  Ephesians

  by PSacramento in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ephesians is a letter in the nt, typically supposed to have ben authour by paul to the ephesians but not only the authorship is debated but so is the target audience, the ephesians part not being noted in the earliest available scriptures.. dated at around 8-100 ad and supposedly during paul's captivity, it does gives us some insight into (perhaps) 2nd generation chrisianity and paul's effect on them.. chapter 1 has some passages of note:.

  grace is given freely (we are blessed with it) by jesus ( called beloved or the one he, god, loved) -1:6. in jesus we have redemption, forgiveness of sins according to god's grace - 1:7. god's plan is to bring everything ( heaven and earth) together under jesus, god has an (unknown to us) timeline for that.

  - 1:10. we have been chosen ( are heirs), predestined according to god - 1:11 and, being the first to have hope in christ, might be for the praise of hid glory - 1:12.. 1:13 -"and you were also included when you heard the word of truth, the gospel and having believed, were marked by the holy spirit with a seal".

  We are cooking this at the fire station today, we made it a bit bigger and are smoking it instead of cooking it in the oven. We stuffed it with onion, fried bacon, bell pepper, cheese, and b-b-q sauce. The whole thing is 12,000 cal.

  Unless you need to burn them for theraputic purposes, donate them to a cult ministry.

  I agree and on that note you have a PM.

  2. experiences

  last week was finals week at the college.

  as i was studying for one of my tests i noticed this one guy (early 20s, muscular, four day beard, average college student looking) getting on the elevator next to where i was sitting.

  then i noticed he had a rather unusual tattoo.

  There was a man walking around at Six Flags over Georgia with the tetragrammaton on his shoulder....I had the same reaction, odd but interesting.
