How Long Is The Test?

Young people may play a critical part in end time events, but I seriously doubt it will be thru the Black Lives Matter organization.

You are aware, possibly, that the BLM organization is little more than a front for Marxist organizers. One of the board members for an organization (Thousand Currents) providing funding for BLM is a white woman (Rosenberg). She spent many years in prison for terrorism in the USA including bombings. The black community is being played by these organizations. Unfortunately, so is our church.

Anytime you have to put a color in front of "Lives Matter", you might be a racist!

You know Photodude a lie don't care who tells it! It is still a lie! What is so sad that those who claim to love THE MOST HIGH do not show it at all.

If a man say, I love ELOHIYM, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love ELOHIYM whom he hath not seen?   1John 4:20 

When people lives are built up hate they cannot see the truth if it is staring them in the face! Three Black ladies started Black Lives Matter, after the death of Trayvon Martin, who was shot by George Zimmerman Who have been arrested last week in Florida. The three Black ladies are Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza,  Opal Tometi and the started a non-profit organization that does not have tax exempt status so they sought an organization that would accept their mission statement as a worthwhile project to assist.

"In this capacity, we provide administrative and back-office support, including finance, accounting, grants management, insurance, human resources, legal and compliance," a spokesperson for Thousand Currents. The problem you want to start is about Susan Rosenberg, who  has served as Vice Chair of the board of directors for Thousand Currents in 2020. She has moved up in rank since 1915 to Vice Chair. Yes, Susan Rosenberg had a past, she was an active member of several violent revolutionary left-wing groups and movements from the 1960 to the 1980 but she was never charged as a terrorist. She was tried and convicted on the following charges: “Conspiracy to possess unregistered firearms, receive firearms and explosives shipped in interstate commerce while a fugitive, and unlawfully use false identification documents …; possession of unregistered destructive devices, possession of unregistered firearm (two counts) …; carrying explosives during commission of a felony … ; possession with intent to unlawfully use false identification documents…; false representation of Social Security number, possession of counterfeit Social Security cards.” New Jersey U.S. District Court 

When Rosenberg was release in 2001, the man in the White House lawyer, you know Giuliani, who was then U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Now, he had become mayor and he told the New York Times that the other charges had been dropped. She was convicted to serve 58 years, but President Clinton pardon her after being incarcerated for 16-years! She wrote in her 2011 memoir the astounding words:

“I outlined my criminal acts and what I felt about them then and now. I talked about the political ethos of the 1960s and how it had led me and my associates into thinking our activities were acceptable. I detailed how sorry I felt now, how I accepted responsibility for my past actions, and how I would never commit any crimes again. I tried to put my life within the context of the historical period when many Americans thought they could change the world and end war and racism and poverty. I tried to distinguish between my core values and my embrace of the use of political violence. I stated that I now rejected the use of violence. I meant all that I said.”

Now, the Bible said we are to forgive those who seek forgiveness. Yet, sadly this is your motto like the man in the White House! Who has never asked forgiveness for anything he has done! Others who were a part of his cabinet has shown remorse, some sadly not all!

You know, I am so worn out for people who think they know but do not know the facts about Marxist. Karl Heinrich Marx, (his Yiddish name was Herschel, but his father changed their name because of Jewish oppression in Prussia). Their town eventually became of part of Germany. Karl Marx believe that that human societies develop through classes of conflict which is true throughout history. The ruling class that control the means of production with wealth and using this power they control the means of the working class for selling their production in return for wages. But, it even deeper, the ruling class holds the working class in check with the amount of wages they paid, while they become even more wealthy which is pure Capitalism. Marx in sighted that socio-economic systems and capitalism will result into fiscal tensions that would eventually lead to its self-destruction and will be changed by a new system known as socialism.

