Hello again Stephanos,

Well I am relaxed, but I still see things the same way. Biblestudent quoted this verse:

Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Do you not realize the love we show you here in our postings? We "throw stones" of truth at you hoping that the Lord will use the scriptures shown so uou may be saved unto eternal life?

[B]2 Peter 1:10-13 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

13Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

We only want that "you be established in the present truth".

Stephanos, I am 64 years of age, married for 47 years to a wonderful man (George) that God has blessed me with. We have trained up 7 children in the Lord as best as we could, 7 have professed to be saved by the blood unto eternal salvation, all are morally "good". Not all are living for the Lord and 1 is living with the Lord He was only 42 years old when Our Lord took him home.

As parents we do not even think about our children dying before us, we want them near us untill we go home to heaven. How much more, (once we become the children of God) God in His holy and righteous love wants us near Him and is able to keep us?

John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

My understanding of the word "keep" is very deep. George and I have been married for many years, he not only loves me, he keeps me. He "keeps" me through the many faults I have, the many stupid things I do, the many times I fail him. This is the kind of Love God has given us for eachother. We are carnal and able to possess this kind of Love. How much greater Our Lord's HOLY, INFINITE, INFALABLE AND EVERLASTING LOVE is.

No Stephanos, there is no hate involved in our post, only a deep concern that you be saved unto eternal life.

I have bared my heart (and God knows what I have said to be true):

Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

I pray that the doors of your heart remain open, I do pray for you.

Irene
