Behind the Scenes at Livingwaters.
VIDEO 3 Check out this animated tract coming out! I can't wait to see how they finalize it! Then, you'll also get to see a visual on the comic I worked on for Ray too.
So did you fact check Ray's work or you just drawing Ray's work with the dozens and dozens of factual errors intact?
I suppose if it's like Jakes Fortune that Anna Jackson wrote for Ray you'll only get a small byline anyway, so you can just say most of the blame will be Rays. It's just a gig right?
1. My artwork is copyrighted by myself. If you want to argue with Ray Comfort, go to his blog. ;) He loves your challenges & objections. I cannot voice opinion or thought for him.. because I am Esly, not Ray.
I trust Ray because He trusts in Jesus whole-heartedly in his life. The Lord directs him in how he writes through the power of the Holy Spirit. So, I am not worried, nor shall I be. Even if he were to make a mistake, I trust that God will be Glorified in the end.
2. Paychecks will not get me into heaven. Gratefully, Jesus will! :)
"But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’” (Luke 4:4)
3. Again, Factual Accuracy depends on Intellectual Honesty & statements that are held to be true. How can you know what is true or what is false standing on your inaccurate belief?
4. Please understand Bathtub, once again that you are greatly loved by not just me, but other born-again christians who only hope for you to be saved. Your time is limited. God has allowed you to use his air & breathe it for this long. Humble yourself to Him.
Nobody's asking you for money.. or any type of selfish agenda...
Just pray to Him (Jesus) & ask Him to show you how He sees you & then show you Himself as you are. There are no strings attached.
Can I secondly say that beliefs (atheism or theism) has nothing to do with what BathTub is talking about. There are demonstrably inaccurate statements in the Origins Introduction and a large portion of the text was plagiarized. This is simply fact and anyone can verify it for themselves.
In entering into a collaborative effort with Mr. Comfort you are tacitly endorsing these things.
Seems you are only one right because you believe in God. Laws of Science (Nature) and copyright laws of Man do not apply. Interestingly enough, I believe in God and evolution... that makes me wrong in your eyes. Also interesting is that Mr. Comfort isn't passing out free Bibles he printed... would be a fringe of publishing rights with the Christian foundation. If mankind had let religions dominate the sciences as the good Christians did in the Dark Ages... we'd still be in the dark Ages. Good Luck in Life, Molly
As for Ray Comfort, everything I have worked on for him (artwork) has been legally worked on.
The Origins Introduction I have NOT worked on, but I agree with what was written from what I have read, (though, I have not finished reading it) due to the busyness of work. I did look at the link Bathtub suggested earlier. I read all of what was there & highlighted.
It does not concern me, because I know Ray is a professional author who takes the necessary steps to do his job.
@ Molly: Actually, I make mistakes Molly. I am not at all as perfect as you make me out to be, though I am very obliged at your comment. lol. If you believe in the evolutionary theory, you definitely do not agree with the Genesis account, which means that you do not believe in the word of God, which means you are an enemy of the true Holy God. You have made Him out to be a liar. And God cannot lie. So in reality, you are wrong in God's eyes, not mine. It is HIS Book, HIS word & HIS truth. I just happen to agree with God.
@ Anonymous: Show your face. Why hide your name? lol. Working for someone is not a sin. I have not displeased God in any way by using my artwork to Glorify Him.
Enemy of the True God... seems a bit harsh, but o.k. HIS book (as you call it) was written by man (no women, surprisingly). You do admit man can make mistakes, but you seem to believe that God was it's author. These stories were passed down/stolen from older religions of man, written and rewritten from the old religions we now call myths. Molly
God Himself, says He is the author of His word. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be." (Romans 8:7)
Who told you it was a myth? Have you ever checked it for yourself?
Think about this Molly.
If God can create the entire universe & everything in it, including you... Don't you think he can prevent man from making mistakes & writing down what He wants onto some paper, which are now called the "Dead Sea Scrolls"?
He is God. He lives in a dimension not bound by the Time & Space in which He has created. He is not limited to the places that we are bound to. Therefore, He has stronger abilities that our minds cannot understand.
So, if you truly believe that the Jewish prophets (the Essenes supposedly of the Dead Sea Scrolls) were correct in their writings,(God not correcting them) then why aren't you Jewish as they, and believe that Jesus (Joshua) was not a prophet of God nor the Messiah?
I am not jewish.. nor do I need to be, in order to be saved.
1. The bible refers the God of creation as the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob (who were all jewish). They believed Jesus to be the son of God. In the OT they spoke of Jesus (who was to come) as the lamb of God. (see Genesis 22:8; John 1:29)
2. Jesus/Yeshua who was slain & sacrificed as a lamb of God fulfilled the prophecies of the OT.
Jesus was known also as the great, "I Am" both in the old testament & the new....
NT: "Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." (John 8:58)
Jesus Himself revealed to be the great, "I Am". Which is referring to a God who has no beginning & no end. He was never created. He is the Alpha & Omega. He existed before time began. (Revelation 1:8)
3. Back to the ((not being jewish issue)). The bible states: ALL HAVE SINNED.
"ALL have sinned & fall short of the Glory of God." (Romans 3:9-20)
(meaning: we have all failed to live up to the perfect measurement of God that requires us to live eternally in paradise with Him.)
4. WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED ONCE WHEN WE DIE.
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment," (Hebrews 9:27)
5. "GOD IS THE GOD OF BOTH JEWS & GENTILES" (you are a gentile if you are not a jew.)
"Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? *YES, OF THE GENTILES ALSO,* since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith" (Romans 3:29-30 *EMPHASIS ADDED*)
6. JESUS WAS SENT TO EARTH TO LIVE THE PERFECT LIFE WE COULD NOT, so that we could be saved... ( see 2 Corinthians 5:21)
"..For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." (Luke 19:9,10) .
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Look at it like this Molly....
"A Legal Transaction Took Place" when Jesus died on the cross.
We broke God's laws (the 10 commandments) and Jesus paid your fine in His life's blood. This way we could walk out of the courtoom on our day of judgment because someone else paid our fine. Make sense?
