This passage is bringing me great comfort this morning as I consider the absolute wreck of a world we find ourselves in. That last line is especially soothing.
This passage is bringing me great comfort this morning as I consider the absolute wreck of a world we find ourselves in. That last line is especially soothing.
I am crying right now listening to Pastor Giglio describe the formation of our EYES - and the Holy Spirit brought to my soul how SAD and HORRIBLY REBELLIOUS our world is to rejoice at KILLING THE MIRACLE OF LIFE IN THE WOMB!! We truly must be at the "end of the age" because I honestly do NOT want to be in this world anymore--we celebrate all of the EVIL and suppress and deny the POWER, MIGHT AND GLORY of our Gracious, Holy Creator God!!
Several years ago I put together and led a women's Bible study on God's character and several of Louie's videos fit nicely with our subject matter. Whenever I hear his voice, it takes me back to our time sharing and rejoicing in our amazing God.
Janice, that is so true! He can deliver a message with such power and we, too, are filled with amazing wonderment each time we listen to these videos of how fearfully and wonderful the human being is created. I’m always amazed at how AMAZING God’s creation is, from a grain of sand to the stars in the universe which Psalm 147:4 says each is numbered and named by their Creator. God never stops amazing us! Then my mind begins humming “How Great Is Our God” and I wonder why I never get anything done😊!
So thankful for your input of scripture into this community! Blessings.
I just listened to that last part of Pastor Giglio's presentation - and when the picture of "laminin" flashed on the screen--my HEART LEAPED FOR JOY - the CROSS - that horrible method of crucifying designed by pagan Romans actually is the SHAPE OF BASIC HUMAN CELLULAR CONSTRUCTION. Our very EXISTENCE is the miracle God wrought by allowing His only begotten Son to hang on a CROSS and shed His blood for the remission of all humanity's rebellion and sinfulness!!
George Beverly Shea would sing this at Billy Graham crusades for decades! We sang it in our EUB church as well when I was a little girl (many moons ago--LOL!)
You are most welcome, LS! A single piano and a single guitar are my fave 'sounds' when it comes to ANY genre of music. I can hear Bev Shea singing this right now!!
No evil people like you are "responsible for the absolute wreck of a world we find ourselves in." He gave humans free will to choose to come to him or to destroy themselves. Everybody makes their own choice. But, God will come and separate "wheat from chaff, saving the wheat and destroying the chaff". Since you are of evil and therefore unable to understand parable, I will spell it out for you. You are chaff, abidingfool.
"Judge not", asshole... or did you not read or believe that part?
You are filled with Satan's poison, as you well know.
You screech like the harpies in hell... were you will soon be... I hope you are fully jabbed and boosted, roach-boy... so you can begin your BBQ very soon!
Have you heard it explained how there is no room for heroism and growth, without difficulty and hardship? That to say "this cannot be justified" means that you are claiming to know for certain that there is *no possible* good eternal outcome that can outweigh the evil? (And don't forget that, since you two are basing this on the Bible, a good part of the blame goes to humans for giving god the middle finger, so to speak.)
He could, but does he want to? The Bible says "behold, I stand at the door and knock", not "I'm gonna barge right into your house and harass you so you can't ignore me".
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves."

According to Christians, God was physically seen as a human in the 1st century, and the entire New Testament is all about that. Not to mention, Christians have the Spirit of God "within them", though perhaps that doesn't count as "seeing" Him per your standards.
What do you think of the argument that God wants to allow people to choose him willingly, rather than demanding subservience through raw power?
So... the world is FUBAR because "God" is revenging "himself" on us for giving him the finger...
Since "he" designed and created us, supposedly... that would be pretty sadistic and psychotic... no?
You figure "God" is a man? With emotions like hate? Takes a lot of hate to send your children to eternal torment... even if they "gave you the finger"... no?
More like, God gave instructions for how to do life properly. If we turn around and say "eff you" and ignore the manufacturer's instructions, how does that make it his fault if bad things happen?
(Are you going to say "but omniscience..."? If I warn my kid that he's going to fall on his arse if he doesn't tie his shoelace, does that make me an evil parent if I let it happen to teach him a lesson?)
Will you send your child to eternal torment if he doesn't tie his shoe correctly?
And ignoring "manufacturer's instructions" written and revised, manipulated and corrupted over the many centuries since they were supposedly written.... deserves eternal torture, but "teaches them a lesson"??
Better analogy, if your child turns to drugs, becomes an addict, and repeatedly refuses your attempts at intervention and persuasion, are you evil for eventually leaving them to the consequences of their choices?
And you were asking about why the world is FUBAR, not about "eternal punishment".

