THINKING SOMEONE LIKES YOU WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DON'T

[tourist]

Is that the same as when someone says "I love you but am not in love with you" Brother Mike? I have never really understood what people mean by that.

Perhaps they have a deep sense of appreciation for the person that they are. I don't think that its a good idea however to actually say that in those exact words.

 

[17Bees]

Yes thankyou 17Bees. Fortunately I do not live out that way but know others who do.
Yes this year has been a crazy year to say the least. Hopefully next year will improve
I suspect though that the wild weather may continue

Ruby, I think about the times 2 thousand years past of the dark turmoil of an insignificant corner of the Roman Empire ruled by a the tyrant Herod who usurped his own father's rule by poisoning him and stacked up murdered Sadducees like cordwood during his rule. He executed the magi who learned of a new child dubbed "King of the Jews", then ordered all male children under 2 years old killed out of fear of his own throne. The Massacre of the Innocents.

How is it that a child hailed of a minority in a global empire who was a seeming bastard of foreign and even wicked blood, his mother's betrothed Joseph not' even he child's father, how could this child be the Wonderful. The Counsellor. The Mighty God. The Everlasting Life!

The Magi knew to follow that strange light in the sky in such dark times to find the One, the Hope, the Redeemer. That strange alignment of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn was their Guiding Light! The Star of Bethlehem. And on December 21 of this year I pray you and I can find hope in our own Guiding Light. Jupiter and Saturn align closer to earth than a long long time before and I pray it promises Hope and Renewal, a drying out, and a stable land.

Lovely post Mr 17Bees, except the magi got away from the wicked Herod

And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.
Matthew 2:12

Amen, I will agree with that 17Bees.

There is a fantastic video on the lining of the stars. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will post it later when I get home. It is worth the watch.

I recently got into it with someone regarding Christianity vs Astrology who said that it's OK because the Wise men were Astrologers. Oh Bruddah!

Gandy actually posted this awhile back on another thread and I found it very interesting.

Um could you rewrite the plackard in layman's terms. I think I may have signed this contract by mistake. I am not sure I like some of these terms. Are you saying once you find your bride I cannot operate anymore? What will happen to my company??

Cute new pic by the way, is that Kitty?

well you got the basic drift of what it was about...plus that was the watered down version....so you have been spared.
Yes that's right..however you would he able to trade as a dating agency but at a different location entirely and with a new business licence..(really her dads made me have to do this...he erm...paid me a visit a few days ago)👓🕶🕶
The tyre company would still trade yet there could be complications if miss whiskers still objects to me continuing to change tyres even though it would be a different way of working..🙄
who wants a cat fight around the dinner table..😊😊

 

[Ruby123]

lol, can I keep the van as I kind of decked it out to suit my matchmaking business. You can have the spanners and all the other equipment. Of course I will change the signage on the van and rename the business. I will also need to hire new staff.

But what things would you need for the matchmaking business that could fill an entire van??...posters and leaflets I get...a laptop...microwave,toaster perhaps,a chair...erm....kettle,fridge and tea/coffee/sugar.

Lol..you remember about the spanners I gave you the job of looking after...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Now here's the irony....what will u do if a tyre needs changing??🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

 

[Ruby123]

Well now that you have Kitty, there is no sense in letting the van go to waste so I thought I could deck it out like this.

Of course it would have an oven for me to continue baking for the clients. Then I will travel the world matchmaking people together. The baking cakes will draw the crowds in. Of course I will hire staff as the business grows.

Magi were studied celestial observers and expert interpreters of the heavenly signs involving the sun, moon, planets and stars.

Matthew 2:2 "We have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship Him."

What was "His star in the east"? Mark, Luke, and John are entirely silent about this.

Over the years there have been four main theories:

1. Halley's Comet: Unfortunately, the nearest appearance was in
11 B.C., which is simply too early for the birth of Christ.

2. Supernova: This is an exploding star that suddenly fills the sky with light in a brilliant,
blinding flash of light. These are unpredictable and very rare, and there is no record in any
astronomical records of a supernova in the years surrounding the birth of Christ.

3. Conjunction of Planets: This is probably the most popular theory. One version suggests
that in 7 B.C. Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn came together in a very rare conjunction that only
occurs once every 125 years. Another possibility is a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in
2 B.C. (This last possibility is the one suggested by the "Star of Wonder" presentation at
the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.) The conjunction theory has this to favor it: It would
explain why the Magi saw it and the people of Israel didn't. Conjunctions don't attract
the attention of people who don't normally watch the skies. They aren't highly-visible
phenomena like comets or supernovas or meteor showers. But to anyone who watched
the stars regularly, a "triangular" conjunction like the one in 7 B.C. would certainly
attract extraordinary attention.

4. A Supernatural Light: This theory suggests that the "star" was not a natural phenomena
at all, but rather was a light placed by God in the atmosphere especially for the Magi to see.
Those who hold this view (which I myself lean to) point to the shekinah glory of God in the
Old Testament. At certain points in history God revealed himself as a bright light in order
to guide his people. In this context, we might think of the pillar of fire with which God
led Israel in the wilderness. source

None of which suggests it is okay for Christians to practice astrology

 

[BrotherMike]

That might be true as long as it is not romantic love. You might love a co-worker for the person that they are but not in a romantic physical sense.

Yes, exactly what I meant.