If we repent & trust in Jesus ALONE to save us.. we can take part in this opportunity of His free gift & live in eternal paradise with Him. Good Person Test
, again, yes, the Hebrews await their 'lamb', but they do not believe 'Yeshua' is the 'one' or a prophet of theirs. If you believe and follow the Jewish religion (Old Testament) why is it you do not believe them still?
Bless your heart Esly, but you continue to repeat what you are told like my parrot 'Polly'.
Hey Molly. I don't follow any jewish religion.. I follow Jesus Christ who is God. You may have a hatred for His name as the bible states. But I bet you, you have no idea why you do.
Jesus said: "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil." (John 7:7)
It's not about the race of people. Didn't you read what I posted about Jews & Gentiles alike?
The New Testament is a fulfillment of the Old Testament. Nothing has been changed. The laws of God have maintained the exact same standard as it always has. PERFECTION/RIGHTEOUSNESS is what God commands. We can be *relieved* of the penalty we deserve by breaking God's laws (The 10 Commandmentsthrough JESUS.
Speaking of Jews.. Who on earth told you that they do not believe Jesus is the son of God??? Again.. an entire race does not believe the same as each other. Did you know that? There are BORN-AGAIN JEWS and there are also, UNBELIEVING JEWS. There are even atheistic Jews.
The same way that there are Americans who are "Born-Again" and many who are not. It has nothing to do with your race. We are all 1 race which is called, "Humanity".
RAY COMFORT is a JEW. Did you know that? And YES, He believes Jesus was the Son of God who rose from the dead to take away the sins of all who repent & trust in Him.
Old Testament means Old Covenant. The Old Promise that God gave us before Jesus came to this earth to save us, who is God in Human Form.
The NEW Testament has the "New Covenant" God promised to us in the Old. That's the difference. The LAW still stands for those who are not born-again.
Jesus said: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:17)
Like you. You are under the LAW. Even if you don't realize it. You most likely think it's necessary to work off your bad deeds with good deeds to other people. You also may believe that a "Murderer" or "Rapist" deserve punishment.. right? Because it's wrong.
Answer: You know it's wrong because you acknowledge that life is valuable.
Now how do you think you know that?
The Bible's Answer: God has written the law on your heart. You know it because your conscience VERIFIES that it is wrong.
"or when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them.." (Romans 2:15)
That is a verification that you KNOW in your conscience that there should be a penalty for wrong doing. Correct? You as an atheist believe in "Moralism" without God. And what that ends up being.. is "Legalism".
Once someone makes a mistake.. they are bound into a GUILTY CONSCIENCE probably till the day they die.. depending on the sin itself.
If you become born-again.. you still remember your sins & may actually mess up even.. but God sees you as righteous.. not because of what we have done.. but because we are bad people (sinners) who have been forgiven by a very good God.
If you haven't.. you are just a bad person.. with nobody to forgive you. People will look down on you. It leads to depression, suicide, etc. Which is obviously part of the devil's intent. He comes to steal, kill & destroy. He deceives you & many others into thinking that he does not exist. Waiting for you to fall in hell with him so you can be miserable with him in eternal damnation. He hates you because you were created in the likeness of God.
Sadly you are rejecting that fact.
Don't wait till you're on your death bed.. you may not get that chance. Nobody knows when their last breath will be.
No hatred at all, I respect the teachings of Buddah as well as Jesus, they were both beautiful humans. Jesus followed the teachings of the Hebrews as did his cousin John. By believing the Old Testament (the Hebrew's Book), you believe as the Jew's, no?
Happy with my beliefs and respectful of others, Molly
@ MOLLY : Well, Jesus was a Jew. So if you wanna go by that. I can tell you I do love the jews as much as I love anyone else. But it is not THEIR religion.. it is a relationship between God & humanity.
I do not AGREE with other "world views" because I respect & whole-heartedly believe what Jesus said.
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
He was very adamant about Him being the ONLY way to heaven.
Buddah had no way of ever making up for his sins. Buddhism makes no sense and will not answer the question as to *which of the millions of gods set the law of karma in motion?)
*Who judged the beings' actions & sentences them to another life of pain?
*Why were being punished for the actions they would be unable to remember?
*Was desire always a bad thing? Wasn't the desire for enlightenment still desire?
*If so how could one ever attain enlightenment?
Buddhism is all over the place & will not answer the important questions we search for as human beings. It leaves a person empty without hope.
Jesus gives you enlightenment along with salvation. He gives you all the answers to life's dilemmas.
A "coherent worldview" must be able to satisfactorily answer four questions: that of ORIGIN - How did I come into being? MEANING - What brings life meaning? MORALITY - How do I know right from wrong? and DESTINY - Where am I headed after I die?
While every major religion makes exclusive claims about truth, the Christian faith is unique in its ability to answer all four of these questions.
If you read any of the other religious/spiritual teachings of the World you'd find that they answer all those questions too... and more. You still didn't answer the question of believing the Hebrew's Old Testament as the only truth (Word of God) and not believing their prophets' words that Jesus was not a prophet nor Messiah? Jesus was yes a Jew and a follower of the Hebrew faith (remember, dear girl, there wasn't Christianity back then). If Jesus was God and perfect, why did he need to be baptized to wash away the inherent sin? Beliefs are beliefs, the 'hell-bent' will always believe what they believe is 'truth', having no room for respecting others beliefs. Fact, more people have been killed in the name of Christ than any other religion, how proud can you be of that?
"A "coherent worldview" must be able to satisfactorily answer four questions: that of ORIGIN - How did I come into being? MEANING - What brings life meaning? MORALITY - How do I know right from wrong? and DESTINY - Where am I headed after I die?
While every major religion makes exclusive claims about truth, the Christian faith is unique in its ability to answer all four of these questions."
I'm an atheist and my 'coherent worldview' can answer all four of those questions (although I don't recall the meeting where it was decided that wordviews had to answer these specific questions in order to be considered 'coherent').
Q: How did I come into being? A: When a mummy and daddy love each other very much...
