If this is an indication of how and why we really became a nation back in 1776, then I don't know what is!

And who do you think gave David the courage? Who gave him his abilities? The second that stone left that sling, it was in God’s hands. David was the hammer, God was the hand. As all of us should hope to be, a tool for God to work with. The minute we take things into our own hands we’re saying we can do this without God’s help. David gave the praise and glory to God. This lady needs help understanding this.
God saves the very best for last, we may not know what he does with every single person in this world.
But I can assure you, it will be extraordinary and great to see when it finally does come to pass.
Remember that david was a shepard since his youth, he slain lions, wolves, and bears with his sling. He was no rank amateur with it. He was in fact a highly trained, accurate, killing machine.
Yes that is correct without God nothing is possible, but however we cannot also just idly sit around and do nothing expecting things will be alright regardless of what might happen or not.
There's a reason why we're living in these appointed times destined by The LORD before our own times came to be, we have to be willing to be used by God for His purposes and everything associated.
Because if not, then another will be tasked with what we we were originally supposed to go and do in His Name.
The stone just knocked him out. David still had to cut off his head. He also took it back to israel with him.
God made you in his image and he gave you a soul. Your actions, your words, your thoughts glorify him because of this. He does not interfere in our world, and he has no plan laid out for you, and does not materially guide you through this world.
Jesus tells us about this original gift, how to build it, why we should grow it, what it means to master it, and to use it to recreate the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. This is what he wants for you. To be in his absolute image. This is how we are judged.
Anyways.. the point of the story isn't that David is super awesome and courageous, it's that Saul was a giant pussy and shouldn't have been king.
“ He does not interfere in our world, and he has no plan laid out for you, and does not materially guide you through this world.”
To speak this about God the Father…may be the most ignorant thing I’ve heard in a long while. God knows exactly to the what and where. And does have a plan for every single one of us. To not understand this about God amazes me. Get informed friend. Those kinds of statements are ridiculous.
Yes.. and he also says you shall be "delivered from evil."
He did. Then we ate from the tree of knowledge. Then we were expelled from the garden. Since that day, we have been on our own.
I get that you have a differing opinion, but you've offered nothing other than the difference. What, in the scripture, makes you think I'm wrong? Why is this even amazing to you? Have you ever read the parable of the lost sheep?
I think they're completely justified. I've read the words of Jesus many times. Your life is given to you, you will be judged on what you do with it, you are in God's image. You are expected to find your own way. The parable of the three talents makes this perfectly clear. The parable of the master and the vineyard make this perfectly clear.. at least, to me.
God is not looking for obedient slaves. He already had the Angels. He made You for a different purpose.
It can all be summed up with your original statement I quoted. You say God has no plan for us. Then why were you created? Answer that. If God has zero to do with us, then trying to explaining (“ He does not interfere in our world, and he has no plan laid out for you, and does not materially guide you through this world.”) is gonna give you a migraine.
You think God didn’t know what was gonna happen in the garden of Eden? You don’t think he knew what and how anything and everything was gonna happen? God is all knowing. All powerful. He knows your every thought and what you are really made of. He created you. The life in your lungs came from His very own. Infinite wisdom. Sorry fren you have severely underestimated God’s ability. Jesus himself even said only God knows when this ends.
Matthew 24:36, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”- Jesus
Knows all. Is all.
My parents loved each other and created life. The Lord gave them this power, and with their souls united together in front of Christ, they chose to fulfill his commandments. This pleases God when this happens.
That is not what I said. You will certainly be judged by Him after this life ends. You have quite a bit to do with Him. You have quite a bit to show for yourself and your life when you arrive.
Do you think he fully guides your path all the way there? If so, why would he then need to judge you? Why would hell ever need to exist?
Not particularly. To accept your view, you would also have to believe that God creates and is responsible for all the evil in the world. Do you really think God conspires in the murder, rape and torture of humans for the purposes of meddling with their souls? If so, again, what does He judge you for, then? Why did he send is only son to forgive us our sins?
Yes, but you assume he uses that power the way you might. God can choose whether or not to use that power. When we were cast out, God intentionally put us in a place where He would not use His power, a place of evil, a place outside of His kingdom and glory, because he willed it so. He cursed us to know pain. He cursed us to know death.
God has the power, even then, to give us free will. To make us in His own image. What do you think that means? That you simply have two legs and arms and eyes?
I'm sorry.. but I think you are trying to build a particular view of God that would alleviate you of all the responsibility he has placed on you. Your soul was given to you, to carry into this evil place, to shine your light onto other souls and to lift them up, to work together and work the never ending missing to recreate his Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
It's a heavy burden that He places on us. He expects us to carry it. The greatest gift you can bring God is another soul that has been enlightened with the truth and who has accepted Christ into their being. That's a power you have. God will not guide you to do this or whisper in your ear when the time is right.. you have all the power to do this on your own. How are you not absolutely excited about that?
