Rumrunner6900 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen Matthew 6:9-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” The book of Jude rocks! It only has 25 verses, and references the "Book of Enoch" 1 of two books in the bible that does Jude 1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ: 2 Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Contend for the Faith 3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Old and New Apostates 5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. Apostates Depraved and Doomed 12 These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. 14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Apostates Predicted 16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. 17 But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 18 how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. 19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. Maintain Your Life with God 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. Glory to God 24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, 25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiaredskin Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered in shame. --Psalm 34:4-5 By far, my favorite. I'll let this one sink in before posting my other favs. *side note*: He sure delivered me. And all my shame has disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen. This is a typical "hell n brimestone" type message that some who don't understand try to preach. But Jude isn't talking about Christians at all, he is talking about people who don't believe at all, and are only there for their own gain. People without the spirit, peope who deny Jesus. He gave an example in Soddom and Gomorah. And that place was a nightmare of nightmares. It was sooo bad that Lot was going to give the evil men his daughter to do whatever they wanted with her. And that probably meant rape and possibly murder. If you took this passage the wrong way, you would have to throw in Solomon, David, and Moses. Moses didn't even make it to the promise land. But what's the difference? They all believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. - Ezekiel 25:17 (Pulp Fiction ) But seriously, for me it is: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. then you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. - Isaiah 43:2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 huh?I think you are talking about jude being concise? but I'm not sure :laugh: Yes, I was joking. I was listening to NPR a few weeks ago and they had a poet on from the New Yorker (Calvin Trillin), and he was talking about how he got paid by the piece instead of the word, and so when he wrote a four word poem he was the highest paid poet (by word) in New Yorker history. One of his pieces (about Lloyd Bentsen) was "The man is known for pro quo quidness/In Texas that's how folks do bidness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