Q: What brings life meaning? A: Who said life has meaning? Let's say it does, for the sake of argument. Sentient beings give themselves meaning by being alive and interacting with others around them
Q: How do I know right from wrong? A: A combination of evolved empathy, cultural teachings, philosophical reasoning and communication
Q: Where am I headed after I die? A: I plan on being donated to medical science. My consciousness will cease to exist.
I didn't say you'd like or agree with the answers, but to say that Christianity is 'unique' in its ability to answer them is clearly wrong.
@ Molly: obviously I do not. I believe the Word of God. Not some people who you are claiming to not believe Jesus as God. The bible claims Jesus is God from the beginning to the end. Old Testament to the New Testament. For anyone who disbelieves that.. is a FALSE prophet or an unbeliever.
@ EXPATTMATT: No.. ORIGIN (meaning How HUMANITY was brought into existence.)
MEANING: So basically you've just stated that everything you just said has no meaning, therefore your statement is useless doesn't hold any water because you are stating you are meaningless & so anything you say is meaningless. huh?
RIGHT & WRONG: okay.. who is in charge of who says what's right & what's wrong then? If there is a rapist who enjoys raping.. or a murderer who sees that as right because they believe the other person should die.. and someone else thinks this murderer should die.. then, who's right? This is relevant to anyone. There is no "absolute morality", only "Relativism" in your book.
DESTINY: I feel very sad for you. What a waste of time living on earth huh? Live to Die. hmm.. I think not. If that were so.. you would have no WILL to live! Your "Will" to live came from God. Because our spirits are eternal.. therefore deep down, you have a desire to keep living, and have a fear of death.
@ Molly: YES Molly, it's the TRUTH. show me what you are talking about (scripture references please!)
Molly, Christianity started when GOD created Adam the 1st man. Jesus has always been Christ, the son of God. "Christ" = "Christian". Where do you get these ideas?
He DIDN'T HAVE to get baptized. He did it to reveal the pattern we should follow. Baptism isn't needed to be saved. It's only suggested that one do so AFTER they get saved as a representation to the world of who they are. A person who has 2 minutes to live.. can still get saved without being baptized.
He washed away OUR SINS.. NOT HIS! HE HAD NONE!!! REMEMBER? He knew no sin. I stated that verse earlier.
Molly, you are wrong. People have killed because they hate christians. Not the other way around. Christians were the ones who started hospitals, charities, schools, etc. They have given the most to the poor & help more people then ANY OTHER RELIGION OUT THERE including "Atheism".. though I know most atheists deny that it is a religious cult. It is.
@ EXPATTMATT: Did you just state another meaningless answer to the life you believe is meaningless? Your logic is INVALID.. you lose. sorry.
As a fellow believer, I'll step in and say that "Bathtub" and "Anonymous" are the ones who fail to see the point and are dodging the real issue here. Let's say that Ray Comfort did in fact plagiarize- if that's true, yes, he should be taken to task on that fact. However, just because a person is a Christian does not make that person sinless, and or perfect. If that's what you want to believe about Christianity, you are bound for disappointment. The problem with most athiests or agnostics is the fact that they continually look to man for the answers instead of searching the Bible and looking to the One who IS perfect- Jesus Christ. If you look at the people in the Bible who followed Christ, did they make mistakes? Did they sin? You bet. The point here is that their lives were not continually CHARACTERIZED by sin. The issue here is with the condition of your soul and your world view. You can either continue to look to man for all of your answers OR you can look to God, His Word, and the perfect example of Jesus Christ.
"No.. ORIGIN (meaning How HUMANITY was brought into existence.)"
I'm sorry, the original question asked how 'I' came to be. Humanity was not 'brought into existence' we evolved, just like every other living thing on earth. More details can be provided on request...
"MEANING: So basically you've just stated that everything you just said has no meaning"
Er, that's not what I said at all. I said living (particularly sentient) beings give themselves and others meaning by being alive and interacting with each other. Not sure how you missed that.
"RIGHT & WRONG: okay.. who is in charge of who says what's right & what's wrong then? If there is a rapist who enjoys raping.. or a murderer who sees that as right because they believe the other person should die.. and someone else thinks this murderer should die.. then, who's right? This is relevant to anyone. There is no "absolute morality", only "Relativism" in your book"
I'm glad that people like you do believe in God, otherwise who knows what you'd be doing! Nobody is 'in charge' of what is right or wrong. You should study up on emergence and the evolution of morality - they're very interesting topics.
"DESTINY: I feel very sad for you. What a waste of time living on earth huh? Live to Die. hmm.. I think not. If that were so.. you would have no WILL to live! Your "Will" to live came from God. Because our spirits are eternal.. therefore deep down, you have a desire to keep living, and have a fear of death."
That's very patronizing of you, I must say. I could easily say the same about you, you know? This is the only life I get so it's worth living to the full. You get another, infinite life after, so what's the point in living in this one?
And no, I have no fear of death. I don't want to die painfully (who does?) but my post-life experience will be identical to my pre-life experience and that wasn't so bad.
ExPatMatt: now your just being stubborn & silly. obviously origin how I came into being.. means human existence (ORIGIN). With Atheism, it's guess work.
(Meaning) What 1st gave the 1st human drive to reproduce? You cannot answer that in atheism. Again.. it's guess work. Theoretical.
(Morality) What I find interesting is the absurd fictional stories evolutionists come up with for their ideas.
(Destiny)The point in living this one... is that I am so grateful to God.. and I'm here STILL LIVING to love & to warn people like you so that you too will not perish. My worth of life is to love & help you as Jesus did when He lovingly died on the cross for you. I will have a reward in heaven, yes.. but I care more about souls like yours who are lost without God.
If I see a blind man headed for a cliff.. the most loving thing I could do, is to warn him to not go in that direction.
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
I'd have to say.. Absolute Morals means: secure; definite; safe bounds of FOUNDATION that produce "Loving" "Caring" "Peaceful" OBEDIENCE to what is RIGHT.
Not, "up in the air" "free for anyone to decide" "up for grabs"
"now your just being stubborn & silly. obviously origin how I came into being.. means human existence (ORIGIN)."
