Dear friends in Christ, I strongly support what James said.
Topic 1: ---------- If I don't quote the word of God, then what is it for? Rather than writing long messages dumping once own thoughts, biased by many media (esp books), it is meaning full to quote just one word from Bible. Nothing is out of context if you have the will to accept word of God. If any one says quoting word of God should be avoided, that is a worldly advise, not from God. Even Satan used word of God to test Jesus. Not the word of God is wrong, but the way you comprehend is wrong. That is the difference in Jesus and Satan! The same in the parable of the sower. Not the Word, but the place where it fell makes the difference. But, be considerative! Please use it wisely, not to hurt anyone. However, if want to use it to correct someone (even if it hurts), like what Jesus did in Jerusalem Temple, you can still use His Words. Remember today's (11th) first reading. "Thus says the Lord: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down And do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, Giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, So shall my WORD be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it. " Topic 2 --------- I also appreciate James as he said "Any Spousal relationship (Acts, Thoughts, Words) with anyone (even with the same bride/groom) in mind/body PRIOR to marriage which is against GOD'S Love is hence clearly a Sin". Although I withdrew myself from this topic after a lot of critics, I still advice you to accept this statement. If you accept the word of God, you will accept that pre-marital spousal relationship (Acts, Thoughts, Words) as a SIN. Please don't get biased by the Media and worldly advises. Set your rules from meaning of the word of God. Summary ----------- I remember a calculation that proved ZERO=ONE. Calculation is perfectly correct and proved, yet the truth is different. Remember that Jesus kept quite when Pilot asked "What is truth?" (John 18:38). Why? It is a wasting time! Roman Pilot doesn't posses The word of God or any knowledge about His Heavenly Kingdom. You can only see the truth if your "eyes of heart" are enlightened (Eph 1:18) by the God, the word (John 1:1) with lots of love and prayers Wilson Thomas (Singapore) ----- Original Message ----- From: "JAMES SIMON" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 12:06 AM Subject: [JOYnet] May Grace be with you all > All Scripture is inspired by GOD and is USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REFUTING ERROR, FOR CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN CHRISTIAN LIFE.
