Contemplating to share devotion on how God will provide..................

You mentioned that the world was ruled by Jacob through Joseph. But then, any scriptural evidence that Jacob was actually ruling. I mean Jacob only managed to reunite with Joseph towards the end of his life. So how was the world being ruled by Jacob.

Jacob = Israel.
And your point being?

Come on.

Where in that passage is there any indication that Jacob = Mahathir. You are only interpreting from PehKey point of view. Is that what the bible says?

Where in the passage did Jacob advise Joseph pertaining to how should Joseph rule? Jacob only reunited with Joseph during the famine

Where in the bibble passage did it mention that Joseph is actually reigning? I believe at that time if the Pharoah wanted, he could take back all of the power given to Joseph.

Show me.

Dun just make assertions. Because anyone can make assertions.

paradigm issue.

btw: about bible accuracy... do you know that we, as Christian, bible accuracy knowledge is irrelevant ?

I mean, if Jesus say the way to interpret is ABCD... then ABCD is the right paradigm... then ABCD lah regardless of accurate or not.

Ah yah bro, it is revelant

Of course, rhema is more important than the black and white, yet, at least the base is very important.

The Lord did quote from the Septuagint which is also a translation .... [though I heard a history that when the king ordered the 7? scribes to translate in separate rooms .... the result was the same ... now that's a miracle ]

We trust that Lord is sovereign in preserving the Bible as what we have it today.

If you are still around here .... go and enjoy the Lord with the saints at the group meeting .....
shoo shoo shoooo XD

Wow! Thank you for the swift and lengthy reply. But i still don't understand after reading over a few times.   
Some of the words make me more confused.   
Maybe i will just summon ThePope 

Well, Christianity is hard business.

Remember.

You are supposed to lose your life for it.

How ah? Migrate there? ...

I pray whenever I can, but I don't know if I'm praying hard enough.

Oi Oi don't say me la. I never say this is about me. Wah more like you butthurt suddenly so strong reaction. I can see your overdefensiveness.

I notice some close friends who date christian girls memang very stringent. And these close friends are christian guys.

Where got guys push hard for it, i see some of the christian guys try to accomodate everything for the christian girls. Then suddenly 6 months later she broke the poor guy heart by leaving him for a non-christian who recently converted. The guy is a nice teacher christian guy. Yes he is a bit nerdy and not adventurous but when it comes to christian requirements, he fullfil it all.

Then I also notice some christian girls at office reach over 30-40 years old, still like so high standard. Got one who work in a bank, when she was in her 20s, she rejected all the christian guys because not fullfil her requirements. Now she is 36, still acting like she is miss universe, got one christian guy in his 40s approach her also kena rejected. This is what i observe at the church. Really so careful and high requirement, mind as well become celebate better.

I pray whenever I can, but I don't know if I'm praying hard enough.

I guess spiritual Christian need security in the sense that their spouse fear the God and always will put God in the first priority even over them. so when their spouse or partner is not Christian which also mean they are not fear and show reverence to God, how can they feel secure?

just my very fundamental understanding

Yeah i guess i be running without a running partner, too much hassle, haha.

Lighter to run alone.
