QUOTE(Deadlocks @ Apr 12 2014, 10:28 PM) Thank you for your reply by the way. Jesus called Satan as the Father of lies. (John 8:44)Lol, it's not really a fascination, but how I somehow managed to understand the enemy as it is. There are many writings about the devil, and they all appear to show the reason behind the devil's acts upon us, and that is, to convince God that we not worth saving (although Jesus has already did it), and that we do not deserve God's love, for we are so easy and prone to sin. I can even roleplay as the counter, that is, the response being a faithful Christian, but I rather leave that to you guys to decide how it is. To all readers: Please note that this is merely a dramatic role-play of a dialogue between Unknown warrior and the devil. Anyways, here's what the devil would have replied to your post: the devil: Hahahahaha! Sigh, tsk tsk tsk. Unknown Warrior. Do you really think you have the right to talk like that? Don't you know I am the one who tempted you to sin everytime, and oh, I KNOW YOUR SINS ALRIGHT. I know. I have doing this for CENTURIES! Want me to reveal them here? Let's see how about when <insert one of your recent moments when you think you have sinned>, and <insert one of your oldest sins which you have wished you have never done in the first place> Remember them now? You pathetic mortal. Calling me proud? Please. Don't put me with the likes of you, mortal. And don't give me that humility crap. I WILL send my agents to tempt you to commit one of the 7 sins. Yeap, you guessed it. PRIDE. I am going to make you swell so much in pride, and to make you able to sin some more, without you even knowing about it. And when you SINNED again, I would have WON AGAIN. And I will keep doing it until all your knowledge about God will be useless and hypocritical. And....I recognize this form of deception, it's call the ministry of condemnation. (2 Corinthians 3:9) So this tactic of condemnation only works against Christians who don't know they are no longer under the bondage of the Laws of God. But for Believers who recognize that they are under the covenant of Grace, Satan has no power. (Romans 6:14) Because Salvation, Righteousness and redemption is a free gift from God. (Romans 3:22-24) My righteousness is given to me as a gift, it is not something that I do. (Romans 11:6) Even by what I do, cannot reverse God's gift to me (Romans 11:29 - for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.) And believers today NEED to know that Satan has been defeated at the cross and disarmed of all his powers. (Colossians 2:15) That is why, he needs to resort to lie and deception. And God has given us a provision in his word, to protect us; Romans 5:20 - The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, + God is the one who justify and is on our side, Satan has no say. Romans 8:33 - 33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; Romans:8:31 . 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?… Check Mate. |

QUOTE(Terence573 @ Apr 13 2014, 08:01 PM) Hi bro and sis. Well, it's a bit touchy and sensitive but one thing, brother.I'm facing dilemma of religion difference. My girl friend.Who is devoted Catholic. But I'm Anglican. No problem so far within our relationship. but when discuss about religion.... she very devoted into holding into her beliefs. I just worried bout the marriage afterwards.... which church to go to.....etc. How to settle our differences? lol.... pls share experience. One thing. Prayer + Jesus Christ. nothing but Jesus Christ. Lift Him up in all matters pertaining to Christianity. And some words for you brother. Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 1 Timothy 1:4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work--which is by faith. 1 Timothy 4:7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. 2 Timothy 2:14 Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarrelling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 2 Timothy 2:16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 2 Timothy 2:23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. James 4:1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? This post has been edited by unknown warrior: Apr 16 2014, 01:02 AM |

QUOTE(Brusky @ Apr 14 2014, 08:38 PM) Got it from internet although is in TLDR category but will worth your time. Praise God for you. Keep on pressing forward.Are You Connecting to God's Power? Nearly 2,000 years ago the apostle Paul gave an interesting directive to Christians living in the Mediterranean port city of Thessalonica: "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). What did Paul mean by that? Prayer is the mark of a Christian! It's important for the Christian to be ready to talk to, think about, be prepared to call out to God. A Christian is one who is always ready to pray and who is in the spirit of prayer continually. So why pray at all? In the famous scripture about faith, we are told that we "must believe that he [God] exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Hebrews 11:6, New International Version, emphasis added). Do you believe that? In writing to the ancient Thessalonians, Paul is also today encouraging us to be always ready and develop a regular habit of thanking, praising, consulting and seeking God. Prayer represents a spiritual lifeline, a way to tap the very power of God in our lives. So how do we do we get into a state where we can "pray without ceasing"? Allow me to share a few personal experiences. My day in prayerful contact with God may go like this: 1. Wake up. In my thoughts thank God for a new day, another opportunity to practice His ways and impact others positively. 