you are actually 'chosen-called-elected to be the servant of Jesus Christ, a part of
HIS REAL FAMILY.
you quickly learn who is The REAL BOSS, He is The KING, and we are His willing, dedicated subjects...
and,
the alternative is?

We dont need to stand up for ourselves. We have Almighty God to do that for us. It is something that seperates us from other religions.
I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread or why it's in the Corruption/Conspiracy forum.
More so...He wants "us" to stand up for HIM, in "this" world.
Thats how we prove ourselves ^^
True ^^.
Tho...in this case... who is the "astray sheep"? ... the hidden candle? (those who hide their "light"?) ...or those in darkness? ^^
Nah not banned....It just reminded me about the parable of the salt thats all ^^
Matthew 5:13-16
[FONT="]13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.[/FONT]
[FONT="]14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.[/FONT]
That was what I remembered by what I shared... sorry if I confused you with the ban comment.. not relevant to that..
Haha ....all good. Geez it took me "this" long to figure out what u meant by "banned".
..Then i Finally scrolled right up to the top ^^"...sorry...my bad ^^""
There is going to come a time when being a christianis going to mean being an outcast and eventually lead to be beheaded just now there is still light to work but it is getting darker by the day.
Jesus set the example for us to suffer grief wrongfully.
1 Peter 2:[SUP]19 [/SUP]For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.[SUP] 20 [/SUP]For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.[SUP] 21 [/SUP]For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:[SUP] 22 [/SUP]Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:[SUP]23 [/SUP]Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:[SUP]24 [/SUP]Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.[SUP]25 [/SUP]For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
When the enemy cuts you off with the ability to sow discord among those wherever you meet, tempting and provoking others to do mischief and spite and defraudment.....thereby tempting you to go postal or commit suicide.... that is when Jesus in you shall shine the most when He helps you to forgive them for they know not what they do, especially when they are not sorry and it looks like they will never stop.... just adding to the temptation to go postal or commit suicide.
