Milesoftheusa,

I'll tell you how you can know if you are choosen. Jesus gave a simple
proof so that you would know.

Matthew 10:22
------------------------------------------------------------
You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has
endured to the end who will be saved.
------------------------------------------------------------

If you are hated, because you worship Jesus, you will be saved and thus,
you are choosen.

Chosen or not to be chosen: Hmmmmmmm, well, if I am not chosen (and I
have no reason to believe that I am any better than anyone else)then I
guess people in hell are really gonna like me, huh?lol

apparently to me it is the sheep who hear his voice who are the
chosen. They have been chosen because they have chose to do the will of
Yahweh.

spider in the verse you quoted is very true they will be hated for his
names sake. Yet many have been hated. i do not think all who are hated
for his name are his chosen. the tares and the wheat shows they grow up
together. Satan will come as an angel of light to whom all (almost all)
will love. It is also stated thier are wolves in sheeps clothing.
keeping this in mind Yahweh surely tells us how to be his chosen. He
says study to show yourself approved. and Also to search for him it is
worth more than much gold. how much is a persons life worth? he says it
is a treasure in which we seek after. so we must be looking for Yahweh's
words that tell us plainly and with a pure and contrite heart take hold
of it with our very lives. Seeing that this life is nothing as Yahshua
showed us as Abraham showed us. do we need to come to a real conclusion
that we are nothing but his ambassadors who truely believe if we die at
any moment that it is okay. because we know for sure yahweh is in
control and we will be raised up from the dead. This is a very hard
question for me to know as i have not faced it. I have been tried and
made it through the trial. And it did strength my faith. Like Yahshua
said in the sermon on the mount...

Matt 5:11-12
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall
say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
KJV
faith is built like a house when a storm comes is your house built on
sand or on a solid Rock?.. Shalom ... Miles

Thank you for the post Miles.

I got something from it.

but as far as the sand and the rock.

The best way to ride out a storm is on a well made ship at sea.

So I place my faith in the Ark in these times.

Yes AB though when a storm comes those ships are brought to land and
tied up for a reason.. Blessings AB.... Shalom Miles

Have you ever served on a ship near a hurricane?

They don't come in. Its called riding the storm out.

ships tied up to the docks end up on land.

You either anchor in deep water with a sufficient roade to ride the
storm or you steam ahead enough to counter the storm and quarter it with
a sea anchor out.

When Yahshua said those words he was not talking about the titanic but
an everyday house made for a family. Yahshua spoke to his 12 and
explained parables to them. The sand and the rock or solid ground. I am
just refering to how stable and strong is your faith.. Shalom... Miles