2. Make time to kneel and thank God for what He has blessed me with, ask for guidance for the day, ask for the knowledge of His will (Romans 12:1-2) and humbly praise Him for answering prayer and for being with me, as well as pray for people with needs, hurts, sicknesses and trauma. 3. When I sit down to eat, offer simple thanks to God. Thank God for food, sustenance and all good things. Recognize that there are many people not so fortunate who have to spend a greater part of their life to secure and provide food just barely to stay alive. 4. As I leave for work, be spiritually mindful in my thoughts and ask for protection, direction, and favor (Psalm 90:17). 5. When the time comes to make decisions, stop and ask God for guidance to make the right one, to do the next right thing. 6. When seeing things go right in the day, thank and praise God for the successes. 7. When seeing things go wrong, ask God for intervention, support, understanding, patience, and wisdom. Ask to be shown what lessons should be learned (James 1:2-5). 8. Pray with fellow workers and ask for God's guidance and presence when beginning a meeting that will impact what the Church does and the people involved. 9. Midday, thank God for the food that He again provides. 10. During the day if the going gets tough, ask God for relief and endurance. 11. At the end of a day, thank God for all the ways He has been with me and what He has blessed me with. Ask Him to teach me and help me learn spiritual lessons, even if they're learned through adversity. 12. Thank God for my evening meal and those whom I may be sharing it with. 13. As I may read or study the Bible, ask Him to illuminate and spiritually ignite the words in my mind. 14. Before falling asleep, briefly review the day with God and humbly praise Him for being with me and guiding my paths. As you can see, hardly a few hours go in my day without at least a simple and short prayer. This conscious, constant contact with God is prayer without ceasing. Of course, some prayers are very short, others are longer and more narrative. I cannot live without prayer. I need help, and the best support I have is being spiritually in a place where God is right by my side through the day (Micah 6:8). I'm not clever enough to do all that I have to by relying solely on my human abilities. I believe that my life is not mine, but part of a destiny that God is in total control of. So I want and need constant contact with God! Direct, simple, humble and sincere prayer without ceasing is how I tap the power of God. |

Thanks for the somg UW
I got another question to ponder. It's about people raised to become criminals/killers. It is written that all men have a conscience. In this case, their conscience is erased very early on. If they are rescued at some point that's good. But that's often not the case. I'm aware of the passages, all men will be judged by their own standard and fail. It's quite a tragedy to never hear the truth and never see the light. Yes, it means the Gospel must be spread ASAP and things like that, but it took 1500+ years to reach this side of the world and still not everyone has heard yet. |

And Yet the Bible recorded, he literally breath out murderous threats against the disciples of Christ. He approved with gratification the killing of Stephen (One of Jesus disciple). He wanted to either lock up or kill Jesus's disciple. He asked for approval from the Chief Priest in writing. Can you imagine this guy is suppose to be a "Christian" of that day and You can say He was a murderer. And Yet He had a conviction he couldn't escape when God intervene into his life. No matter how bad a person is, there is always hope in God. It's proven when Jesus turned Saul's life 180 degrees to the truth. All we need is prayer and prayer is very very powerful to change even a murderer simply because our God is all powerful. |

