2 | 7 years of tribulation? | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60940 | ||
Greetings Prayon! Thanks for your concern. There's this follow-up question I'd asked to Kalos and CDBJ which I didn't get an answer, searcher I supposed gave an answer leading to another topic. My questions are these: 1.Is the 7 years of tribulation stated in the Book of Daniel has yet to come or this is the part of the 2300 years prophecy that was fulfilled when the Messiah came? 2. For CDBJ, where did he get the less than three years for that tribulation to occur? I pray that I'll get an answer soon. Thank you! inheavenseyes |

4 | Following His Steps | Matt 16:24 | inheavenseyes | 60724 | ||
Indeed following His Footsteps is Denying Oneself as He has Denied Himself for us to follow. Giving up all Heaven has to offer for a world who did not love Him. I like how Edward Gritt put his words so"let us all, as we are called to it, take up our cross and follow Christ. There is no other way to follow him but to the cross, for he went no other way. By that cross let the world be crucified to us and us to the world. We must bear the cross if we would wear the crown. Let us commit all our interests to the divine management, in readiness cheerfully to endure whatever he shall impose who for us agonized in Gethsemane and Golgotha, and to resign whatever he shall require who gave up heaven and life for us. Let us never consent to exchange the trials which he has prepared, for thrones and kingdoms. "By patient continuance in well doing" through all self-denying scenes, let us "seek for glory and honor and immortality." And it shall "be no grief unto" us "nor offence of heart" when we come to stand on the everlasting hills, by the side of the fountain of life, inhaling immortal joys, and looking back on the trials of the wilderness. When we shall receive the high rewards of faith and patience, and find heaven the sweeter for all the deprivations of this life, it will be no grief to us that we renounced the pleasures and portion of the wicked, and continued faithful amidst all sufferings and crosses. O that the glorious prospects of eternity might smooth down all the ruffles of our impatient minds,-might nerve us with fortitude to meet all the evils with which human life is beset, to bear all with patience, and into the hands of God to give up all our interests with filial submission. Let "none of these things move" us, "neither" let us "count" our own "life dear" to us, "so that" we may "finish" our "course with joy." And then "our light affliction which is but for a moment," will work "for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," Finally, let us be supported and encouraged by the affectionate address of the risen Saviour to the church of Smyrna: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer.-Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Amen. May the grace of God help us to follow His Steps faithfully not because of the reward but because we Love Him and we want to be Like Him! Godspeed! inheavenseyes |

14 | Sin is about a broken relationship.... | Luke 15:11 | inheavenseyes | 60523 | ||
emmaus,inmyheart,timothy paul, berean49, makarios and friends, The text above is in reference to the story used below that would be from verses 11 to 32 let me share you this wonderful article in view of sin, this is from Dr. Dwight Nelson in His book Outrageous Grace. I used to define sin the way you do and i don't say they are wrong but its more excellent in the way Dr. Nelson put it, Sin is not just merely on Behavior but its on Relationship. Let's try to look on how he explained it: Lets go back to the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-31 and consider the 3 characters and their understanding of sin. The Elder Brother: What is the elder brother's understanding of sin? We read it in Luke 15:29: " Listen! for all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command." He's absolutely convince that this is what the father wants- unquestioning obedience and the absence of wrong behavior. To him, sin is wrong behavior, and if he can convince his faher that he has never done anything wrong then nothing can keep him from procuring his piece of the pie. The Younger Brother: We can read Jesus story in Luke 15:31-21: Onverse 18 it say " I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Fathre i have sinned agianst heaven and against you." Do you see what the younger brother understanding of sin?It, too, is very behavior-oriented. Ask the older brother about sin, and he would start talking about the absence of wrong behavior. Ask the yoinger brother about sin and he speaks of the absence of right behavior. Both sons are consumed with the behavioral model of sin. Both of them beleive that the way to maintain or restore a saving relationship with their father is based on behavior; The elder son feels he needs to demostrate his absence of wrong behavior; the younger son son hopes to win his father over decrying the absence of right behavior. But he father quickly demonstrates to them that they are wrong.And so we are, if we focus on behavior for our understanding of sin. Sin and the Father: Have you noticed what preoccupies the father in the story? He is not nearly concerned with the right and wrong behavior as he is with broken relationships. The boy's model for sin is behavioral- the Father's is clearly relational. If you were to ask the boys about sin, they would talk about broken behavior. But were you to ask the father about sin, broken relationships would be his list concern. The Father defines sin relationally more than behaviorally. If we are to ask if the Father in that story is just like God what then are we going to do about the classic Bible definition of sin, "Sin is the transgression of the Law" (1Jn 3:4) That is a fair question and in response ,let's reflect a moment on the nature of God's law, the ten commanments. At their eternal heart aren't all ten commands a divine protection of every relationship in this life that matter to human being? the first 4 concern our relationship with God our Creator, and the last 6 revolve around our relationships with one another. at its heart the Decalogue is a relational document. So if sin is the "transgression" or breaking one of those relationship-protecting commandments, then by definition and extension, sin is ultimately relationl. Sin is any thought or behavior that jeopardizes either our vertical relationship with God or our horizontal relationship with another human being. Sin, in the beginning and in the end is about relationships. That's when the Father hurries out of the house to each sons, relationship and not on behavior is what's on his mind. Because the pain of separation has been caused by a broken relationship more than broken behavior. Lastly, when a father's child carelessly fall down, a father isn't thinking about the falling down, but the picking up and holding close. A father knows that what changes a child is not a lecture about behavior. What changes a child is the love of a relationship. It is the way with our Father above. Look at him in this story. Why do you suppose he goes flying down the dusty road and slips the family ring back onto the finger of the prodigal son? Because a broen relationship need to be restored! And why does he hurry out of the lamplighted house into the evening shadows to be with his older son? because a broken realtionship needs to be restored. With both sons the driving motivation of the father is relational. I pray that this would help each and everyone to define what is sin really is! SIN IS ALL ABOUT A BROKEN RELATIONSHIP, WHAT DO YOU THINK? God Bless! inheavenseyes |

Makarios, I'm sorry but i guess, my question is clear. And let me say it again, Is sin just merely base on the absence of right behavior, though I supposed you've given me your answer that sin is base on behavior, am i right? I'm collecting ideas and let me say my peace later. Thanks for the answer and God Bless! inheavenseyes |
