Farts.

James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Numerous theories, no known answers.

ah ha now then Carol - yes indeed it seems the best brains over the centuries have pondered and puzzled and failed to understand and unravel - but many fools have rushed in where wise men have feared to tread' - so I HAVE GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY - so that is why I have advised 'hang about' and tolerate me for a wee while longer or where else would you rather go for your answers - more later - any comments - meanwhile whilst Catholicism is forbidden here wrongly as supposedly not Christian, via google just have a listen to "The shocking message" by Paul Washer - wincam

okay so now i'm worried...

Paul Washer said some pretty powerful things! It's too long to put all of it here, but here are a couple of clips:

(I should say that this sermon was at a youth group. Most of us here are older. I'm 66 myself).

I want you to know that the greatest heresy in the American evangelical and protestant church is
that, if you pray and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, He will definitely come in. You
will not find that in any place in Scripture. You will not find that anywhere in Baptist history
until about 50 years ago. What you need to know is that salvation is by faith and faith alone in
Jesus Christ. And faith alone in Jesus Christ is preceded and followed by repentance . . . a
turning away from sin, a hatred for the things that God hates and a love for the things that God
loves, a growing in holiness and a desire not to be like Britney Spears, not to be like the world,
and not to be like the great majority of American Christians, but to be like Jesus Christ!

I really liked this part:

“Well, I was out here on the highway, and I was driving and I had a flat tire and I got out to
change the tire, and when I was changing the tire, the lug nut fell off, and I wasn’t paying
attention that I was on the highway and I ran out and I grabbed the lug nut, and as soon as I
picked it up in the middle of the highway, I stood up and there was a 30-ton logging truck going 120 miles an hour about ten yards in front of me, and it ran me over and that’s why I’m late.”

Now, there would only be two . . . I know no one studies logic anymore, but there would only be
two logical conclusions. One, I’m a liar or, two, I’m a madman. You would say, “Brother Paul,
it’s absolutely absurd. It is impossible, Brother Paul, to have an encounter with something as
large as a logging truck and not be changed.”

And then my question would be to you––What is larger? A logging truck or God? How is it that
so many people today profess to have had an encounter with Jesus Christ, and, yet, they are not permanently changed? Let me give you a few things to think about. You know I’m telling you
the truth. How many times do you go and rededicate your life over and over and over again?
How many times do youth groups go to things like this and get fired up and go back to the
church, and it lasts about a week and a half? And yet, “Oh, it was a great move of God.” No, it
wasn’t. If it doesn’t last, it wasn’t a great move of God. It was emotion. It was so many things,but it wasn’t a great move of God. Has God worked in your life? Is God working in your life?
You will know them by their fruit. You will know them by their fruit.

yes, yes exactly Carol - so now just you wait a while for my follow on to my post viz the unforgiveable sin and all those who in the past and even now are claiming an encounter with the HS - the post is 'THE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN' and you will know them by their fruit - wincam

Are you familiar on how a seal works as in the sealing of something?

stick to the OP and avoid shooting off at individual irrelevant tangents - as appears to be the tendency - wincam

WildB is talking about the seal of the Holy Spirit in response to your statement:

quote:
the unforgiveable sin and all those who in the past and even now are claiming an encounter with the HS

Ephesians 4:25-32 (NASB)
25 Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another. 26 BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not give the devil an opportunity. 28 He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need. 29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

Paul gives three reasons why we must avoid bitterness. First, it grieves the Holy Spirit. He lives within the Christian, and when the heart is filled with bitterness and anger, the Spirit grieves. We parents know just a little of this feeling when our children at home fight with each other. The Holy Spirit is happiest in an atmosphere of love, joy, and peace, for these are the "fruit of the Spirit" that He produces in our lives as we obey Him. The Holy Spirit cannot leave us, because He has sealed us until that day when Christ returns to take us home. We do not lose our salvation because of our sinful attitudes, but we certainly lose the joy of our salvation and the fullness of the Spirit's blessing.

Until we confess and repent. To the Lord, not a confessional Priest.

this here as also elsewhere is the great delusion and confusion that this applies to us today when in fact it addresses the Apostles and early Christians - wincam
