Thanks for the post ashlanddog! Always great Biblical stories and comments coming from you, supplying us with our daily bread! Your efforts in the Great Awakening will not go unnoticed in eternity, I have a good feeling :)
I love the story about the Canaanite woman, because on it's face it seems like Jesus is hard-hearted, or some even say "racist". Calling her a dog (the greek word used is more like "pet dog" not "mangy cur" or anything like that), saying his blessing is for Jews first. But really I can't imagine Jesus loves turning people's requests down, just as God says "I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked" in Ezekiel 33:11.
This story illuminates a simple point of logic and logistics about the gospel and the church. Blessings and resources simply go to the family first, then to the world. But it also illustrates the position non-believers are in, and how submission to Christ is all it takes for the request to be answered. Upon faith and belief, they join the family, God makes them a new creation, and boom, they are a priest and a temple in one, and they can go to Jesus with prayers and woes alike!
Well in this case, Jesus was teaching this woman something that she needed to learn. She was a gentile, and he was pointing out to her that while he was around doing ministry, he was focusing on the Jews first ("to the Jew first and also to the Greek" Romans 1:16).
He was showing her the submission and faith that will open her to joining the family, revealing to her she was not yet in that family, though she was close. That's why it says "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs". He was showing her she had another step of humility to take before his blessing would be made available. And he was surprised by her faith, even being God Himself (as well as a man at the time). He was not calling her a dog, but saying that she hadn't joined the family yet to "get bread with the children" so to speak.
I'm not sure how you got all that from Spurgeon's quote, but I assure you prayer is nothing like that. Like you said about yourself, God also teaches us what He expects out of us, and he "actually helps us" according to His will and plan.
Would the God of the universe be such a vapid and childish creature like you have spelled out in your comment? Perhaps you're missing the point.
I hope that makes sense, I mean no offence and only am trying to clear up misunderstanding. Peace and God bless.
God bless her for her strength and courage, I can't imagine waking up and realizing I'm no longer myself, and will never be. I can't imagine knowing I could have sterilized myself, forever ending any plans to start a family.
I pray and weep for these people, they are victims of one of Satan's greatest lies. Despite the pain I know she is going through, I'm really happy to see her coming out of the funk and facing the music so to speak.
This will keep happening...
Yes they have done some impressive work, all evil considered. For one, they have infiltrated the greatest human empire the earth has ever seen with Marxism, indoctrinating their audience and gaining power and wealth you and I could only dream of. I pray there is a camera on their faces when they finally face justice in this material realm.
It's referring to the powers themselves, to fallen angels and demons, and to spiritual warfare. Human beings themselves are never our true enemy, as each person is a potential brother or sister in Christ. That's why our weapons are arguments and ideas, not blades and guns.
This is precisely why we should remain calm. We need to remember that even the people who believe this hogslop are victims of the most expensive, most massive demoralization propaganda machine in human history.
When Q says "Military is the only way", it's because what is coming (the precipice) will not be stopped by unorganized pissed off patriots who have been holding in rage for years. Whatever chaos occurs, we will need to rely on the US Military to stop it. Likewise for justice. We will probably need military involvement for the arresting and trying of some of these people.
You are 100% correct (as far as I believe).
This "controlled demolition" is literally like a chess game. You make your move. They make theirs. You may have a gameplan, and you may know their gameplan, even well enough that you already know you have checkmate coming up. But they still get to make moves, and this evil enemy will THRASH and CLAW until they are fully defeated.
The precipice is going to look horrifying, but military is the only way.
I'd like to have a bit of a conversation with any Christians here in the comments:
What is the right thing to do if you are an observer in this situation. My gut reaction is to stop that abomination, suggest the child's parents leave immediately, and ensure that creature stays away. But this could immediately cause a lot of problems, and even start physical conflict.
Thoughts?
Exactly!
Now, could Satanists and other false religions TAKE that hand sign and corrupt it to mean whatever they want? Yea, that happens with all sorts of things.
Hitler's mustache used to be a fashionable style until he did his thing. The swastika was an ancient symbol before the Nazi's co-opted it into their Third Reich. Even letters change, sharing symbols between Greek, Cyrillic, English, Spanish, and so on.
I appreciate the post and completely agree, but this place attracts all those disenfranchised by MSM and the Deep State. That ranges from people looking for logic and reason, to people who are literally accidentally correct, to people who believe everything they read, to people who "notice" patterns even when they're not there.
Once again, thanks for the post, we need to talk about this topic a lot more as it is a problem. Just like the court of law, we need real evidence and reasons to believe things and act on those beliefs. A lot of people here don't respect that, and just want to conjecture and engage in apophenia for fun.
Are you referring to the Q or “Great Awakening” when you say “QAnon Movement?
Or are you referring to the misnomer that Mockingbird Media uses, “QAnon”, when they try to discredit our movement?
If it’s the latter, that would be really interesting because I’ve never seen anything that reveals that nonsense to be any bigger than a dumb smear.
I'm so sorry. Please know that the anons that express hatred are wrong and bitter as we all are from this madness. I'll say a prayer for you two, and remember that what has been done to you can POSSIBLY be undone. There are steps we can take to mitigate the damage from these vaccines, and as the days go on, we will discover more and more methods of flushing the poison. God bless <3
Yea anyone who does not worship the One True God only is being played. It's a massive pyramid scheme with the Father of Lies at the "top". False Religion and Idols all the way down...
I feel bad for witches because everyone wants to be part of something big and young girls are just wasting their time and energy to be played by beings that hate their guts and want to consume them 1 billion ways.
Thanks for the report. I don't use FB so I would never notice this.
Hopefully you're right and they are backpedaling. Hopefully they still see mundane justice for all the patriots and truth-seekers that they banned, blocked, censored, and harassed.
Yes, thank God we are still able to take care of this problem with words instead of the alternative. And the left is MASTERFUL at manipulating words and definitions to slink by and commit evil.
Our work is cut out for us, and we need to be aware of every trick they use (whether consciously or unconsciously) so we can stick to the truth. For their sake and for ours.
