I wonder what God does sound like ... and if we'd hear him in our own language, or if we'd simply understand His language
apparently Gods voice is like a trumpet..


Revelation 1:10King James Version (KJV)

[SUP]10 [/SUP]I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

[video=youtube;DJwfsYxDgJ4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJwfsYxDgJ4[/video]

Quite a few good revs in this video and apparently there ment to scare bad spirits a way the shofar that is... worth giving a blast in my book..

He is a slanderer of the brethren. We know from whence
his lies originate, for Satan is the father of all lies.
Sorry I missed this.

I thought he he said he was leaving, guess just another lie, not worth responding to him and a few like him any more,

Can we please love each other with love of God? Remember hate for a brother or sister is murder.
I do not think everything new here is my brother/sister, but thanks, yes we should let ve them more, and love those not enough to tell them the truth, even if it hurts.

Yes, he has been outed as a liar multiple times; God hates liars.

You know...BY FAITH ABEL offered a better sacrifice than CAIN. Cain is identified with false teachers in JUDE.....notice the difference....

a. Abel's offering indicated FAITH and was an offering of BLOOD<----points to JESUS
b. Cain's offering was the tillage of the cursed ground and was his own works<---NO BLOOD, NO FAITH

CAIN was of that wicked one, he persecuted and killed his righteous brother ABEL

FAITH into the blood justifies before the Heavenly Father<---Romans and Galatians

I feel ya,I know a few who hate god because of less than what he went through..

We have to realise God hates it as much, no wait, MORE than we do. He did not create this, he created perfection. WE screwed it up..
Its a good job God loves screw ups. That's why Jesus died for us.

To be honest call me a screw up and I'll say yes I am.

Thats why I came to Jesus because I am and he loves me all the same.
Even while I am still screwing up I will still come to Jesus and know he still loves me as I am but he knows I want to be different.

Focus on him and him in me, rather than the focus on me to get it right before I come to him.

This may sound weird and I may get splatted but in a sense I thank Jesus that I am a screw up because it continues to lead me back to Jesus.

We're judged on our works, not on our faith, as the Apostle Paul states:
The right faith the spirit... faith of the spirit as in all things are possible unto God or our creator as i like to call him father.. This is faith to me... have belief in the unknow that doubt thomas got to see which cured his faith..

Now he was special,,,, nooo,, he was just a guy like you and i God just chose him....

Now then ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, did he then go on to do many wonderful works in the lords works,,, The son...and the fathers...and the holy spirit..(works) ?

so you have to be an elect befor your saved,,,, that means im going to hell i may as well give up my hope right now and declare myself spiritualy dead... zombie :rolleyes:
Of course you have to be elect prior to salvation. It's all over Scripture. Maybe read your Bible a lot more, you can't miss it if your eyes are open.

my brothers do not teach insecurity in self, they teach security in christ

my brothers and sisters do not teach others to learn to deny or hide sin, while judging others, they get beside you, and say with the power of God I will help you with your sin if you help me with mine (true discipleship)

my my brothers and sisters do not blame shift, and up their attack when confronted with wrongdoing, they repent, confess and ask forgiveness.

my brothers and sisters do not teach conditional life they teach etenal life

i an go an and on, I pray everyone sees the pattern.

God delights in mercy.....He takes the base, foolish things of the world to confound the wise........

Psalms 51:16-17
For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.
