Shadowman, If in any way, I have been a poor witness of G-d's love or have not taken you seriously, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I trust completely that G-d can make everything come out right.:) All the best, Mark

Tao_Equus, I took offense when I read your post of 9:04 last night and posted before reading the rest of your posts. I actually got upset and I'm sorry. I understand now what you were trying to say and I hope I haven't been unkind to you in any way. I guess I get carried away (overly...

(2c) Learned to wait a second with the boys before whippin it off, if you know what I mean.:D

Seems to be similar to the story of Lot (Luz) and the angels. The old man attempts to be a good host and when his guest is threatened by the evil men, he offers his own daughter to assuage their "appetites", but the men didn't want the virgin, they wanted the concubine (a "harlot"). They abuse...

I would advise continued prayer to The Great Physician in addition to anything else.

Amen! I second this down to the last word. Thanks Dondi.

Ahahahahaha! :D:D:D Me like that!

Sorry. Disregard - already posted in Comparitive Studies...

Oops.:) I like this...yes, G-d can use anyone. That's the beautiful thing!

Yeah, I think so. The first ones directly make things better for your neighbor and the others, generally so. Resting on Sabbath - good for the hood (or certainly not bad), honoring parents - kids grow up to be good neighbors, etc. (imo) It's not so much that loving G-d and neighbors does away...

I read back through it (Romans 13) again. I really don't think this is what Paul is saying. The point (imo) is to love "the Lord your G-d" with all your mind, etc and your neighbor as yourself. I generally agree with your point here.

Here's what I think he's saying... "Obey your local rulers because that's what G-d wants you to do. For example, look at the laws (commandments) G-d gave you...this and that are specifically designed to make you get along peacefully with your neighbors and the rest of them, well, they're...

Unfortunately true.

Amen!

Sorry - Not trying to be. Did you read the opening three verses? If I'm making too much of this, I'll drop it.

Fulfillment of which law? Still seems to me Paul is speaking of man's law and how to get along in society.

Amen! His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. To think of His goodness and faithfulness bring tears to my eyes. He's waiting for us to even begin to turn to Him and will answer before we call. "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his...

But which law - G-d's law or man's? Catch the way the chapter begins... 1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist...

I don't mean it to be. Sorry if it comes off that way...:) They're Jesus' words. If my human interpretation is in error, I'll stand corrected.
