hyperlybuilt I'm back! I thought the teaching was good today God doesn't want us to have true pain and suffering which is being away from him in hell so he lets us have little pain and suffering here on earth while following him because that's nothing compared to suffering in hell. he talked about a guy who was in a blizzard lost and looking for his camp. he could only see around a foot in front on him eventually he just gave up. after a little while he heard a little puppy and so he cralled to fine where it was and found a little puppy dying in the snow just like he was. he didn't want the poor little puppy to die so it stayed up all night rubbing it to keep it warm and that kept him alive long enough for the search team to come and find him all because he was trying to keep the little puppy alive. so the lesson here is sometimes when you help other people you can inadvertantly (sp?) help yourself. Hey, i agree with you, on the second part, thats a really good lesson as well, sorta sweet too : ). But on the second, its like you're saying, either way God wants us to suffer for the sake of suffering...(so he lets us have little pain and suffering here on earth while following him because that's nothing compared to suffering in hell. )...The reason we sometimes suffer here on earth is to learn a lesson from God, not for the sake that we have to suffer. Also it's means God probably uses to reveal himself to us sometimes.

To put it in short terms... I learned that the Noahs arc flood is scientifically proven to have happened, and that the dimensions for Noahs Arc are used today to build sea ships. it's a REALLY safe boat that those dimensions build and... yea. something about dinosaurs... sweatdrop

X_Eternal__rest lilacluva05 my pastor has been preaching on this subject for the past two sundays. here's my notes: Quote: 01-08-2006 1 Peter 2:9-10 We are: a chosen generation a royal priesthood a holy nation a special people What kind of life are you going to live in 2006? Are you going to live a common life or an uncommon life? Don't lower your standards and be common to be "accepted"! the world wants to MAKE you common. but we're not OF the world. Keep your uniqueness! When you show your uniqueness and your specialness it's an attractive quality. You shouldn't want to be like everyone else... DON'T COMPROMISE! You won't be as special anymore and therefore not as attractive. Just like McDonald's.... just keep on drivin' there'll be another one down the road. How LONG are we going to deal with the common before we become uncommon? BUT don't walk around thinking you're better than everyone.... walking around with your Bible smacking people on the head "YOU NEED JESUS! YOU NEED JESUS!" just don't lower your standards. Thats a pretty good message, i think i'll try to remember that 1, we often forget, were not really part of this world. For ex. I and a couple of friends were watching a show called "Fabulous life of celebrities", and saw guys who basically are meant to have "Everything", money, girls/ guys, famous, million acre houses (slight exageration) etc etc, and my friends..though normally cooler razz , were like, Man i wish i had that. Then i started to think a bit when a thought came to me and reminded me that, hold on...they dont have the most important thing, Jesus, My father (God) has everything especially stuff money cant buy, eg peace, happiness, true satisfaction..that feeling you get when you worship God from your heart with other christians knowing that yes, i do have everything. And also i remembered that wait a sec,...Im not even of this world, just a stranger, why should i conform to what other people want and say you have to have or do, when my father gives all, be it love, grace, blessing,..especially Love. So then i started to think, what kinda life would i live even though i gained the whole world, yet lost my soul, this life is like what a tiny while, while eternity, Hheaven is like forever,..and hell. So by this i started to realise that hey, its time to concentrate on whats important. Wow, cant belief i typed this much..well this is my first post ^ ^ Hope this means something to someone. yeah! totally! i'm glad you realized that.... it took me a while to realize that same principle but a different situation... sweatdrop if you get that.... it was that i had low self-esteem... very low... redface and i always thought about what people think of me... which is good depending on how much you obsess about it... i over-obsessed about it... ever since maybe 1st grade... well about 6 or 7 months ago God totally gave me a breakthrough... i was completely free of it! then about 2 months later He broke me free of my low self-image. I FEEL WONDERFUL!!! i don't have the big burden tied to my back all the time... GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!! biggrin anyways... the principle is the same in that we're not of this world so i don't have to worry about if my clothes are up to the standard of this world because I'M NOT EVEN OF THIS WORLD!!! 4laugh *sigh* He's so awesome...

Here's one thing that I have learned on my own, but is still relevant to this topic. Any demon, if you simply stare them down and have no fear then they will go away. That is one of God's many gifts.

I learned that the gospel of John has two levels of understanding, an immediate level and a deeper, more spiritual level
