If he was unable to sin then Hebrews 4:15 is false. a Lie even.

David; sometimes, when I'm typing a very strong (possibly offensive, or inaccurate), usually after 30 minutes of typing and correcting spelling and typing errors, my screen goes blank, all my msg gone! so I then wonder if the Lord was defeating it...

I love that. It's my hope to learn to trust like that.

Char replied to love4theword's discussion 'Prayer requests'

I mean can other people understand you when you talk? Or do you get the thing where you think you're saying "beef sandwich" but other people hear "toilet brush"? If they give you any therapy remember to do it faithfully Jack. This will help you on...

LAST seems to key on the last post and count back, making a full page. NEXT appears to bring up whatever posts are subsequent to the penultimate page (eschew obfuscation!), and may just be a single post.

Char; dis-what? I don't have to wear diapers, if thats whatcha mean! Therapy; Doc says walk 10-15 minutes each day. I'm still taking the rat-poison to keep my blood thinned enough to get thru the narrow places. The completely blocked carotid is in...

Jack, you having problems with dysphasia or weakness? Are you in any sort of therapy right now?

Char replied to love4theword's discussion 'Prayer requests'

Involving others?? So not the MO. Unless it's to inadvertently talk about how unfortunate those who don't get it are. Are we doing that here? Will there be a round of the "thank you Lord that I am not as ungodly as char other people" prayer?

Lov4; Since my stroke, in Sept, I have a significant restriction of blood flow, to the right side of my brain. How much this affects my ability to remember, reason, and reply, I cannot measure, myself. This, in addition to physical limitations. Bu...

Prayer requests

Hey guys. Any prayer requests? On a former board I frequented, they had a 'channel' for prayer requests. Can we do that here? maybe in this thread?

love4theword replied to Damian's discussion 'Question for Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox Christians?'

I'm thoroughly enjoying his 'Jesus of Nazareth' and want to pick up the book he makes much reference of 'a Rabbi talks to Jesus' I've got Credo by him next on my stack.

Not sure a couple of days is necessary. not sure why a warning wasn't given, or why locking this is even necessary. But I'll abide by it for now, and re-close it myself. God's peace on your head.

Rescues

Rescues. Are we rescuing them or are they rescuing us? I think it's them that rescued us.

It's ironic. The last dog we rescued forced a move on us. And now, that beautiful boy is gone.

He was a beautiful dog, very gentle, the sweetest boy. Broke his lead and ran across the road and got hit by a land rover. I was driving home, and saw him next to the road, he was still with us… Continue

My birth and death fear - not being welcome

I was not wanted at birth. My mother was 15 years old when an older married man she was with got her pregnant. I was the result of that union. I was given up for adoption at age 3 and taken in by my mother's Aunt & Uncle.

Later, after my (adopted) dad passed away, it was made known to me that I was adopted so that the 'problem' (me) would be kept in the family. I believe that knowing that I wasn't wanted (and I believe I knew this in the womb) has led me to fear my being 'accepted' in Heave… Continue

Death Reaps the Beauty of the World

That phrase has stuck with me since I first read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever by Stephen Donaldson in 1979. I was 12.

This morning, sometime between 2:00 am and 2:30 am my wife's mother Ruthie May Brunner passed over into eternity. She died.

This morning, sometime between 2:00 am and 2:30 am my black shepherd, Shadow woke Janice up by licking her face (this was a first she usually wakes me up for her midnight treks) and didn't want to go outside. She just drank and drank a… Continue

Did I say that I was making some corrections on my previous post, while you replied to my original post? If so, the topic was "how we get our sin nature."
If thats not the message you mentioned, then I was commenting on a much older (dead) discussion. It couldn't have been world-changing or I'd remember it.
Sorry for causing the confusion. I just remembered that I haven't had my breakfast, yet, today. Must hurry, or I won't have time to do lunch, before suppertime!

At 8:39am on November 24, 2009, joanne guarnieri said…: Is there any hope that the veneration they speak of is not worship, but just giving honor? The language seems way out of line, but since we don't have any more royalty, or even a culture that deals with royalty, is it possible that we can't tell the difference between veneration and worship?

To worship Mary is, of course, totally beyond the bounds of scripture and in danger of the same idolatry that Israel dealt with for millennia. So how could believers be swept up into something so completely NOT Christian? There must be an explanation

At 11:47am on November 23, 2009, Jack said…: Love; I was making a few corrections to my last post, at the same time you were typing your reply. minor, but you might want to re-read it.
I am not arguing with anyone. I'm attempting to fill in some missing details in my understanding. (it is still incomplete) maybe, I've merely stated what is obvious to everyone else!

At 1:29pm on November 4, 2009, Crazyupstart said…: Ha! Don't konw how we weren't 'friends' maybe your namechange did something? At least we were still Brothers ;) I do have several more songs but was too ashamed for the time being to put them up. Like I mentioned, it was way late when I was recording so my pitch was wrather lacking (at least the time of night is my excuse!). I may put a few more up.

Thinking about your comment to my blog, I think I now understand, you dispute the test results. I repect you for that. Hope I wasn't offensive in my reply.

I sent pics to all who responded, see my last post for an explination.

I know you do dog rescue, as do I.

Thanks for being a friend and honest.

I was going to give you a gift but I squandered all my credits on Char and her insatiable appetite for sushi. She's like cat woman, which makes sense of her love for "kittehs" We need to feed her if we want her to stay around. ;)
