2 Corinthians 4:
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—
10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.
13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,
14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

1 SAMUEL 2
撒母耳记上 第二章


22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22 以利年甚老迈，听见他两个儿子待以色列众人的事，又听见他们与会幕门前伺候的妇人苟合，

23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
23他就对他们说：「你们为何行这样的事呢？我从这众百姓听见你们的恶行。

24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress.
24我儿啊，不可这样！我听见你们的风声不好，你们使耶和华的百姓犯了罪。



A SLAP ON THE WRIST
轻微的惩罚

Eli was the High priest, his sons were priests also, but they where a disgrace to their calling. Not only were they thieves, but they were fornicators.
以利是大祭司，他的儿子们也是祭司，但他们的呼召是一种耻辱。 他们不仅是小偷，还是通奸者。

These women came to worship God, but these two evil men used and abused their power.
这些女人是来敬拜神的，但这两个恶人却滥用他们的权势。

The Lord eventually dealt with them and rightly so, but why did it have to come to that?
主最终对付了他们，这是正确的，但为什么非要这样呢？

I have heard it enough times, some Christian is living in sin and I hear this:
我已经听过很多次了。有些基督徒生活在罪中，然后我听到这样的话：

You can't judge him/her
你不能论断他/她

You should look at your own life first.
你应该先看看你自己的生活。

You should show them love
你应该向他们表达你的爱

They have been members of the church a long time, we can't drive them away.
他们已经是教会的成员很久了，我们不能把他们赶走。

Eli knew that what they were doing was sinful, he was the stereotypical bad parent or even pastor, whatever their child or church member do, they tolerate, they don't want to rock the boat, they can't correct their children/church members, that is too harsh by far.
以利知道这些人这样做是有罪的，这些人是刻板的坏父母甚至是牧师，无论他们的孩子或教会成员做什么，他们都会容忍，他们不想搅局，他们无法纠正他们的孩子/教会 成员们，“这太苛刻了”。

Now I realise that God hardened their hearts, because of their indifference, but Eli was at fault here, he should have dealt firmly, in banning these evil men from the priest's office, the things they were doing, were worthy of severe punishment or even death.
现在我意识到上帝正因为他们的冷漠而使他们的心刚硬。以利在这里有错，他应该坚决对待，禁止这些邪恶的人任祭司的职位，他们所做的事情，应该受到严厉的惩罚甚至是 死亡。

Virtually the same scenario happened in Numbers 25, what happened these two were pierced through by Phinehas. So why didn't this happen with these two evil men?
几乎相同的场景在民数记25章也发生过，那两个人被非尼哈刺穿的事情。 那么，为什么对以利的儿子没有降下这样的惩罚呢？

I hear this all the time, something happens in a church, some Christian is in sexual sin and after multiple rebukes refuses to change his/her behaviour. We need to deal with sin in the house of God, not wait and say, let's wait and pray and let God handle it. He has given us pastors and deacons with authority to deal with this, but how often do they act like Eli and give a slap on the wrist, when they need to deal with the sin like Phinehas did and kill it, that is to disallow fellowship to that person.
我一直听到这类事情在教会里发生，一些基督徒在性犯罪中跌倒，甚至在受到多次指责之后也拒绝改变。 我们需要在神的殿中对付罪，而不是等着说，让我们等着祷告，让神来处理。 他给了我们牧师和执事处理这个问题的权力，但是当他们需要像非尼哈那样处理并杀死罪恶时，他们有多少次像以利那样行事，只是打了一下手腕，那就是不允许那个人参加团契。

Time to clean house Church, judgement begins at the house of God.
是时候打扫教会了，审判从神的家开始。

God wants a pure church.
神要的是一个纯洁的教会。

God bless you
上帝祝福你

1 TIMOTHY 1
提摩太前书一章

18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightiest war a good warfare;
19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck
18我儿提摩太啊，我照从前指着你的预言，将这命令交托你，叫你因此可以打那美好的仗。
19常存信心和无亏的良心。有人丢弃良心，就在真道上如同船破坏了一般。

HOLDING ONTO YOUR FAITH
要坚守信念


Hey Christian, YOU are in a WAR!!
嘿基督徒，你是在打仗！！


Timothy had to do certain things and we must do these things also.
提摩太要做的事，我们也要做。

We need to war a good warfare, we need to realise that our enemy, although he is defeated, is still dangerous.
我们需要打一场美好的仗，我们需要意识到敌人虽然已经打败了，但仍然很危险。