You do like insulting people, don't you? It wasn't obvious, I apologized and answered the revised question of where humanity came from. Answer provided.
"With Atheism, it's guess work."
No, it's science.
"(Meaning) What 1st gave the 1st human drive to reproduce? You cannot answer that in atheism."
There was no 'first human', there was a smooth transition from what we would not call 'human' to what we would; every generation along that transition had a drive to reproduce, otherwise there wouldn't be a generation after them.
"Again.. it's guess work. Theoretical."
Again, not atheism and not guess work; science. Answer provided.
"(Morality) What I find interesting is the absurd fictional stories evolutionists come up with for their ideas."
So you're just going to ignore the fact that you totally ignored what I wrote and made something else up instead? This sentence of yours doesn't even make sense. There is an explanation for morality outside of theism. I said you weren't going to like or agree with these answers, but my point was that there are answers. Answer provided.
"(Destiny)The point in living this one... is that I am so grateful to God.. and I'm here STILL LIVING to love & to warn people like you so that you too will not perish. My worth of life is to love & help you as Jesus did when He lovingly died on the cross for you. I will have a reward in heaven, yes.. but I care more about souls like yours who are lost without God."
Well that's very nice for you. But if you really care about my soul, you should insult me less and converse with me more. Because, so far, I'm unconvinced of your claims and am quite happy with the reality that this life is all we get. Answer provided.
Your initial claim that Christianity is unique in answering these 4 questions is clearly incorrect.
sorry.. all.. I have not slept.. and must get some shut-eye. Sorry you arrived here so late.
ExPatMatt: I do care for you.. but remember I don't do any convincing.. that is all done by God's Holy Spirit who convicts you. So, my job is done. I've claimed him to be God before you. If you do not listen, that is your own choice. Convincing is not a christian's duty. To stand for Jesus is our christian duty.. in hopes that you might get saved.
Sorry ExPatMatt: that you do not see "Warning" as a type of Caring. If you have any children.. or someday have children.. you will know that warning them of danger is the most loving thing you could do.
@ Anonymous: Heaven is not the image that proceeds out of the 'Make-Believe' Hollywood Television & Movie screens.
Another beautiful blessing God has in-store for those who are His, is that.. There will be no need for sleep in heaven.
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
@ Bathtub: Your ways are fulfilling prophecy in the bible.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
I'm not sure if my favourite bit is the blatantly dishonest 'shiver' quote-mine, or the hilarious 'lets look at both sides' quote-mine which ends us Ray rattling off lie after lie, and never at any point is any of the 150 years of scientific research presented in any form.
I was just reading some of the comments. I remember my big struggle in life began after my mom told me I would some day i would die. I was really upset about it!!! She told me I would go to heaven. She told me that God had made me from a tini seed and that it was a miracle. She said look at that giant tree, it was a tini little seed that grew so huge! I was very disatisfied with life after learning about death. I got obbsessed about it.
Of course as I got older I had many questions. People had so many answers and opinions. That made things worse for me.
I found that praying to God asking him my questions was good because He did answer. Over time He gave me understanding and answers to my questions.
At one time in my life I had a real hard time about Hell. But over time the Holy Spirit gave me revelation. I did come to believe in hell.
I was thinking about that guy today who was in the air plane crash and had an expeirence with death. He said that the eternal seperation expierience from God was so horrible that He wouldnt even want Hitler to go there. That is so weird.
When we who are born again, reborn by the Holy spirit we have an obligation and a yearning to share the word of God with anyone who would want to hear. Jesus said..he who has ears to hear let him hear!
All the religions in the world can make a person go mad. The bible says, seek and you shall find, Knock and the door shall be open to you. Those who truley humble themselves and pray and seek God He will hear and answer them. I sought after Him with all my heart the same as you did Esly! He showed so much love and kindness to me :O)
Thanks for taking time to share, your the most loving person I know Esly Esly! Next to Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah!! Gods Only Son who gave his life as a sacrifice for our sins. He is the LAMB God. The final atoning sacrifice!
Thanks Terr, So true. God's Holy Spirit is the only one who can convince anyone of Himself. I'm only a tool for the Lord as you are. You're a sweetheart. ;) <3
BathTub, Just a heads up. This isn't the Terry that posts over at Ray's blog. It's a different one. You might know that.. but I was just confirming it.. just in case! ;)

So did you fact check Ray's work or you just drawing Ray's work with the dozens and dozens of factual errors intact?
I suppose if it's like Jakes Fortune that Anna Jackson wrote for Ray you'll only get a small byline anyway, so you can just say most of the blame will be Rays. It's just a gig right?
Did he at least remove the plagiarised pages?
See my reply to you from: http://eslycarrero.blogspot.com/2010/01/origin-of-species-book-ray-comfort.html
Wow! Impressive! I am looking forward for the finish product. Have you tried digital caricature?
So we've established that you don't respect copyright, but what about factual accuracy?
Or is 'Atheists don't got no morals' your excuse to repeating factual errors?
How far will you go for a paycheck?
1. My artwork is copyrighted by myself. If you want to argue with Ray Comfort, go to his blog. ;) He loves your challenges & objections. I cannot voice opinion or thought for him.. because I am Esly, not Ray.
I trust Ray because He trusts in Jesus whole-heartedly in his life. The Lord directs him in how he writes through the power of the Holy Spirit. So, I am not worried, nor shall I be. Even if he were to make a mistake, I trust that God will be Glorified in the end.
2. Paychecks will not get me into heaven. Gratefully, Jesus will! :)
"But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
(Luke 4:4)
3. Again, Factual Accuracy depends on Intellectual Honesty & statements that are held to be true. How can you know what is true or what is false standing on your inaccurate belief?
Good Person
4. Please understand Bathtub, once again that you are greatly loved by not just me, but other born-again christians who only hope for you to be saved. Your time is limited. God has allowed you to use his air & breathe it for this long. Humble yourself to Him.
Nobody's asking you for money.. or any type of selfish agenda...
