Let me preface first, this by saying: (despite many attempts to say this, and having to suffer interjections), the consensus among the group was not that You, Pastor Phil were wrong in your interpretation, but rather that through our own personal understanding (sans the extensive study that you well put together) we came up with something a little different.<BR/><BR/>I don't think we were wrong, but rather that our understanding had yet to materialize to what you were trying to relay due to our lack of study.<BR/><BR/>Now that that has been said, I am able to receive your (possibly the more correct) meaning(s) of the passage.im_anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686047188786565276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254771329743172067.post-11479151138394896262008-04-30T19:34:00.000-07:002008-04-30T19:34:00.000-07:00WOW what an informative bible study!!

What do you think about Barack Obama's ex-Pastor's comments this week. Did anyone get an opportunity to see or hear one of his entire telecast tapings? I really have a totally different view of him now. However, his response to the question about Islam religion and them going to heaven without believing in Jesus was not what I expected. Unless I didn't interpret the question and/or his response I was in total disagreement. Sound off Porchites!!

God wants to bring into our tangible existence His Word however we need to know and believe (Pistueo) His Word. What a difference our Creator (Bara) makes in our lives when we Fear and obey Him according to Eccle 12 (last two verses). I am so glad to be maturing into the image in which He made us. I want everyone to share what the Creator is doing in your life.

In the beginning God created (revealed, opened up or brought into a tangible existence) the heavens and the earth. There is nothing new under the sun. God just opens it up to us. Just as Jesus always was, 1 John 1:1 says "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared (was revealed, opened up, brought into a tangible existence;) we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has (been revealed, opened up, brought into a tangible existence) appeared to us." As we continue to follow the Spirit of God, it is yet to be revealed,(opened up, brought into a tangible existence) what we will look like. 1 John 3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. That’s the creative power of God!

Don't waste that on the world! Remembering as in recalling His faithfulness, oh His justice, mercy, goodness and descriptions too numerous to name. It takes a youthful heart to get and stay in that place. One that has not been tanted or defiled with the cares of this world! One that's innocent and just takes God at His word, as an infant trusts and take their parents at their word..until something happens in that relationship that defiles that level of trust. God is constantly reassuring us in His word and showing us His faithfulness and there are never times that He does not do what He says He's going to, so we can, as His child, safely trust in Him. We can until that perfect day of redemption(maturity)! I hear the preacher saying here, don't go to the world first and then try to come back to this place of innocense, trust me, he's saying, I've had it all and I've done it all and at the end of the day it all was vanity, but a vapor, nothing, empty, void of purpose! Young person (in age or in the Lord), recall those things regarding our Creator. And lastly a shout out to our saved parents...give our children and God something to work with!

In the time of our life where we are most free, uninhibited, inquisitive, and malleable so happens to be in the literal years of younger age.<BR/><BR/>We should find resolve in a place where we can be those things - whether it be sans age or not. Namely, it's easier to fulfill our God-given purpose when we settle in such a place. I believe we're of greater/easier use when we walk in this mindset.<BR/><BR/>It becomes a more difficult feat to possess these qualities as the years progress and we move to the latter years of life - marked by qualities of inhibitions disinterest, and stiffness.
