1 Samuel and God rejecting Saul..insight needed!
As I'm reading through the old testament (sorry to any jewish friends...I only recently was made aware that 'old testament' is an offensive term to many jewish people. but terms you grew up with die…

1 Samuel and God rejecting Saul..insight needed!
Thanks Craig. I am really enjoying everyone's insights. I am still curious about God 'repenting'...it's just really bugging me. How does God change His mind? We know He can't do that. So why does it…

1 Samuel and God rejecting Saul..insight needed!
Ok, I read your blog...and now my brain hurts. ;) It's a lot to absorb, but I am getting it bit by bit. One thing I'd love you to expound on, and that is how eating from the tree of knowledge made us…

Can you explain further the sin offering and the peace offering? Saul was obviously someone with very little mercy...he was ready to kill his son because he ate some honey after Saul demanded everyon…

Here is your answer.
Yes, and No. The word repent is not used in the proper context. People put the emphasizes on man doing the action of repenting. I didn’t go back to look at what I said, but the word repent should show God’s action. M…
Please let me add also, that I don't consider anyone here a liar. That doesn't mean that people don't have lies they contend with. We don't run around believing what looks to us obviously false; lies are there nonetheless. We all contend with lies.…

Based on our discussion on works. Someday I hope the Lord shows you what I meant. Be merry! So long!
Hello Al, just sent you a friend request, perhaps we could talk one to one instead of in this spot, if you so desire it. I must say that I have walked with the Lord for 40 years and have studied the scriptures intensly and have a good working knowle…
Hello Al
Just because I didn't voice my objection, doesn't mean that I didn't mind your offensive responses. My first thoughts were "how can this brother write such a scathing response to Laren Smoot in another thread, and not take his own advice."…
Hello Tom and Katherine
What is the spirit? I‘m not going to break down every aspect of the spirit. Only that part needed for my reply to Katherine, and Tom. We know from the written words of the bible, that God is a spirit. The Bible also says tha…
Hello Tom and Katherine
What does an heart inquiry mean? Didn’t Kelly start this conversation with an inquiry into doctrine? Which lies are being reinforced, and by whom? Please don’t be vague! Thank you.
Al
Tom, that's one of the reasons I haven't responded. And I'm thinking of not doing so because to me it's not important to repeat or to think thoughts aloud for *myself* because I can do that on my own time with my own piece of paper. I also didn't wa…
i must say it sounds like two people arguing doctrine rather that responding to a heart inquiry. Looks like two people forgot the person in need. Alveno and Katherine should debate from another post and just listen here to the cry of a heart instead.
Hello Katherine
Sometimes you can't take short cuts. It exhausted me!

Elizabeth’s statement:
“I agree that some don't have the ability to see. It is God who opens the eyes. “
Al’s response :
Good. I’m glad that we can agree.

- About Me
- I have believed in the restoration of all things for two years now. When I first read "Hope Beyond Hell", it was like finally finding that spot that has been itching for all your life, but you could never quite reach it. It never occured to me that other people didn't have the same itch. When my family and other Christain friends didn't respond in the same way...I was crushed to say the least. It's been a long, lonely journey. But I know God is teaching me to love unconditionally, and this kind of love only comes from Him.
- Favorite Books
- I love Philip Yancy and David Benner for non-fiction. I also love Anne Rice, but not into the vampire stuff. And the Bible is like a new book to me; it's hard to believe I actually look forward to reading it now, instead of it being a chore to show I'm a good Christian. I'm so thankful!

- Hi Kelly,
Glad to hear from you again. Of course I remember. I didn't not mean by my article to pressure anyone to stay in a community of faith where they do not feel comfortable. The reason was for the sake of being a light and encouragement to others who might also be hurting and open to the truth. If everyone who comes to understand the Blessed Hope walks away from the Christian community, how will they ever receive this truth?
Anyway, you must do what's right for you. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. We are free in Christ to connect with whoever we feel encouraged and helped by in our faith. It is important to not go it completely alone though. We see a strong emphasis in Scripture about community. We are part of His Body and members one of another.
"Lord, please bless my dear sister and her family. Lead her to other believers who will accept her as she is and with whom she can truly be a blessing. Bless her entire family. In your precious name I ask. Thank you Lord."
Richest blessings to you always Kelly,
Gerry

