Subject: Re: God's benefit package Author: Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:54:30 09/29/10 Wed In reply to: Tim 's message, "God's benefit package" on 10:41:56 09/20/10 Mon Shane is probably correct in stopping this waste of typing. Tim is not going to alter his views without a 2X4 upside the head. I am not really sure why I attempt to reason with the boy. I guess it just rubs me the wrong way when he insists his view is the only one the offers a full and meaningful life. This is just not true. You don't need the bible to live fully and enjoy your self. Life without the bible is in no way lesser then one that carries it around constantly. There is really nothing left to say about it.

[> Subject: Re: God's benefit package Author: tim [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:23:34 12/13/10 Mon These are some famous last words from one of my biggest contributors here at the Tim O'Rourke Forum. My dear friend, if there was really nothing left for you to say it would certainly be a one-sided conversation here. We may have opposing viewpoints, but I appreciate your willingness to post yours for all to see. As for the comment here that Tim is not going to alter his view, I have to say in response that my whole pursuit in life is to learn everything I can, or another way of putting it may be to unlearn everything. I want to have a teachable spirit and to remain open to what God is saying at all times. He is constantly at work trying to get a message through that will benefit me and all who seek Him. Maintaining a thought pattern or a way of thinking that does not allow the spirit to move me to new heigths of appreciation for what I have been given is to live on the lowest plane; fleshly, seeking only things that give me pleasure or comfort. I've tried this way of life and have found something better! For all of you who visit here and are watching the banter and perhaps some who stumble in off the world wide web, there is more to the picture than meets the eye. There is more to life and the pursuit of happiness than self gratification. Life is very short and the Bible says that all who seek the Truth shall find it and all who ask for wisdom will be given it. As another year comes to a close here, I challenge all who visit to consider what the Bible offers. From Genesis to Revelation there are 66 books in all with One common thread that has comforted and encouraged millions down through the ages with a benefit package beyond comparison with anything the world has to offer. It is a choice, a decision that every man, woman and child is confronted with every day. It is not too mysterious, or hidden as the writer of Deuteronomy says in chapter 30 verse 11, But vs 14 says, the word is very near you in your mouth and in your heart that you may do it? I am challenged today to do the word. To live on a higher plane. To remain steadfast and secure in what I have believed and to reach out and share it with others in love. May all who enter here be blessed in Jesus' name. amen. T.O. 12/13/2010 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