To wage a good warfare, we have to hold onto our faith tightly. In one verse it says that we have to "cling tightly" to it. We can do this because God first clings tightly to us!
要打一场美好的仗，我们必须紧紧抓住我们的信仰。 这一节经文说，我们必须“紧紧抓住”。 我们能做到这一点，是因为上帝先紧紧抓住了我们！

Also, we need to have a clear conscience. That is to have short accounts with God, to confess our sins to Him, knowing that we will receive forgiveness.
另外，我们要问心无愧。 那就是与上帝有交代，向他承认我们的罪，知道我们会得到宽恕。

Some Christians or some so-called Christians, have not done these things.
有一些基督徒或一些所谓的基督徒，并没有这么做。

Look at what has happened to them. Their lives are a wreck!
看看他们发生了什么。 他们的生活一塌糊涂像一场灾难！

I hope your life is not a shipwreck。
我希望你的生活不是海难现场。

God bless you,
上帝祝福你，

Actually I'm not sure what Swatch was expecting. If you do business in another nation, you're bound by their societal norms and laws there. My country Malaysia is none to "gracious" to open displays of LGBT. That is no secret. That's why for most LGBT Malaysians they keep a low profile. Is it ideal? No, but it what it is.

To openly promote LGBT is asking for trouble. So is it any of a surprise Swatch LGBT watches got confiscated. The fact that they got away with it in previous years does not mean that the government is okay with it. Just so you know Malaysia is 60 - 65% Muslim. They are also quite religious.

One may see it as standing up for the minority LGBT in Malaysia. However the flip side will see it as a disrespect of local customs and sensitivities. What you feel really depends on which side of the fence you're on. But one thing is for certain, it was a foolish move. Malaysians are not ignorant of what is happening in the west. You can bet every last penny that we know of the "displays" in the Pride Marches.

I'm not seeing any chance that Swatch's filing going anywhere. To make things worst for themselves, they have gotten into the radar of the authorities. They will definitely find it harder to import their watches into Malaysia even if the models are not LGBT ones.

What were your scriptures that you studied today in church? See if they are like mine on the west coast of America.

I've done something to my phone. I like the home page now but pictures look like negatives. Remember what picture negatives look like. It reminds me of that switch you flip that makes everything black but it's not as i have been flipping it on and off and it's still wrong. Anyone know how to fix this?

Please pray for me and someone whom I care for deeply, and his and my children. Major spiritual warfare and some scary stuff is happening. Thank you for your support and prayers.

Hi, everybody. I posted about this before, and then I thought my problem was resolved as some money was due to me from my deceased granddad's estate; I though it might enable me to move back home, but as it turns out, the money was not a large enough amount to make a move with.

I'm not happy where I currently live. I've not seen my hometown and family for over four years. I lost all of my inheritance money to a glib swindler in July 2020 and my life's been tough since then. I get only a small disability grant for my mental-health issues. I have an aunt in my hometown who helps financially, but she's very hesitant about me moving back. Finances, practicalities, my past behaviour of being erratic. (I was severely traumatized by the deaths of my grandparents/adoptive parents and have been struggling to find stability - I believe I'm okay now, but so many people still seem to believe I can't make it out there in the world by myself.)

I pray about this matter constantly and I do what I can to find a new place to live. I'm humbly asking for your prayers that the right place will open up and that my aunt will help me to make the change. Thank you, God bless.

Jesus Christ was betrayed to the death by one of this twelve disciples, Judas Iscariot. He was then arrested and placed on trial for a crime he did not commit. He was beaten, mocked, spat upon, had a crown of thorns placed on his head, and sent to a cross to hang there and die for our sins. And then he was buried in a tomb. But on the third day God the Father resurrected him from the dead, and now the stone in front of the tomb was removed.

So, when Mary Magdalene saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb, she ran to tell Simon Peter and John, two of Jesus’ disciples. So both of them ran to the tomb and they saw that Jesus’ body was gone. But as of that time they still did not understand the Scriptures, that Jesus must rise from the dead, even though Jesus and the Scriptures had told them that he was going to rise from the dead. Then they went back to their homes.

John 20:11-18 ESV


Mary deeply loved the Lord. And she was very sad that he had died and that now his body was not in the tomb. For she didn’t really comprehend Jesus’ predictions concerning his death and resurrection, either (Matthew 17:22-23; Mark 9:30-32).