- Hello Kelly,
It sure is an irony, when you were told to proclaim the 'old' Good News that Jesus saved a person from eternal torment only if you believe; versus, staying silent about the Good News that Jesus saved all humanity especially those who believe. The truth is, you will not be silent about this, you are just learning there are times to speak and times to listen and to whom you can speak with and to whom you cannot.
Remember Jesus saying, "A prophet is not accepted in his hometown."? This is the problem we face with our Christian acquaintances, friends and family. We are too familiar to these people for them to truly accept what we have to say, and that is why we are actually called to leave and be disciples of all nations and not our hometown.
This will not get any easier with them, in fact you will find yourself slowly withdrawing from engaging them as you will slowly become disconnected from their priorities and interests. This is natural, as their priorities are to save people from a myth, while your priorities begin to make people better than they are through the strength that comes through the Grace of God to all mankind through you.
Perhaps that is not what you wanted to hear now, but rest assured you will have people in your life and people will change and people will listen to what you have to say. There is just a process which now comes.
As Peter states in:
2 Peter 1:5-8
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you have any fellowship in your city or town which espouses the wonderful good news?

- Hello Kelly!
I just read a scathing email sent to me a few years ago by someone I helped out of a drug addition and they said I blasphemy the Lord with my universal beliefs. Judgment from a former drug addict and man on the verge of suicide who was helped by my willingness to forgive him and give him a chance where no-one else would. Perhaps this is what happened to Jesus, as they rode him into town on a Donkey declaring Hosana to the King and a year later they were calling for his death.
It is raw, and it is wrong but that is how it is and this is where learning to trust the Lord in everything becomes an essential survival tool.
When approaching Christians with our hope, we need to know more than them and need to able to answer all questions they have; we also need to know how to phrase the questions so that they answer them by the Scriptures so that it is not us who is correcting them, but the Scriptures themselves. As you probably read in one of my blogs, the biggest mistake people make is confronting other Christians and condemning them for their belief in hell, it does nothing but burn your bridge with that person, it doesn't change them. We have to remember how we got to that state of mind to accept that conclusion and it most probably wasn't by someone telling us that we were wrong and if it was then you are a blessed mature person!
So there is a great motivation for being silent in the beginning:
#1 You will not burn your bridges with Christians who will benefit from the good news later
#2 You let your actions speak louder than your words
#3 You get to learn more about yourself and others
#4 You will find secret allies and friends in places you never knew existed
#5 Peace, you will not be in constant conflict with those whom you hold dear
Now, there will be time to talk, and the Holy Spirit will guide you in those times. It will be the times when a person is most susceptible to listen, when they recognize you are different and ask for your hope.

- That's great Kelley. I pray that God gives you lots of love and patience in the Church environment. I pray God gives you wisdom in how and with whom you share your convictions. It's just as important how we share as what. I leave you with 1 Pet 3: 15-16 to ponder. One last thing, do seek out fellowship any way you can get it in this hope as well, as it really makes a difference in maintaining your faith strong. Hopefully, you find friends here at Wisefire. If not let me know, and I can put you in contact with others as well.
Blessings sister,
gerry

- Hi Kelley,
I hope you didn't thank me too soon. Frankly, I'm not really sure how to distinguish what's on my personal wall from the public. I really should know that. Would you please check out my public wall and verify that in fact your original post isn't there? Be sure to scroll all the way down. Please let me know. Thanks,Gerry

- Hi Kelley,
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to share your heart. You are far from alone in your struggle. We all experience some kind of rejection in this message to some degree or another. That's why I'm glad your here in this community. I hope you'll feel welcome and that God will bring you at least one close friend in your life in your area who truly accepts you in your beliefs, and which can help strengthen you. "Lord, be with my sister and help her to grow closer to you in every way, and that her light will shine bright to all around her. Bring her to maturity in your knowledge and grace and love. Bless her husband and all her loved ones. In Jesus name I ask."
Blessings to you, gerry
