  I think we should have an all prayer vigil for Michelle because upon her forhead is written a name, and that name is....lost. No mystery there.

  Isaiah 28:9-13

  Whom will we teach this knowledge?

  And whom will we make to understand the message?

  Those just weaned from milk?

  Those just drawn from the breasts?

  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,

  line upon line, line upon line,

  Here a little, there a little.

  For with stammering lips and another tongue

  He will speak to this people,

  To whom He said, "This is the rest with which

  you may cause the weary to rest,"

  And, "This is the refreshing";

  Yet they would not hear.

  But the word of the LORD was to them,

  Precept upon precept, precept upon precept

  Line upon line, line upon line,

  Here a little, there a little,

  That they might go and fall backward, and be broken

  And snared and caught.

  From a psychological point of view, these chosen words are interesting.

  Matthew 19:27-30

  Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?"

  So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

  And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit everlasting life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

  Mat. 20:1-16

  For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went

  Again he went out about the sixth and nineth hour, and did likewise.

  And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, "Why have you been standing here idle all day?"

  They said to him, Because no one hired us. He said to them, "You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive."

  So when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to the steward, Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first. And when those came who where hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.

  And when they had received it, they murmered against the landowner, saying, "These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equil to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day."

  But he answered one of them and said, "Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

  Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

  "Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?"

  So the last will be first, and the first last.

  For many are called, but few are chosen."

  1 Peter 1:1-3

  Therefore, laying aside all malice, all guile, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

  1 Peter 2:9

  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

  1 Peter 2:15

  For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men- as free, yet not using your liberty as a cloak for vice, but as servants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

  Well I can see that my advice in a PM to you (in response to yours) has been well and truly UNheeded.

  (For those of you who care, I suggested that she consider her audience before continuing, and attempt to teach as her idol Jesus, with clarity and truth, if only so those who cared to receive her 'wisdom' might actually receive it.)

  I see we still have blather, piffle and nonsense spouting fluidly. Michelle, I really do think you may benefit from heading to the local congregation of JWs. It seems that you'd fit right in theocratically.

  And on that note, I am finished with this thread. Best of luck to the rest of you.

  Oh, and Brummie, ROFLMAO

  Acts 15:13-19

  And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, listen to me:

  Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

  After this I will return

  And will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen down. I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up, So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD, Even all the gentiles who are called by My name, Says the LORD who does all these things.

  Acts 22: 21

  Then He said to me, "Depart, for I will send you far from here to the Gentiles

  Acts 23:11

  But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.

  Acts 26:17

  I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, "to open the eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

  Acts 28:25

  So when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had said one word: "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, saying,

  Go to this people and say:

  Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand; And seeing you will not perceive;

  For the heart of this people has grown dull.

  Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,

  Lest they should understand with their heart and turn, So that I should heal them."

  Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!"