Just pray to Him (Jesus)
& ask Him to show you how He sees you & then show you Himself as you are. There are no strings attached.
<3
Love,
Esly.
Hi Esly,
Can I first say that you're very talented.
Can I secondly say that beliefs (atheism or theism) has nothing to do with what BathTub is talking about. There are demonstrably inaccurate statements in the Origins Introduction and a large portion of the text was plagiarized. This is simply fact and anyone can verify it for themselves.
In entering into a collaborative effort with Mr. Comfort you are tacitly endorsing these things.
Does it not concern you at all?
Regards,
Matt
Seems you are only one right because you believe in God. Laws of Science (Nature) and copyright laws of Man do not apply.
Interestingly enough, I believe in God and evolution...
that makes me wrong in your eyes.
Also interesting is that Mr. Comfort isn't passing out free Bibles he printed... would be a fringe of publishing rights with the Christian foundation.
If mankind had let religions dominate the sciences as the good Christians did in the Dark Ages... we'd still be in the dark Ages.
Good Luck in Life,
Molly
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your kind words.
As for Ray Comfort, everything I have worked on for him (artwork) has been legally worked on.
The Origins Introduction I have NOT worked on, but I agree with what was written from what I have read, (though, I have not finished reading it) due to the busyness of work. I did look at the link Bathtub suggested earlier. I read all of what was there & highlighted.
It does not concern me, because I know Ray is a professional author who takes the necessary steps to do his job.
@ Molly: Actually, I make mistakes Molly. I am not at all as perfect as you make me out to be, though I am very obliged at your comment. lol.
If you believe in the evolutionary theory, you definitely do not agree with the Genesis account, which means that you do not believe in the word of God, which means you are an enemy of the true Holy God. You have made Him out to be a liar. And God cannot lie. So in reality, you are wrong in God's eyes, not mine. It is HIS Book, HIS word & HIS truth. I just happen to agree with God.
@ Anonymous:
Show your face. Why hide your name? lol. Working for someone is not a sin. I have not displeased God in any way by using my artwork to Glorify Him.
Enemy of the True God... seems a bit harsh, but o.k.
HIS book (as you call it) was written by man (no women, surprisingly).
You do admit man can make mistakes, but you seem to believe that God was it's author. These stories were passed down/stolen from older religions of man, written and rewritten from the old religions we now call myths.
Molly
@ Molly:
God Himself, says He is the author of His word.
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be."
(Romans 8:7)
Who told you it was a myth? Have you ever checked it for yourself?
Think about this Molly.
If God can create the entire universe & everything in it, including you... Don't you think he can prevent man from making mistakes & writing down what He wants onto some paper, which are now called the "Dead Sea Scrolls"?
He is God. He lives in a dimension not bound by the Time & Space in which He has created. He is not limited to the places that we are bound to. Therefore, He has stronger abilities that our minds cannot understand.
Thank you for all of your comments. I appreciated all of your insights & opinions. I am off to sleep now.
I'll keep each of you in my prayers to be blessed & shown God's mercy. <3
Love,
Esly.
So, if you truly believe that the Jewish prophets (the Essenes supposedly of the Dead Sea Scrolls) were correct in their writings,(God not correcting them) then why aren't you Jewish as they, and believe that Jesus (Joshua) was not a prophet of God nor the Messiah?
Sleep well,
Molly
I am not jewish.. nor do I need to be, in order to be saved.
1. The bible refers the God of creation as the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob (who were all jewish). They believed Jesus to be the son of God. In the OT they spoke of Jesus (who was to come) as the lamb of God. (see Genesis 22:8; John 1:29)
2. Jesus/Yeshua who was slain & sacrificed as a lamb of God fulfilled the prophecies of the OT.
Jesus was known also as the great, "I Am" both in the old testament & the new....
OT:
Exodus 3:14;
Isaiah 41:4; 10:14; 43:1-3; 10:13
NT:
"Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
(John 8:58)
Jesus Himself revealed to be the great, "I Am". Which is referring to a God who has no beginning & no end. He was never created. He is the Alpha & Omega. He existed before time began. (Revelation 1:8)
3. Back to the ((not being jewish issue)). The bible states: ALL HAVE SINNED.
"ALL have sinned & fall short of the Glory of God."
(Romans 3:9-20)
(meaning: we have all failed to live up to the perfect measurement of God that requires us to live eternally in paradise with Him.)
4. WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED ONCE WHEN WE DIE.
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,"
(Hebrews 9:27)
5. "GOD IS THE GOD OF BOTH JEWS & GENTILES" (you are a gentile if you are not a jew.)
"Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? *YES, OF THE GENTILES ALSO,* since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith"
(Romans 3:29-30 *EMPHASIS ADDED*)
6. JESUS WAS SENT TO EARTH TO LIVE THE PERFECT LIFE WE COULD NOT, so that we could be saved... ( see 2 Corinthians 5:21)
"..For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
(Luke 19:9,10) .
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
(John 3:16)
Look at it like this Molly....
"A Legal Transaction Took Place"
when Jesus died on the cross.
We broke God's laws (the 10 commandments) and Jesus paid your fine in His life's blood. This way we could walk out of the courtoom on our day of judgment because someone else paid our fine. Make sense?
If we repent & trust in Jesus ALONE to save us.. we can take part in this opportunity of His free gift & live in eternal paradise with Him.
Good Person Test
Hope this make sense.†
♥ Huggs,
Esly.
, again, yes, the Hebrews await their 'lamb', but they do not believe 'Yeshua' is the 'one' or a prophet of theirs.
If you believe and follow the Jewish religion (Old Testament) why is it you do not believe them still?
Bless your heart Esly, but you continue to repeat what you are told like my parrot 'Polly'.
Molly
Hey Molly.
I don't follow any jewish religion.. I follow Jesus Christ who is God. You may have a hatred for His name as the bible states. But I bet you, you have no idea why you do.
Jesus said:
"The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil."
(John 7:7)
It's not about the race of people. Didn't you read what I posted about Jews & Gentiles alike?
