You are so sweet, here are some more flowers and blessings from God's Word for you :)
 
PS.115:17. - The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

ECC.9:5. - For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing,
neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

ISA.8:19. - And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits,
and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God?
for the living to the dead?

REV.20:12. - And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:
and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were judged
out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

1THESS. 4:14.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with Him.
15.
For this we say unto you by The Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
 
well i meant to say, agreement in prayer with a priest and/ or church elder. I think what I have said has been misconstrued tho lol. Of course one can have a relationship with God since being knit by God in a mother's womb, but saved later when one is old enough to make decisions for oneself. God bless you dear phil.
You'll forgive me for doubting you, but will you please give me scripture where it says that? Altho I've read the bible some, I don't remember that particular passage.
And you didn't tell me if that is your picture in your avatar.
 
Psalm 139:13 ' 2Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. 13For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. 14I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.…Cross References
Job 10:11
clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?

Psalm 119:73
Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

Ecclesiastes 11:5
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

Isaiah 44:24

"This is what the LORD says-- your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself,

lambinfield,

our Father is our Creator/Designer , He has known and knows every single creature, critter ever created -
the stars, the sands of the seas, it even says that He knows every star by name and
the number of hairs upon our heads, this has nothing to do with our Salvation, =
we are clearly called-elected-chosen, and we may accept or decline...

we are pre-destined according to His calling, but it is still our CHOICE, no other human-being
can make this choice for us...
 
i agree, salvation is our personal decision, and noone can make that choice for us, but everyone has a relationship with God at first, as He knit us in our mother's womb.

Like Oldethenew stated, we were made by God who has no beginning or end, he knew us before we were here. We couldn't know him because we were not made yet. God isn't bound by time like we are here on earth so he knows the beginning and the end before the earth was even here. So he was able to know every person and creature before they knew him. It's confusing but it's God and we will never fully understand his power.
 
awwww dear Magenta, bless you for this......and that your beauty to God is but a rose and your radience shines through and magnifies the good LORD. May you ride your unicorn into His kingdom and gallop together, with Jesus on His white horse lol

I would never consult a psychic medium to communicate with the dead, as this is a great forbidden sin, but can the loved one communicate with us.

Communicating with the dead is called necromancy, as in Deuteronomy 18:10-11
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

While one could infer that a person could actually talk to dead since it is written in the Bible yet if they could speak then obviously they wouldn't be dead, would they?. LOL

==========================================


He knits, He creates, and we must remember that He says, 'and God said, 'let there be Light and there
was Light, and

Genesis 1:3; "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." was referring unto the Sun.

Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?
[*]
If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
John 11:9

[*] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:4

But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
John 11:10

And God called the light Day, and the darkness Night. Genesis 1:5
 
Well, you wouldn't think a donkey could talk either, but yet he did, didn't he? 'Nuff said. ;)
