I had a friend just return home!
He had heard the Gospel growing up and used to be in the Church but backslid into the world. He hit rockbottom to the point where he said "Ive been working for the devil too long!" and had to turn a NEW LEAF.
Some folks have to reach that point. All sin is negative so my advice to all the non-registered members reading this if you aint saved GET SAVED now. You never know when you draw your last breath!

Look dude.. I was off to a good start but I left my salvation at the grocery store alright. I went back to look for it but I cant find it I must of misplaced it somewhere.
But its aiight tho, I aint scared. I dont care what hebrews 6:4-6 got to say, i'll get it back by just repenting of all my sins again. stopping ALL sin you know. And I mean ALL, not a single slip up. (I also dont care what John got to say about if we say we have no sin. WE ALL KNOW thats been mistranslated and it really means: If we say we have NOT SINNED)

I did not add anything, to the meaning.
That is exactly what LORD MEANS.
John 14:15 If You LOVE ME, [Loving HIM is Born Again, so it is how we LOVE HIM, with LOVING SUBMISSION.]
you WILL keep My commands.
It is the change in your HUMAN SPIRIT who has been birthed into eternal life, that causes YOU TO MAKE THAT CHANGE IN ATTITUDE.
And NO ONE CAN SAY as a CONFESSION, "JESUS IS MY LORD", except by power of the Holy SPIRIT - 1 Cor. 12:3.
It seems you want to subtract something from the true meaning ? ? ?
John 14:23 (HCSB)
23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
Bible Words Translated to LORD, actually mean:
Heb. ʾadon, means one possessed of absolute control. It denotes a master
Illustrated Bible Dictionary: And Treasury of Biblical History, Biography, Geography, Doctrine, and Literature.
Greek kurios, a supreme master, etc.

i had something very interesting happen to me today. i was outside in a t-shirt and its quite cold already and it started raining water and hail mixture i said God please change the weather so i dont get a cold.
God didnt change the weather but i walked like over a kilometer didnt even run like i normally do if it rains and i arrived dry. even my hair was completely dry. my family member who waited for me came to the door as well expecting me to be soaking wet she had seen the rain but was surprised that i was dry even tried my hair and shirt 100% dry even my jeans were dry.
call me what you want but its a miracle to me. thats never happened to me before.

I was in Arkansas one particular brutal summer when the temps were like 104 F for like a few weeks with like 100% humidity....very brutal....anyway, there was no rain predicted for weeks and I was outside sweating like Niagara Falls doing yard work and I prayed....Lord, can you please let some rain come thru and cool it off a bit....within 1 hour a massive storm formed, it poured rain, temps dropped 30 degrees F and for three days straight there was an almost constant drizzle, cool breeze and temps in the low 70's.............
I have had so many requests answered like that that I have lost count......

My sister and her partner had to cut down a really large tree in their backyard as it contained white ants. They were unable to cut it down themselves as the tree was just too large (it required a cherry picker) and they didn't know which way it would fall. They enquired about the cost and it was estimated about $1200.00 It was just too much for them to afford. Alot of the cost was due to the cherry picker (they lived half an hour out of town). My sister got to praying Lord please help us with cutting down this tree. We can't afford it. She barely finished her prayer when she heard the sound of a chain saw. She looked out the window and to her amazement the people across the road had called the tree loper to cut down one of their trees which just happened to require a cherry picker.
They were able to ask the guy to cut down their tree and because the other couple had paid for the cherry picker and it was already there the only had to pay $350.00

Then something weird happened. After she told me that story on the phone. The next day or the day after I can't remember I was driving home and pulled in the driveway. It is a very long drive way as I live at the back. Along the side of the drive way there is about six mango trees. As I pulled in the drive way I looked at the mango trees and in the middle of them was a ladder with a man wearing a yellow HiVis top attending to the trees. I thought who on earth is that and what is he doing. I stopped my car, got out and walked over only to find no man, no ladder nothing. I don't really know whether it was a vision or what?

I'm not sure if white ants and fire ants are the same thing. White ants eat wood and can demolish your house very quickly if you don't get rid of them quickly. Anyway sorry everyone I just interrupted this thread and changed the subject on whatever you all were talking about.