The New Testament is a fulfillment of the Old Testament. Nothing has been changed. The laws of God have maintained the exact same standard as it always has. PERFECTION/RIGHTEOUSNESS is what God commands. We can be *relieved* of the penalty we deserve by breaking God's laws (The 10 Commandmentsthrough JESUS.
Speaking of Jews..
Who on earth told you that they do not believe Jesus is the son of God??? Again.. an entire race does not believe the same as each other. Did you know that? There are BORN-AGAIN JEWS and there are also, UNBELIEVING JEWS. There are even atheistic Jews.
The same way that there are Americans who are "Born-Again" and many who are not. It has nothing to do with your race. We are all 1 race which is called, "Humanity".
RAY COMFORT is a JEW.
Did you know that? And YES, He believes Jesus was the Son of God who rose from the dead to take away the sins of all who repent & trust in Him.
Old Testament means Old Covenant. The Old Promise that God gave us before Jesus came to this earth to save us, who is God in Human Form.
The NEW Testament has the "New Covenant" God promised to us in the Old. That's the difference. The LAW still stands for those who are not born-again.
Jesus said:
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."
(Matthew 5:17)
Like you.
You are under the LAW. Even if you don't realize it. You most likely think it's necessary to work off your bad deeds with good deeds to other people. You also may believe that a "Murderer" or "Rapist" deserve punishment.. right? Because it's wrong.
Answer: You know it's wrong because you acknowledge that life is valuable.
Now how do you think you know that?
The Bible's Answer: God has written the law on your heart. You know it because your conscience VERIFIES that it is wrong.
"or when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them.."
(Romans 2:15)
That is a verification that you KNOW in your conscience that there should be a penalty for wrong doing. Correct? You as an atheist believe in "Moralism" without God. And what that ends up being.. is "Legalism".
Once someone makes a mistake.. they are bound into a GUILTY CONSCIENCE probably till the day they die.. depending on the sin itself.
If you become born-again.. you still remember your sins & may actually mess up even.. but God sees you as righteous.. not because of what we have done.. but because we are bad people (sinners) who have been forgiven by a very good God.
If you haven't.. you are just a bad person.. with nobody to forgive you. People will look down on you. It leads to depression, suicide, etc. Which is obviously part of the devil's intent. He comes to steal, kill & destroy. He deceives you & many others into thinking that he does not exist. Waiting for you to fall in hell with him so you can be miserable with him in eternal damnation. He hates you because you were created in the likeness of God.
Sadly you are rejecting that fact.
Don't wait till you're on your death bed.. you may not get that chance. Nobody knows when their last breath will be.
*praying for you*
Love,
Esly.
No hatred at all, I respect the teachings of Buddah as well as Jesus, they were both beautiful humans.
Jesus followed the teachings of the Hebrews as did his cousin John.
By believing the Old Testament (the Hebrew's Book), you believe as the Jew's, no?
Happy with my beliefs and respectful of others,
Molly
@ MOLLY :
Well, Jesus was a Jew. So if you wanna go by that. I can tell you I do love the jews as much as I love anyone else. But it is not THEIR religion.. it is a relationship between God & humanity.
I do not AGREE with other "world views" because I respect & whole-heartedly believe what Jesus said.
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
(John 14:6)
He was very adamant about Him being the ONLY way to heaven.
Buddah had no way of ever making up for his sins. Buddhism makes no sense and will not answer the question as to
*which of the millions of gods set the law of karma in motion?)
*Who judged the beings' actions & sentences them to another life of pain?
*Why were being punished for the actions they would be unable to remember?
*Was desire always a bad thing? Wasn't the desire for enlightenment still desire?
*If so how could one ever attain enlightenment?
Buddhism is all over the place & will not answer the important questions we search for as human beings. It leaves a person empty without hope.
Jesus gives you enlightenment along with salvation. He gives you all the answers to life's dilemmas.
A "coherent worldview" must be able to satisfactorily answer four questions:
that of
ORIGIN - How did I come into being?
MEANING - What brings life meaning?
MORALITY - How do I know right from wrong?
and DESTINY - Where am I headed after I die?
While every major religion makes exclusive claims about truth, the Christian faith is unique in its ability to answer all four of these questions.
If you read any of the other religious/spiritual teachings of the World you'd find that they answer all those questions too... and more.
You still didn't answer the question of believing the Hebrew's Old Testament as the only truth (Word of God) and not believing their prophets' words that Jesus was not a prophet nor Messiah?
Jesus was yes a Jew and a follower of the Hebrew faith (remember, dear girl, there wasn't Christianity back then).
If Jesus was God and perfect, why did he need to be baptized to wash away the inherent sin?
Beliefs are beliefs, the 'hell-bent' will always believe what they believe is 'truth', having no room for respecting others beliefs. Fact, more people have been killed in the name of Christ than any other religion, how proud can you be of that?
Molly
Esly,
"A "coherent worldview" must be able to satisfactorily answer four questions:
that of
ORIGIN - How did I come into being?
MEANING - What brings life meaning?
MORALITY - How do I know right from wrong?
and DESTINY - Where am I headed after I die?

I'm an atheist and my 'coherent worldview' can answer all four of those questions (although I don't recall the meeting where it was decided that wordviews had to answer these specific questions in order to be considered 'coherent').
Q: How did I come into being?
A: When a mummy and daddy love each other very much...
Q: What brings life meaning?
A: Who said life has meaning? Let's say it does, for the sake of argument. Sentient beings give themselves meaning by being alive and interacting with others around them
Q: How do I know right from wrong?
A: A combination of evolved empathy, cultural teachings, philosophical reasoning and communication
Q: Where am I headed after I die?
A: I plan on being donated to medical science. My consciousness will cease to exist.
I didn't say you'd like or agree with the answers, but to say that Christianity is 'unique' in its ability to answer them is clearly wrong.
Regards,
@ Molly: obviously I do not. I believe the Word of God. Not some people who you are claiming to not believe Jesus as God. The bible claims Jesus is God from the beginning to the end. Old Testament to the New Testament. For anyone who disbelieves that.. is a FALSE prophet or an unbeliever.
