture, as also in Matthew 24 & Mark 13. However, in these chapters (discourses by Jesus), there is also reference to the coming Great Tribulation that will affect all the world, with the Anti-Christ impersonating Jesus & also the Wrath of God being poured upon all unbelievers. The apostle Paul in his letters then spoke about the Church's removal prior to the outpouring of God's Judgement, but this was not proclaimed in the Gospel, simply because the Christ's Church did not exist at that time.
Hematohidrosis, which the medical doctors class this as, seemed very likely what Jesus was experiencing at the Mt. of Olives. Yes, it is a condition, even rare by all accounts, but should it be classified as a 'flaw (in Jesus' perfect Body)? This condition has been observed in others who are experiencing extreme moments of stress & anguish (e.g. some soldiers about to enter into battle), so Luke describes this occurrence to show us the agony of our Lord as He also contemplated the full implications of His Sacrifice. Not just in a physical torture & death, but for the eternal release of those caged in sin & hell bound.
Also, what do you make of Jn 19:34? At the spearing of Jesus' side, both blood & water spewed out. Was this too a 'flaw'? Or, maybe a physiological reaction to the rupture of the pericardium of the heart, which was filled with fluid as a result of a crucifixion, & brought forth that liquid (water) & blood from ruptured veins & arteries.
So, I don't see either of these events as flaws, but serving to prove to us once again, the full humanity in every detail, that Jesus took upon Himself so that he would suffer & die as a man (yet a perfect Man) without avoiding any of the torture we would have faced if put in a similar position. And our crucifixion & death would have been justified as sinners, but this Man did nothing amiss, was sinless, but for OUR sins He came & died.
