You and I my friend, are those of Whom our Almighty God longed for in the beginning. You are the fulfillment of the desire of God to have someone who will at some point, go to be with Him so that He can welcome you into a Paradise that He has created for those who chose to love Him unconditionally.
Hello Classik,
Chopper nailed it! I could add a foot note to this, in fact I will. Many, halfheartedly seek after God and are heard asking, "Jesus came to restore what?" They ask and some study for a time before giving up, never reading the Bible Jesus taught from and the Bible He taught the first twelve and Paul to teach from.
The reason and the Scriptural Answer is found in the first three chapters of Genesis where God walked with a naked Adam in the cool of the day, talking to one another. They enjoyed an activity that, in most circles today, the proper name is viewed as vulgar and might be removed because of the lack of education in the USA today but it is properly name Oral Intercourse. There is a sweetness this crass society knows not of today, in large part, also known as fellowship.
Actually, fellowship is larger than just conversation (Oral Intercourse) and is much more inclusive. But this is what was lost when Adam chose to follow Eve into sin. Think, for just a moment; The sweetness of strolling, in Adam's case naked, symbolic of without reservation and care for position, just strolling with Wisdom and feasting on it.
to play soccerwhy? what?
When I was in the military I was, for most of it, a devout atheist but I liked hanging out with the Chaplains when I wasn't drunk. One of the Catholic Chaplains enjoyed the study of old English and particularly the seventeenth century and he introduced me to the usage of the expression that today has been twisted by these revisionists of everything. Through his studies I understood it to mean a well considered exchange of honest thoughts by educated peoples.Sorry old Buddy, I don't understand what you're getting at. Oral intercourse? Where did that come from?
Good morning Jojoe,Thanks for making conversation even more uncomfortable for me. 2
To me it doesn't matter why he made us. All I know is that he did, and I am very greatful. Heck even with knowledge I wouldn't mind strolling with God in my b-day suit.
Most aren't as liberal
My next med is Morphine, I will no longer resist going there but were it not for my Jesus I should have been there long ago. I am amused a good deal, every time I think back to the day I was given six months to live and it is the same with the pain, without Jesus, I could never adjust my attitude and ignore it.It seems to me that it would be best just to drop this latest topic. I love you Bill, and don't want someone to jump in here and twist what you had on your mind....I'm praying that somehow our Almighty God would relieve some of your pain and the trials that immense pain brings with it.
For the past three days, the vertigo or whatever it is has kicked my butt. I do wonder, my hurting friend, why each day has to be so miserable. I long to depart from this rotten life of pain but realize that there is more work for me to do for my Master. Bill, how do you do it??
When I pray for relief and there is a task I receive the relief I need for the period I need it.
I haven't gone there yet, I'm still using a cocktail mixture that includes Tramadol but the next time my doc suggests it, I'm going to allow it. I was so wound up in drugs in the seventies and a good part of the eighties that I fear them now.Glad the pain killers are there for you, Bill.
The Opiates are so good at what they do, they are always to me anyway, just another testament God exists (as if I really need one) when I see such a perfect drug is available when we need it and the make up of the drug itself.
It's the only category of drugs that can do the job with pain, but it not only takes care of pain so well but the depression because one in the pain situation. Then on top of those two perfect things, he made it highly addictive so most of us don't play with it when we don't need too. All that rolled into one plant or a synthetic copy of what comes from that plant...amazing.
Hope they are doing their job for you.
Yes, we have not because we ask not.Then there's is the supernatural that's more amazing yet.
Good morning Jojoe,
Sorry, the past 24 to thirty have been a sleep the pain off period and I just awoke. I had no intention to make you nor anyone else uncomfortable but in truth, there is nothing and I do mean nothing, we can do that we do not carry God into if we are saved and the Holy Spirit lives in us, no matter what. You, Chopper, ez and anyone else that holds the Holy
Spirit cannot put on enough clothing to hide, even, your thoughts from God. We are as if we were naked in front of God but without shame either.
As I understand it, that would be a later state in the evolution of our English language. Sounds just as good but not as intimate. And conversing with God has become the most intimate thing I have ever done.Oral discourse is what I have heard used
