An Apology Regarding "The Voice"...

  dear Gumball (peace to you!)

  In all honesty Shelbmeister, I don't believe any of the diciples, Apostles, or even Jesus himself, would feel god would direct you to share about someone other than the Christ.

  First, God didn't direct me: His Son, my Lord, did.

  Nobody in the NT was directed to seek a human figure other than Jesus, since it was HE who had the sayings of eternal life.

  Second, if you got out of my post that you were to "seek" Socrates... then I SINCERELY apologize: that TRULY was not my intent. However, that I can be directed to tell the truth about a servant of God... is not "taboo." My Lord himself bore witness to the truth about John the Baptist... and others wrote about Abraham, Samson, Moses, Rahab, and more.

  Why would god direct you to encourage us to seek Socrate's wisdom rather than his own sons wisdom?

  Absolutely not! Nor did Socrates... nor did I. The post was not about Socrates wisdom, for even as he himself confessed, he had none. What he had... was given him.

  May I invite you to go back and reread the post, dear one? You know, if you have the time...

  Peace!

  Your servant and a slave of Christ (still, since the last time I posted to you, above),

  it is true... perhaps to your utter chagrin. For that, I apologize.

  The greatest of peace to you.

  that believes that all who confess to belong to the Christ do so openly and outwardly... or must. Some of us have a need and/or direction... others of us do not. Praise JAH... it is not by such things that my Lord's disciples are known, but rather it is by love. What you DON'T see posted here is only evidence that this... is not the only place to post. Otherwise, please see response to Mulan, above, and...

  peace to you.

  May the undeserved kindness and mercy of my God and Father, the Most Holy One of Israel, whose name is JAH of Armies, and the peace of His Son and Christ, my Lord, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, be upon you... you and your entire household... if you so wish it.

  I am your servant.

  Seems to me, dear Willy, that being a servant of Christ means ALWAYS saying you're sorry... if you need do... and perhaps even when you don't... in order to seek peace between you and your fellowman. I don't need to be "right," but rather, faithful and loyal. It's those things that will matter in the end.

  Peace to you!

  Steph (Peace to you!)...

  and you are doing exactly what you should be doing: inquiring of the Spirit yourself... and letting no man teach you to "know JAH," for if you keeping asking, seeking and knocking, it WILL be opened to you... and you WILL know JAH... all on your own, with only the Christ between you. Do not tire out, dear one.

  As for your interpretation of what I meant to relay... you are correct. Of course. Now you need only go and think about how is it that you KNEW that... as you always seem to do.

  The greates of love to you, my dear one... an may the undeserved kindness of our God and Father, the Most Holy One of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, come to be upon you, along with the peace of His Christ. I know that you are wishing it. May JAH through Christ grant it to be so.

  Your servant, sister and fellow slave of Christ,

  Sorry, I don't have cable. My TV gets 5 channels on a good day, 3 on a bad. I don't even have cable or DSL (still using "dial-up"). Don't have much time for all that...

  Peace!

  Socrates was not a greek philosopher at all as he was born in asia minor in the very famous biblical city of ephesus.

  Not to change the subject or anything, but I wanted to respond to Logical.

  I really want to know the truth, but I cant seem to find it. Or... maybe I already have, and its a harsh reality. That there is no fairytale. That this is all there is. I sincerely hope this is not true, because if it is then all is pointless and good is just worthless as evil ultimately prevails the way things are.

  I know this is not how things are, because of the many many wonders in the universe. All by chance? No chance. Not possible, and I dont believe that some convenient fairytale process called "evolution" created it all. Maybe humans are just incapable of understanding some things, and this is one of them.

  I feel exactly the same way.

  When I first realised that this may be all there is....then we die for good, it turned my world upsidedown. My world is still upsidedown but I'm dealing with what I have come to know.......which is very little. I'm probably better off NOT knowing the answers to lifes questions with my luck.