He was right because there are two types of socialist countries today, Democratic socialist and government control socialist. The Democratic Socialist countries believes in the distribution of wealth to meet the needs of the people equally and not for some gaining all the wealth. These are the successful Democratic Socialist Countries that Bernie Sanders were speaking of: Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. The government control countries took the methodology of Lenin that changed Russia who even today have not broke the chain of government control. Vladimir Putin socialist is not only government controlled but also include the Russian oligarch. The KGB became even more ruthless after 1991, forming even in USA the Russia Mobs that the Italians Mob look like child play. Using business men in Russia the collapse of the communist party also loosing other countries the KGB took control and Putin was their for the ultimate power. This is what the man in the White wants he has been around mobster all his life. I know because we all knew about him in the northeast. Who taught him was the mob most famous lawyer friend was Roy Cohn. Many things in the book his niece wrote, was all over the news in Connecticut, where I grew up when my parents migrated from Georgia. Time after time he would lose cases from racism with the violations of the Fair Housing Act, his attempted takeovers of Holiday Corporation and Bally Manufacturing Corporation, was sued by a business analyst for defamation, The fake University lost due to fraud, The settlement with Univision CEO Randy Falco out of court. This selfish, ungrateful, lack of empathy. The man has been in 3,500 lawsuits. Not once has he ever changed and anyone that can take from your own brother is the lowest.

What is so, egregious of you Photodue, is your lack of empathy and your constant endeavor to throw false claims on Black people and you suppose to be married to one. You fail to look in the mirror and see anyone without sin cast the first stone. All have sin but not your great white hero. Thousands of people are dying, because of him telling them not put on mask. Trying to force children back to school in a pandemic and refusing to give funding for the schools to try and make them safe. To bring people to a rally and yes Kerman Kane died, and he was black. It shows you how it doesn’t matter about color because people who do stupid things comes in every color. Greed, and power has no color meet Satan what color is he?

You know what so sad, I don’t hate you, I truly feel sorry for you because you don’t see that you are hurting yourself. You are following the most unprecedented wanna be mobster down the road of no return. He like Satan wants to be a dictator and bring back chattel slavery. He wants a race war and he will do anything to stay in the White House and the senators are scared puppies! Those around him were also evil and  it shows. But YAHWEH is in control and he is not the beast, he is not smart of enough! YAHWEH rules and HE brought diseases on the Egyptians for their sins and this is the beginning of sorrow and you nor the man in the White House can stop the prophecies from being fulfilled. He is using the Post Office, sending in unmarked federal troops in military gear ,but he will fail. You throw all the evil darts you want; it will not change the results. People of all ethnicity will be banned together including Republicans who see the light. This army is unstoppable because it stands for justice and truth and they are those who realize, we all must love each other. I did not hear of any of them dying with COVID who march peacefully, have you? You cannot change what’s coming it is in YAHWEH’S hand.

Finally, here are some conservative fiscal sponsors: The American Conservative Union (ACU), American Family Association (AFA), Americans For Prosperity, Citizens United, The Conservative Caucus, Eagle Forum, Family Research Council (FRC), Freedom Watch, Freedom Works and last The Heritage Foundation. You see, I do not need to dig any of these people’s past, I see the actions they are doing now.

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1John 2:11 

But whoso hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his tender mercies from him, how dwelleth the love of ELOHIYM in him? 1John 3:17 

I will tell it like it is, but the more you go downward I will rise higher because love is my main principle!

May YAHWEH have mercy on you soul, and Happy Sabbath!

You may not like what I write, but it is a bit of a stretch to start calling everyone a liar who does not agree with you. I am surprised this post even survived on Adventistan and people have been bounced out of here for less. This is how rationale discussions end.

Is it really up to us to judge such a thing of others? Seems to me we have enough troubles judging our selves and our own actions and characters.

 Some of the looting, as i understand it, is done by White supremacists.  Remember the Umbrella Man?

Also, Antifa means Anti -Fascist, so the only thing wrong with that is some conservative members of the govt use that group as an enemy, while other groups are just pushed aside.

And I think stinsonmarri was using that just that as an example of how involved the youth are becoming. 

I agree and there has been story after story of when they finally catch someone that has done the terrorising it has been a white supremist acting/claiming to be a BLM member!! Not saying it's like that in all cases, but most!!

I suspicion you have been watching too much CNN, the news network with the ratings falling thru the floor because they have gotten so many stories wrong.

Not sure where "story after story" came from (CNN?!), but I have heard none of such. Having lived in Portland on/off for decades, it is a hardcore leftist city and the nearest "white supremacists" are all the way over in Idaho. They had riots going on for over 60 days in that city. Funny that the claim that they are a bunch of right wing / white supremacists has barely been mentioned by leftist politicians!