Before the fall, no sin barrier existed between God and man. This was the so-called dispensation of innocence, when man was ruled directly by God. He lived before God and was responsible to God. Unfortunately, man failed under God’s rule and became sinful within and without; so the holy and righteous God had to leave man. Consequently, from the time of Adam’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden to the time of Noah’s departure from the Ark, God established the conscience within man to represent Himself in ruling over man. This is the so-called dispensation of conscience. In this period man was ruled by his own conscience and was responsible to his own conscience. Unfortunately, under this self-rule, man again failed. He ignored the rebuke and control of the conscience, the issue of which was murder and fornication, which proceeded unto utter corruption and fullness of wickedness. God judged this dispensation by the flood. After the flood, God told Noah, "Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed" (Gen. 9:6). Because man was neither subject to God’s rule nor obedient to self-rule, God authorized man to represent Himself in ruling over man. Therefore, not long afterwards there was the beginning of nations; there came into being among the human races the rule of political authorities, the power of the society, and the control in the family. For example, in a nation there are the president and the officials; in a factory, the supervisors; and in a family, the parents and elder brothers, etc. These are the authorities set up by God to represent Himself in ruling man. This is why Romans 13:1 says, “Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers.” This is the dispensation of human government, in which man is ruled by man and is responsible to man. From the point of view of government, man’s fall was a fall from God’s rule to self-rule, and then from self-rule to man’s rule. The more one is ruled by God, the nobler he becomes, but the more one is ruled by man, the more base he becomes. Today, man’s condition is a complete rejection of God’s rule. There are possible minorities who are under self-rule, being controlled by their conscience; however, the impact of their conscience is very weak. The majority are living under human rule and never conform unless they are being ruled by someone. Yet many still fail in this dispensation of human government. They not only disobey, but also endeavor to escape and even overthrow man’s rule. Today what is set before our eyes is a rebellious and disorderly condition. Thus, man is a total failure whether under the ruling of God, self, or man. Since man has been degraded from God’s rule to human rule, God, in saving man, must recover him from human rule to divine rule, that man may once more live before God in simplicity and under His direct authority. However, this kind of recovery cannot be realized in a moment of time. As man became degraded by falling from divine rule to human rule, passing through the stage of self-rule in between, so in God’s plan of recovery he must retrace his steps from human rule to God’s rule, passing through self-rule in between. Since self-rule is the step between human rule and God’s rule, when a man is saved, he must first be delivered from human rule and return to self-rule. All those who live under human rule are living before man. They dare not do many things because of the fear of man. Whenever they are not under man’s jurisdiction and observation, they do as they please. However, those who are under self-rule are not so. They live by the feelings of their own conscience. Being controlled by their conscience, they do not need to be ruled by others. They are restrained in all their utterances and behavior, not because of their fear of man, but because of the ruling of their conscience. They are free to act only when their conscience approves. Outwardly, they appear to be still subject to the rule of man, yet practically, this rule is unnecessary, because their conscience is sufficient to rule and control them. Sadly, the condition of many Christians today is not so. Their behavior still requires the rule of man. Students must be controlled by their teachers, children by their parents, and business personnel by their supervisors. Often they care only for those who are around them outwardly, but care not for the conscience within. This proves to a great degree that they are still living in the fallen condition of being ruled by man. Therefore, only severe dealings with our conscience will deliver us from the fallen condition of human rule to that rule by the conscience. Then in all things we can live and act according to the feelings of our conscience. However, the final goal of dealing with the conscience is not simply to restore us to self-rule. If we remain only in the feelings of conscience, we are still in a half-fallen situation and fall short of God’s will. Therefore, dealing with the conscience is not just to cause man to return from human rule to self-rule, from the eye of man unto the conscience, but even more to cause man to pass through self-rule and attain to God’s rule, to pass through the conscience and live in the presence of God. To deal with the conscience so that we are brought back to the conscience is still a negative objective; the positive objective is that we be recovered to God Himself. Therefore, the final goal of dealing with the conscience is to bring us back to God’s rule. |

