Good Morning Jane and all: Well, thank the Lord for Chapter 30 of Deut. which tells us of the wonderful grace and long-suffering of our God. It is He who sets before us life and death. I and my household choose LIFE, even Him who declares "I am the resurrection and the Life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live". Betty Malz has written a marvelous book entitled "My Glimpse of Eternity". Her story is incredible. She was legally dead for 28 minutes, approached the gates of pearl, and sang along with the hosts of heaven. Given the choice to return to earth by the Lord to be with her praying father, she decided to return. The scripture above (John 11: 25) had been read to her by a visitor to her room several days earlier. When she returned to her body, these words were wafting through the window and over her bed. She reached up and seized them with her hand. She was miraculously cured from a state of total body failure due to gangrene infection. Besides giving us a little glimpse of heaven, the book teaches how important our words and prayers are when visiting sick people. We should pronounce to them life, not death. We should not pray with resignation "Oh, Lord, she is so sick, but Thy will be done." (translation: we think that they are too far gone to be healed and will surely die). Instead, we should pronounce the promises of God to them and let the Lord and the sick person take things from there. Shalom: Lee

<<she's baaaaaaaa - aaaack>> . . . from where? No Jane, I've yet to read Det. 28. I . . I . .I wasn't sure why I'd want to. But if it means that much to you, I will. I'll get back to you sometime this weekend if...IF... something about it strikes me as worth commenting on. Sometimes I think some us just deserve to go to hell, but I'd sure hate to see that happen to the majority which have not drank from the well of Christ's love and forgiveness. <<Sea of Forgetfulness>> Maybe God forgot, but I didn't. That is the problem. (Don't say it and don't ask what don't is). Besides, how can sin be sin if it is fun. Wish there was a more neutral area where we could talk . . . publicly. Later (now see what you did, I just said four paragraphs more than I wanted to)

Okay, Jane, I've finished my reading lesson. I'm not so sure I've actually witnessed such as was described in Det. 28, but it does seem to ring true with regard to Africa in some places. Just an observation, not really pointing any fingers. As I've stated before, I don't really keep up with this thread as much as I used to. Its almost an irony of sorts. I used to read it often, but rarely posted. Now I post, but rarely read. BTW, quite the informative post by Alan's wife, Nancy. We truely know very little of each other's beliefs and how the Word of God is applied to those beliefs. Anyway, with regard to Det. 28, I believe there is a post somewhere on this myriad of posts which historically applies to this particular chapter, but don't ask me which one. I'm thinking it may have been posted by Emile somewhere around the time when many (me included) were afraid that Steve had left us because of a rift which had developed. I just hope that same rift isn't going to rear its egotistical head again (OKAY GUYS!?). Ask Emile if he can find it for you. I kind of have an idea as to when it might have been, but my reference point is on another thread as far as date goes. I'll look and post back in a few minutes. Then maybe someone else can find the post where the Jewish people were so set upon by their captors that they actually ate the bodies of others to survive. I'm no historian by any stretch of the imagination, but it was an interesting post to say the least and also quite lengthy if I remember correctly. Another time, another place, maybe

Well Jane, I found the reference point I was looking for (finally), then thought perhaps I might be able to find the specific post because if I remember correctly there was a lot of bad mouthing going on at the time and I'm not so sure it would be a good idea to try to find the number I'm looking for after all. Emile is probably the one to ask. If you're into the sufferings of the Saints though, I ran accross #5736 which might interest you. To Robert, Just read your post. It seems to me, if I remember correctly, that the # posted by Emile with regard to a siege which the Jewish people were laid waste was a city I had not heard of before. Nor am I familiar with what you also are refering. My memory is very sketchy when it comes to actual history after Christ's crucifixtion. Don't care to elaborate as to why. Best of luck in your debate
