Really did you read the scripture I posted?

If so you have rejected the word of God.

How do you think the Israel entered the promised land?

Deuteronomy 7:1-6
The Privilege of Holiness
“When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you. When the Lord your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them.

You see Dccontro... the problem is the Bible is not to be studied but meditated upon. It's a scripture not textbook. You have to go deeper than what you read. It's a spiritual book not book of material wellness.

D.C. Newsflash everyone gets saved because that's one of Gods attribute. Which is the Ever forgiving King. So being saved is really nothing. Because ultimately everyone will join the light regardless.

Oh Blue.

Do I have to tell you that there are two types of "believe"??
Even demons believe that Jesus exists.
But do they believe IN Jesus?

There is a belief of the mind,
and a belief of the heart.

It's understood what type of belief I meant...

Desertrose here. (Not blue) :) I was trying to be kind.

I only mentioned it in case others in the thread who aren't believers yet, or for those seeking truth, but don't have it yet didn't get the wrong idea. I knew you knew!

Reminds me of a joke

One day, two prawns, Christian and Cecil, were drinking at the Coral Bar, discussing things that prawns discuss. One of the topics was the local shark population, on whose diet was prawns.

"I wonder what life would be like as a shark." said Cecil. "It would be interesting to find out what it's like to be the enemy. Don't criticize it until you tried it, you know!"

"Well, I don't know how that can be done." said Christian. "I'm sure I wouldn't want to be a shark."

As the two friends left the bar, a huge bolt of lightning from the tropical storm raging above the surface hit the sea next to where Cecil was swimming. Lo and behold, he found that he had turned into a shark.

"Wow" he thought, "So now I can actually find out what life is like as a shark. No more cowering in crevices, afraid of being eaten, able to swim far and wide. It's fantastic!"

As time went on, he discovered that, not surprisingly, all his old prawn friends were not interested in talking to him. He gradually became more and more lonely, and started pining for his old way of life.

"Oh, how I wish I could become a prawn again, and be able to talk to my old friends. I wonder if another lightning bolt could change me back to being a prawn?"

A couple of days later, as a storm blew in from the far horizon, a large lightning strike hit the sea's surface next to Cecil.
Flash, bang, and he was once again a prawn.

"Oh, yes!" he cried. "now I must swim back to the bay, and meet my friends again. They won't believe what has happened. I can't wait to tell them!"

A day's fast swim brought him back to the bay where he had spent all his life as a prawn, and he immediately went to Christian's home, an old conch shell. As he knocked on the shell, he called out "I'm back, it's Cecil."

"Oh no, I'm not falling for that old shark trick." called out Christian. "If I come out, you'll eat me."
"I won't, I promise. Please come out and we'll go and celebrate at the Coral Bar!"

"No, no, I don't believe you. You were a shark when I last saw you, and I know what tricks sharks will play to get a meal.
“Just go away!" Christian screamed.



Cecil returned with:

"I'm not a shark any more ......
... I'm a prawn again, Christian!"

Sorry, I had to edit out the image :D

The first time I bit into a prawn... I immediately spit it out.

What would you call that texture?

They are bottom feeding scavengers.

I know that does not bother some people.

It is all just protein etc anyways, right?

Reconfigured through the digestive tract...

We really are wonderfully made :)
