Treachery! I am not unacquainted with it. It has visited me many times in my lifetime, when friends turned on me, or someone set me up, or one went out of the way to cause me grief. Recently my Twin Towers have been knocked down. One tower was toppled when a Christian man had me arrested for pulling recyclable material from trash piles! It was only equal to a traffic ticket in the state where this happened, but I was labled by this as a thief - me, who preaches abiding in the Ten Commandments. It will be on record for the rest of my life. So ugly is it that a guy whom I went to high school with, who later in life became a bail bondsman, e-mailed me the other day to say hello.

Then the other went down just in the past few days, both the work of satan in his very person, but unrecognized by the perpetrators. Both were stunning blows 'from Christians'. In this case a Jezebel without knowledge whereof she speaketh, underminded the character of the servant of the Lord, rather than building him up, by wickedly and perversely not considering her own sinful condition as she misrepresented moi to others who already needed no reason to fault the servant of the Lord! The reward of Jezebel is upon her, as she has done this to herself. It is a sad in heaven, for people insist that they know the scriptures, and curse God in their thoughts and intents, thinking themselves, well... who knows? It is a shame. And if that is you, you need to consider, "For if judgment begins at the house of God, where shall the sinner and ungodly appear?" And if the Lord has spoken, and you have overlooked it, how will you feel when you find out?

I will not waver in expressing the truth of the Life of Christ. Indeed, I have to expect the attacks of the enemy, who would viciously and unashamedly 'nuke' the efforts of the godly,. But these were Tsunamies which caught me not knowing that standing on the beach when the tide went out was to put one's self in harms way.

So if ye indeed will be puffed up in pride, and self assurance, let me tell you what Revelation says: "Purchase refinement from Me!" Self assurance is not worth a wooden nickle.

Proverbs 18

24 A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Michael,
You are in the same boat as the rest of us. We all have been dealt blows that knocked us off our feet.
No on is asking you not to speak the truth of the Gospel, but to begin to build each other up in love and respect. This said, I will pray that God will comfort you.

MICHAEL...Sir, would you have anything to say if you were not degrading someone ?

I know your answer is yes, but it seems that you have failed at it so far. Why do you do that ?

Forget the last question, we have heard that already.

This a pretty sad situation.

Imagine that there was a hurricane, and afterwards people who are looking for relief packages are out in force. Imagine that there is an unassuming man sitting with a sign that says "This way." Observe that he is overlooked because everyone is headed in the direction where the crowd seems to be concentrated. They don't realze from a distance that those at the center of the crowd are trying to make their way out, for nothing is there. They cannot for the press.

bluefrog, I have wondered, old man, and now realize why you do not call yourself "bull" frog, instead.

Nothing new under the sun.

What was funny was that, in one of the other threads that Michael Harrison started, he quoted Charles Trumbull.

But before I realized that Michael Harrison was quoting Charles Trumbull, I at first thought, "Hey! Michael's mind has cleared up, it's not so jumbly with words anymore", but then I realized that Michael Harrison was quoting the words of Charles Trumbull!! For a moment I thought you had "gotten it", Michael...LOL

Treachery!

love, Eden
