Members phkrause Posted March 5, 2011 Members Posted March 5, 2011 There is too much evidence in the Bible regarding standing fast (overcoming) to believe that humans are incapable of choosing obedience. I like your post John317, and add poppycock 2.0 to Haldog's post. Pipim? Very good man. One of our brghtest scholars -- and most gracious according to Hans LaRondelle. Word on the street is that he is coming to Ohio in June. It ought to be good. g Word on the street!! Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Moderators John317 Posted March 5, 2011 Moderators Posted March 5, 2011 :-) Hey olger, I would write more but right now it is hard to concentrate with someone pounding my foot with a hammer or putting it in a vice and tightening it up real good. (This is what it feels like anyway.) trying to lol That is why I am up at 4 am. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
olger Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Hope the pain passes, John ! PK, you can learn a lot hanging out in front of the drugstore :). Dr. Sam Pipim is invited to a hometown revival meeting in Ohio, June 8-12. It ought to be good. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."

Guest Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 The works of Christ in our lives no matter how much and how long ... will never be enough. Quote
Woody Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Ha Ha !!! You've done the same thing that most have done to Ellen White's writings. I feel like I am in good company however. If you are willing to do to me what you do to our prophet ... then I am honored. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology. Â
GreatLakesGramma Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. 1Jn 2:4-6 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 1Jn 3:2-10 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1Jn 3:21-24 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1Jn 5:1-5 Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
