Bible Verses

[shortcircuit]

sometime, I believe every word in the bible as factual. If other people don't then it's their decision. They won't change my mind about what I believe so there's no need in me trying to change theirs. My beliefs for the most part align with the Baptist faith BUT one thing that we need to remember is that God is non-denominational. Man made doctrines have caused lots of strife among believers and non-believers alike.

Short- I used to be like Ape seems to be, I new everything. I found out too much and it was emotionally traumatizing.

I have all my eggs in one basket. I am entirely dependent upon the one who woke me in my mothers womb, to wake me again, should I sleep before he comes. If not, then when he comes, to change me, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye and if not..... it's his choice.
He earned it, with the blood from his veins.

Perhaps I was too harsh with my words toward "B"'s views.

I believe every word in the Bible is factual too! It is God's inspired word translated by men.

1 Thessalonians, chapter 4
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15: For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18: Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

Ecclesiastes 11:1

[crazywild]

Thank you!

[sometimeman]

"Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days."
I an't got no learning Rose, What does that mean?

[crazywild]

I am always curious as to other perceptions.. so sometime-man, how did you take it when you read it? I would like to know your thoughts..

Rose, again, thank you! Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday

[sometimeman]

I an't got a clue wild. Is it like, God will bless your efforts if you just let go?

[manape]

Sometimeman, I know there is a God and I am not Him. He knows all.

[manape]

Ecclesiastes 11:1 explains, "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth." In other words, put out good (be nice to sometimeman), help others, and it will return to you in your hour of need. If you have sown good seeds, then in your moment of crisis, it will return to your rescue in the exact moment that you need it. THE SECRET

Have a good day. I'm going to take a hike to a waterfall.

Excellent job manape!

[sometimeman]

Thanks Ape
"Casting Bread" is kinda like that karma stuff an't it? I guess it's just scripture for, "What goes around comes around".

Right about now, I'm wondering whose bread Lie-mar's been chunking? his or someone else?

When it kinda boomerangs back on 'em will it smell bad?
Recon that woman thang we been hearing about is the result of some ol' Lie-mar's "casting"

[summerose]

Sometimeman, I wouldn't worry about whether Lamar is guilty or not of cheating on his wife, if he is God will take care of it. We should tend to our own business and not be concerned about someone else's.
