Heavenly Father, glory to your name! I pray for your Fatherly hand on anon's wife as she undergoes surgery; I pray you will grant the surgeon and anaesthetist the skill and knowledge to perform a successful operation. Above all, I pray that my brother and sister anons will know the love of God in sending Jesus to reconcile sinful man with their Creator through his perfect sacrifice for sin. Amen.

P.S. Really important after hip surgery to start weight-bearing on leg asap and start walking to get blood flowing to areas that have been operated on to promote healing. Good pain meds will help in the first instance. Blessings in Jesus, anon.

Thank you, Lord God.

The lost art of thinking things through for ourselves instead of expecting, or being satsfied with, spoon fed rubbish. As you say, there's still hope…

> I wonder what kind of structure they want to build.

"44 “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the covenant law with them in the wilderness. It had been made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen. 45 After receiving the tabernacle, our ancestors under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them. It remained in the land until the time of David, 46 who enjoyed God’s favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.[k] 47 But it was Solomon who built a house for him.

48 “However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:

49

“‘Heaven is my throne,

and the earth is my footstool.

What kind of house will you build for me?

says the Lord.

Or where will my resting place be?

50

Has not my hand made all these things?’[l]

51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 52 Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— 53 you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.”

Acts ch 7 - a record of Stephen, the first Christian martyr's testimony before the Sanhedrin - the Jewish court of law.

Because it had in the roof a forest full of centuries old, dry wood?

>>6197938

>So the ENTIRE roof was suddenly afire.

Actually, it wasn't. There was a significant time of smouldering and smoke before the roof erupted in fire which is what one would expect if, say, a lighted cigarette or a spark from a welder, or anything similar, caused a dry lump of wood to begin smouldering. Have you never watched how a fire develops?

>All religions when practiced in their un-adulterated, uncorrupted form are good, in that they will all lead back to The One Infinite Creator, and the ONE SOURCE of all things.

That is a stipid, unconsidered lie that takes little thought to demolish it. Let's just take the religion of Moloch and child sacrifice - do you protest that this is good? It was ever that way so don't claim it has been adulterated. It is a false religion, as are all manmade religions. Look at the Roman Catholic inquisition. Was that good, as you claim?

True Christianity differs from all manmade religions in that God Himself became the propitiation for sin through His incarnation in Jesus.

Was it not ever the case that there are deserters to a cause? Oftimes it is only a remnant that remains faithful. Those who have a love of truth stand firm; those who have an agenda of self gratification, regardless of truth, seek other pastures and easier prey.
