Amen.

Amen.

Actually, I wasn't seeking to "reprove" you at all. Rather, I was merely showing how Jesus spoke on the whole "time to weep" and "time to laugh" issue...even if some/many don't like HIS INTERPRETATION of such. Incidentally, Solomon also had such things as the following to say in relation to...

You're asking me about festivals/feasts? Which one? Passover...when Jesus was busy flipping over tables and driving out the money changers with a scourge of small cords (John 2:13-17)? Tabernacles...when Jesus went up privately because the Jews sought to kill Him (John 7:1-2)? Read the...

According to the One Who is greater than Solomon, whom you quoted: Luke 6:20-26 "And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. BLESSED ARE YE THAT WEEP NOW: FOR YE SHALL...

As I mentioned earlier, I've been accused of "being wound too tight" for many, many years now. In fact, it basically began the moment that I got saved and the vast majority of my "critics" were professing Christians...some of them even "pastors". As I also mentioned, I've been rebuked by God...

While you're out and about and "having fun with the Lord today", you just might want to ask to see his credentials. Afterall, "the Lord" of the Bible has a lot to say about being "stone faced". In fact, He Himself "set His FACE LIKE FLINT", for we read: Isaiah 50:5-7 "The Lord GOD hath opened...

And...??? THIS is your attempt to show that God "jokes" or uses humor? Give it a rest, friend. Psalm 2:1-3 "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed...

No offense, friend, as you seem to be genuinely seeking the truth, but this only "strongly suggests" what you say if we isolate it from other scriptures. For example, why start in Acts chapter 20? Why not start in Acts chapter 2, where we read: Acts 2:26 "And they, CONTINUING DAILY with one...

So, rather than any CITATIONS, we have your IMAGINATION? That's what I thought.

If you believe that the God of the Bible is a humorous God, then please cite some of His "jokes" for us. I'll be waiting...

And I guess that such "proof" would be dependant upon which "Jesus" we are talking about... The Jesus of scripture or the "another Jesus" that so many today seem to be following? The Jesus of scipture was/is no comedian, friend. In fact, He's the furthest thing from a comedian that you'll...

"Acting STERILE"? For starters, unlike some, both I and some others are not "acting". We're devout Christians and, as such, we constantly strive to be more and more conformed to the image of the One Whom we call "Lord". Jesus wasn't/isn't a "joke-teller", friend, and neither was/is His...

Apparently, what we've been discussing is STILL being "missed" by some...

Let's talk about election and predestination... Isaiah 42:1-4 "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; MINE ELECT, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street...

Generally speaking, I've watched multitudes of people make the following mistake in relation to the book of Revelation: They START with it, rather than realizing that it's a CULMINATION of everything that has ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN. IOW, we should never start with the book of Revelation to...

I can assure you that you're not the first person to think such about me. Even here, LLoJ has voiced the same and I've heard it from countless others over the years ever since my conversion to Christ. In fact, I even had someone post an editorial about me in a major NY newspaper (The Daily News)...

IOW, you just refuted your own argument? In any case, there's not a single verse anywhere in scripture that even remotely suggests that the Sabbath is any other day but the seventh day of the week or what we commonly call "Saturday"...and I'm not even close to being a Seventh Day Adventist...

Aiming to please Christ is always the best route to go...even if it's a road that's not too well travelled. We ALL really should be more sober than we are. Jesus never spoke a word that He didn't first receive from His Father (John 3:34, 8:26, 38, 40, etc.) and, as Christians, we really ought to...

:swoon: Did I log on to the correct forum? Yikes! You make me sound like a monster... Seriously, though, I'll certainly help to keep you accountable...even as I seek to hold myself accountable to the same. Having grown up watching such things a "Monty Python's Flying Circus", I've had a...