Precisely. He's talking about his return. And on that day, the people will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. His Kingdom is separate from Earth, until that time.
Your all over the place. And very confusing. Your parents create life about as much as a oven creates a casserole. Only God creates. Only God allows. I’m glad I had people with a strong foundation to be around when I was saved. The scripture is clear. A good preacher would help you. Your right in many areas of course. But you say things and then contradict them. Sorry, I don’t have time to debate your every thought. There is nothing difficult. Nothing hard. No burdens. Anything hard is on us, because of disobedience and stubbornness. God is real. Jesus is God in flesh. So as long as you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and believe He died on the cross for your sins, was buried in a tomb for three days and then resurrected, you shall have eternal life. Salvation. There are only two commandments Jesus said for us to have. I hope you don’t over complicate salvation with nonbelievers. It’s free. It’s easy. Walking the path can be difficult, it’s also why we have help. I’m glad your saved. But from a newborn to faith. You need to stop making things complicated. And saying things that are not in scripture. Your feelings and opinions are yours, not God’s Word . I have no opinions. I just learn from the Bible.
We clearly disagree. If you want to probe those disagreements to see where they go, I'm game. If not, then we have nothing further to discuss.
As I said.. I think this moral philosophy is both wrong and dangerous and directly contradicts scripture. You say you are saved, and then you act as if you have no further responsibilities. Jesus speaks directly to those who hold this attitude, several times. If your life does not bear fruit, your soul will be eternally damned. Hearing the word is one thing, living it is another.
I'm not making anything complicated, I'm attempting to correctly understand the words of God and the meaning of his sacrifice for us. I'm attempting to apply the parables of Christ to my own life. If you read God's words and feel comfortable and unburdened and completely saved without any efforts on your part, then I don't know what to say to you other than that Sloth is a deadly sin; and it shows itself in places where many faithful don't expect.
Our disagreements are just that. We glorify God by talking together and attempting to understand Him and ourselves. If this is the end of our conversation, then I will wish good luck to you, my friend.
God made men. Colt made them equal
And God created both.
That Asian chic is super hot.
Calm down Mr Swalwell
Wrong. "PRAYER IS ACTION!" Sometimes God's answer is "Do nothing they will destroy themselves". If you picked up the Rock (with out) being covered by prayer Goliath cuts your head off. It is through prayer, that when and how to act(or not)is REVEALED.
Take me back to 1775 when America had balls, and chicks didn't.
are we not doing "don't let the BH incite us to violence" anymore? it's still in the sidebar.
https://files.catbox.moe/42fxt7.jpeg
So the mods who also have on this on the sidebar are "Black Hats." also calling for "violence." as well?
Where have I heard this before, sounds real leftist to me. If I was violent surely you don't expect people like that to remain on GAW without repercussions, just like the 200+ people who upvoted this post.
i'll admit that picking up rocks is pretty mild as use of force goes, but it still has nothing to do with becoming involved in the political process, children's education or raising the flag.
if you're going to conflate mod and upvoter behavior with BH behavior you're going to have to bullshit a lot better than that.
I have not incited violence, what I have done that indicates such? I didn't say for anyone to go out and do that, the image I posted means you cannot just sit around and do nothing expecting for good to happen.
Which basically points out what you said about getting involved in teaching our children and raising the flag but not in a manner senseless of violence.
If you think that what I posted incites violence, you're no better than the people who accuse people like us of being "insurrectionist." for supporting Trump no matter the cost and also believing J6 wasn't a riot as they preach to the masses that it was one.
the image you posted says don't bother praying, fight instead.
again you conflate the argument with something else entirely, your bullshit is actually getting weaker.
My argument isn't bullshit, I proved you have no evidence of me being a black hat. If I was, I wouldn't be defending the truth or posting as much.
You think of my statements to be false, but getting involved does mean being violent. I never called anyone to violence, it's the same thing.
You brought the attention of raising our children and the flag into this conversation, I remained on track.
The image I posted also doesn't say not to pray, where it does say that? It says you can pray all you want and the rest of it is history in what it says, that means to me you cannot just stand and do nothing to expect the best.
So to you that's violence to say be lazy and complacent instead than to care for your own community and country in terms of contribution?
The sidebar says we neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here. my interpretation of that -and of most here- is that to do otherwise is a common bh/shill tactic. so if you're all fired up about not having that label then just post a disclaimer and ask a mod to pin it at the top- "I do not condone violence when i post images about picking up stones, it's complicated and 2ndenthusiast is mean to me. also, i'm very confused today."
Pray continually and if you have to use stones
God acts through us, not for us.
