The Ladies Forum... supposedly only able to be viewed by women, but any unscrupulous man could create an account under the guise of a woman, and read to his wicked heart's content.

Good stuff sister...

Did you also know that Roman Soldiers rubbed Oil on their shields to keep them from cracking and breaking......they would also soak them in water for hours before taking a fortified objective....so that when flaming darts hit them , they would be extinguished on impact.....So to does the Holy Spirit keep our faith from breaking and our faith strong agaisnt the fiery darts of the enemy...
you know it seems to me I have heard that before but filed it somewhere in the dusty file section of my cerebral library

but yes...when you start learning about it and see it all through scripture, it makes an impact on your understanding

I guess most of us know the armor is patterned after the Roman attire

or not LOL!

Believing is not a work of the law.
It's important that you get the argument straight.

Paul never said the 'work' of believing was a work that could not justify. In fact, he said it is the only thing that can, but now we have the church insisting that believing is a work of self righteousness. The 'work' of believing is CONTRASTED with works of the law, not equated with them as so many are doing in this thread.
of course it isn't!

I guess faith is work too if it leads to righteousness...

this is just getting silly, isn't it?

Maybe you could feed it to the gators?

I saw a skunk by the roadside recently coming home late one weekend night...

That's about as dangerous as it gets around here :D

Unless you are a small animal. Then the coyotes might get you...

There are of course black and grizzly bears nearby,
but not very close if you are in the city proper.

They can be problematic in smaller communities :(

As can the bigger, feral cats...

EG, asked this question:
who here believes that once a christian is saved, they are at the finish line?
======================================================

we see that not many have answered, but we know that many here believe in this...
'they believe that they are DONE doing anything, 'shoe-in' and at NO CHARGE' -
but only believe that they have been given a 'free-ticket' to all the BALL-GAMES'...
front/or/best-seat...

go ahead ya'll, and just wait and see IF you can see where, who, you are, or even close,
then, if...

root yourselves out, brothers and sisters and READ what our Saviour has to say about all
of this...

Our Worship - Our WALK - our RACE - our DUTY, our GOAL/REASON -
all leading-onward towards our NEW-BEGINNING...our REBIRTH/MESHING,
realized in God's Holy Spirit...

This is true, but only when they get older....best not to have a house with lots of stairs, etc....