And sometimes we may get sad over things going on in our own lives, and part of the reason for our sadness is because we don’t fully comprehend the words of our Lord, either. We understand to a point, but not with total clarity. We believe him. We believe his words. But we don’t really get the vastness of their meaning and how widespread is the meaning of what he said. And some of that is just because we live in flesh bodies and we are not yet in our heavenly bodies, so here on earth we only know and understand in part.

And what is jumping out at me here are the words of the angels and the words of Jesus to Mary, “Woman, why are you weeping?” We weep for many different reasons but sometimes it is because we don’t fully understand what is going on and why and where it is all going to lead. But we don’t have to understand it all to serve Jesus with our lives. We don’t have to have all our questions answered. Some things we are not going to understand until we get to heaven, and that’s okay. We just need to rest in Jesus.

But I love the way that Jesus comforted her. He was so gentle with her. He was so tender with her knowing that she didn’t understand what was going on but seeing her tender heart and how much she loved the Lord. And then what did he do? He sent her, a woman, to go tell his disciples (men) what Jesus had said to her. And what was her response? She believed him, and she did what he said to do, and she told his disciples what he had told her to tell them.

So, what is the lesson here? What can we learn from Mary’s encounter with Jesus? For one, what stands out to me here was Mary’s tender heart toward the Lord, her love for him, and her childlike faith. She trusted the Lord and she did what he said, although I am certain she did not have all her questions answered. And the Lord used her to speak his words to his disciples, even though she was a woman. So, why did Jesus use her? Why did he entrust to her the task of giving his message to his disciples? Because he knew she would obey him.

So, what else can we gain from this? I think one of the things is that we don’t have to understand everything. We don’t have to be able to explain everything. Now this is not an excuse for willful neglect of God’s word nor for deliberate disobedience to the truth of God’s word, claiming ignorance. This is just saying that we don’t have to understand it all to serve the Lord and to obey him. And we don’t have to be biblical scholars before we can share the good news of our salvation from sin. But we should be students of God’s word. And we should be seekers of truth.

For Jesus Christ used Mary to share his words with his disciples because she was a woman of simple faith who believed the Lord and who trusted him even when she didn’t understand everything, and even when she was hurting inside. He used her because of her tender heart towards the Lord and because of her love for him. And those are admiral qualities. For far too many people are full of head knowledge and the wisdom of this world, and so they are often resistant to having childlike faith which trusts the Lord and obeys him. So we need to be people of childlike faith who obey our Lord.

No Less

An Original Work / March 19, 2012

I can do no less than praise You,
Lord, for all You’ve done for me.
You died for my sins to save me,
So I would be set free.
I adore You! Lord, I praise You!
Jesus, Savior, King of kings!
You provided my redemption.
Your grace has pardoned me.

I can do no less than serve You.
Lord, Your witness I would be,
Telling others of Your love,
And why You died on that tree.
Tell of how You gave of Your life,
So from sin we’d be set free,
So we could worship You forever,
And live eternally.

I can do no less than love You,
Lord, for You have first loved me.
You gave of Your life so willing,
Because You cared for me.
Turn from my sin! Obey freely!
Live for You each passing day.
Read Your word, and follow Your lead,
Lord, as I humbly pray.

I seriously don't know why certain people think it is okay to allow minors to transition. I lied I know why, I just can't say it out without some people thinking of a phobic label to mark me. God forbid feelings might be hurt. I'm all for when you're a legal adult do unto yourself what you want. Because for most with age comes maturity. You're able to discern the consequences of your actions. You're better suited to adjusting mentally and emotionally to the choices you make.

Minors on the other hand are ill equipped to handle the peer pressure and authority exerted on them. And we all know how low the threshold is in western society to deem a person LGBT. A mention of I don't feel like myself is enough for teachers and medical professionals to think the worst of you. And these are the kind of people that egg the minors into all sort of permanent life altering choices. Affirming them when the minors themselves are not mentally matured to re-evaluate.

Now we are seeing a host of detransitioners. There are more than one of such videos. People who said they were wrong after they reached adulthood. Problem with de-transitioners is that there is no detransitioning. There is no biologically growing back the parts you surgically removed. There is no undoing the effect of hormones you had taken. All you're left is what you're now - sorry to say a monstrosity that you yourself can't live with.

So the question is why are the adults who affirmed the minors not being taken to task. Punished or have their licenses (teaching or medical) revoked? Silly question actually because the answer is obvious - they are protected by the administrations who are pro-lgbt agenda. And speaking up against them is akin to treason. So the detransitioners have little recourse (if any at all). The true victims.

