What you have written is so very true and it is a very disturbing thought! It's reminds me of a couple very disturbing and sad questions I have heard many people ask like: "Why doesn't Jesus appear to us now to prove to everyone who he is?" *Well he did that already? *And: "Why doesn't God show us miracles anymore?" *Well, I suppose many are "Blind and can not see", or maybe they don't quite understand the concept of a miracle: either way it is an extremely disturbing and sad thing, especially when it is professed believer's who have asked these question's. God Bless, Lyn

:duh: I just noticed the date, *What happened* I think this was a great topic!!! Well, how about ~Religous Poetry~? The poetry groups seem to do well*** Just a thought, Lyn

I think even when Jesus walked the earth he was opposed to doing circus tricks to prove anything to anybody! Satan tried to trick Jesus by using scripture to make him jump from the cliff.

People are going to have to realize that spirituality is based on faith.
Jesus came here and lived a life to show us how to live ours. He even gave his own life to show us that life doesn't end with the physical being. Imagine the reality of being there yourself in his place. This is real. Think about them grabbing you and telling you to renounce your beliefs or die in a terrible fashion.

I have told Jesus many times that I am strong, I am brave but I could not hold a candle to his faith and his courage in what he did for us (not for himself).

God is great in my thoughts. Well, some of us are gong to get the chance in the first tribulation to make that decision that Jesus made. I have talked to Jesus to ask for his strength and help to keep me in my faith at all cost when that time comes soon.

I keep telling myself that I'm lucky to have experienced life as I have to learn so much about the wrong way so I would know the right way. I've had an unusual life...My kids are grown...Come on (S)satan bring it on...with Jesus by my side you will never break me...Jesus is my savior and God is my only God!

Sorry...I got carried away.

BTW...Religious poetry is one of the many, many things we have at whitestones.us

I would list everything but there's not that much room on the internet...lol (how's that for self promotion?)

PS...I have requested that Christy "invite" you to PIM.

In English that's:

I begged Great Honey Bear to ask you to be a member of "Poetry In Motion" and vouched for you and promised her 4 of my 8 children and a Popsicle!

"4 of your 8 children and a popsicle" But in all sincerity THANK YOU SO MUCH, and what you said truly humbles me and in case I forgot: "Do you know how very special you are to me"? Well more precious than words can express*** I also have often thought of and pray much for that strength when that time comes and yes as you have stated "It Will", when we will face unspeakable pain when they start persecuting those of us who will not deny Jesus Christ as our Personal and One And Only Lord and Saviour. I will NEVER deny Him either. Also yes Jesus never "Performed tricks" to prove himself especially to Herod and such to prove himself and when Pilot begged him to speak, he stood silent because he needed merely to utter a word and countless angels would have just laid them all to waste and he already knew and accepted to die for us! As far as "self promotion" Promote on my friend, promote on; For it is afterall ~The Word Of God and Sharing It~ that you are truly promoting and that is the most precious gift in the world. Abundant Blessing, Lyn

Thank you!

First I must say that by you picking above a "Butterfly" is mind blowing. I will explain in pm. Second it's my pleasure and I am astounded that this has not gotten a flurry of comments, for it is conversation worth discussing. I pray you don't mind if I end up commenting with "Scripture" to fit? I went on whitestones and did a interest ect. but could not find the groups when you have the time would you pm and clue my frying brain in No not like the commercial ~That just hit me~ It's fever* God bless and will talk soon Lyn

The commercial immediately comes to mind...It must have been a powerful message to be remembered so readily...I would not have made any connection. With my nature I might have joked toward that direction but you have defused that!

I think most people shy off from religious implications but I welcome comments of any kind because i have come to realize we can't separate ourselves from reality. Religion has so many different meanings to people but to me it is a statement of what life is and how we live not just an affiliation to a ritual.

"Scripture" to fit would make my hair stand up in a Mohawk hairdo and make my bones tingle with a silly excitement!

I will get to that in the 26th hour Yup 8am and havn't slept a wink* OWWWCH But "I'll be back"
