Bible Note: sniper, Praise Him from the mountain tops! Praise Him from the valleys! Praise Him from the bottom of the seas! Let the praise of the Lord our God be heard throughout the earth! Praise the name of the Lord! I agree with you that we have a responsibility to check everything against scripture. No, I do not belive that we should follow the teachings of all older men just because they are older. The way I understand it, Peter is writing to the churches just as all the others; Paul, James, Jihn, and the author of Hebrews. To me Peter is speaking to the younger men in the body of Christ about the older men in the body of Christ. I believe in my previous posting I wrote "elder in Christ", Did I not? I still regret ever entering this discussion but I love little ones so much that when I see anything posted to the forum that asks of their salvation, I just cannot help but jump in somewhere. I think, no, I know that I have learned my lesson this time. I will continue to pray to the Lord my God for them (see the scriptures below). I'M NOT AT ALL DECLARING THAT MY PRAYERS WILL SAVE CHILDREN, no, only God can do that. From the discussions I've had in the past, I do not think that it is for me to know the exact answer. If I did maybe I would have been too relaxed in teaching my little ones about Jesus. I started talking to my daughter and my grandchildren about Jesus Christ and God our Father the very first time I saw them which was the day they were born. I did also and still do pray for them and all other shildren as well. I will continue to pray to my father for children without ceasing, but, I always end with "Not my will but your will be done." Not that He needs me to say it, I just know that His will is perfect. Luke 11:5 Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves; Luke 11:6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; Luke 11:7 and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.' Luke 11:8 "I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs. Luke 11:9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Luke 11:10 "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Luke 11:11 "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Luke 11:12 "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?" Blessings to you sniper! Always your brother in prayer and praise and in Christ our Lord, David (Cyclist) I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