@ EXPATTMATT:
No.. ORIGIN (meaning How HUMANITY was brought into existence.)
MEANING: So basically you've just stated that everything you just said has no meaning, therefore your statement is useless doesn't hold any water because you are stating you are meaningless & so anything you say is meaningless. huh?
RIGHT & WRONG: okay.. who is in charge of who says what's right & what's wrong then? If there is a rapist who enjoys raping.. or a murderer who sees that as right because they believe the other person should die.. and someone else thinks this murderer should die.. then, who's right? This is relevant to anyone. There is no "absolute morality", only "Relativism" in your book.
DESTINY: I feel very sad for you. What a waste of time living on earth huh? Live to Die. hmm.. I think not. If that were so.. you would have no WILL to live! Your "Will" to live came from God. Because our spirits are eternal.. therefore deep down, you have a desire to keep living, and have a fear of death.
@ Molly: YES Molly, it's the TRUTH. show me what you are talking about (scripture references please!)
Molly, Christianity started when GOD created Adam the 1st man. Jesus has always been Christ, the son of God. "Christ" = "Christian". Where do you get these ideas?
He DIDN'T HAVE to get baptized. He did it to reveal the pattern we should follow. Baptism isn't needed to be saved. It's only suggested that one do so AFTER they get saved as a representation to the world of who they are. A person who has 2 minutes to live.. can still get saved without being baptized.
He washed away OUR SINS.. NOT HIS!
HE HAD NONE!!! REMEMBER? He knew no sin. I stated that verse earlier.
Molly, you are wrong. People have killed because they hate christians. Not the other way around. Christians were the ones who started hospitals, charities, schools, etc. They have given the most to the poor & help more people then ANY OTHER RELIGION OUT THERE including "Atheism".. though I know most atheists deny that it is a religious cult. It is.
@ EXPATTMATT:
Did you just state another meaningless answer to the life you believe is meaningless? Your logic is INVALID.. you lose. sorry.
As a fellow believer, I'll step in and say that "Bathtub" and "Anonymous" are the ones who fail to see the point and are dodging the real issue here. Let's say that Ray Comfort did in fact plagiarize- if that's true, yes, he should be taken to task on that fact. However, just because a person is a Christian does not make that person sinless, and or perfect. If that's what you want to believe about Christianity, you are bound for disappointment. The problem with most athiests or agnostics is the fact that they continually look to man for the answers instead of searching the Bible and looking to the One who IS perfect- Jesus Christ. If you look at the people in the Bible who followed Christ, did they make mistakes? Did they sin? You bet. The point here is that their lives were not continually CHARACTERIZED by sin. The issue here is with the condition of your soul and your world view. You can either continue to look to man for all of your answers OR you can look to God, His Word, and the perfect example of Jesus Christ.
Esly,
"No.. ORIGIN (meaning How HUMANITY was brought into existence.)"
I'm sorry, the original question asked how 'I' came to be. Humanity was not 'brought into existence' we evolved, just like every other living thing on earth. More details can be provided on request...
"MEANING: So basically you've just stated that everything you just said has no meaning"
Er, that's not what I said at all. I said living (particularly sentient) beings give themselves and others meaning by being alive and interacting with each other. Not sure how you missed that.
"RIGHT & WRONG: okay.. who is in charge of who says what's right & what's wrong then? If there is a rapist who enjoys raping.. or a murderer who sees that as right because they believe the other person should die.. and someone else thinks this murderer should die.. then, who's right? This is relevant to anyone. There is no "absolute morality", only "Relativism" in your book"
I'm glad that people like you do believe in God, otherwise who knows what you'd be doing! Nobody is 'in charge' of what is right or wrong. You should study up on emergence and the evolution of morality - they're very interesting topics.
"DESTINY: I feel very sad for you. What a waste of time living on earth huh? Live to Die. hmm.. I think not. If that were so.. you would have no WILL to live! Your "Will" to live came from God. Because our spirits are eternal.. therefore deep down, you have a desire to keep living, and have a fear of death."
That's very patronizing of you, I must say. I could easily say the same about you, you know? This is the only life I get so it's worth living to the full. You get another, infinite life after, so what's the point in living in this one?
And no, I have no fear of death. I don't want to die painfully (who does?) but my post-life experience will be identical to my pre-life experience and that wasn't so bad.
Regards,
ExPatMatt: now your just being stubborn & silly. obviously origin how I came into being.. means human existence (ORIGIN). With Atheism, it's guess work.
(Meaning) What 1st gave the 1st human drive to reproduce? You cannot answer that in atheism. Again.. it's guess work. Theoretical.
(Morality) What I find interesting is the absurd fictional stories evolutionists come up with for their ideas.
(Destiny)The point in living this one... is that I am so grateful to God.. and I'm here STILL LIVING to love & to warn people like you so that you too will not perish. My worth of life is to love & help you as Jesus did when He lovingly died on the cross for you. I will have a reward in heaven, yes.. but I care more about souls like yours who are lost without God.
If I see a blind man headed for a cliff.. the most loving thing I could do, is to warn him to not go in that direction.
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:8)
Love,
Es.
Very well said, Jimmy.
Oh Goody Esly, we were discussing this over at Trish's blog.
Can you please share with us some of those 'Absolute Morals'?
It's amazingly difficult to find out what these absolutes actually are despite them being referred to by Christians so often.
I've rephrased what I said.. to be more clear.
You asked
"What are absolute morals?"
To put it short & sweet..
and with some slang.
I'd have to say..
Absolute Morals means:
secure;
definite;
safe bounds
of FOUNDATION
that produce
"Loving"
"Caring"
"Peaceful"
OBEDIENCE to what is RIGHT.
Not,
"up in the air"
"free for anyone to decide"
"up for grabs"
Otherwise,
we'd have complete anarchy & chaos.
Esly,
Those are synonyms, not examples...
Anyway, back to our discussion;
"now your just being stubborn & silly. obviously origin how I came into being.. means human existence (ORIGIN)."
You do like insulting people, don't you? It wasn't obvious, I apologized and answered the revised question of where humanity came from. Answer provided.
"With Atheism, it's guess work."
