God's Fountain Pen

Ok, this is for those who believe God is responsible for the majority of the bad things that happen in our world. So, if He gets the blame for those 'challenging circumstances', then 'who gets the credit when things work together for good in life?

Daniel 9:27, "He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven, He will put an end to the 'sacrifice offering'...? According to the Word, Jesus is the only One who ended the practice of sacrifice, by becoming the 'Final and complete' sacrifice for all. And as far as the 3 1/2 years are concerned, that was the fulfillment of His time of ministry at age 33 1/2 He was crucified. There is no other place in scripture that supports the activity of sacrificing starting up again. So, how can that be the antichrist? Furthermore, if that's supposed to be the 'tribulation period', how can it be referring to both periods of time?

Is there anywhere in the world where adoption is completely free?

There are so many children out there who need so much more than a 'sponsorship'. It frustrates me to see them on commercials and not be able to physically reach out to them with arms of love and the personal attention they obviously need, that is seldom found at 'institutional orphanages'.

Every one will stand before Him at the resurrection. Whether they believed in Him or not. Leaving the arguments outside, for the sake of genuine consideration, What Words would mean the most to you, in that moment?

Personally, For me, it has been the lessons of true 'Grace', as well as the gift of God's 'Tender Mercy'.

I'd have to say, 'Looking through the eyes of Love' and 'You Light up my life'.

How have you seen or received His demonstrated love on your behalf?

Rather, why follow Him and not them? Though they may have existed?

Well, just curious, How many of them were involved in the Creation of the world? Or gave their own life as a sacrifice for another? Any of them visibly seen resurrected from the dead? Or make any offers of eternal life and have the power tp fulfill that promise? According to the Word, in the last days, there will be false prophets who will claim 'deity'. They will be given power to deceive many by their so-called 'miracles'. True faith is not merely based physical or 'factual' evidence alone. It is 'founded' by the Holy Spirit of God. No other character gets as personally and powerfully involved with the lives of His believers as God does. Neither have I ever heard of anyone else who fulfilled prophecy as Jesus did. Nor has anyone ever loved as passionately as Jesus does the sinner. While I do not deny the potential reality of those previously mentioned I can't help but wonder, 'what was their purpose for existence'? Although they may have done some 'good' for some when they WERE here, Where are they now? Only Jesus claimed and has fulfilled His Word to be 'Omnipresent', by His Spirit, to His followers.

One example: tadpoles into toads. There are a few more that I'm aware of. Just wonderin' if you can think of any others.

Looking for true stories of when you 'knew you did something' that deserved judgement or punishment; yet you received God's direct or indirect Mercy and Grace and Forgiveness instead.

I know they are 'bitter' and are cured for enhancing their flavor. Just wondering if anybody knew if they were unhealthy to eat straight from the tree?

If a person never accepts Christ as their Savior, thus not becoming 'born again' by the Holy Spirit of God, how can there be a spiritual life, to be put to death. Likewise, if the soul within mankind is the 'eternal essence' of that man,destined to 'live on forever' whether in God's presence or 'otherwise', and the body has already died, then what's left, to be subjected to this final death sentence?

Who or what has caused you to close your heart and soul off from God's love? I totally agree that religion is not an expression of His love to anyone. It is a 'book of biased rules'. I heard a saying once about 'not throwing the baby out with the bath water.' I wonder how many people are missing out on the greatest experience in this life, because of the narrowmindedness of 'religious teachings'. Everyone needs God. All are invited to know Him personally and directly. As you grow to love Him,through your experience of His genuine love toward you, so does your desire to follow His 'graceful' ways outlined in His "guidebook" the BIBLE. There really is no need for any'one' else to tell you how to live. All His perfect directions are found in The Word of God.

Ever notice, When something bad happens, God gets the 'blame'? People even use the name of His Son "Jesus Christ" to curse Him for causing their problems. Ever wonder 'why' no one uses the name of 'buddah' or 'harrai chrishna'? (forgive the mispell) , when they feel like cursin'? However when things go well or something 'great' happens in their lives, 'they' take the credit.... It is also interesting to note, that the de-il seems to be 'only' responsible for the 'temptations' to sin, in this world... Why is that?....All backwards????

Please feel free to elaborate!