So we shall see. The Justice department has over 300 open investigations going on. The count of leftist versus extreme rightists will be interesting to see.

You and Theophilus are correct. They actually sent a couple dozen of their members to Alberta to do their pretend BLM mumbo jumbo. PAID activists masquerading as and organized as BLM "protest" but actually nothing to do with any lives that matter. The ANTIFA folks had all their local motel bills, air fares etc all covered for them. They were paid to do a job here in Alberta. Once again people, follow the money if you want to know whats going on. Really going on.

This topic is supposed to be about "how long is the test?"  Why cant those who insist on hijacking every single topic with this stupid agenda just start up their own topics about it? Its gotten ridiculous.

Follow the money works in many situations. Many fingers are pointing to George Soros as a funder of left wing activity. He has contributed heavily to left wing prosecutors running for office. One of his candidates is now persecuting a couple who defended their home with arms even though they were clearly within Missouri law. The governor of the state has said he is likely to pardon them if these shenanigans by this prosuctor result in a conviction. Unheard of! Pardon discussed before a trial even. 

In many of these riot situations, there have been photographs of pallets of bricks showing up at the riot scene before hand. Those cost money. Again follow the money. Pallets of bricks at many riot sites around the country are likely beyond the finances of most white supremacists. Or to put it more clearly, show me a white supremacists group that could afford that. George Soros could!

Right, lets just throw out Soros without one shrewd of evidence! Also there are a number of others that could easily have done this, but I will not put out any names because there are no indications that they are involved either!!

PK I was agreeing with you - and no. It doesnt bother me a bit that others have opinions. But it is frustrating when certain ones do not respect what the OP of a given topic is. Even when they are told, they just keep doing it. I have no question about anything you posted here.

I do agree about things getting of the topic, but I believe its been mentioned in discussions many times and unfortunately threads do get off topic!! It does seem most of the time it just doesn't seem to be helped? And also it does seem it can't be helped, as people do throw out questions and others, like myself, do try to answer and than it gets kicked further and further away from the original post!!

I think you are right on there. BUT, with this particular subject, that is, with the political race/card topic that has been inserted here, that topic is being used in almost every topic that is started now and the people feeding into it need to stop. This isnt about people asking genuine questions re The OP.

What you write show the character you portray. I do not called everyone a liar, only those who do lie. It is alright for you to say the demeaning things that you say without any regards, but want others to bounce out who can stand and challenge you. I will not ascertain anymore of your negative responses.

You know what is so sad is you point out one person being off of topic. Showing your hatred and angry toward me also. Let me prove why I said that. Let's follow the chronological dates and who went off topic. I was on topic talking about the test July 31. Yes, I did mention Black Lives Matter but also mention other things especially about the youth which was my main point. Then it started August 3, Photodue started berating Black Lives Matters calling them Marxist; I don't see an off the topic to him. Why? August 8 Jo Mo claiming that Black Lives Matters were the one doing the riot, when they were not. All the media even FOX Mike Wallace sad it was others related to Skinheads and those folks who was planted. He even said the FBI said they had networks set up. Yet, I see no hatred off the topic on what Joe said! Why?  Then August 8 Theophilus who read and understood who was causing the riots. Then he said exactly what I was portraying: "And I think stinsonmarri was using that just that as an example of how involved the youth are becoming." Now, he was off topic but no angry flag showing angry hate. Why? Because you are truly angry with me. I went on you other site once and told you that you were wrong. I have every right as every man in this forum to speak up. When you run away, I will  find you and let you know how you act was not justified. There are moderators on this forum and they will come and speak to each and everyone of us if we go beyond the boundaries. What I will not do is to keep silence against anyone who tries to bring down others who are doing good because of their bias reason. I spoke my peace and I will not keep it going only your friend Photodude that's what he does. He spews, negative and racist things not only by Black people, but the Jewish people and others. He is sad and needs prayer. I also feel sad about you because you can be so thoughtful. But lately you have changed and that's make me very unhappy!  This is a test?

May YAHWEH keep you in perfect peace! Happy Sabbath!

