Love and jealousy go hand in hand say many people. And the holy scriptures say that God is a Jealous God - it is said in one of the ten commandments. Is it true that deep real love leads to jealousy?
Some say that one cannot know what it real without making mistakes and doing what's wrong. I think that maybe that was Satan's point in the story of Eden and the fall. Was Satan right? Is reality only made real by knowing both good and evil?
If wishes were fishes and other impossibilities.
Sometimes people desire to be or have what they know they cannot be or have yet the longing for what is impossible can be very strong, strong enough to shape one's future as well as one's present and past. I wonder if such longings can lead to...
Sad happy films are good watching.
I watched one tonight. It's old. I watched it before. It is called Bicentennial Man. It is based on an Isaac Asimov story.
Lowliness is assured by majesty, weakness by power, mortality by eternity. To pay the debt of our sinful state, a nature that was incapable of suffering was joined to one that could suffer. Thus, in keeping with the healing that we needed, one and the same mediator between God and men, the man...
The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her,
‘Rejoice, full of grace! The Lord is with you.’
She was deeply disturbed by these words and...
I have two smart phones, one is an HTC One Max but its back cover keeps popping off because I bent the phone a little and unbending it is not working.
I also have a Leagoo M8 which is a very inexpensive phone made in China. It looks like this
Bulls’ blood and goats’ blood are useless for taking away sins, and this is what Christ said, on coming into the world:
You who wanted no sacrifice or oblation,
prepared a body for me.
You took no pleasure in holocausts* or sacrifices for sin;
then I said,
just as I was commanded in the scroll...
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,
but an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim.
Instead, here am I.
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
In the scroll of the book it stands written
that I should do your will.
My God, I...
The Lord spoke to Ahaz and said, ‘Ask the Lord your God for a sign for yourself coming either from the depths of Sheol or from the heights above.’ ‘No,’ Ahaz answered ‘I will not put the Lord to the test.’
Then he said:
Listen now, House of David:
are you not satisfied with trying the patience...
The holy scriptures teach the faithful how to live and what is true as well as warning about what is false and harmful. They teach the same lesson set forth in the garden of Eden in the form of two trees. The first is the tree of Life and it was set in the centre of the garden. The other was...
The song says "nobody likes me, everybody hates me - I think I'll go eat worms". For the truly cool :cool-relaxed: in Christianity Haven being liked is not easy. Everybody hates the good and cool who reside in this forum, right?
So my compatriots, resist being cool :cool-relaxed: and be a nerd...
The holy scriptures remind us that God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. But being humble is not easy when you're so cool! :cool-relaxed:
Is being humble hard for you too?
I'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me! All my devices with microphones can eavesdrop on me. All of yours can eavesdrop on you. We are living in a surveillance state! So when you feel like somebody is listening you're probably right. The NSA, CIA, ASIS, ASIO, MI5, MI6 and all the...
The first three Commandments treat our relationship to God. The last seven concern our relationship with each other. The First Commandment calls us to have faith in the true God, to hope in him, and to love him fully with mind, heart, and will. We respond to God, who has created and redeemed us...
