I had not read your post, Moriah, when I posted mine right afterwards, which is really odd. I was trying to continue my thought from the prior post. Paul said works were by grace. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may...

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 4:11

Yes, and amen! But many make the mistake of only fearing and trembling, and trying to do "works." I was terrified of grace "doctrine," because of the "license" problem. The other thread started by the OP says it all.

1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.. This finally sunk in for me, too. :clap:

The law convicts, it is just -- but it will never justify. I admit I've tried unsuccessfully to stop sinning altogether....all the time without fully comprehending, went about attempting to establish my own righteousness. It did not work, needless to say. It brought me to to my knees in...

I know there are things worth than death, like having the spirit of murder, and hatred, with which we will not enter the kingdom of God. This is why the thread is not about just war theory, but rather - the method of conditioning, the manufacturing of a man into a killing machine...and how that...

I didn't ask what the purpose of the military was, I asked does screaming, "Blood. Blood. Blood makes the green grass grow," and chanting, "Kill. Kill. Kill without mercy," in reponse to the question, "What's the spirit of the bayonet?" ...and repeatedly stabbing dummys with a bayonet mounted...

says the drill sgt. to the soldiers preparing to go to Iraq. The soldiers scream back: "Blood. Blood. Blood makes the green grass grow." "What's the spirit of the bayonet?" the drill sergeant asks. The troops chant at the top of their lungs: "Kill. Kill. Kill without mercy." I recently...

Is this a thinly disguised Todd Bentley thread? I thought we were done with that topic. :confused: :blush:

Well, okay. I'm glad you weren't angry with me. But, the political discussions will probably die down of their own accord now that the elections are over. While political discussions breed partisanship and hatred, the healing debates can get equally heatedbetween the two camps, at least from...

Jim, one time I started a thread BEFORE the elections concerning Rupert Murdoch's support of Hillary Clinton, and you came into the thread and rather angrily told me to start the thread in the political forum. :) Meanwhile there were about 12 threads on healing you had either started or were...

David had the opportunity to kill Saul, 2x, but he merely cut off the corner of his cloak (while Saul was hunting him like an animal). Jesus did not rebel against the government, didn't take up with the zealots. He went meekly like a lamb to the slaughter. Daniel practiced civil disobedience...

This post gives me an icky feeling.

Look to Biblical examples. Its how I've gotten through the Clinton and Bush administrations, and I am required to interact with one of branches of government, which is many cases has seemingly been systematically stripping away the bill of rights in the Constitution. How did David act...

I know, sometimes I felt like people just wanted to put a damper on the enthusiasm felt by African Americans, by referring to Obama as "not really black." I'm sure its been made clear to him that he's "black," innumerable times in innumerable ways, sometimes subtle, othertimes not so subtle...

This is not true. As someone who is in an interracial marriage and who represents criminal clients, I can tell you racism is alive and well, at least in in Ohio. In Cuyahoga County (county seat - Cleveland), which voted for Obama (and always votes Democratic), there was a recent newspaper...

Amen. Lord, please give him the strength, courage and integrity to stand up against very powerful special interests in Washington and lead him into Your truth.

Just clip it out while the Democrats are in power, and then paste it back when the Republicans return. I would have thought you'd learned the ropes around here by now. ^_^

...all of which has nothing to do with Saddam Hussein or Iraq. Rattling sabers at Russia over Georgia has nothing to do with it either. Of course, our funding and training of the Taliban in Afghanistan in the years before 911 might have had something to do with it. Those were the folks McCain...

brought upon us, which war, Iraq? It wasn't brought upon us. We have 700 bases around the world. Further, we can't fight terror by overextending our military into misadventures.
