But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'"

Do we have enough about us to see beyond someone's denial of Christ, to tell them they will see him, just like he told them ?.

This tells me that those on this board and elsewhere who teach contrary to the doctrine I have learned are not of Jesus Christ.
Jesus wept, so do I.

Default my favorite

I guess my favorite is still Galatians 5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

But I'm recently really drawn to Titus 2:14, speaking of Jesus "who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."

WELL, that was the beginning of quite the journey for me because after that I lost interest in my daily life and began to wonder who I really was. In reading (started with Genesis), I remember my mom telling me about Solomon and wisdom and I remember her telling me that when in the womb she had prayed and asked God to grant her child wisdom and that was the beginning of my interest in him. The passage that drew me in was, "The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!â€
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.â€
3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever."- Ecclesiastes 1: 6
The Bible is instruction to those who have ears.

Well first of all it shows me that God loves me enough to have spelled out what to watch for from the enemy (satan) and to avoid. Second one who see's the tree falling and does not warn the man under it, hate's him. I love everyone enough to share what God has given us in love. So it is loving my neighbor of course!

I hope you realize it also applies to the non-fundamentalists as well.

Think about that for a moment. It shows you one thing. It will show a non-fundamentalist that they are on the right track in disregarding the dissension caused by the..... wait for it... fundamentalists.

Are you a fundamentalist? What's the point? We are discussing God's word here.
