It is not far away.
I hope some of you find that encouraging.

well,,, for me it's like this;

i already died, and Jesus Christ stepped in and is keeping the corpse alive,

and Jesus is bringing this thing called "me" in to the living, and

in due time, "i" shall be fully Alive.

and -i- am not just speaking in allegorical metaphor, but

this is truly how /i/ see it.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such
is the love of God."

"The definition of an atheist: A man full of bluster and bullshit
pretending he is the meaning of life."

"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.

Are you in front of the mirror, Mr Projection Perfection? Take a look.

You should have said, "No, the Lord always stays with me."

Michael,
You're depressing. What do you do for fun? I'm into walking (we recently adopted a Sheltie puppy, who is now 8 months old), watching South Park, playing a few video games, spending time with my three cats, and highest of all, being with and spending time with my spouse, five children and extended family, all of whom I passionately love.
Dawn

By the way, I am glad you have a good life, Dawn, I really am.
But you didn't earn it, you don't deserve it, and you didn't create
it...it was a gift.
You could have told us the name you gave the dog. My dog's name is
Bonnie and she is sitting on my porch watching me right now wondering
when the walk will come about. No, ummm, now she is licking her butt!
Michael

Her name is Shelby; right now she is trying to eat cat poop from the enclosed cat litter boxes.

Animals do those sorts of things. It is good thing you are not an animal.

As for life being a gift from God (as you imply), I find the fact that the number of miscarriages, between 1 in 10 to 1 in 2 (many women don't even know they were pregnant) to be problematic with such a position.

Well, if you are not appreciative, maybe He should take it away?

Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and
fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked
shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD.
Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Or, you take, therefore you cannot bring a accusation upon God. Don't
take, then you might be able to have some validity, but I doubt it.

That is only because you have a dinner invitation, and Duke will be
there serving you in his french maid's uniform.

There is something I haven't told you, though, Duke has always had an
eye for you. If he gets frisky, let me know, and I'll release the
hounds and they can drag him back to hell. He won't want to go back
there! Those Popes can be a little rough, especially the Pope Leos.

As we all know, they are not interested in females and those lions tear
all orifices to pieces and make new ones!
