Subject: Re: Happy Thanksgiving Author: Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:53:38 12/07/10 Tue In reply to: webchuck 's message, "Happy Thanksgiving" on 13:37:31 11/22/07 Thu Up is a relative term. Once you are free of earth there is no up. I was at Higher Ground Friday night but I live in a house which is on even Higher Ground. Your Higher Ground is really only higher in your view. IT doesn't apply to anyone but you. Calling it higher is not accurate because its different but not higher then anything. The "Higher" descriptor is prejudicial. Your view is different, your way is different, its not better. I can just as easily say my view is better, more valuable, more meaningful but I don't. I just say its as valid or just as defensible. You mostly miss my point. Believe what ever you want but stop looking down on folks who decide to figure out things with all the knowledge gained instead of using a 2000 year old text to guide your activities.

[> Subject: Re: Happy Thanksgiving Author: Tim [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:23:44 12/09/10 Thu look at what you are saying, my brother...you are saying that the way I am going is not better than the way that you are going. At the same time you are saying that the way you are going is not better than the way I am going. One of us is confused! I am saying that there IS a better way and I am going that way; and yes, going that way makes me a better person. If I am wrong about this better way then you have lost nothing. But, if you are wrong and I am right you have lost everything! That is what the wise king was saying when he wrote the proverb quoted above; there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. I am saying that if you choose the way that leads to life you will find the way to higher ground that every man, woman and child is in search of; it's the place that every soul is looking for. The place that even John Lennon wrote about. The place is LOVE. It is in that higher place where we can live free from fear; free from bondage and free from sin's chokehold, but there is a requirement at the door. we must give up something to gain entry. We must surrender our life and exchange it for another. We enter through a narrow gate. The gate is JESUS! We take on His life and His sacrifice for sin in exchange for our own. There is no other way! Happy Thanksgiving! T.O. 12/8/10 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
