We see in scripture that god does things ''for His name's sake''. God delights to have his name known. The first part of the Lord's prayer is ''Our father which art in heaven HALLOWED be thy name''.
Fame would mean well-known name. So why is god so admamant to be famous? God's commitment to...
I put this in this section of the forum, because so often people struggle with understanding why god would send anybody to the lake of fire. I dont wont to discuss if its going to happen or not, there are already many threads about that, i want to discuss whether god would be just or unjust to...
Ohhh if you want to see something REALLLYY cool with gummy bears. Do this.
You need some potassiumperchlorate a test tube and one gummy bear. Then put a teaspoon of the chlorate in a test tube (wide mouth, and one dont wont crack under severe heat) and heat it till it melts. Then put the gummy...
Well lets see, if you could cool it down to zero kalvin, it would stop to vibrate entirely. It would still have latent energy though, wouldnt it? Therefore since it would still have latent energy it would still exist. But if it had no energy it would cease to exist since there is nothing that...
WOWSEE yeh that will sober one up! LOL.
''Think as if your thoughts are written in the sky for they are''. Someone said that - cant remember who...
:yes:
Yes, self-righteousness would be thinking that my value is more than someone elses value, and i would aslo agree that if gods value is not supremely valued above all other things, then my value will become over exaggerated and therefore i will become lofty in my own eyes. Its in our human...
Lately i have come to undersand prayer a little better. At first i thought.... what shall is ask for? Did that ever happen to you ? Cause i really wanna get what i ask for so that my joy might be full. I ask for grace grace grace. I was planted in grace and i can only grow in grace. And i ask to...
YEH!!!
Dangerous mindset indeed.
Yeh you see people all over the world discrediting the bible as well. And shamelessly using it for their own profit. No good trying to weild the bible to suit our needs, we have to use the bible to understand what god wants. And of course there are so many...
Exactly! And i undestand that feeling of 'i want to but i cant'. So then I started to think that im not saved, i couldnt have been. What was most frustrating i think, was the fact that i knew i had to trust god, but then i found myself having to trust myself to get it right. And that just made...
Im only human. Oh, and male testosterone has something to do with it as well. And then there could be underlying pshycological problems but thats the last resort. I think the answer you are looking for depends on who's adive you trust most. Which source. Praying for you. Heneni
Interesting thread. I too hope to learn new english words! And their meaning...
antidisestablishmentarianism????? does that mean dont drink and drive ?
Hi davy!
Its liberating when you know that god is the one who works in us to will and to do for his good pleasure. And what greater pleasure is there but to know that we please him. I have gone through many years of trying to do that on my own. I wasnt trying to be self-righteous i was just...
If we try to get a righteousness of our own, in other words, if we want to make ourselves right with god by our own efforts, by how we think it can and should be done, we end up becoming self-righteous.
There is only one way to get right with god, and that is his way.
When we were in the...
Ok so i was thinking about the different kinds of pride that there is. There is the obvious kind...the kind that boasts. But there is another kind....self-pity.
Boasting is how we respond when we imagine ourselves to be successful.
Self-pity is how pride responds to suffering.
(There is a...
You must wonder what kind of security these people have to be hacked like that. Perhaps the fact that the man was able to do it, is like pie in the face.
It be interesting to know how he did it! And perhaps that is what frightens the US the most. A man in jail for 70 years cant talk to too...
Faith is worth more than gold for those who have their treasure in heaven. But we all have faith in some degree or another in something or another. Faith is to trust something or someone to do what it said it would do, or work like it is said it will work.
When you turn the egnition you have...
You dont have to suffer at the 'hands' of those devices to gain entry into heaven. There is all manner of suffering. Being a christian means your life is always in some way at risk anyway. There are people in high or low places that can make your life a living hell for being a christian without...
