I usually stay out of this thread in respect. To give you some place to call your own. However there has been bad behavior as of late. Many untrue statements hurled at people of the "opposition". If this is going to fall into that type of community I do not think I will be out of this thread for long. Please stick to truth. |

Rabbit, (I rather wish I knew your real name here), I have been expecting you. I do believe your first statement. Sometimes, the least said, soonest mended. |

Matthew 23 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV) Matthew 23 1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. ------ 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. ------ 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. |

He who knows Love By Elsa Barker HE who knows Love—becomes Love, and his eyes Behold Love in the heart of everyone, Even the loveless: as the light of the sun Is one with all it touches. He is wise With undivided wisdom, for he lies In Wisdom’s arms. His wanderings are done, For he has found the Source whence all things run— The guerdon of the quest, that satisfies. He who knows Love becomes Love, and he knows All beings are himself, twin-born of Love. Melted in Love’s own fire, his spirit flows Into all earthly forms, below, above; He is the breath and glamour of the rose, He is the benediction of the dove. |

Good morning dear Britty
It is most difficult to express what enraptures our hearts in awe of the splendor of God's goodness and love when thieves would try to steal our joy in the Lord and distract us from the attentions of our hearts and our love and our rejoicing. But hellish insults and threatenings shall never prevail to do that. It is only the few that would make the many appear so. May the Lord be with you all and all that you do be well with your soul |

Ephesians 2:12 (King James Version) King James Version (KJV) 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: |

Luke 9: 59-62.
And he said to another, "Follow me." But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, "Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee ; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." John 3 : 5-8. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; andthat which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I have said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every one that is born of the Spirit." |
