      We do this minute by minute every day by deferring to Jesus' lordship over our lives and by our choosing to let Him live His life out through us using His unlimited power.

  • Galatians 5:16-21
    • Gary Patton
       
      In Galatians 5:16-21 (NASB), the Apostle Paul describes the war between the power of "Mr. Sin" via our Flesh, in Satan, and that of Holy Spirit, in Christ, that wages constantly within the body of human beings ...including Followers of Jesus. However, you can read the last Chapter of the Bible, the Book of Revelation to see how this war turns out. It says that at the end of time Jesus Followers win because Jesus puts and end to this war within us! Our "Warrior Within", Yeshua/Jesus, puts an end to the power of the flesh on our behalf so that we do not have to resist it any more! Hallelujah! gfp (20112-08-28)

Our Temporal and Eternal Homes - Bible Gateway - 0 views

  • For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
    • Gary Patton
       
      When we believe this, 1 John 5: 11-13 at ? says we are guaranteed to spend eternity with God because of what Yeshua/Jesus did (past tense) for us. He paid the full penalty for our sin nature and sins when He by His choice and willingly gave up His life on a cross (torture instrument) for those who believe in His gift and "Good news" of salvation through Him with His and our heavenly Father.
  • For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
    • Gary Patton
       
      The Bible in more than one place makes clear that human beings live only one life. It says there is no reincarnation during whicch we can strive and work to be better to earn reconciliation with God. At the end of our one life on earth, we each will be held accountable for everything we've done here during it. And God will not measure our relative goodness for we "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". (Romans 6:3) In deciding whether we can and will spend eternity with Him in heaven, or heavenly Father only will check on our relationship with and followership of Yeshua/Jesus of Nazareth, God Incarnate (God with us) ...His eternal Son. Our eternal fate will depend solely on whether or not trusted in Yeshua/Jesus to have paid the full penalty for our sinful nature and sins on His cross when he died for the degradating behaviour of every human being who ever did, is or will live!

John 14:1-6; 22-27 NASB - Jesus Comforts His Followers - Bible Gateway - 0 views

  • I will come again and receive you to Myself, that (D)where I am, there you may be also.

  • But the (I)Helper, the Holy Spirit, (J)whom the Father will send in My name, (K)He will teach you all things, and (L)bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
  • Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. (N)Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
  •  
    These passages from John 14 were shared by my Friend, Bruce Malcolm, at the Funeral service for my Mom, Ina Donelda Patton (aka Donnie (family) & Donna (friends). These passages confirm the eternal promise of Jesus to His Followers, of which my Mom was one, that they will spend eternity with Him in His mansions in heaven. Each human is a "spiritual being in a temporary earth suit". And, therefore, we each will live forever. The only question is where we will spend the non-earthly part of our eternity ...in what Jesus called "heaven" or "hell". The answer to that question depends solely on whether one chooses to believe that Jesus was "a liar", "a lunatic" or "Lord" of us all and "God Incarnate", His eternal "Son" who choose to die on a cross to pay the full penalty for our sin nature & sins which our "good works" cannot pay for. In addition to the above passages, another Friend, Adele Van Caulart, read Psalm 23 ...another source of great assurance of God's love and His peace for my Mom and me. gfp (2012-04-04)

  •  
    In His "Sermon on the Mount", quoted in Matthew 5:1-11 from God's "New Covenant" with those who would Follow Him, Yeshua (Jesus/ Isa), the First Century Palestinian, shares with His first Disciples (Learners) what has become know since antiquity as "The Beatitudes", part of His "Sermon on the Mount". Yeshua's public talks always were directed primarily at His then and future Followers. Only secondarily did He intend what He was sharing for the thousands of people often listening in on His teachings. Huge crows always followed Yeshua because of His popularity as a Rabbi (Teacher) and the power of what He said. People at the time and since say his talks were inferior to those of anyone who had come to them before Him. (Matthew 7:28) No one who has come after Yeshua the Messiah has come close to his power and influence ...including Muhammad, Islam's principal Prophet. This will be attested to by anyone who actually reads what these two men said in both the Gospels and the Qur'an rather than believing what they are told by their religious leaders or family members. For His Followers, Jesus' words are a road map for their post-salvation lives as born-again people. What they meant to the crows you can discover in my Sticky note below. gfp (2011-10-24)

It's not Islamophobia to call a jihadist, a jihadist - 0 views

  • There is no doubt that such prejudice exists. But there is no doubt, too, that cries of “Islamophobia” are issued to suffocate argument, to deflect or deter analysis of some behaviour that is factually related to Islam. There is no doubt either that some Muslims have acted as terrorists, either singly, or in association with various Islamist groups. To point this out is not a phobia, but a simple respect for reality.
  • It’s not Islamophobia to call a jihadist, a jihadist
  • there also have been calls suggesting that any reference to the Islamist terrorist connections of the killer would be a species of Islamophobia. This is pure nonsense and folly.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • It is not Islamophobic to note the motives and background of the murderer. In fact, it is a form of cowardice and evasion not to do so.
  • If one decries Islamophobia, then one must condemn bin Laden as its Nile source. Bin Laden, more than any other person, has besmirched the practice and understanding of Islam and engendered suspicion of some of its adherents.
  • Horrors perpetrated in the name of fundamentalist Islam, such as attacks on young girls going to school, the internecine slaughters of various sects, the cruel penalties exacted by the Taliban’s repressive creed — stonings, amputations and executions for apostasy — also feed the angry atmosphere, and they are not phantoms of a prejudiced imagination.
  • Bin Laden’s declared purpose, his “war” on the West, and his overt linkage of his cause with a fundamentalist version of Islam, are the primary drivers of our non-phobic — which is to say, very rational — fear of, and hostility to, manifestations of Islamic fanaticism.
  • in Madrid, London or Bali — it was not Islamophobia when some immediately assumed these were al Qaeda, or Islamist-inspired. It was just a natural first response, the acknowledgement of a pattern. In most cases, that first response proved correct.
  • The too-energetic effort to fall outside the shadow of prejudice has served to distort the response of investigators. Looking for everybody else except the most “likely” suspects first, wastes time and resources.
  • Our most urgently served impulse should be to make common cause with the victims of violence — in this case, Jews

Psalm 23 KJV - The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not - Bible Gateway - 0 views

      The King James translation of the Christian Bible was the one my Mom used most of her life. This passage was read at her funeral by my Friend, Adele van Caulart. It was one of Ina Donelda Patton's favoutites. My Mom also was called Donnie by my Dad and members of our extended family, as she had been as a child by her 8 siblings. Mom's Friends and catering business colleagues usually called her Donna.
  • I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever
    • Gary Patton
       
      This is God's eternal promise to those who trust in Him and His plan by following Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus). He died a sacrificial death as God Immanuel (God with us) to pay the full penalty for the sinful nature and sins of everyone who believes that Jesus' death on the cross, not our "good works", gives us the salvation we all need. Our sin and sins separates us from a relationship with God (Romans 3:23 & 6:23). Only Jesus' death can reconcile us with our heavenly Father for eternity the Bibles says clearly in John 14:1-6 & 22-27 at http://diigo.com/0pfky .