They have my sympathies but what good are that? My feelings undo nothing. They still need to live with the choices made (made for them) till they draw their last breath.

That's why many western parents say "Leave the kids alone".

Hi sisters and brothers!

Im sorry I haven’t been as active recently,I didn’t want to make it seem like I left,that’s something I’ll never do;but anyways this past month I’ve improved massively.Though I haven’t found a church,much to my sadness.
I have strengthened against satans lies and intrusive thoughts alike,and they cause me no emotional or mental distress or fear.I love these periods of peace and am eternally grateful and thankful to the father for it.Unfortunately I know I will face more in the future,but I’m eager to face them head on and fight the devil,even though he’s much more powerful,I hate him and his lies.

But also I want to provide a testimony to anyone struggling:

“My friend,I understand what you’re going through,I’ve battled the throws of OCD for 5 years now,I’ve encountered almost every ocd trial in the books,even my scariest obsession ,apostasy(don’t look that up),however something has been on my mind since last week,I was walking a cart back into my local Walmart and I saw a mother wheeling her autistic daughter(May the Lord bless her heart) inside and what came into my mind when I saw her was Jesus’s words about the man born blind.
“
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”John 9:1-3

Something at that moment after I remembered those verses resonated in me that made me look back on these years I’ve walked with the lord and loved him and I’ve seen exactly what this meant in relation to my life.My friend,never ever see OCD as a curse,if anything consider it a blessing,as confusing as it may sound if you’re reading this in downright terror,something I’ve learned is this “would I have sought after and loved the Lord if I never had OCD?” And I can surely answer “No” had I not been allowed to suffer OCD,I never would’ve faithfully,lovingly clinged to Jesus.
My friend,I was born with OCD SO God could work his work within me,and my sanctification proves that.

My testimony to you my friend,is that you NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP ON JESUS,NEVER!,keep going,life here is but a twinkle,suffering OCD may seem like an eternity,but the trials I’ve faced have done nothing but greatly benefit me.Always remember Romans 8:28 and Philippians 1:6.Never see ocd as a curse,and remember the greatest contributors and fellow believers were sufferers of OCD themselves,the two most prominent ones Were Martin Luther himself and John Bunyan!

Remember this testimony my friends;brothers;& sisters with OCD.

If any of you are in the throes of OCD and it’s terrors, please never hesitate to reach out to me!

I am in my early 70's, and never heard this until about two years ago,

I first heard it from a Presbyterian minister, who said that the later Pauline letters seemed to be more 'institutional' in that they wanted Christianity to be more in sync with the Roman Empire in order to spread the faith.

I later asked a Catholic sister that question and to my surprise, she concurred with the Presbyterian minister and said she had heard that from a number of sources.

I then looked at Wikipedia:

There is nearly universal consensus in modern New Testament scholarship on a core group of authentic Pauline epistles whose authorship is rarely contested: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon. Several additional letters bearing Paul's name are disputed among scholars, namely Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus. Scholarly opinion is sharply divided on whether or not Colossians and 2 Thessalonians are genuine letters of Paul. The remaining four contested epistles – Ephesians, as well as the three known as the Pastoral epistles (1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus) – have been labeled pseudepigraphical works by most critical scholars.[3][4][5] Some scholars have proposed that Paul may have used an amanuensis, or secretary, in writing the disputed letters,[6] although such a solution would not explain the fact that the disputed letters appear to have been written at least a decade after Paul’s death. Authorship of the Pauline epistles - Wikipedia

Click to expand...

I would really like to hear from Christians of all denominations as to what you have been told about Paul's letters. The Presbyterian minister is very progressive, and we are jointly involved in several interfaith social justice ministries. My Catholic sister friend, on the other hand, has a similar religious background to mine and I respect and trust her insights.

Thanks for participating in this discussion; I honestly don't know what to think. St. Paul has written things I find quite controversial--and now I find myself thinking that things like "slaves, obey your masters," and "wives, obey your husbands" must obviously be some of the ideas that aren't really his. (I guess that's because I try to think the best of people, especially saints.) But as I said, I am uncertain...

See Does God change his mind?

please pray for me. I have forgotten my Christian path again became worldly and the Lord has let me learn my lesson. im scared and want to quit alcohol and blaspheming God before others and in my mind because the way things turned out. I want God to renew my heart and mind so that I can be right with him again. I guess this is more of a confession but I struggle. maybe things cant always turn out the best but God always has a plan far greater then we can ever imagine. Please pray for me.

