I'm having a break from this place, its not a place.
Jordon, I do hope you are not gone for long if you truly are taking a break...

Grace and peace to you, brother... with sincere thanks for all your valiant efforts against the liars and deceivers.

Galatians1-3-5Romans4-25.png

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to Whom be glory forever and ever. He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification. Galatians 1 v 3-5; Romans 4 v 25
 
Show me one Christian symbol here?
Does your picture have a Christian symbol? Or, does mine?
Most Don't. . . . . . . . .
As a matter of fact, mine is Mr. Potatohead in costume. However, his body looks more like a brown egg rather than a potato!
Get over it. . .

Flesh-cannot-please-God.png

There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. Romans 3 verses 11-12; Romans 8 verses 5-8; 2 Timothy 2 verses 25-26

1Samuel16-7.png

The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16 v 7 Perverted men see things through the lens of their perversions.

Proverbs5-22-23Matthew15-19Job4-8.png

The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him. He dies for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. Those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same. Proverbs 5 v 22-23, Matthew 15 v 19, Job 4 v 8

You are missing it big time.
 
Psalm100-3Isaiah43-6b-7.png

It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth - everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made. Psalm 100 v 3, Isaiah 43 v 6b-7

We done yet?

Can we now begin to learn more of the Word of God that goes beyond the same few pet doctrines of some here that constantly get repeated over and over again?

Thank you.
 
Galatians6-14.png

Galatians 6 v 14 But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
 
Were that true (which it isn't), we all would be under law and works.
Thank you, Lord, that instead, salvation is exclusively by your mercy and grace.
Amen.

Ephesians2-8-9s.png

Ephesians 2 v 8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourself, it is a gift from God, that no on should boast.

So you couldn't forgive, and had to get one more punch in huh, you insult my username and say I should change it. Ugly indeed.
whatever, Mr whatever, 🤩

Hmmmm Sayswhat Can't handled being called Mr whatever.

Say What,

Hmm I guess you failed your test having a forgiving heart, cuz you confirmed your intentions of having me seen as unforgiving from the get go, which was your intension, and now your unforgiving heart prefers to call me ugly over a little label like mr whatever for your silly little label you put on yourself, say what

So you thought it was funny to have a name called Mr say what but somehow it's not funny when it comes to Mr whatever.

Hmmm well as the saying goes the choice is yours. But your choice means nothing to me.

I wonder Mr say what.

Hmmm say what, Mr whatever let's see your next free will choice for tit for tat 🤩
