Specifics about what kinds of acts His adopted children that He is pleased with?
Click to expand...

God always loves the sacrifice of praise. Praise Him all day long when you see good in the world. Praise Him when you see evil, knowing He will one day purge His universe of it. That and the little things I do because I think they please Him, are about the only things we can offer Him. He takes care of the big things. Learn of Christ's mind, for His love/give ways will get us looking differently at everything. :cool:

Starting at Genesis 1:1 to Rev. 22:21, I believe God reveals enough about Himself and His relationship to man that we can enter into a relationship on His terms. To the degree that we trust that He desires the best for each of us, and that human logic is no substitute for faith, in Him, we can have a peace that passes understanding, all provided for us by Him.

When we hear and accept the terms (gospel) for that relationship we are then adopted and treated as children, that have much to learn. He often uses suffering to refine our thinking. Many become confused by the suffering but trust can turn suffering to blessings. We are humbled, we trust, we grow, we share the love of God, which is the basis for it all.

As Jesus answered a group in Scripture who wanted to know what they could “do” to do the will of God, He replied, “Believe on the one He sent.” Our thinking determines our actions and those motives merit blessings, or lack thereof. Paul said to habitually put on the mind of Christ, (Scripture) so how do we please God that He May love us? Believe that He is who He says He is, and bathe daily in His word.

That is not all. What about Ephesians 2:10 and the advice in the Sermon on the Mount and the Epistles?

I want to do more of that, but currently I am so concerned about the USA political civil war that I listen to Conservative radio way too much to keep informed so that I can do intercessory praying and "Watchman on the Wall" ministering. Please pray that I will either just start listening to praise music a lot more (not just on the weekends) or/and be blessed with a spiritual female best best friend to do such with.

Not sure we can cause God to love us more knowing the fact that we cannot increase upon the love he demonstrated for us while we were yet sinners, Romans 5:8. Therefore I see your premise as flawed.

I didn't say that nor did I indicate such. Why are you so anti against me and others? What does Matthew 18:15 say? If you did such, you would discover that we most likely agree on most of Christian doctrines. Stop wrongly assuming and wrongly speculating. Whenever I meet someone or attend church, I look for the good. The bad will manifest on its own. And I know that most people and most churches are far from even being 90% right according to God. What is the Christian unity we should be having? The cults and Islam has much much more unity than Christians do. Face reality and find reasons to like what is being posted in this site. And only post corrections or constructive criticism when the Holy Spirit urges. Otherwise start private conversations or at least pray for those who offend you. God bless you and your family in this special season even though Jesus Christ was not born on December 25. I will be 72-years-old on December 20th.

***But December 25th was not the day of Jesus' birth.
I do a lot of intercessory praying for others to get saved during December after they realize enough of the Gospel truths.
And the main parts of the Gospel are mentioned during December more than any of the other months.
Remember there is a verse that says that God uses "the foolishness of preaching"?
And most pastors preach the easy believism God's Grace Only doctrines.
Repentance to righteousness must be taught too.
The best way is adult Bible study discussion groups.
I pray for good responses to the special Christmas programs,
even the ones charging very high prices for tickets (like the First Baptist Church in Ft. Lauderdale).
I also pray for me and other true Christians being given divine appointments
to spiritually encourage sad and depressed individuals during December, even via the Internet.
But we must also inform the things of the Christmas season which are from
the pagan religions
and just bad traditions (mostly from Europe)
which encourage selfishness, waste, and even vanity eros sex (even up through New Year's Eve).

Again you are completely wrong!! I never had done such thinking in 72 years. It has been done against me many times. I have just gone for being more and more Christ-like no matter what others are doing.

Belief, faith, trust in the finished work of Christ is the basis for salvation and all acceptable actions done thereafter, in my humble opinion.

Guess what are actions done by true Christians are loved by God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Php 2:1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
Php 2:2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Php 2:4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

What God really loves is this:

Luke 15:7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance .

I think this verse is enough to answer this question :)

Even though I think you are a totally off the wall nut case I'd have to agree with quoting Luke.

But then, even a broke clock is right twice a day.
 
I have shared the severe warnings with many about adding or subtracting from God's Word. But most sermons and Bible study books add and many "sinner's prayer"s of easy believism and Grace only preachers subtract from the truths in Romans 3-10. We should be focusing on learning more and more the facts in the Bible so we can know what is true and false in the news, in sermons, in radio and TV programs, and in the Internet, and in other books.