No, it's science.
"(Meaning) What 1st gave the 1st human drive to reproduce? You cannot answer that in atheism."
There was no 'first human', there was a smooth transition from what we would not call 'human' to what we would; every generation along that transition had a drive to reproduce, otherwise there wouldn't be a generation after them.
"Again.. it's guess work. Theoretical."
Again, not atheism and not guess work; science. Answer provided.
"(Morality) What I find interesting is the absurd fictional stories evolutionists come up with for their ideas."
So you're just going to ignore the fact that you totally ignored what I wrote and made something else up instead? This sentence of yours doesn't even make sense. There is an explanation for morality outside of theism. I said you weren't going to like or agree with these answers, but my point was that there are answers. Answer provided.
"(Destiny)The point in living this one... is that I am so grateful to God.. and I'm here STILL LIVING to love & to warn people like you so that you too will not perish. My worth of life is to love & help you as Jesus did when He lovingly died on the cross for you. I will have a reward in heaven, yes.. but I care more about souls like yours who are lost without God."
Well that's very nice for you. But if you really care about my soul, you should insult me less and converse with me more. Because, so far, I'm unconvinced of your claims and am quite happy with the reality that this life is all we get. Answer provided.
Your initial claim that Christianity is unique in answering these 4 questions is clearly incorrect.
Regards,
Sorry, not synonyms, but their not examples either.
BathTub did NOT ask "What are absolute morals?" he asked;
"Can you please share with us some of those 'Absolute Morals'?"
Examples please!
Sorry what?
Examples of Absolute Morals are:
secure;
definite;
safe bounds
of FOUNDATION
that produce
"Loving"
"Caring"
"Peaceful"
OBEDIENCE to what is RIGHT.
Less sense than Heaths examples
sorry.. all.. I have not slept.. and must get some shut-eye. Sorry you arrived here so late.
ExPatMatt: I do care for you.. but remember I don't do any convincing.. that is all done by God's Holy Spirit who convicts you. So, my job is done. I've claimed him to be God before you. If you do not listen, that is your own choice. Convincing is not a christian's duty. To stand for Jesus is our christian duty.. in hopes that you might get saved.
@ Bathtub:
No less sense then
"Moral Relativity".
Love you both. You are all on my prayer list.
Have fun over at Trish & Ray's blog. ;) *huggs*
Wow, you really don't care at all do you?
I must say I'm surprised.
Yes get some sleep because your quote wasn't a quote at all. And your answer is nonsensical.
Why waste this short life sleeping when eternity awaits you, Esly.
You can sleep all you want in heaven on soft, fluffy clouds to angelic harp music.
G'Night,
Molly
NSW
Sorry ExPatMatt: that you do not see "Warning" as a type of Caring. If you have any children.. or someday have children.. you will know that warning them of danger is the most loving thing you could do.
@ Anonymous:
Heaven is not the image that proceeds out of the 'Make-Believe' Hollywood Television & Movie screens.
Another beautiful blessing God has in-store for those who are His, is that.. There will be no need for sleep in heaven.
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
(Revelation 21:4)
@ Bathtub:
Your ways are fulfilling prophecy in the bible.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."
(2 Timothy 4:3-4)
Yes yes, we all understand, people disagree with you which means your right. Disagreement = Persecution = Jesus is Lord.
It's certainly easier than actually giving a straight answer isn't it?
Of course heaven isn't in the clouds, God doesn't have a long flowing beard and angels fly...
What is heaven like dear, all knowing Esly?
Mol
Esly,
"Sorry ExPatMatt: that you do not see "Warning" as a type of Caring"
I'm sorry that you think that was what I was talking about.
Well, I see it seems that you (and Comfort, again!) have tried to link "Darwin" to Nazism.
Never mind the fact that I showed that to be totally bogus.
I guess some lies are just too useful, eh?
I'm not sure if my favourite bit is the blatantly dishonest 'shiver' quote-mine, or the hilarious 'lets look at both sides' quote-mine which ends us Ray rattling off lie after lie, and never at any point is any of the 150 years of scientific research presented in any form.
So 'both sides' for Ray is 'my side only'.
Hey Esly Esly!!
I was just reading some of the comments. I remember my big struggle in life began after my mom told me I would some day i would die.
I was really upset about it!!! She told me I would go to heaven.
She told me that God had made me from a tini seed and that it was a miracle. She said look at that giant tree, it was a tini little seed that grew so huge! I was very disatisfied with life after learning about death. I got obbsessed about it.
Of course as I got older I had many questions. People had so many answers and opinions. That made things worse for me.
I found that praying to God asking him my questions was good because He did answer. Over time He gave me understanding and answers to my questions.
At one time in my life I had a real hard time about Hell.
But over time the Holy Spirit gave me revelation. I did come to believe in hell.
I was thinking about that guy today who was in the air plane crash and had an expeirence with death. He said that the eternal seperation expierience from God was so horrible that He wouldnt even want Hitler to go there. That is so weird.
When we who are born again, reborn by the Holy spirit we have an obligation and a yearning to share the word of God with anyone who would want to hear. Jesus said..he who has ears to hear let him hear!
All the religions in the world can make a person go mad. The bible says, seek and you shall find, Knock and the door shall be open to you. Those who truley humble themselves and pray and seek God He will hear and answer them. I sought after Him with all my heart the same as you did Esly! He showed so much love and kindness to me :O)
Thanks for taking time to share, your the most loving person I know Esly Esly! Next to Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah!! Gods Only Son who gave his life as a sacrifice for our sins. He is the LAMB God. The final atoning sacrifice!
Love You so much Little Angel! Terr
The LAMB of God who take away the sin of the world!!
And as long as those paychecks keep coming in, you can lie as much as you like, right Terri?
Thanks Terr, So true. God's Holy Spirit is the only one who can convince anyone of Himself. I'm only a tool for the Lord as you are. You're a sweetheart. ;)
<3
BathTub, Just a heads up. This isn't the Terry that posts over at Ray's blog. It's a different one. You might know that.. but I was just confirming it.. just in case! ;)
