Surely love can cover a multitude of sins... surely there is no offense in love... oh hallelujah :,) Thank you for reminding us of it.</p> <p>pdaddy, that scripture fits perfectly.</p> <p>We would all do ourselves good to see and remind ourselves of this.</p> <p>Love Varienne </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3099#post-54542 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:04:10 +0000 pdaddy 54542@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>it's one of my favorite movies. It gives me inspiration to make a difference in individual lives. </p> <p>1Cor 9:22<br /> When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3072#post-54538 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:26:03 +0000 Lucinda 54538@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Thank for your insight Sandy.</p> <p>I think some Christians believe they can by pass or neglect their Bibles (which some will say is the letter), because <strong>NOW</strong> we have the Spirit.</p> <p>I see this way, the Spirit makes us alive to the letter, fulfilling and completing the work of the the letter in us. </p> <p>Also some Christians believe this is permission to just live our Christian life <em>"on experiences or mystical interpretations of the Bible."</em> </p> <p>Experiences and seeing allegories in the Bible are fine, but each must be proved true and supported by studying the literal meaning of the Bible. </p> <p>The Spirit and the letter are not enemies, but friends. </p> <p>Sandy said, <em>"My believing that what this is saying that we need for both to take place. Meaning we need to allow the letter to kill us daily first, in order for the Spirit to bring that life to us ultimately. Because if we do not die daily first, as Paul seemed to be saying in 1 Cor. 15:31, then neither can the Spirit bring that life He desires to bring within us daily either. But want to know if this witnesses to your spirits, because I am not sure entirely if this is what Watchman Nee was saying there for sure. because he, of course, is talking about how important the spirit does give us life of course. But can this happen entirely without both taking place? Even though Paul was there to bring that life to those thru his preaching what the spirit did lead him to preach so that this life could begin within them."</em></p> <p>My spirit bears witness to what you said. </p> <p>One doesn’t work to the exclusion of the other, but one is incomplete without the other. In other words, it's not either or, but both.</p> <p>Blessings,<br /> Lucinda </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3100#post-54530 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:21:35 +0000 4Jesus 54530@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>plus share one of my favorite songs about our Lord and savior by the Gaithers. Hope it blesses you as much as it always does me. </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3EdX8-heAc&#038;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3EdX8-heAc&#038;feature=related</a></p> <p>Love ya all,<br /> Sandy </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3099#post-54529 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:50:42 +0000 4Jesus 54529@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>IMO there are those in many different churches that I would not tell anyone to attend at all as well, that do have a true heart after the Lord after all. </p> <p>Also, perhaps the Catholic church did begin correctly in the beginning mostly. Getting off into error along the way, just as possibly many others have also done over the years since the church began? </p> <p>Love,<br /> Sandy </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3072#post-54528 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:36:52 +0000 4Jesus 54528@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>by the way guys. I am reading that book also. And finding so much in it as well. Lucinda thinks so much for posting where we can read it. As I have never read anything that he wrote that was not excellent as I see it. </p> <p>So far I have read the first two chapters. And will probably finish the rest tomorrow. </p> <p>One thing I want to share about something I believe the Lord did speak to me some time ago. And that was about what it says in 2 Cor. 3:<br /> 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament not of the letter, but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. </p> <p>My believing that what this is saying that we need for both to take place. Meaning we need to allow the letter to kill us daily first, in order for the Spirit to bring that life to us ultimately. Because if we do not die daily first, as Paul seemed to be saying in 1 Cor. 15:31, then neither can the Spirit bring that life He desires to bring within us daily either. But want to know if this witnesses to your spirits, because I am not sure entirely if this is what Watchman Nee was saying there for sure. because he, of course, is talking about how important the spirit does give us life of course. But can this happen entirely without both taking place? Even though Paul was there to bring that life to those thru his preaching what the spirit did lead him to preach so that this life could begin within them. </p> <p>Love,<br /> Sandy </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3072#post-54526 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:21:21 +0000 4Jesus 54526@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Yes,that is true about Adam Valley ant. But Adam also, as I see it had to be there when she did eat of it. And therefore truly messed up by not telling her to go talk to God about this first. Why? Well I have thought maybe it was because he wanted to see if she keeled over first, before taking a bite himself. And not realizing God was talking about a spiritual death happening mainly when the did, of course, she didn't keel over immediately. And so he took a bite of it too not telling Eve what she should have done before she did the dastardly deed. Neither of them going to God first talking to him before doing the dastardly deed. Lesson to that story, is go to God first before eating much of anything still today.</p> <p>LOL</p> <p>a funny little story I began to make up about Adam allowing her to do it, while Adam sat there doing nothing, one night in a Bible study in church, which occurred to me some years ago. But also real serious about the conclusion as well. </p> <p>I know some of the movies about what happened always show Eve taking this fruit to Adam as if he was not there at all. But the Bible does not say she had to do so. It says she gave it to him after partaking herself, as I recall. </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3099#post-54525 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:15:33 +0000 Jonathan016 54525@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>I remember watching it and I found it touching.