What is God-pleasing in the relating to brothers and sisters in Christ? It is indicated in the following:
Php 2:1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
Php 2:2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

I am only promoting God's Word appropriate to the discussion. I is logically formatted to encourage reasoning and retaining. I don't sell my Bible study tools. I am not promoting myself at all. When I have been thanked or praised, I say "To God be the glory for Holy Spirit guidance." I share blessings from them. What is wrong with that? Better than opinions or theories that are not backed by Scripture. And such dominates everywhere, especially by most of the USA media and liberal politicians. My motives are pure and I confess to all mistakes and sins that I have done. I just enjoy being part of the Great Commission and obedient to the Holy Spirit instead of selfishness and humanism.

You are lying against me Deade. The only two actual websites are how to do ETRSFing and even the history of such in my life is not bragging. My main spiritual gift has been diagnosed by two spiritual questionnaires as Teaching. But I don't preach sermons or write spiritual essays that most just have opinions or theories which add to Scripture or promote psychology. Did you know that the founding fathers of psychology were against Christianity? Dr. Freud was because he saw his father get beaten up by "Christians". I only did some commentary in the "God Wants-- the Epistle of the Philippians". None of the other over 300 Bible study tools has any commentary. I let Scripture "speak" for itself. My sermons just have been mostly Scripture in logical order. I have become a Bible addict and strive to only do perfect logical formatting of Scripture, logical group titles in Bible word studies, and write thought provoking questions in some of the over 300 Bible studies. And the only way to have such temporary perfection is by obeying Holy Spirit urges because He is perfect. He even tells me of inaccuracies in some of the Bible translations. I think the NKJV is the most accurate. I take credit for all of my mistakes and the Holy Spirit points those out too. I make mistakes when I am distracted, tired, or not focused on the project.

Again, I am only promoting God's Word appropriate to the discussion. I is logically formatted to encourage reasoning and retaining. I don't sell my Bible study tools. I am not promoting myself at all. When I have been thanked or praised, I say "To God be the glory for Holy Spirit guidance." I share blessings from them. What is wrong with that?

What does Sanctification mean to you? Why did the Apostle Paul say to work out Salvation? What does Ephesian 2:10 and Jude 20-23 indicate? Sanctification or Christ-likeness or spiritual maturity are not done automatically by the Holy Spirit as many preach. Why are their 2 kinds of Christians mentioned in John 10 and 1 Corinthians 3?

*** Poem That Teaches

JUSTIFICATION frees from sin.
SANCTIFICATION frees from the power of sin.
GLORIFICATION frees from the presence of sin.

JUSTIFICATION is for the repentant sinner.
SANCTIFICATION is for the surrendered disciple.
GLORIFICATION is for the victorious saint.

JUSTIFICATION takes care of the past.
SANCTIFICATION takes care of the present.
GLORIFICATION takes care of the future.

JUSTIFICATION changes the attitude.
SANCTIFICATION changes the character.
GLORIFICATION changes us from mortal to immortal.

In JUSTIFICATION, Jesus is our Savior.
In SANCTIFICATION, Jesus is our Master.
In GLORIFICATION, Jesus is our glorious King.

JUSTIFICATION is our title to Heaven.
SANCTIFICATION is our fitness for Heaven.
GLORIFICATION is our entrance to Heaven.

I am not lying, anyone can click on any those references and they will eventually see your name there. I even see a donation prompt on the contact page. Go ahead and promote your teachings but don't call us liars for exposing you. :devilish:

Yes, you are lying. I never asked for donations in my 15 year Internet ministering. My name is required and it doesn't say created by. The only important name in my life is Jesus Christ. I have not sinned in self-promoting. I just want others to reason in the Word and make good changes in their thinking and doing. That is my divine calling. What is yours? Why are you so hateful and jealous? I just live most of the time for God as Jude 20-23 and the Great Commission indicate. I am almost always sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Satan is please about what you are doing.

I did receive to $500 donations from 2 elderly true Christian friends before I even had a computer. One was in 1979 before I went to Texas with my family to work for a Christian curriculum developer and the other was somewhat later and I used it for a printer and other supplies. Again, both were before my Internet ministering. And I was never given any vehicles or houses. But the Holy Spirit told me never to charge for my Bible study tools and Biblical counseling, and I have not. I told Third World ministers that they could create Bible Schools with Bible discussion groups using my free Bible study tools, and charge for printing expenses and evaluation time of the responses to the Bible study tools teachings.

So you are wrong about me!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately himself. and if you happen to click "disagree" on his posts you will or may receive a "notice" that your church is of Satan, and about his superiority over you spiritually speaking.

He needs our prayers.
