Locus is a Latin word for place. Dont get discouraged, the emphasis is knowing the reality of God and not about the pieces of the puzzle that most of you know as prophecy. They are just that; pieces. The prophecies are meant to be a secret with only some of the pieces to be revealed. We will fully understand after the mysteries are revealed at their own time. But its not about that is it? Its about not being distracted from your pure and simple faith in Christ and giving Him the attention that we need to give Him. Oh! not for His sake but for ours. He is our Shepherd at least He is suppose to be. The Coach the Captain will lead you only if you listen to Him-quiet contemplation, i.e. prayer? Partly, the other part is making your needs and concerns known to Him. How else will you spark a conversation with God? :) Want His attention? Start the process with prayer. Remember prayer is a two way street. God doesnt talk to Himself nor should you when you pray. He hears you but are you hearing Him? You should be able to hear Him, well! communicate, He is spirit you know not just flesh and bone. Now in regards to Jesus He did take a body of flesh and bones and He most certainly understands our difficulties in life clothed with flesh. Our High Priest the Mediator between the Father who is spirit and us spirit and flesh and bones. You dont need to break mysteries to know God. You could use your energies to learn about and know God Himself. Its no effort really it should be a natural dependance on God. You know! Trust and faith, in God. It is reassuring to know that God exists and cares for us and knows all about us. You cant have a living faith reality if you are the lone person in a relationship-nonsense isnt it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116 The LORD's eyes scan the whole world to find those whose hearts are committed to him and to strengthen them 2 Chronicles 16:9 Weymouth New Testament 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers." --- Dont stumble because of old words like holiness. Holiness is not a thing or an attainment. Who fooled you? All it means is being good to each other for God is good and is good to all of us. Dont waste your time straining at gnats and swallowing camels-irony isnt it? Focus, Focus, not on the gnats or the camels but on your living faith in God. Or you can say walking with God in faith or by faith-fellowship. Hey! Thats what friends do and are for and Jesus calls us friends if we abide with Him, you know! get along with Him by honoring His loving ways. Pictures ignite memories. Pictures can clean the false impressions that we have. Pictures can light the candle of your heart. Pictures can reconnect the flame of your heart withe the flame of their heart, those ones separated from distance and time. Prayer is a camera that takes pictures of the Eternal that does not fade. Yes our memories do fail and thats when we look for the pictures that captures time in an image. Take pictures of what is most important to you. We all need reminders, 'pictures of You'. Prayer the camera that captures moments beyond the veil that keeps our own eyes from seeing what is plainly seen, by our conscious/subconscious-soul/spirit. Prayer is a vocalizing of what your soul wants to ask or to say. The physical expressing the spirit. I am sure we all had moments in prayer that we all have captured like a camera, always available to bring up when needed. Depending on how many pictures you like to take :) in a manner of speech :) |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 31471878 Spain01/07/2013 05:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is what Jesus taught about real love laying down your life. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15534724 “When I enacted for you a parable indicating how you should be willing to serve one another, I said that I desired to give you a new commandment; and I would do this now as I am about to leave you. You well know the commandment which directs that you love one another; that you love your neighbor even as yourself. But I am not wholly satisfied with even that sincere devotion on the part of my children. I would have you perform still greater acts of love in the kingdom of the believing brotherhood. And so I give you this new commandment: That you love one another even as I have loved you. And by this will all men know that you are my disciples if you thus love one another. (1944.5) 180:1.2 “When I give you this new commandment, I do not place any new burden upon your souls; rather do I bring you new joy and make it possible for you to experience new pleasure in knowing the delights of the bestowal of your heart’s affection upon your fellow men. I am about to experience the supreme joy, even though enduring outward sorrow, in the bestowal of my affection upon you and your fellow mortals. (1944.6) 180:1.3 “When I invite you to love one another, even as I have loved you, I hold up before you the supreme measure of true affection, for greater love can no man have than this: that he will lay down his life for his friends. And you are my friends; you will continue to be my friends if you are but willing to do what I have taught you. You have called me Master, but I do not call you servants. If you will only love one another as I am loving you, you shall be my friends, and I will ever speak to you of that which the Father reveals to me. (1945.1) 180:1.4 “You have not merely chosen me, but I have also chosen you, and I have ordained you to go forth into the world to yield the fruit of loving service to your fellows even as I have lived among you and revealed the Father to you. The Father and I will both work with you, and you shall experience the divine fullness of joy if you will only obey my command to love one another, even as I have loved you.” Indeed thats what its all about..  |

You're certainly correct its a major bummer that the innocent Lamb of God chose to suffer for our sins, as we don't deserve it. But also keep in mind he chose gladly to do it. Dont know about the "gladly" bit..but yes He chose to. Nothing in His Life was coincidence The Fig Tree.. He withered it because it gave no fruit.. In my opinion..He showed that: 1. The fruit one produces is important.. 2.He is to be Honored by all Creation 3.He had the power of withering..destroying..just be uttering a word He could have destroyed all His accusers and murderers..just by willing it..but He didnt..He chose not to Not because He couldnt because He didnt want to..for various reasons.. But He wanted to make it quite clear..that He could have.. Yes you are correct in no one would gladly choose such a glum fate and end. Probably more correct to say he chose it with a glad heart. Keep in mind Christ forgave the thief on the cross even when he himself was on the cross. I dont think and or believe He suffered gladly..willingly yes..obviuously..but gladly no Not only because of the personal suffering..also due to the suffering those that loved Him were experiencing..His Blessed Mother especially..though She is Blessed..the suffering must have been felt..to see this done to Him.. And also due to the consecuences..the fruits..of that act.. It is written that He was offered a drink spiced with a drug to dull the pain..He refused it.. that also is no coincidence In my opinion..it was to show that the pain would be felt in full..physically..and spiritually..the spiritual pain of witnessing the cruelty that can be ministered gratuitiously towards One whose only crime was to preach LOVE The Sacrifice had to be complete.. |

