To my knowledge, we are of different 'denominations' (as some call it), and i'm sure we believe different on some issues, but none that change eternal destiny.
God assigned me here to share Him and His great Love for us. My opinion on any of Mr Bill's personal comments is worthless. Only what God thinks is important. As i said, that's between Mr Bill and His Creator, as it is with all of us.
I am taught to 'do unto others'. i totally believe in sowing and reaping, and have witnessed this phenom many times thru experiences in my own life.
Mr Bill and I are called to different ways of presenting Truth. God knows how to be effective thru many ways. I don't question His ways, regardless. God's ways are so much higher than mine, and only He knows how one might be drawn to Him.
Absolutely true, ever since sin entered the world thru man. I don't think Mr Bill would dispute that.
no problem, i am never personally offended. Since Holy Spirit lives within me, i have died to my flesh, therefore offence thru my flesh is impossible. of course it is a discipline i continually work thru, for my flesh must die daily.
i guess the jist of this is that Mr Bill is my brother thru the Blood of Christ, much like my earthly brother is related thru the bloodline of our parents. Regardless of his conduct etc, my earthly brother wasn't mine to choose and not mine to disown. God chose my earthly family, and God designated the particulars of being in His Spiritual family. I cannot add or delete from either.
ps. haha, not an ID of Mr Bills, never personally met him, just here on the forum and later thru emails. thru those i found that i've known a brother of his for many years.
Blessings to you Chick, HG<><

Hippie, you and C&G are 2 of those peope that see life as all purfume & roses, refusing to see the world accept thru rose colored glasses.
hg> the devil tries to fill my life with dung and weeds. yet since i've given my life to God, He makes all that turn to perfume and roses for me. if life is good, it's ok to see it as good. so yes, in a way, you are correct.
I got news for you both. Just because someone says they believe in God does not make them a Christian. Just because someone says they're a Christian does not make them a Christian.
hg> i agree that all who wear the name of Christ aren't Christians. but i certainly don't have the authority to override such a claim. Christ knows who are His.
Hippie, you do answer for Bill's comments. Everytime you cheer him on for his treatment of people, you are letting everyone here know that you agree with what he says & how he says it. Yes, all of us will answer to God (if He exist) on Judgement Day for every word/deed spoken. You & CG should stop & think about the deeds you're going to answer for when you cheer someone like Bill on. It's clear neithrer of you have the skills of Spiritual Discernment.
hg> i have never 'hoorayed or booed' a personal comment you think derogatory from Mr Bill. His personal comments are his own. i don't comment because my 'opinion' matters not, only God's. i do however, applaud his posts when i feel he has presented a subject well and made it easy to understand. He explains scripture much better than i can, one of his God-gifts no doubt. Anything he posts taken personal from him has nothing to do with me, even if you think it does.
You believe that God assigned you here to share Him, but no one is listening to you becuase of your support of Bill Gray. There's a couple of Christians on here that you & CG could learn from, just as Bill could, but it'll never happen. BTW, your sowing & reaping isn't working, & you are still a human being, your flesh isn't dead. If it was, you wouldn't be talking to people the way you do. Most people here is not going to take you serious because of your admiration of & your cheering for Bill.
hg> my purpose here has nothing to do with whether ANYone reads or listens to my posts, takes me seriously, or considers me laughable. My only purpose is to obey God in speaking as He leads me. Some people put much weight in man's opinion, when actually it holds no weight at all.
Sowing and reaping is alive and well in all of us. As for myself, God is great to bless me beyond my giving, and gracious with His mercy when i fail Him. But you have no idea about my sowing and reaping, so saying that you have knowledge of it is not truthful. indeed i am human, but my flesh does die. the scriptures say that i am to 'die to my flesh daily'.
CG, if you think Bill Gray is intelligent all and is here for anyone but his own ego, you are as bad as he is. I feel sorry for you & Hippie.
hg> Chick, feeling sorry for me is a waste of your time, but to each his own.
I can see where it would be difficult for someone who denies God's authority to wrap their mind around things they don't understand about God's ways with His children, but that doesn't negate His Truth. He is alive and well in my life, regardless of any belief to the contrary.
Blessings to you, hg<><
