When you know His son, know what He has done for you, you realize how much God loves you.
Quahom1;100829 Nor does it state one MUST choose. :o v/r Joshua[/quote said:By endurance on YOUR part YOU will acquire YOUR souls.
luke 21;19 i would say that endurance is making a choice, if we dont endure we are making the choice to not aquire our souls.(or our future)
"Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve."—JOSHUA 24:15.and Jesus said to love Jehovah with our whole soul and mind ,we could choose not to do that , which reminds me of what moses said,
The Israelites who heard Moses’ farewell speech had a similar decision to make. They had to choose either God’s rule or that of the nations of that time. Here was Moses’ advice: "I have put life and death before you . . . You must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him." (Deuteronomy 30:19, 20) Yes, our choice is also a life-and-death matter.
Jehovah God is now offering us an opportunity for life in his new world, where he will bless faithful people with the desires of their hearts. Will we choose to live there?
Loving the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is not just an emotional feeling. "This is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments." (1 John 5:3) Long ago, when choosing life or death, ancient Israel was told that loving Jehovah meant obeying him. "I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the malediction; and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive, you and your offspring, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him; for he is your life and the length of your days."—Deut. 30:19, 20.
The great day of Jehovah is near. It is near, and there is a hurrying [of it] very muchZepheniah 1;14

Actually, it was your suggestion, I just went with it.
Cheers Snoopy,
Thank you to both Tariki and yourself in your efforts to open a door, introduce, and educate. I see some struggle and I personally like it because I know it will be fruitful in ways I don't fathom. I wish that I was more educated in Buddhism and so I will be someday. I submit that a person demonstrates a strength or wisdom being able to walk in fire without being burned... so I'd say be free to walk in this forum whenever you get the chance.
I even apologised for a minor hijacking of the thread

Q...
"handbasket" if i'm not mistaken. I believe that 17th was referring to a duel on the field of honor to be fought with handbags. Maybe this should be moved to the "completely useless thread" ?

Hi,
It’s simply a notion from the world of business / marketing. One person’s perception of the appropriateness or not of my contributions to this thread is different to another’s; that is what I meant by this comment in this specific case.
I see posts from others on this thread appertaining to the Dhammapada; they too are out of order I presume and worthy of being directed elsewhere.
