You don't understand the meaning of simple man, do you?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51929744 Not really. Is it a reference I'm missing/inside joke or do you mean the literal definition?
Quoting: Shenzon It's a reference to my belief that the truth is always simple ..
I get this belief from many examples in the Bible
Jesus is one of them ..... Just a man of simple birth ....born in a manger .... Born to common folk
the Ten Commandments ..... 10 simple commandments that's easy to comprehend
John the Baptist .... Just a wilderness" hillbilly" from the desert yet he had the true knowledge of the coming of The Lord ....the Pharisees were trained in scripture and prophecy and were looking for the coming Messiah yet they completely missed him ...the "hillbilly " John the Baptist knew the truth
Elijah the Prophet was a simple wilderness man yet he was the mouthpiece of God
David was the youngest and smallest of his brothers and his father didn't even bring him before Samuel to anoint as king yet he was the man that God choose
I could go on and on
I've just noticed a pattern in the. Bible that god picks the man that you would lest expect to deliver his message
Quoting: Simple_Man While that does explain your handle, I fail to see what that has to do with drinking vodka while playing video games and announcing it. Maybe I'm missing something here, perhaps the "lunatic" fringe angle or something else all together. Now I'm genuinely curious.
Quoting: Shenzon I'm a rebellious child of God
just like in the Old Testament the Hebrew Children were the Chosen people of God ....... I was born into the "Message " of this hour into the chosen people of God ....Hebrew children born into Hebrew families didn't choose to be born into Hebrew families didn't choose that they would be born into the select group of "Gods chosen people...the Hebrews .....neither did I choose to be born into "Gods chosen people" of the Gentiles
I didn't choose to be born into this "Truth" .... I was born into it by Gods foreknowledge, Predestitanation and Election
It's been very difficult for me in a way but in another way I'm extremely blessed to know the " Truth" .... But like Samson I have many times chosen the way of the rebellious man and I have I paid dearly for my choices
Yet in the end Samson turned back to the one true God and was redeemed "in a sense " by God giving him back his strength that was lost by his own choices to go after "pleasures of the flesh"
I too have gone after the pleasures of the flesh .... I am a man that struggles with his fleshly desires and enjoyed the things that temporarily ....and I mean "temporarily " pleasure the desires of the flesh ....that includes ....women , intoxicants and music .....yet in the end they lead to death ....and the true definition of death is eternal separation from God our creator
Yet I believe in the end I will come under subjection to the will of God ....tho I pay dearly for my transgression ..... I will still eventually come under His subjection for I am predestinated to a higher calling
doubting Thomas was a doubter of the truth ....yet in the end he was a disciple of God
In the end ...so am I
