God accepts as we are, as unrighteous sinners, but He doesn't want us to stay that way
He loves us too much to let us stay in all that darkness.

First you have to read your Bible and find out what it teaches. You as well as me our saints, if we have been born again and received the Holy Spirit. God is no respecter of persons. We are not accepted because of our righteousness. This is basic.
I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my entire life. Where did you get such obvious heresy from?quote=Maranatha27;First you have to read your Bible and find out what it teaches.
Wooooo Hooooooo!
Cooperation, good word.
Weve been studying "God helping us" for the past
few weeks. I'm trying to drill it into their heads and
mine, that anything we want to attempt will only
be successful if we have "God helping us"
Pastor was talking of the difference between the good
Kings and the evil kings in the OT.
The Good kings always had this written about them.
"And God was with Him"
Yeah it can all get a bit confusing when we read the Bible, cant it?
And then there are so many who are just
sure they have all the answers,
but some things even the ECF
couldnt agree on
because God is SO complex and we have only our
tiny bank of understanding and experience to try to
understand Him. So we see in part for now.
Ya know, I drink SO little caffeine,
dunno what causes me to get so long winded.
In person I mostly just sit and smile and nod LOL.
Must be it's just so nice to connect with others who
are like minded.
Nothing to forgive!So forgive my rattling.
Yes, we are so blessed sister!!
Uh huh.You girls have got all wrong!
(just teasin')
Praise God !First you have to read your Bible and find out what it teaches. You as well as me our saints, if we have been born again and received the Holy Spirit. God is no respecter of persons. We are not accepted because of our righteousness. This is basic.

Aw, thank you. But I will try to be more succinct.Very true!!we can't do anything without the Lord helping us.
For sure! We see in part...but one day, we shall see clearlycan't wait for that day LOL! But I'm thankful for how it's like now too because not understanding anything helps me trust God...lol...if I knew everything wow I'd be even more proud
I drink caffeineheehee... don't worry about being long winded though!
Nothing to forgive!
AMEN.
Well then we're all set since we are king/priests.I know. When are they gonna learn how stupid anybody who isn't a priest is, anyway?
I"m so sorry.Sunlover,
I lost my mother to cancer this summer. Thank you, though, for your thoughts.
Love,

Nobody's dead after they pass on from here, Earth.Dead saints can't pray, because they're dead.
That means they are not in heaven... they are in the grave, waiting for the second coming of Christ, who will give them the gift of eternal life at the resurrection.
Uh, oh. That almost sounds like it's a bad thing, or not "good enough" thang...quote=Dorothea;43696141That's because you look at everything through the Bible.
It is the part by which all else is calibrated. It is the part by which all else is made sense or nonsense of. It is the mission essential, the indispensible part.Nothing else. There is more to being a Christian than the Bible. The Bible is part of it.
Believing something happened is qualitatively different than what meaning that something having happened holds for our faith. I believe something supernatural happened at Fatima, for instance.There are things that happened and are believed that are not explained in the Bible, as I'm sure you know.
The reason we bother is... well,... to us people who only see things thru the bible, it's like like watching your favorite cousin sleepwalking toward a cliff with a beatific smile on his somnambulant face.Anyway, I don't know why anybody bothers. The Orthodox are going to believe it's fine to ask Saints to pray for them and with them to God, and other Christian faiths that don't. Oh well.

Except for when their paths have added footsteps needlessly, and often unbiblically.
And why, oh why, would you think we're sleepwalking, when we're in Christ??? Come on now, Rick - do you really think we're mindlessly sleepwalking, because we look to the Church. Scripture, and Tradition to make sure we stay in Christ, instead of "only" Scripture (which is really impossible anyway)? There are plenty of "strange Gospels" out there, but I know as long as I *mindfully* follow in the footsteps of those who have walked this path before me, I remain in Christ.
Mary
Except for when their paths have added footsteps needlessly, and often unbiblically.
His Word is a lamp unto our feet and path....not the flashlights of other men.
Thus says the Lord, Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, `We will not walk in it. Jeremiah 6:16
What about the Transfiguration?Mont said:Still no biblical basis, or examples, have been offered of saints on earth being able to communicate with a saint in Heaven.
I got it from studying the Word. I will provide scripture if you like. Can I pray to Mary or a beloved Saint and they will relay my message to God?I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my entire life. Where did you get such obvious heresy from?