Linda Ronstadt turned 77 yesterday. One of my favorite singers. 10 years ago, she was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Which is not a diagnostic failing. She actually has Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. The early symptoms of PSP are very similar to Parkinson's. But PSP is worse. It affects balance, locomotion, eye movement, and speech. It usually progresses more rapidly than Parkinson's and it doesn't respond to medication. The fact that she's lived with it for 10 years is pretty remarkable. But it's still terribly tragic that this disease has robbed her of her voice. Linda was such a versatile performer. She could sing most anything--rock, country, standard ballads, movie songs, and even light opera. A few of my favorites:

Out of all of the commandments in the OT, how can we determine which is the greatest commandment to which all of the others are subordinate without relying on what Jesus said on the topic?

For example, are there commands such as those against murder, sexual immorality, and idolatry that we should be willing to die before we break that are more important than others? Should the command that is repeated the most often in the Bible be the greatest? Should the command that the Israelites were criticized the most for breaking be the greatest? Should the commands that have the highest penalty for breaking be the greatest? Should the 7 Noahide laws be the greatest? Why or why not?

You can continue with the verse given, your own thought or? As long as it makes sense. Continue until it can't.

OSAS has been much debated. This thread is not for that. This thread is to develop pithy sayings for the alternatives to OSAS. After we get a valid list, we can perhaps reach a consensus on the best alternative and put it through the same scrutiny OSAS has enjoyed. Here are a few of the other possible positions. Please opine on your favorite, or develop one or more of your own.

Once saved, then lost, may be saved again, but that's the last chance (OSTLMBSABTTLC)

False Prophets prophecy in the name of the Lord things the Lord has not told them to prophecy

Modern false prophets warn of the end of the world and of the day of the Lord using scriptures out of context to push an agenda and use fear tactics to draw attention

Satan and the world government are using Bible prophecies as a blueprint to create false flag signs through technological advances to deceive the masses that the end is near or day of the Lord has come.

The purpose of these false flags is to draw the people away from their own religious beliefs so that they can seek relief from another religious party and cause them to blame and hate their own religious parties for their sufferings ….

False flags are harmful acts created with the intent to hide the true criminals and blame them on others for a specific purpose.

In this case the false flags will be perpetrated by governments . The false prophets will announce such signs as Gods warnings to repent and return to Him.


These false flag signs will cause a falling away from ones religion and cause conversion to another religion

This is the new age world and the path the governments of the world are heading with no changes in crimes committed against humanity

Even during the so called paradise and golden age to come, that will be created after the chaos, will seek to hide the same old sins committed as was committed in the old world they seek to replace.

They will continue to do what they will with no fear of God wrath because they have, since the beginning of their existence, committed so many evils against humanity yet have not seen God rise up since the days of Egypt.

These modern False Prophets for hire work with the governments for the purpose of spreading lies. Though their prophecies seem to come true, it is done by modern magic for manipulation of the masses . It is done by modern sorcery and witchcraft at a grand scale .

But God warns us about these false prophets . God is not behind their criminal acts. God is not behind these false flag signs.

Jesus foretold perilous times would come during the time of the gentiles reigning on the earth. But the end is not yet

Don’t be deceived keep the faith stand on Gods words alone. Peace

I'd like to see a space where we can post sermons we find for discussion (from YouTube or wherever). I don't know if there's a place for this here currently.

This might be the best way to celebrate Nathan Bedford Forrest Day. Let's hope Tennessee makes this a tradition!

Tennessee Arrests Klan Leader on Same Day It Honors 1st Grand Wizard​

Three years ago, the Tennessee state Senate voted of 20-to-9 to keep July 13 a Day of Special Observance marking the birthday of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a millionaire slave trader, Confederate general, mass murderer of more than 200 Black Union POWs, and the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

At a July 13 press conference, Columbia police reported that 38-year-old Daniel Walls and an unnamed 17-year-old had been arrested for allegedly plastering “bias rhetoric flyers” on three black churches there.

“You have been paid another social visit by the Old Glory Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,” the photos show that the flyers read “We have a dark history here and because of you a bright future. BE WARNED race traitors, mixed breeds, communist homosexuals and other walks of Godless degeneracy. The Klan is back and here to stay, so you’d better make amends or stay away.”
