To: Berry Picker who wrote (35560 ) 9/5/2003 11:39:54 PM From: Jamey Read Replies (4) | Respond to of 39621 Different folks-different strokes (G) I have come to realize the truth in all of Christ's Words but especially the truth of this: Romans 3 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; There is no flesh justified before God, especially on this damnable thread where heathen lie in wait for the truth to be spoken. Then, lest some listen, and know the truth, they become a spectacle and draw away the truth so that none may see. Their talk is libelous slander and insults that only a follower of the Devil could muster. In that way, it is plain for me to see that this should not be so. There is a time for keeping your mouth shut and a time to stand up for the good name of a Christian who God has given the ability to teach the word, in and out of season- to all who will listen. Don't you know that this pervert has even suggested that we wanted to sleep together? If anyone needs to shut their mouth, let it be the slanderers who hurl vomit in the sight of Christ. James
