I love this verse.
( For first timers here, or Catholics....that's a joke ...I was one... 'forsake' means abandon, forget, leave behind....)

What does it mean to you...because what it means to me is pretty much (LOL) everything.

I mean to tell ya..it means...'God, Lord, I need some help with
wanting to strangle my neighbor...could you help me out with this?"
or
"I would really like to feel your Divine Love ...could You please pour some into my heart?"

I have noticed that the version of 'never', esp in Greek , means never.


Um, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of wiggle room here!

Reading Deuteronomy 31, it appears to mean that "The Lord" will help the Israelites conquer the Canaanites, unless of course they go up against chariots of iron which are a bit much even for Him.

I rewrote that verse Miss H much to the annoyance of bible fundamentalists and knowing it would cause further rejection of myself by those from my own household, to read "i have never left you nor will i ever forsake you"

Here's what that passage in referring to:

Joshua 1

5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

For people who have been born anew in the spirit of Christ , and Jesus Spirit come on the believer , and is there night and day through out their lives and will never forsake them because of sin or even mental disruption , and these will endure to the end of their lives and then in the after life .............. But Jesus will leave if faith is rejected and people forsake Jesus spirit and blaspheme His spirit , and fall back into the world of the kingdom of darkness , but they could go back to Jesus before they pass on and Jesus will accept them again

Au contraire, He gave us the room.

Um, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of wiggle room here!
the standard model has a mechanism for a meaning.

This volume of The universe knows, at least, the sum total of human and all other storage and processor volumes. The volume is growing at some speed if light is truly the waves speed limit and we are the only spot 'alive". I doubt it, but we must start at the smallest volume we are sure of.

the universe can't "abandon" you nor can it leave "itself" behind.

Thats just sillyness.
