I wish I lived in Florida. I love the heat but New Jersey has cold winters.
You ought to gather under a shade of a good tree and ask God to send the cool breeze of the Holy Spirit.
Heh, I wish we could switch.I am a born and bred Yankee. I lived in the North-east for 34 years until I moved to Florida. I prefer the North-east and wish I could go back, but my wife is a born and bred Floridian and will not move.
Not many rivers here in Central Florida, lots of lakes though. Besides, our church doesn't do immersion baptisms being Lutheran and all. Matter of fact our two children were baptized/christened last Sunday. One is 2 1/2 years old and one 3 months old.Also , find somewhere beside a river so believers can be baptised.
Clear of alligators.
Heh, I wish we could switch.
I was watching the news this past Winter and would cry a little because of all the snow that I missing out on.
But wasn't Jesus the Man-God??? He was 100% MAN and 100% God. So in fact Paul was and the disciples were taught by a MAN made way of learning.
I really am struggling to try and understand why there is so much resentment from you and others to those who have gone onto to Christian seminaries to learn more about our Lord and His precious Bible.
I have read what you posted but it makes no sense to me. Would you like to try again and tell me why this is a problem for you.
I have stated that an auto mechanic goes to school to learn more about cars and how to fix them. Do you want someone with no education to fix that oil leak in your cars engine?
I have stated that a brain surgeon goes to school to learn how to fix you and me when we break. Do you really want some to operate on your brain who has never had any training in what to do once he opens your skull?
Isn't the proper education needed in Christian teaching so that the correct understanding goes out. If not the example will be people like Jim Jones and David Koresh. I do hope you can help me understand why you have this particular stance as I said, I really do not get it.
That's some technical stuff right there.But wasn't Jesus the Man-God??? He was 100% MAN and 100% God. So in fact Paul was and the disciples were taught by a MAN made way of learning.
That's some technical stuff right there.
Major Howdy Brother,
It is not that I am against teaching or learnig. There is a rising amount of people who instead of seeking God through a more personal relationship are turning to teachings or way of teaching thst implies bassically only head knowledge and no true Spiritual insight. It leaves them all puffed up with pride and rudness and lacking in true and real Spiritual insight and knowledge.
This does not apply nor say all teaching done by man.
Blessings
Jim
Yeah, it is.Yes it is. But it is none the less true, is it not??????
Not one pastor really needs seminary to become what God calls him to be. God equips those He calls, and the best pastors have come up from being the most faithful servants in the church, no job too demeaning for him/her. Pastors are servants and need that servant heart, and that pliability that God can work with.
Jim, that has been going on for an eternity. Some people are just that way and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Consider how many men /women go to college to be a doctor but then are thrown out of the medical field because they were terrible doctors.
I know what you are saying I am just saying that there really is not a case here in which what you are describing can be fixed or changed.
oh sorry to hear that..how did you meet your wife? I think of scripture saying 'where you go, I will go, your God will be my God...' Ruth saying to Naomi and then Ruth becomes the wife of Boaz..she went where he was, not he to her.
My mum left her own country and met my Dad and never went back. Hong Kong is mighty humid and sticky. I think they have underground churches in China. I don't think they mean literally, underground, but they do have to hide from the atheist authorities.