For sharing
--------------------------------------------------------------- Blood moon was a sign from GOD and now a 'HUGE EVENT' will strike mankind, warns church THE total lunar eclipse that turned the moon a dark blood red yesterday was a 'sign' from God and fulfilled an ancient prophecy foretold in the BIBLE, a church has claimed. ![]() Much of the western hemisphere witnessed the eerie sight in the sky yesterday and Nasa has confirmed that a highly unusual 'Tetrad' - four successive 'blood-red' lunar eclipses each followed by six full moons - has now begun and will end on September 28 2015. Pastor John Hagee, whose book Four Blood Moons sparked worldwide interest in the phenomenon earlier this year, said it was now too late for mankind to prevent a 'huge' event that would change humanity forever. The alignment has only happened a handful of times in the last two thousand years and Hagee, who leads the popular Cornerstone Church in the United States, said he is now convinced the events of yesterday morning were predicted in ancient scripture. ![]() Chapter Two of the Book of Joel predicts that the "sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood" before the second coming of Jesus Christ. And Pastor Hagee said: "God is sending us a signal. Something huge is about to happen. Something is going to change, forever. "The Biblical basis for this Tetrad is clear. "It's not just a single story. It's in Genesis and repeated in Joel and again in Joshua and again in Luke and then, finally, in Revelation. "It begins in Genesis 1:14 when the Bible says 'Let there be light in the heavens and let them be for signals'. "The word 'signal' means that God is sending us a message. "The Bible provides a very firm basis for this. Right throughout the Holy Book it is made very clear that God does actively control the sun, the moon and the stars in order to speak to us. "I believe these four blood moons are sending a very clear message to every single person on earth that something is about to happen that will change the course of history. ![]() He added: "Jesus talks very clearly in Luke 24 about signs in the sky that will mark the coming of the Son of Man. "You put all those Biblical stories together and it very clearly says this, that the God who created the sun, the moon and the stars controls them exactly to the split second. He's done it to send us a signal. The question is, what's the signal?" Unusually, in this Tetrad, all four blood moons coincide with major dates in the Jewish calendar. Yesterday's came during Passover, the second will be on October 8, at the time of the Feast of the Tabernacles. And, eerily, the pattern is exactly repeated next year. On April 4 2015 a total lunar eclipse will occur during Passover, followed by the final dawn of the last blood moon next September, again during the Feast of the Tabernacles. Pastor Hagee said: "This has only happened three times in more than 500 years - in 1492, 1948 and 1967. On each occasion it's coincided with something very dramatic that's involved the Jewish people Hagee added: "When I first saw the three dates of the previous Tedrads, I nearly jumped out of my chair. "Only God can align the sun, moon and earth in such a perfect way that a blood moon can occur. "And then, He chooses to do it on Passover, the Feast of the Tabernacles, Passover and the Feast of the Tabernacles? It is absolutely an impossibility that it could be random chance." He went on: "The theme is constant, one of tragedy always followed by triumph for the Jewish people. "In 1492 the Jews were expelled from Spain but that was almost immediately followed by the discovery of America, a land that would become a beacon of hope for the Jewish people. "In 1948 there was seven years of the living hell of the Holocaust, followed by the establishment of the state of Israel. "In 1967 there was the Six Day War and then there was the reunification of the city of Jerusalem, the eternal capital the Jewish people." ![]() The pastor, whose claims have sparked fierce debate, refused to be drawn on exactly what he thought would happen next. He added that 'all the chess pieces were already in place'. He also appeared to hint at the significance of recent unrest in Ukraine and the resurgence of Russia as a global military power. Other religious commentators are less convinced of the significance of the blood moon phenomenon. Pastor Greg Boyd, from St Paul, Minnesota, claimed the debate was a 'waste of time'. He said: "You have an entire population buying into this stuff so no congregation is immune. "It can strike fear into people, which is unnecessary and wrong." Sam Storms, a pastor from Oklahoma, added: "We need to stop giving into some of these sensationalist speculations. "Maybe Christians are more gullible. One has to twist the data to make it appear as if these are the fulfillment of some biblical prophecy." |