Let me chime in here as a Moderator:

*  As fare as  a post being "off topic" goes,  I prefer to let threads develop as they do.  If they happen to be "off topic" I will not intervene, most of the time.

*  There is a distinction between a "liar" and one who had made a "false statement".  When one states that a person is a "liar"  one is saying that someone knowingly and intentionally attempted to deceive.  This is much worse than s imply stating tha one made a false statement--a statement was wrong.  On attributes intent to deceive and the other does not.

*  In the past, I have acted on people being called a liar and requested that such not be done.  But, sometimes my time is quite limited and I am not able to review everything that is posted.  [As an example, when I get my regular eye injections, I am off the Internet for as much as 18 hours.]  In actual fact, some posts are never read, by me, unless someone contacts me and complains.  So, sometimes I just let a post go because it has been visible for a while.

* I prefer that people not call another person a liar, but simply stated that they have made a false statement.

So what is the OT for? Sure some of it is how the world/Universe was created and how creation was done, etc. But for the most part after the first 5 books it's pretty much punishing and than his people would wake up to there sin and pray and God taking them back, over and over!! Having said that I'm not sure that God is punishing anyone today, but maybe trying to wake up his chosen now??

It is not that YAHWEH punish it is sin that takes it course. Do you think YAHWEH sent HIS SON down here to be punish? No, it is the result of sin that punish and is Satan using deprave minds that do these evil things. When they took a lamb in the OT they had to look this innocent animal in the eye as the individual, not the priest cut his throat. This is horrific but is was a demonstration of what sin does on all beings including Satan and his unholy messengers has succumb to. Remember sin was found in Satan and this is a mystery it a disease that we cannot comprehend. But we know what it can do. It causes the most powerful being created in Heaven to fall and become a craze creature but in the end it will lead to his destruction. The people who punish YAHSHUA can be seem today that they will stop at nothing to gain their evil gain. 

 My mother told me you will reap what you have sown and I see it. I destroyed my health by smoking and taking drugs. I already had sinful odds against me that were hereditary health problems that were passed down because of sin. Then what I did intensify them so who do I blame but only me. I see because of the past life I lived have cause me to go through trials now because of what I sowed that has grown up to cause the many difficult things in my life. But I know that YAHSHUA'S  SAVES! Sin must be eradicated because if don't the Bible said even the very elect won't be save. If we become on the power of sin who deals with hate that blinds and distorts the mind that people become craze in destroying others no matter what the cost may be.

 Listen carefully Satan who was called Lucifer in Heaven has a meaning that I don't think most truly understand. Lucifer is a Latin word the real word is and meaning is:

 “Helel” means, “bright one” or “shining one”, “to flash forth light” like lightening falling from heaven (Luke 10:18).  If you under stand that the word comes from the root word "halal," which again goes back to the word 'ayil that is the Hebrew word that represents the mighty ones. However, "halal"  is  very significant attached to the devil:

 The word “helel” is derived from the root word, “halal”, meaning to praise, to shine, to make a show, to boast, to rage. Everywhere that Jerome translated the word “halal” it is translated more along these lines. Only here did he choose to translate “helel” as Lucifer. He clearly knew the meaning of the word and its root. Why here, did he choose to translate it as "Lucifer?" Walk in Truth

 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

 In Latin at the time, "Lucifer" meant Venus as a Morning Star. Which is not a star but a planet in our solar system that is the closest to the sun. So, it gets its light from the sun. Satan wanted to compare himself in every way to be like THE SON of THE MOST who is THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR. The star that is compare to YAHSHUA is Sirius A:

 Sirius A the star is present in ancient astronomical records of the Greeks, Polynesians and several other cultures. The Egyptians even went so far as to base their calendar on when Sirius was first visible in the eastern sky, shortly before sunrise. According to Space.com space watching columnist Joe Rao, the Egyptians called Sirius the "Nile Star," because it always returned just before the river rose and so announced the coming of the floodwaters that would nourish their lands. Space.com

 Sin cause Satan to believe he can be above his CREATORS, he is a mad and craze being to do nothing but destruction.

