not really. But I can recall...those age..sure we get angry but I don't think we hold grudges...too young to understand...De_luffy is in a way right...it's the innocence to which God said something ....those with a pure heart will see God.

That is why He defaulted Heaven will welcome children without any conditions. They get to enter in by full grace just because they are children.

So as adult, we are to consider little children traits as what I've said on children depending on their parents as how we depend on God.

Hi Everyone.

Post your Church Christmas Activity if there's any?

The methodist church is hosting a Christmas dinner for the homeless.

Nothing much from my side Christmas night that's all

Actually one thing still affect my faith is there is no record on the exact date or time when Jesus was born and dead (before He rose again)
I wonder why even Bible didn’t mentioned such as important dates like this?
We dont even know if it happens in the morning, afternoon or even at night

How do you deal with the reality that life is a tragedy?

I trust in the divinity of the compilation of the Bible, if it's something that God deemed as not important, it should not be.

May I ask why is it important to you?


As to how the Bible tells us. We are living in a fallen world. Everything in this world has fallen. We have to accept that fact.

And yet God gives us Salvation in this fallen state world. What this means is that you can claim redemption from fallen state.

What the blood of Christ covers, is redeemed back to God, hence you can pray for a better situation. You really can, it's something I've personally experience and have seen others experience.

Redemption from the curse of this world...the tragedy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Jesus

Interestingly....the evidence of the person of Christ recorded by Roman senator and historian Tacitus. They wrote of the crucifixion of Christ (Jesus)

If you click on this link

the above is the Annals, a history of the Roman Empire during the first century.

When some people tell Christ is not a real person, they need to educate themselves, especially hostile atheists. They extremely ignorant.

What we have we give

2 Corinthians 8:12 (NIV) - For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.

Morning/Night Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

This verse tells us when we tithe, when we give offering, we should not feel guilty if we aren't able to give. The gifts given are acceptable according to what one has! Not according to what one does not have!

Note on the word "acceptable", it's of key importance. Praise God for his word? Amen?

God Bless people.

It may not be important for you doesn’t mean it may not be important for others
What makes you think that where Jesus is born (which is in Betlehem and recorded in the bible) is more important than when He is born?

Actually I'm not discounting it's not important for others, just believe if it's really something God wants us to know, it would have been recorded.

I guess to confirm as what is foretold hundreds of years before.

I'm very angry and frustrated at myself for not being Christian enough. I can't love and forgive as much as I'm told to.

I guess God won't forgive me either

Have you not heard? The Christian Life is impossible to live out unless you allow the Holy Spirit to work in you.

And that comes by way of constantly being connected to God through unceasing prayer and quiet time.

Spend time with God everyday. Where God is, there is liberty.

At times, I felt God's presence...just one touch...I didn't want to get angry with anybody...just constant peace.....




Ephesians 4:32 (NLT) - Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven* you.

*past tense.

God give us first the grace of forgiveness. You are completely forgiven...so now live the life of a forgiven person.

Earlier...when Christ say if you do not forgive..God will not forgive you (Matthew 6:15)...That was before the cross.

After the cross, Ephesians 4:32 comes into effect. <----take up this position.

Wait really? Man I keep hearing Matthew 6:15 for after the cross.

Check every translation for Ephesians 4.32 and Colossians 3:13

ALL is Past tense.

http://biblehub.com/colossians/3-13.htm

"Forgave" God forgave you...therefore...you also forgive others.

If you think you can't....heed what i said about spending time with God thru prayers and quiet time.

Biographies in the ancient Middle East was pretty different compared to our current standard. I'm not even sure if they have a set year, since instead of going by '500bc', they might go with 'in the 4th reign of so and so king'. The events are more important than the dates to the writers of that time.

It's possible to track the rough estimate by the events though. Look for the time when the census was taken underneath the reign of Herod.

Hi, some people say Jesus's birthday may not be on 25th December.

Is it true?

Hi...morning Nico.

Definitely not on 25th.

This is just a tradition we continue from the Roman when Constantine became the first Christian Roman Emperor.

The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336.
A few years later, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th December.

We are protected

Proverbs 28:10 (NIV) - Whoever leads the upright along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

The Lord spoke to me on this verse. If anyone tries to lead us out of God will (can apply to people trying to cause us to leave our faith), God Himself will ensure this evil person fall by his/her own wicked scheme.

We are protected dear Friends.

God Bless.

Do not fear to be ridiculed by Man. Fear No Man!

2 Timothy 1:8 (NIV) - So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.


One more verse today dear Friends. This is what the Lord has imparted to me, Fear not the sayings of Man. Care NOT of their ridicule! They can do NOTHING!

For me personally, I rather Fear God than to fear Man. In Fact I despise in the concept of fearing Man's saying, whatever their words are.
Keep on testifying about our Lord Jesus Christ, this advent season.

God Bless!
