Coyotes are cowardly! Believe me I know! You can scare coyotes...but wolves are a bit more brave! Ugh...:-(
Darling, coyotes are smart. They weigh the odds before getting in a fight. They want to win. Knowing not to fight when you will lose isn't cowardice. Coyotes know how big they are (unlike chihuahuas) and know they can lose. Wolves are simply bigger and know it takes more to best them.
God's creatures are cowards...well except for man. ;)
I can tell tales.....:)

I will be praying for her. I have found that you can't convince someone who is set in their ways, that they are wrong. Trying to reason with them may not be the best idea. The best thing to do is pray.
thank you for any prayers for 'B'

Yes. Praying is what I've been doing. Chances are if she knows the Word then she knows there are things believers shouldn't be dabbling in but she would rather I didn't ask questions or try to point it out. That's why I was asking for prayer, that He might soften her heart to hear what He has to say on the matter since it's best to let the Holy Spirit point them out from here.


New Age and Spirituality
- (examples)
the awakening of a new consciousness

Meditation needn’t take long, but it can help us enter a realm of pure Being

transcending identification with ego through discovering stillness within and aligning with the two primary movements of the cosmos

At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that's seen as the next step in human evolution

GodSelf: An Awakened Being Living in Heaven on Earth.

GodSelf is the pinnacle of human expression, a Union between the humanity of flesh and bone, and the energy of the Eternal. It is a state of being that we can slip into and slide away from, and call upon to inhabit. GodSelf is an amalgamation of all that we are and all that we are capable of becoming. It includes living in the physical world, ingesting life with our five senses, while Remembering our spiritual nature and the Oneness that defines our existence.

The Godself is the essence of God within you. You are the essence of God physically expressing itself on Earth. The essence of God is love. Love is all you are; it is your true state, your real self. Love is your base, your foundation.

One who is aware of his Godself or trueself recognizes it in all. Regardless of his position in the world, he will see you as an equal, a brother or sister in the remembering process. He will look at you as an equal because he recognizes your divinity. His knowledge of himself will strengthen yours. You are here in part to remember your Godself, your divinity. Your Godself is the truth of who you are
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this stuff is NOT aligned with the teachings of Jesus Christ of the Bible.

And now...

I've made a fresh batch of rice krispies treats.

The hubby is out golfing after his hard day at work so he'll come home to treats.

treats = happy hubby

P.S. He just called and said he was on the way home, asking if I made the treats. I said yes. He said, "Oh baby!!" :D

*chokes* Yeh that stuff ain't good. And I wasn't doubting you earlier or anything just that some people can be a bit melodramatic at times or whatever, its easier to see what you mean by example :)

Not a problem. It was a legit question to clarify.

I did some study into what she was posting and kept it in documents.

I just wanted to share something that's bothering me.

I've tried to talk to 'a friend' who feels she's a Christian (has been for many years). We are childhood friends in RL but have stopped speaking recently since I began pointing out some error and counterfeit that she might be leaning into such as the god-self and various other new age hocus pocus nonsense lingo. She goes to church, reads the bible, post scripture, has christian friends, witnesses about Jesus, etc. However, I also see where she posts online about those new age thoughts or quotes as if they're equally wonderful things to embrace. Even if I try to talk to her about it, she politely ignores it all. How can a Christian have one foot in the world and one foot in the Kingdom and say that both are profitable for spiritual growth? How can we sift through the things of the world gathering what we assume is spiritually edifying and then discard the rest? My concern is that she is not listening to the Holy Spirit's voice but to a different voice.

I've tried to reason with her with an understanding that if we took a gallon of the purest drinking water and added a tablespoon of dung to it, would we still drink it saying it was safe. couldn't it possibly make us (spiritually) sick or contaminate our (walk/minds) body?

How should we view such behavior without condemning that someone in the Lord?
They are...
a. being deceived
b. being rebellious thinking that they know best
c. running after other gods
d. all the above

There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 13:12

Please pray for 'B' that the Holy Spirit will open her eyes to the truth of what she is doing. ty
Father

Please be with our sister's friend....soften her heart to hear Your Holy Spirit, open her ears to only hear Your truth, open her eyes to see the errors and strengthen our sister to love her friend back to You and the Bible truth. Thank You for hearing and answering our prayer according to Your will. In Jesus Name Amen....

wait...Australia has time zones, doesn't it?? :confused:
i always thought they're between 8 and 10 hours ahead of eastern time, US?

at any rate, Breno's the one who said morning. :rolleyes:

how's that for Christian fellowship?
i just tossed him right under the bus. :)
I thought I figured out 16 hours ahead for me, which would be 13 ahead for you. I just know the Aussies are only on here in the evenings, most of the time. I think the Brits are the ones who are on at night when it is our morning.

Standing in agreement, lifting your words to the Lord. Thank you, Father. Amen.

Made me tear up. ty (hugs2u)

And thank you to those who have said silent prayers or who will pray later when the Holy Spirit brings 'B' to mind.

It's all good.

That looks good, I had meatloaf...
I also almost dropped a pot of boiling water on myself today...that would not have been good.
Pizza the world's most perfect meal. :D

Meatloaf not so much. :p

No dropping boiling water on ones self is not good. (Been there and done that and it's not a pretty picture) :p

i completely agree with Willie that we do not know all The Truth as encompassed in the Lord Jesus.

and i love that Abe Lincoln quote. :)

still...Jesus doesn't merely 'personify' (in an English class kinda way) truth. He is it. :)

will surely pray for 'B'. ♥
