I Could say something, I thng this time I let the Holy Spirit show us
Please Examine the heart above all!
Phil 2:3-5 Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself; Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
Phil 1:15-17 Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart: These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news: But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
2 Cor 1:12 For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
Titus 1:9-10 Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters. For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,
Phil 1:16-17 These do it from love, conscious that I am responsible for the cause of the good news: But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.
2 Cor 12:20 For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;
Prov 30:11-14 There is a generation who put a curse on their father, and do not give a blessing to their mother. There is a generation who seem to themselves to be free from sin, but are not washed from their unclean ways. There is a generation, O how full of pride are their eyes! O how their brows are lifted up! There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, their strong teeth like knives, for the destruction of the poor from the earth, and of those who are in need from among men.
Prov 11:24-26 A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need. He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed. He who keeps back grain will be cursed by the people; but a blessing will be on the head of him who lets them have it for a price.
1 Cor 11:27-34 If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord. But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself. For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body. For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead. But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us. But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged. So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another. If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
Malachi 3: 16 - 18 Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name. And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant. Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.
1 Tim 3:1-7 This is a true saying, A man desiring the position of a Bishop has a desire for a good work. The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher; Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money; Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour; (For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?) Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One. And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.
I already said what I needed to say about your other thread, it applies to this one also.
I have been watching the influx of rigid fundies with dismay and weariness, Ilene . . . but you remain a beacon of hope for me and others I'm sure. Just had to say that . . . in Christ's love,

Thanks Mystic! It's weird, I see myself in these rigid fundies because I was one for so stinking long.....praise God and I understand the weariness, I've noticed the switch too. It's interesting and <yawn> beeeeen there done that at the same time. Think I'll check to see what movie is on, or go to bed. Or both.

People have deep felling and fellowship for one another, the wave of distraction bring people together.
We are no longer along, but bring us closer, but some if we do not understand, we fall away from each other.
The Bible, it is a earthly story, but with a spiritual meaning.
The Bible is not just story, but to tell us why things are happening to our family, friends
and love ones. That God too have feeling.
Each verse in a sequence other verses, is spiritual in how my spirit reveled to me.
To you it can be distorting, because you and I feel the words because come out into our hearts, like 3D.
we read in Ex 23:20-23 "Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.
But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
For My Angel will go before you and bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
In our time we have Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
When you find out, what kind of people they are, you will see them in our society.
This is Spiritual!
If I give a some quotes it is a earthly story, but with a spiritual meaning, a message for us!
What is happening and why, well happen.
Christ is sending His Spirit to us.
Only believers who love to stay clean of demons and sin for their calling will have interest in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus ...... For I takes a pruning of sin by the Lord for believers to Honor the Lord and his Word that He said .... For Jesus said In Matthew 5:6 ....`` Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they will be filled ``.... and then in, verse: 10.... Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven``....
