Horseman: Praise the Lord! Halleluyah - AMEN

Radiant Aunt: Sorry radiant, I answered this privately, but for those on the board there were no casualties. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I arise today through
God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to see before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to secure me-
against snares of devils,
against temtations and vices,
against inclinations of nature,
against everyone who shall wish me ill, afar and anear,
alone and in a crowd...
Christ, be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me
Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit,
Christ where I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Lord,
Salvation is of the Christ.
May your salvation, O Lord, be ever with us.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.

Carl Jung

Ephesians 5 (New International Version)
8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."

Radiant Aunt: You over extend yourself like I do.. You need to just say NO to others.. just for a day at least.. to get in some serious sleep.. Your body needs to recharge.. if not.. you will be in worse shape..

ScarletRose: I try to.. just too much to do and so far I have no fever yet.. so I can just go to work.. and i can just go on with all these silllion activities.. As long as I walk in my pattern of activities I m fine.. as soon as I can rest, Iam so tired..... :-(

Radiant Aunt: you are in mine dear.. be kind to yourself.. :)

Hello everyone!

I am so very tired. I could use some prayers. When I went to Nigeria, I had to take anti-Malaria tablets. The side affects are now that I am this tired. I didn't knew nor realised that it would be like this. I do go to work and all my activities at night in church as well. Today was a very diffecult day, for some reason. I think im not getting enough sleep. Please keep me in your prayers. Many thanks and much love in Christ Jesus,

Radiant

Horseman: were there any casualties?

Horseman: Is that happening right now?

"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

Matthew 27:46
About the 9th hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"-which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

interesting the parallel between Psalm 22 and the final words of Jesus.
Like elisha feeding the masses, and jesus feeding the masses....
or jonah in the whale...jesus died...three days and three nights...

not really for discussion, just wanted to note something to think about.

"Oh God...Please don't let me die today! Tomorrow would be so much better!"

- traditional Spathi prayer

I think a 'bible study' board would focus too much on one (group of) religion(s). I like the idea of more interaction on this board - with a non-judgemental comparison of different religious and non-religious texts and sayings etc.
Just a Thought.

Psalm 27:1-2

The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

More Love (more Love)
More Power (more Power)
More of You in my life
More Love (more Love)
More Power (more Power)
More of You in my life

And I will worship You
with all of my heart
And I will worship You
with all my mind
And I will worship You
with all my strength
You are my LORD!
You are my LORD!

More Love (more Love)
More Power (more Power)
More of You in my life
More Love (more Love)
More Power (more Power)
More of You in my life

And I will worship You
with all of my heart
And I will worship You
with all my mind
And I will worship You
with all my strength
You are my LORD!
You are my LORD!

Horseman: Thank you :-)

Radiant Aunt: may the lord be with you both

Tuesday & Horseman: Thank you, I will pray and He will direct my steps!

Proverbs 3:5&6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Thank you for a peaceful time of sharing and fellowship. May the Lord bless you both abundantly. In His Son's precious Name - AMEN

Radiant

Tuesday: I usually do that

Radiant Aunt: maybe ask fencer...?

Radiant Aunt: ohh....ooops...
Tuesday: sorry maybe I wasn't wrong...:S

What we have been sharing about here in the past hour can be described as a Bible Study. It would be neat if we could add to this board a place for Bible Study. But I first have to discuss this with whatdidyousay

Horseman: The only other board where we can discuss religion is in the Debate Club, which is a FS.

Tuesday: LOL - thats a second interesting discussion.. I was still thinking and reading about the beast, written about in revelation 13.

Tuesday: ooohhh...i SEE...there's already a religious debate board...oops..my error:S

Tuesday: I am thinking of a way to post it somewhere, where Horseman can read it too, since he is a pawn.

Tuesday: *chuckle* most religion boards turn to bickering, unfortuately
litle spiritual sharing involved....pms are the best route

Horseman: I actually like the discussion, Horseman :-) No need to be sorry! :-)

Radiant Aunt: you are right radiant...sorry about that:)I reckon we got carried away;)

Tuesday: It will be someone whom the world would worship...lots of charisma...but I'd imagine him to be both convincing to some of his enemies...but of terrifying worldly power through those who follow him for his enemies

Tuesday: Indeed, indeed, you are so right! In my Bible I have alot of study material about this subject. I just wonder, if you want to hear all that? I can sent it to you in a PM (don't think this board is a place to discuss further on it though..)

Horseman: Yes, I remember Ezekiel writing about the wheel, with its eyes everywhere.. A student in my class made a painting of that, when I was teaching in the Art Ministry back in the US in 2004... I was very impressed with her Biblical knowledge, for a girl of 6 years old! :-)

Tuesday: Revelation 13 writes about the beast from the sea and the beast from the earth. And the explanations around it telling me, that its not someone very subtle and non-threatening.

666 refers to the beast of the Earth, which refered to as the False Prophet and that He serves as the Antichrist's mouthpiece.

In Rev. 13:16 we are advised, to not adopt the word's way of thinking or its standards of behaviour.

Tuesday: the people of the world will worship the beast and he will give power...
I do not think it will be a "peaceful ruler" ...but it is possible

Radiant Aunt: chapter 13 is one of the most detailed versions of the beast rise to power and rule, don't forget however that a lot of symbolism in revelations also reflects eziekial...and jeremiah