  And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Rev 9:11

 Abaddon and Apollyon mean destruction and those who follow him does the exact same thing. They will do anything to hold on to power, the care for nothing because they are blind by the disease that is brought on by sin. When YAHSHUA died on the stake (which is what the Greek word "Stauros" means.); HE took on the sins of the world. It was so devastating that the earth went wild and it even though THE FATHER was there in a dark cloud, YAHSHUA could not for the first time see HIS FATHER! Because sin was so horrific that it cause THE SON to die of a broken heart being away from HIS FATHER!  That is what sin does it separates us from the love of YAHWEH! It destroys. Watch anyone who only destroy people, justice, truth, and love. Who is always negative and says mean and hateful things. Remember they cannot see like YAHSHUA says they are blind and don't even know that they are naked and wretched.

 Sin must be destroyed and all who is bound to it because it cannot live in the Goodness, and Graciousness of YAHWEH!

Happy Sabbath!

There is a difference between a lie and a plain mistake.  IMHO, a lie implies an untruth told with malice and forethought with the intention of deceiving someone.  A mistake implies no malice or forethought, just an error in judgement logic, or misinformation.

That being said, I don't think PD either lied or made a mistake.  Just because his opinion differs from yours does not make him a liar; he simply disagrees with some of the stuff you say (as do others).

Joe: I do not have an opinion about someone lying, I provide the facts. The problem is what one refuses to see or to accept. When someone follows a liar and lift the liar up he becomes just like the liar. The Bible clearly spells out what a liar will do.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

A liar said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and his followers would still follow him. The leader liar had supposed to be FBI agent with no badges to identify who they are with unmarked cars grabbing people off the street. The leader liar said he was for the Veterans and yet a Navy vet was beaten on TV so all could see! The leader liar used the army on American soil to spray down peaceful Protesters so he could march across the street to a church to lift up an upside-down Bible! Leader liar said that peaceful Protesters were doing all the destruction. Yet, the report from the Authorities and the FBI: Authorities suspect white supremacists and far-left extremists are behind violence at protests

Federal and local authorities suspect some of the violent clashes during recent protests were instigated by white supremacist groups and far-left extremists. Protests have erupted across the country following the death of George Floyd. Jeff Pegues reports. MAY 30, 2020 CBS News

Federal authorities are increasingly worried that “violent opportunists” are infiltrating otherwise peaceful protests across the country and could be “emboldened” to attack law enforcement as they see police officers targeted elsewhere, according to new warnings from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. ABC News

A review of the arrests of dozens of people on federal charges reveals no known effort by antifa to perpetrate a coordinated campaign of violence. Some criminal complaints described vague, anti-government political leanings among suspects, but a majority of the violent acts that have taken place at protests have been attributed by federal prosecutors to individuals with no affiliation to any particular group. 

Christopher Wray, the F.B.I. director, told the Senate Judiciary Committee in July that the agency “considers antifa more of an ideology than an organization.” The New York Times Company

“If we get 300 people we can raid the mall and everything in there....” the Tennessee man posted on Snapchat, adding, “be there by 10:30, lace your shoes, wear masks and gloves. Bring hammers bricks whatever you want.”

The Kentucky man has pleaded not guilty to the charges; the others were arrested on criminal complaints and have yet to enter pleas. Authorities said the defendants were trying to use the protests as cover for their alleged crimes.  The Wall Street Journal

Then the leader who lies, his followers do the exact same thing. They lie! Then there is racist followers who always trying to put down Black organizations and yes lying on them. Trying to show justification for their lie by pumping up a small few Black people who are out for monetary gain. Look at their lives and you will see the venom of hate they spew on their color. Do you think the lying leader really likes them? Of course, not and they would be the first to go in a race war. Listen, carefully Satan is a liar and a murder, he used people to kill both theirs and his CREATOR! All liars act just like him and when they are finish with you, they will throw you under the bus to save their own skin! 