</p> <p>**Spoilers**</p> <p>The Pope at the end recognizing Joshua was Jesus was really cool. I could only hope and pray the Catholic church could see Christ as clearly as they portrayed in the film.</p> <p>If I rememeber right I believe it was a book written by a Catholic priest. I remember he wrote another book and I believe it was entitled, "Never Alone."</p> <p>Ah yes, I just looked it up, Joseph F. Girzone wrote Joshua, the book, and "Never Alone." Never Alone was very powerful and it touched me deeply. It was written from a Catholic perspective but his heart was truly for Jesus. It just showed me there are some truly genuine believers in the Catholic church who do love Christ quite sincerely, despite all the error that is taught.... Just like there are alot of truly dedicated believers in the Protestant church even if alot of false things are taught as well.</p> <p>But I digress!</p> <p>Yes, the movie touched me and it impressed upon me the Humility of Jesus, but also showed the authority of Christ as even the Pope knelt before Him. I saw it quite a few years ago so I don't remember it entirely. </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3099#post-54524 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:58:31 +0000 thos 54524@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Can I highly recommend watching a DVD called Joshua.</p> <p>You can see it on this link...</p> <p><a href="http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/movie/pid/5041686/a/Joshua.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/movie/pid/5041686/a/Joshua.htm</a></p> <p>I would like some discussion on it...</p> <p>You can rent it out probably, it was first released in 2002.</p> <p>I found it really good.</p> <p>Who has already seen it???</p> <p>Blessings,</p> <p>Carl Emerson. </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3095/page/3#post-54519 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 02:01:50 +0000 4Jesus 54519@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>I appreciate the compliment Andrew. But no, I am just here to share with others in love. </p> <p>Love,<br /> Sandy </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/814/page/4#post-54517 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:33:32 +0000 John Sutton 54517@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>In the USA, FEMA says it's a good idea to keep a couple weeks worth of food/water/supplies for emergencies (earthquakes, hurricanes, etc..) but the recent NDAA bill can define a person who has this much stuff on hand as a "potential terrorist".</p> <p>Weird stuff going on all over, really. It's really sad. :( </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3095/page/3#post-54516 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:28:26 +0000 John Sutton 54516@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Great post Sandy, thank you! :) </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3095/page/3#post-54515 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:43:49 +0000 Andrew 54515@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Sandy - we ought to make you a Mod here!!</p> <p>Bless you,</p> <p>Andrew </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3095/page/3#post-54514 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:41:05 +0000 4Jesus 54514@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>True Andrew, if things are left alone it will die down. But the key to all of this is those that you have witnessed to as being brothers or sister in the Lord, whether agreeing with what apparently has happened here, is loving them anyway. As love is the commodity that covers all sins. Whereas anything less, will not work at all. And the same thing will happen again and again, until we all begin to walk in this toward one another. At least that is what I believe to be what will overcome this problem. Meaning not to choose up sides with anyone, but to love all involved. And once we do begin to understand this, then and only then, will god be able to prevail against what the devil does try to cause to happen finally. </p> <p>Love you all,<br /> Sandy</p> <p>PS. And by the way, I have owned a forum before. One that was a nasty one with fighting taking place from everyone posting there. And the Lord revealed to me how to clean it up little by little, over at least a years time into the place that became a place for people to come and share with one another, without be abused or or called names by anyone. Because there are few forums that are a place like that where people can share in peace, whether always agreeing or not. And that is what I felt led to make this. But I had to make some ground rules in order to do so too. And one important one that no matter who was my friend, I endeavored never to ever take sides with anyone as the owner ever. And always informed them by mail if they began to abuse others, they would be removed. The one I had I was able to partially ban them where they could no longer post without what was written to be examined first by a moderator. </p> <p>But I also learned a lesson about how difficult it is to run a forum also. Meaning that one is generally ever going to be the most popular dude there ever. In fact, I had a very good friend of mine leave, because he knew I would ban him if he continued to post. And you now what. We were still friends because I knew he left not for himself, but in respect for me entirely. He is today with the Lord sadly, my missing this friend very much. But I also know he is in the better place for sure. </p> <p>And oh, by the way, I gave the forum back to the gal that owned it, asking me to take it over, when she did return. Because I promised her I would do so. And since then, while I could open one, I do not feel led to do so at this time at all. </p> <p>But just wanted you to know I know what kind of job you do have first hand. </p> <p>Blessings,<br /> Sandy </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3051#post-54513 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:38:09 +0000 Lucinda 54513@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Thank you for your insight Kathleen.</p> <p>Lucinda </p> http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/topic/3095/page/3#post-54512 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:20:32 +0000 Roger Souden 54512@http://www.johnthebaptisttv.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks Andrew... </p>