Phewww, and in Him all things hold together. Deep

I’ve always loved this Louie Giglio which he uses this scripture to coincide with his teaching.
I am crying right now listening to Pastor Giglio describe the formation of our EYES - and the Holy Spirit brought to my soul how SAD and HORRIBLY REBELLIOUS our world is to rejoice at KILLING THE MIRACLE OF LIFE IN THE WOMB!!

1000% agree with you Sharon... COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!!
Louie steers the ship well!
I bet that is about laminin!
Yes, Janice, it is. We just listened it to it again as was posting this.
Several years ago I put together and led a women's Bible study on God's character and several of Louie's videos fit nicely with our subject matter. Whenever I hear his voice, it takes me back to our time sharing and rejoicing in our amazing God.

I had never heard of Pastor Giglio - just listening to this "you are a miracle" sermon right now--MANY THANKS, Oma!
Check him out he has many sermons where he uses science, the cosmos, etc. to preach amazing wonders of our God and Maker
I WILL, C.M. (BTW...I really appreciate your 'moniker' - I am a "Concerned Granna"!!
You’re welcome Sharon❤️
((HUGS))
❤️❤️❤️
I love TRUE science, and MOST of all our Scientific Majestic CREATOR!
Wow- the laminim images brought me to tears. Truth!
Thank you Janice. I was very “unsettled” this morning. The world, including the USA, is a wreck. I needed to read that.
Amen!
I come before my Lord in awe and gratitude that I, through the precious blood of my Savior, am eternally found “in Him.”
Amen!
Thank you for posting this🙏 soothing me this morning too
Like balm on dry crusty skin.
Needed this.
Yes, it reminded me of this video explaining that the laminin molecule is shaped like a cross. All things hold together in Jesus Christ. ✝️✨ https://www.facebook.com/1168825914/posts/pfbid0a5ucU5DMywfGfaLhwMtxbQQZQpoiShMbBH7HhbKHCmhJCdmsN4bBNVPoV5sHscgUl/?

Now THIS comment of yours today, Janice, reminds me of another old, Christian hymn..."My Anchor Holds"--do you know that one?
Yes, but I have to go look it up right now for a refresher. :)

That is one of the most soothing pieces Inhave heard in such a long while. Thank you for sharing!

Let us not dwell on the fact that "God" is responsible for the absolute wreck of a world we find ourselves in.
Ancient mythology is fun... no?
No evil people like you are "responsible for the absolute wreck of a world we find ourselves in." He gave humans free will to choose to come to him or to destroy themselves.

But he loves you.
True, and true.
Have you heard it explained how there is no room for heroism and growth, without difficulty and hardship? That to say "this cannot be justified" means that you are claiming to know for certain that there is *no possible* good eternal outcome that can outweigh the evil? (And don't forget that, since you two are basing this on the Bible, a good part of the blame goes to humans for giving god the middle finger, so to speak.)
Food for thought.
It seems to me that an omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient god could easily make their presence known to me, and it seems like they could do a
better job of managing humanity.
He could, but does he want to? The Bible says "behold, I stand at the door and knock", not "I'm gonna barge right into your house and harass you so you can't ignore me".
We'll this Yahweh used to hang out with Abraham, Moses. and wrestles with Jacob. He renames Jacob Israel, but then he still calls him Jacob.
He has a memory like Biden.
Anyway, why has no one seen this god since the Old Testament?
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves."

What do you think of the argument that God wants to allow people to choose him willingly, rather than demanding subservience through raw power?
Did Kamala Harris write that, it is complete nonsense.
LOL!! "God wants to allow people to choose him willingly, rather than demanding subservience through raw power..."
But IF you choose wrongly... you burn in hellfire for eternity?
These pompous, smug douchebags give me a pain... way down low...
So, Philip was not at all convinced that Jesus was anything special.
He was right to be skeptical and ask the 'the Father' present himself.
I have the same ask. If there is a god, then have him/her make an appearance.
Nonsense and you know it.

You worship an imaginary psycho lunatic.

Tell "him" to contact me and tell me himself.
(Thanks, I really WOULD like to hear from "him"!)