In conclusion the truth of what I said is there and it is not an opinion or base anyone who tries to claim they have an opinion. Why? The topic was on how long the test is. The very first person who got off  how long is the test, subject  was Photodude because I briefly mention Black Lives Matter. I mainly talking about how people were coming together, and it was the young people leading the way. But, here comes the test Blessed man with his negative remarks and now you, why because for two reason. I am Black and I am a woman! I am not afraid of being tested for my crown and for justice. But I will not be intimidated by you, Blessed Man or Photodude. Do not come with me about opinions stand up and be honest you all angry because of the things I say are truthful about the man you all are blinded by in-spite the things you all know he has say and have done. No, I am not happy, but I know it is a test! How long is the test, hopefully for each of you to open your eyes and see the truth by prayer. I don't dislike any one of you, but I don't like what you have said and how you have portrayed yourself to be champions of YAHWEH! If you see wrong stand for justice and truth and the test that we all must struggle to win will be given at the end with a crown for overcoming our sins of destruction.

Stand I pray all of you for justice, truth, integrity, and love and their will be a crown at the end!? 

May YAHWEH bless you and keep you and give you peace!

The OT in Christ concealed.  The pre-incarnate Christ is the LORD of the OT. 

I would disagree with this part of your statement. From what I can see in my puny view point, Christ IS revealed through out the Bible. Especially in the OT. The gospel is the same in both. Thats why its called "everlasting" gospel.

The "test" I referred to in the OP is a very relevant caption for what the believer must journey through in their daily life..."the test"  It can be very rewarding and enlightening to see Christ in all the scripture:

Quote

thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:15-17.

We see the advantage that Timothy had in a correct example of piety and true godliness. . . . The manifest spiritual power of the piety in the home kept him pure in speech and free from all corrupting sentiments. From a child Timothy had known the Holy Scriptures. He had the benefit of the Old Testament Scripture, and the manuscript of part of the New, the teachings and lessons of Christ. . . . {CTr 310.6}

Let me chime in here as a Moderator:

*  As fare as  a post being "off topic" goes,  I prefer to let threads develop as they do.  If they happen to be "off topic" I will not intervene, most of the time.

*  There is a distinction between a "liar" and one who had made a "false statement".  When one states that a person is a "liar"  one is saying that someone knowingly and intentionally attempted to deceive.  This is much worse than s imply stating tha one made a false statement--a statement was wrong.  On attributes intent to deceive and the other does not.

*  In the past, I have acted on people being called a liar and requested that such not be done.  But, sometimes my time is quite limited and I am not able to review everything that is posted.  [As an example, when I get my regular eye injections, I am off the Internet for as much as 18 hours.]  In actual fact, some posts are never read, by me, unless someone contacts me and complains.  So, sometimes I just let a post go because it has been visible for a while.

* I prefer that people not call another person a liar, but simply stated that they have made a false statement.

 

Dear Pastor: I am sorry because of what you said but not what I wrote. However, I must be mindful and respectful as well so, I will not use the word liar again. I hope your eye is doing okay and my prayers are with you. I will say, you know I can stand, but I also know I must be humble when I read what you wrote. Justice will prevail against darkness and my tone will show it in a more dutiful way. I am struggling with my trials because truly it is a test when things are not kindly said and they are false, as you stated to say. Take care of yourself and please pray for me!

Blessings!

Here is a text that seems very pertinent to the OP

Quote

Psa 119:71  It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.

Now to figure out how that all works? Ideas anyone?

[BlessedMan]

I also found this passage from Hebrews, the AMP version

Heb 12:3  Just consider and meditate on Him who endured from sinners such bitter hostility against Himself [consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Heb 12:4  You have not yet struggled to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;

Heb 12:5  and you have N1forgotten the divine word of encouragement which is addressed to you as sons, "MY SON, DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, AND DO NOT LOSE HEART and GIVE UP WHEN YOU ARE CORRECTED BY HIM;

Heb 12:6  FOR THE LORD DISCIPLINES and CORRECTS THOSE WHOM HE LOVES, AND HE PUNISHES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES and WELCOMES [TO HIS HEART]." [Pro_3:11-12]

Heb 12:7  You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons; for N1what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

Heb 12:8  Now if you are exempt from correction and without discipline, in which all [of God's children] share, then you are illegitimate children and not sons [at all].

Heb 12:9  Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we submitted and respected them [for training us]; shall we not much more willingly submit to the Father of N1spirits, and live [by learning from His discipline]?

Heb 12:10  For our earthly fathers disciplined us for only a short time as seemed best to them; but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

Heb 12:11  For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to God's will and purpose].
