      This is awesome, and so deep!

      [Psa 118:21-29 ESV] 21 I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. 27 The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! 28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. 29 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

      You will love what you spend time with.

        Y’ALL!!! Don’t you love it when the Bible quotes the Bible. LOL (Also really cool, Look up the word translated salvation. Does it sound familiar? Psalm 118 is so cool when it comes to prophesies!!!)

        [Exo 15:2 KJV] 2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

        [Psa 118:14 KJV] 14 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

        [Isa 12:2 KJV] 2 Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation.

        You will love what you spend time with.

          If so, then I believe there is a pretty good precedence to do so.

          If not, then we likely shouldn’t do it either.

            I’ll answer your question with a question. 😉

            Did Peter, Philip, Stephen, Paul, Priscilla and Aquila, or ultimately Jesus tell anyone that their religion was false or that their god doesn’t exist?

              Edit:*

              Slowly, the girl opened the door, peeked out, then looked back at me.

              “Prince Adam?”

              I nodded slowly.

              “Uh, yes.”

              She smiled ever so slightly.

              “Sorry.”

              And with that, she was gone.

                @stephie @whalekeeper

                I agree with @freed_and_redeemed that God definitely is still using speaking in tongues, miracles, and prophecy is church today!!! 😁

                Though, I do also believe that if you don’t speak in tongues, you don’t have Gods Spirit dwelling in you (Haven’t been born of the Spirit/baptized with the Spirit/by fire.) I can go into detail if you want, but it might get long. (I can ramble. 😬😉)

                I think that a lot of people confuse speaking in tongues (Just personally praying in tongues to yourself and to God) and tongues and interpret (A message from God for a specific group, moment, situation.) This Tuesday I listened/watched a live service from a conference in Louisiana that was powerful and had examples of both. If you are interested https://www.youtube.com/live/uS0RI51NN5Y?si=fMq7WWh2335F8oY3  Praying/speaking in tongues happened all throughout service, but tongues and interpret went forth at a little after 2:40:00 (It seemed to be one of the longest ones I’ve heard)  I want to say there also was a good example of part of what Paul meant in 1Co 14:27 (If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret.) It sounded like two gentlemen started interpreting different parts of the message at the same time, and the preacher quickly told one to wait.

                  It isn’t a list of “dos and don’ts” and it’s not just “a” religion, it’s the TRUTH.

                  YES! I like that! Not “a”, but “the”! 😁

                    big Jonathan fan.


                    @whalekeeper

                    (Jonathan is my middle name!!!) I love. . . and yet am disappointed with him. His story hurts me. 🥹

                      1) Oneness, Apostolic, Pentecost, Holiness, Baptist, Jesus name, Christians! 😆 (United Pentecost Church International (UPCI))

                      2) I have been blessed to have been raised in this awesomely beautiful truth!

                      3) 66

                      4) All my immediate family, both sets of grandparents, all my aunts and uncles, and all my first cousins. (Not all of them attending churches in the UPCI fellowship, but our churchs share beliefs on major issues.)

                      5) By sacraments, are you referring to what I believe a person does to be saved?

                      I believe a person needs to obey the gospel by repenting, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Being born of the water), recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues (being born of the Spirit), and then live a righteous and holy life.

                      6) Jesus is the head of the body (the church), but the UPCI does elect a General Superintendent, which position is currently held in the U.S. by Dr. David K. Bernard.

                      7) Three of my favorites are Timothy, Peter, and David.

                      8) Attending North American Youth Conference (NAYC25!!!!) biannually is pretty cool, though I also have a soft place in my heart for Bible Quizzing events.

                        Just imagine if we had a massive sun flare that struck the earth with a cataclysmic EMP and completely destroyed all electronics/electronically stored data.

                        We would be so free. 😕

                          Do I indeed sense a slight of sarcasm?

                          *Tsk tsk*

                          Not honoring your elders I fathom. 🙄

                           

                           

                          Thou art mistaken. I happen to be well beyond 97. 😌

                            Ppppffffffff! 🙄😏

                            Babies! 👶

                            The whole lot of ya’ll!

                            Just wait till you’re old, withered, and decrepit like myself. Wisdom may come with age, but beauty doesn’t.

                              tastes like strawberry!

                                🤣 Boring books!? Kate DiCamillo wrote the Mercy Watson series! 😂

                                I will admit that I have seen several of Dicamillo’s book that caught my interest while browsing, but their descriptions seemed kinda pain filled, and I’m not particularly interested in more woe in my life.

                                Have you read Beverly, Right Here, Louisiana’s Way Home, or Raymie Nightingale? They have interestingly done covers.
