Subject: Re: Freedom Author: tim [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:05:06 08/27/09 Thu In reply to: tim 's message, "Freedom" on 23:09:06 04/29/09 Wed It has all been said on this thread. You are absolutely right my biker friend, about being free to accept or reject the gospel message. You are free to follow your path wherever it leads you. keep ridin' them trails and you too can find the answer... As for teaching people. Teachers are for people who are teachable, not for people who reject the message. Ultimately, the Bible says that we who believe need no one to teach us, because the Holy Spirit IS our teacher. The Holy Spirit knows all things and He lives in me! All I have to do is learn to listen and agree with Him. He knows when to buy and when to sell; when to stay and when to go. He leads me and guides me, but I have to be willing to follow and then attentive to His Way and His Way is the Way of Love. It's not complicated. It is simple enough for a child to understand. To follow the Spirit means to walk in Love. When love rules, faith reigns. When it falters, fear enters in and faith can't work. This is why the Bible says 'there is no fear in love' and 'perfect love casts out all fear.' The simplicity of the Gospel is this. God is love! Receive the gift of Love that God gave through His Son and you will live forever! No strings! No red tape! 'whoever does not receive, as a little child cannot enter the kingdom of God.' The kingdom of God is the kingdom of love. When does it start? It starts Today because 'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT seen." It is an unseen kingdom, but when faith turns to sight it will BE HERE and it will be SOON. love, ya'll T.O. 8/27/09 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Freedom Author: Biker bob [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:27:59 08/29/09 Sat Tim there is no answer to find. Its all about the journey. There you go again "Whoever does not receive as a little child cannot enter the kingdom of God" In short if you don't think like me you are less then me and so sets the stage for all kinds of pain and discomfort. "When Faith turns to sight it will be here and it will be soon" Is this some kind of scare tactic? You better watch out the big guy is coming down here and only my club will not be cast into a flaming hole? Good people can exist without the "Red Tape" Tim. Useful lives can be lived without all your waking thoughts being spent figuring out meaning in bible text. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
