I personally don't believe that God waits on anything or anybody. God does what He wants when He wants.
As far as the op goes; anytime is a good time for God's intervention & how do u know that God is not intervening now. Just because it is not happening the way u expect it does not mean it...
You didn't have to, Paul did (Rom. 13:1) "Let everyone be in subjection to the governing authorities..." so until you can prove that what Paul did was "evildoing" or not putting himself into subjection, your point "falls afoul" with the verses you are trying to address. You see, the readers of...
LOL, so much for
For the third time, I provided a verse of scripture, or at least meant to provide(2 Pet 3:15-16) for my statement
(notice that I did not state that it was "completed" but rather "being established". I try to use specific words to avoid such confusions, but I guess my attempt...
I already addressed this issue in a post previous to the one you are quoting from. From post #20
First off, I need to admit a mistake I made in the Verse I was reffering to. I meant to reffer to 2 Pet. 3:15-16 (NASB) "and regard the patience of our Lord to be salvation; just as also our beloved...
silly me. Being as how you put it that way. The only "infallible" source I can think of is God. Are you satisfied now?
No clue about how the country you currently reside was established,eh? At least you can't say your not a part of the majority.
does it really matter?! You're ignoring the...
There are plenty of Biblical examples of abuses of God given authority throughout the Bible. So if one is thinking that they are standing firm they should be carefull that they do not fall (1 Cor. 10:11). Godly basis of human authority is not an exemtion from human abuse or criticism of that...
Big suprise here:rolleyes:.
One thing you should take into consideration, 9-10ths_Penguin, and I am sure you are not ignorant of, is the history of this creedo that you are attempting to draw extreme conclusions with so you can attempt to point out some contradiction. As a follower of...
and yet the Bible (1 Pet. 3:15) encourages believers to be prepared with gentleness and respect to give an answer to anyone who asks for the reason for the hope that they have. Granted, it is not followed by all believers but it is encouraged in scripture.

I would have to strongly disagree with this notion just out of having children myself. Have you ever watched how selfcentered children are in dealing with others? Shoot, my 11 year old still acts very selfcentered at times.
With that being brought up and the context of the verse that was...
Excellent Point!!! There is plenty of instances in the Gospels where it is encouraged to approach God with a childlike faith. I guess the next question should be, being as how I'm sure Paul knew of this, How does one approach God with a childlike faith and still speak, think, and reason like an...
1 Cor. 13:11 (NASB) "When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things."
Lately it seems like I have noticed that as adults we assume that adults automatically just grow into adult thinking and reasoning...
Thank you everyone for the comforting words and words of wisdom. I'm not going to claim that everything is alright now, but they help out emmensily. I needed a lot of help getting through last night and am still in need of lots of help. I moved to Iowa in 95 so my family is still in CA. As...
Thank tou everyone for the advise that has come from more wisdon than I seem to have right now. Please do not take this personal, but an old clichet comes to mind right now that goes "it a lot easier said than done"
Couldn't agree more. With the fact that sleeping is hard enough as it is working a graveyard shift job along with this happening, I was prescribed some lunesta pills to help me sleep. Sometimes, depending on what's happening at the time, I need to take more than one. The last therapist the...
The hardest part has to be that after being married for over 11 years, knowing her for 13+ years and the whole prison ordeal (which was over in 03), having four kids, buying a house, and doing at least what I thought was everything that I could; despite the fact that she claims that I have done...
I don't expect to get answers right now. I come to you a desparate man. I am experiencing more pain than I know how to deal with right now. This is coming from someone who vainly assumed that the worst he would have to deal with is four years of prison.
This has been an unbelievably hard year...
Ninja. Probably because I was brought up in the 80's when ninja's were kewl. I could name all kinds of ninja movies and shows from the 80's.

Even as an exfelon, I would have to agree with this statement. My only problem is that there are plenty of judges out there that commit crimes of all kinds that still continue in their posiiton. When considereing the human factor of judges, it would be naive of us to assume that judges never...
