I have a few prayers I would add, but not scripture per say so I don't want to hijack the thread. If you start a prayer thread let me know.

Feel free to post it here!

Great scriptures.
Not really trying to get a debate going; more or less a rhetorical question.
How does a Calvinist explain 2 Peter 3:9?
God doesn't want ANYONE to perish, but wants ALL to come to repentance.

Good question.

I'll start another thread about it

Amen

Philippians 2: 5,6
New World Translation: 5 Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.

King James Version: 5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (reflecting King James beliefs. Not a translation from Greek manuscripts)

American Standard Version: 5. Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped

^^^^^^^ In reference to:

Philippians 2: 5,6
"New World Translation: 5 Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God."

I would be careful to not draw any theological doctrine from "translations" like the "New World Translation" which obviously have a particular sectarian bias, or other similar "translations" that were written to reflect a particular "translators" viewpoint. These are call "interpretations", not translations.

You can see that the same verses shown below clearly state that even though Jesus and God are co-equal, Jesus himself chose to lower himself to the position of a mere man while here on earth. The NWT attempts to twist that narrative because the particular sect who wrote the NWT doesn't believe that Jesus and God the Father are co-equals.

The problem they have is they think it is poly-theistic to believe that God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three-in-one (or as some call a Trinity). However, they (WTTBS) have created a situation where they in fact are the ones creating a poly-theistic view. If you question these folks closely, they will admit that Jesus is divine. That creates quite a conundrum for them; If God is divine, and Jesus is divine, and they are totally separate beings, you have now created a poly-theistic scenario.

NIV translation:
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness.

NASB (probably the most literal translation);
5 Have this attitude [e]in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be [f]grasped, 7 but [g]emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and [h]being born in the likeness of men.

Many of us are still praying and crying out.... Hosanna!....."Save us Lord"

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen

Thank you.

A farmer and his family in ancient China owned a horse. His neighbors said how lucky he was to have such a fine horse to pull his plow through the fields. The farmer said, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”

One day the horse broke through the gate and ran away. His neighbors came around to lament his terrible loss, saying it was a terrible bit of bad luck. The farmer said, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”

Days later the horse returned to the farm along with seven wild horses. His neighbors came around to exclaim his remarkable good fortune, saying, “Now you are rich!” The farmer said, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”

A few weeks later the farmer’s son was training the new wild horses and fell off and broke his leg. The neighbors came around to commiserate his misfortune and said, “What bad luck!” The farmer replied, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”

The next week the army came around taking all the able-bodied young men from the village to fight in the war. The farmer’s son with the broken leg was left behind. The neighbors now lamented the loss of their sons and commented on how lucky the farmer was to have his son.

And so the story goes on…

The Lord's many blessing to you for posting His encouraging Word.

Thank you for the kind words.

I am glad to do it!

Creation does tell of His Majesty and Glory.
Thanks Levi!

Blessings,
Mark

AMEN!

Evening scripture, morning edition...

Thank you for speaking life changing words. Gods Word will never return void. It is powerful and life changing, sharper than any 2 edged sword. Jesus loves all of you. None of your sins are too great for Him. Jesus loves you no matter what you think about Him or yourself.

Glad to do it

With all the bad going on in this world.. you still read these quotes? Lol. Whatever floats your boats!!

What's your angle?

What floats your boat?

What would you recommend? Watching the news? Social media?

I find the Bible to be relevant and more beneficial than many sources out there in this age.

Tell me, could you apply this to today?
