a Brother is basically suggesting we all begin sowing SEED.
and some are down right offended by it.
makes you wonder just how many of those who reject have actually led someone to the Lord.
maybe that is why they feel like a CULT MEMBER when at CHURCH, because they are literally DEAD IN CHRIST!

if God told me today that I would be attacked by legions of demons and even though God has me protected, He wants me to pick 1 prayer Warrior to go into Battle with....that dude is most definitely, BLAIN!

I didn't include sex because not necessarily do all cults employ frivolous sexual activity. Someone like Warren Jeffs did...

Sick, sick man. Glorified pimp, really. Convinced his "flock" he was the reincarnation of his father, since they had previously
believed that man was immortal and so were in shock and confused when he did. Thank God WJ is in jail where he belongs.

in God, they're all fruitful, just the ground is not. so the ground must be tilled like i just did. it's simple basics with God. we can never go wrong following His Principles.

@Blain would do well to stop posting of himself . Many of his seeds are of self pity, seeds of woe , branches of what he has done...

here's an abused soul and generally alone. so all dependency is being placed upon the Lord. and that is truly specifically where God wants all of us, to the point we only Count on Him for everything from what car to buy to obeying His Will to being taught by the Holy Spirit the meaning of Scripture, etc.

i see, and i have no real clue who Blain is, so i want that to be established first and foremost.

I see, someone, who all their life have been put on a shelf, was mostly a second thought, and truthfully seems like people around him and his medical needs are a burden. so, he's been a literal Punching Bag.

i see, a man, who has finally got the courage to do God's Will.
but in doing so, has no real confidence because he was never encouraged before by those around him.
so it is I I I I I I I I I because he thinks it's the only way YOU will believe him.


but remove the I's and Me from his Statements, now show me, where is he actually wrong in what he presents in meaning of Scripture?

by circumstance, not like many on this Thread, because they are actual Narcissist's!

Do you know anyone who does not have circumstances? Should not trusting in the Lord bring us above those circumstances? When you see a brother who is hurting himself it is wise to enable him?

if you don't know the difference i am not able to help you.
the fact you have an attack for what he is because you oppose him is very revealing to me.
you aint what i once thought you were.

you aren't even opposing him based on Scripture.
you judged him off his insecurities and took advantage of him.

Don't I know it....

I wish more of the Golden Husky seeds had sprouted....they are my favorite tomato. Instead I got a bunch of others that I am "meh" about.

But I do have a bumper crop of Basil, Thyme, parsley, and sage.

I have responded to what he says. It is a shame you refuse to see that.

i do see it. but i also see what he was trying to convey. grant it, it's a rough attempt, but that is what he knows how to do. and if we overlook his ability to communicate and concentrate on the Biblical principle he is sharing, HE IS 10000000000% CORRECT!
