Title: Teach me to fish......... Post by raydawg on 03/08/18 at 07:59:50 Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. - William A. Ward |

Title: Re: Teach me to fish......... Post by raydawg on 03/08/18 at 08:31:00 Thanks, I like it, but how do you think it can be justified? Make America great again? :-[ I think I understand what you mean by soul of man, and I think simply the golden rule should govern all mankind, but it never has, has it? Our we at fault thinking we need to bring its idea into fruition? Or, are we failing because we think we can? |

Post by Matchless G11 on 03/08/18 at 08:50:15 The same guy has said this. “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.” G K Chesterton. So don't put your faith in minor kings and rulers, whether they are Obama or Trump.. They pass .. But the words of the true King go on forever.. |

Ok, thanks....... I want to ask you a question, it has puzzled me for many years, and I am a believer, that Jesus Christ is, as who he says he is...... When I read the bible, and I try and wrap an understanding around its message, I'm handicapped, in a sense, that my mind is so sinful of the flesh. Indeed, the deeper my study, the more I surrender, the greater my understanding, the realizing of it's TRUTH :D And now, I am to put that understanding into actions, as a witness, yes? My question, "Why isn't it a fact that we shouldn't be able to build enough churches, fast enough, for all who want what we exhibit, if our witness is true?" Do you understand my question? In a sense I think it bears testimony that we believers, are putting to much faith into the moment, as well...... :-[ |

God sent Christ to the world because we are incapable of rising above hate, intolerance, greed...... he did however provide a way to live within it. 1. All life is sacred BECAUSE it is created by God. 2. We are to Love all humans no matter who they are or what they believe because God first loved us despite our depravity and hate for him. 3. We always forgive because he first forgave us. That is our example to strive for everyday despite the fact that everyday we fail. |

We can't build stronger churches in this day and age because of the world being so dark and sinful. The ground is not fertile and there are too many tares for the wheat to thrive. The word of God tells us that people are going to be evil in these end times, and that is exactly what we are seeing. |

Title: Re: Teach me to fish......... Post by raydawg on 03/11/18 at 14:26:59 Thanks buddy.... cancers all gone, now it’s just reconstructive surgery to put my face back the way it was, haha. The last spot was on the inside edge of my eye, between it and the nose. Thankfully it ran away from the eye, so it’s all good in that front, however, the meat removed was pretty decent, they all say huge, I never looked, I am sure I would have freaked [ch128553] So you just can’t stitch that up without causing eyelid problems, etc, so they took a slab of my forehead, cut it out, but with some meat still attached to provide blood to the flesh to keep it viable.... Then she covered my hole in my face with that chunch of USDA Prime [ch129300] Until the cavity/hole grows it’s own natural flesh... That is where I am now. The slab of meat was twisted, as she pulled it down offmy forehead, to keep the blood vessels from kinking... It made a big knot that looks like I am a rhinoceros [ch129423] So, you sorry you posted ;D |