Locus is a Latin word for place. Dont get discouraged, the emphasis is knowing the reality of God and not about the pieces of the puzzle that most of you know as prophecy. They are just that; pieces. The prophecies are meant to be a secret with only some of the pieces to be revealed. We will fully understand after the mysteries are revealed at their own time. But its not about that is it? Its about not being distracted from your pure and simple faith in Christ and giving Him the attention that we need to give Him. Oh! not for His sake but for ours. He is our Shepherd at least He is suppose to be. The Coach the Captain will lead you only if you listen to Him-quiet contemplation, i.e. prayer? Partly, the other part is making your needs and concerns known to Him. How else will you spark a conversation with God? :) Want His attention? Start the process with prayer. Remember prayer is a two way street. God doesnt talk to Himself nor should you when you pray. He hears you but are you hearing Him? You should be able to hear Him, well! communicate, He is spirit you know not just flesh and bone. Now in regards to Jesus He did take a body of flesh and bones and He most certainly understands our difficulties in life clothed with flesh. Our High Priest the Mediator between the Father who is spirit and us spirit and flesh and bones. You dont need to break mysteries to know God. You could use your energies to learn about and know God Himself. Its no effort really it should be a natural dependance on God. You know! Trust and faith, in God. It is reassuring to know that God exists and cares for us and knows all about us. You cant have a living faith reality if you are the lone person in a relationship-nonsense isnt it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21500116 The LORD's eyes scan the whole world to find those whose hearts are committed to him and to strengthen them 2 Chronicles 16:9 Weymouth New Testament 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers." --- Dont stumble because of old words like holiness. Holiness is not a thing or an attainment. Who fooled you? All it means is being good to each other for God is good and is good to all of us. Dont waste your time straining at gnats and swallowing camels-irony isnt it? Focus, Focus, not on the gnats or the camels but on your living faith in God. Or you can say walking with God in faith or by faith-fellowship. Hey! Thats what friends do and are for and Jesus calls us friends if we abide with Him, you know! get along with Him by honoring His loving ways. Pictures ignite memories. Pictures can clean the false impressions that we have. Pictures can light the candle of your heart. Pictures can reconnect the flame of your heart withe the flame of their heart, those ones separated from distance and time. Prayer is a camera that takes pictures of the Eternal that does not fade. Yes our memories do fail and thats when we look for the pictures that captures time in an image. Take pictures of what is most important to you. We all need reminders, 'pictures of You'. Prayer the camera that captures moments beyond the veil that keeps our own eyes from seeing what is plainly seen, by our conscious/subconscious-soul/spirit. Prayer is a vocalizing of what your soul wants to ask or to say. The physical expressing the spirit. I am sure we all had moments in prayer that we all have captured like a camera, always available to bring up when needed. Depending on how many pictures you like to take :) in a manner of speech :) Pictures say so much, pictures can teach, pictures say so much. Pictures are a language itself, they do talk(communicate). Prayer captures moments between only you and God, memory of such moments are a spiritual strength to the soul of man. I am a skilled photographer and I have many pictures of the moments I have had and do have of moments of heart experiences with the Lord. You want to find God? Look in your heart for that is only where He can be found. The all knowing One the all loving One. The only One God that created us and knows us, and we should do in like kind-knowing God and that only on a personal level. |

Today religious folks have not changed much except there religious affiliations. Now we have a new affiliation called Christianity. People identify the name of Jesus with their brand of religion but they have to understand that it is just in name only. His Name is His name and if one wants to take His affiliation one has to identify with His character and not just the familiarity of the Name of Jesus. One thing to affiliate with a religion that carries the name of Jesus, another thing to actually affiliate with the reality and original teachings and demonstration of the Christ........Jesus Christ the Son of God is not a religion He is a person that is living and active. Living(being full of life) active in demonstration of power and love and the forgiveness that proceeds from His love eternal... Jesus associated with what society deems the dregs of this world, when I say associated I mean befriended. He hung out with them, in other words He didnt disenfranchised Himself from them......He knew the mechanics of all human souls and He didnt divide Himself from the religious folks and the folks perceived as the dregs of society. The sick know when they are sick, the sick who do not show symptoms because they hide it well by performing ordinances taught them by religious affiliations just dont know that they are not any better than the sick who have the symptoms manifesting....The whole of the point is that God truly is love and is not manipulated by the perception of man. God loves us all equally saint sinner or anything in-between.....If you want to truly bare the Name of Jesus as a Christian then love God and love people equally as God loves them. Love does not discriminate between color sexes or even lifestyles and most definitely not religions that pursue what is right and loving and kind. If you discriminate you are lost and have no clue of what love truly is. Its just a word to you and you will never know what love truly is or what it truly means. Enjoy your politics and enjoy your religions but you will not find love in division. Divisions with love-absurd isnt it? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does |
