Genesis 4:7 - If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. Awesome video.5*****
Would you be interested in doing a video on what you believe happens to a believe if they commit suicide? I had a friend recently do it and I would love to hear your beliefs on where Christians go when they die by their own hand.
So in other words, if Satan has selected us to undergo difficulties - and God gives the okay - we better learn something from the experience or else it was all in vain?
Pretty much...however one thing I failed to mention: sometimes bad things happen because they happen. We are not being tested, sifted or persecuted...it's just life. In my own life I have been in 3 major life threatening wrecks...only 1 of which do I consider to have been an attack. The other two were just life. If all bad things were attacks, then they wouldn't happen to non-believers because why would Satan attack those that already belong to himself?
I agree. Before i became a Christian my daughter got sick. I was in a church at the time and they told me it was God's warning. I became a Christian and she was still sick. She got better though even though she still suffers from this sickness. I dont think it is special. Life is Life. God bless you and i am sorry to hear you were in an accident.
Hey VioletKitty, I have a question that no one has ever been able to answer, but maybe you can help... how do you know when you are under a curse, as opposed to just being tested?
I cannot claim to be an expert in that HOWEVER....be aware that when we are being hounded by Satan, it is only because God has granted him permission to do so. We see evidence of this not only in the book of Job but in Luke 22:31 where Christ tells Peter that Satan has asked to sift him and Christ gave the okay. If we are being sifted we better learn something from the experience...
Sister, I am reminded of the so called message so often spoke whereby we are to sew seed in order to receive blessing. This is not freely giving, where I come from its called investment, (expectation of return comes under covetousness does it not?). To receive Gods blessing we must obey, to obey is to love, and love covers a multitude of sins....
Speak it girl! I am taken back to recent times when it was suggested to me that I took too legalistic an approach to the word, too literal, too logical... Well the more I get into the word, the more literal I take it, it says what it means, and means what it says, and as for logic? I confess to find my God to be very logical. A child cannot expect a positive response when on an earthly fathers knee asking to visit the zoo after spending the morning scrawling on the walls, yes that father will
continue to love the child, but reward it? I dont think so... We are not saved by our works, but in our works is our salvation manifest. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. James 2:18.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much... James 5:16b
And not wishing to thrash the whole James theme. But... But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered Issac his son upon the alter? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. See ye then how that by works a man is ...
... justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2: 20-26.
But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were commited, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For once you presented your members as as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. When you were slaves of sin, you were free in
regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed?
The end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6: 17-23.
Awesome word VK- I did a video awhile back on this that i sent you as a video response if you want to post it- either way- may you be richly blessed- Agape from Canada Kitty- Rebecca
I don't want your "blessing," and I certainly don't want your "protection." Thank you very much!
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, God, I just don't think that we're right for each other. And since you are a straight up guy who honors solemn agreements, I know that you will remember that You and I have never made any such agreement.
So, thanks, but no, thanks, God. Have everlasting fun and please forget me and my contact info.
One huge AMEN sister! Like it or not, the Bible teaches that obedience is necessary, not for salvation (we have the Blood of Christ to atone for our sin, our good works will never do that), but for walking by the Spirit and crucifying our sinful nature, living a life that honors and pleases the Lord. (See Colossians 3, Galatians 2:20, etc.)
I am not sure you can say God doesn't bless the unrighteous, They obviously receive earthly blessings. I mean look at even at some despicable people -- they too receive the rain (Matt 5:45). It is though ends up being a millstone to their neck. While they end in the end reap what they evil they sow, they do receive blessings, so they can't claim unjustice from him. How short their joy though since they do not know the author of their blessings.
The rain and the sun falls on all man...but God does not pour blessings on the unrighteous, however, it is possible that Satan can bless those that are unrighteous, and typically with the things of this world.
I am not sure you can give Satan as the author for anything good in people's life. Satan is author of simply evil or the perversion of the good. The unrighteous being married, or having children, air they breathe, or even monetarily, which while of this world is still a blessing or resource of God, that they are called to account for in judgment how they used his blessings. That does not mean he does not bless believers more for those that ask. Malachi says that.
Its sad to know that we live in a world which is more interested in the latest music video,than about their own creator.Society has been made into something that has pushed God to the side ,in the hope that no one will find him,all the devils work.isnt it said that in the end times their will be more unbeleivers than beleivers.Peoples disobedience comes from lack of knowlege,ask someone one the street what the commandments are, i carnt tell you all of them,but at least im putting that right .:)
Jabez himself wasn't sinless or perfect because we all are sinners BUT when he failed he sought to make it right through honor and righteousness. Blessings, Nigel :-)
Even expert dog trainers have no use for blind, slavish, violent control/obedience from the dogs they train. (The dogs learn much faster with kindness. ) I've never treated any dog I've had that horribly.
And if we hear on the news that children are being abused in the 'holy' ways that the Bible prescribes, it would probably be a story about some religious nut polygamist cult being swarmed by helicopters and surrounded by the cops. LMAO.
But seriously, VK, much love, and much luck to you !
OoooOOOooo...that's a good one...i had so many great scriptures, I could have made this a full hour if I did an exhaustive study...but locking the cat up long enough to make that video would be mean...

Are God's ways truly good and holy by objective criteria?
Or are God's primitive habits and violent ways described as good and holy because they are God's?
