I believe in the six day creation and that God is big enough and powerful enough not to need millions of years to do something as amazing as create the entire universe and everything in it. I'm often shocked when I hear people, who are leaders in the church, discount a literal creation. I agree with Ken Ham that this is where it all begins and if we don't believe Genesis, how can we believe the rest of the Bible? I'm interested in seeing this movie to see what others have to say.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933151221303852076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35538712.post-48139176986723424332015-02-08T03:02:36.145-05:002015-02-08T03:02:36.145-05:00Thought provoking post!

Matthew 2:3. The Magi must have been asking all around Jerusalem about this "one who has been born king of the Jews" before Herod sent for them. What a buzz they must have stirred up! A people under the oppression of the Roman Empire would be very disturbed by any message that might stir up Rome's anger against them and deepen their troubles. Also, for the faithful remnant who eagerly awaited their Messiah, this would be a message that would put them on the edge of their seats - I think agitated would describe this feeling as well! How exciting to think that deliverance might be at hand. Little did they know...<br /><br />I'm curious to know people's thoughts on the fact that the genealogy in chapter 1 follows Joseph's line. Since Joseph is not Jesus's biological father, what is its real significance? Was Mary of the same line?<br /><br />JanaJanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411872976794307838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35538712.post-3395664944315495912012-05-08T22:50:52.545-04:002012-05-08T22:50:52.545-04:00OK, not sure why the link won't work for me......OK, not sure why the link won't work for me...<br /><br />If you want to read this entry, just go to the search bar and put in "baptize with Holy Spirit," and it should pull up a post from 2007.<br /><br />That's the one that I was trying to link.<br /><br />Blessings!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587437772555795721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35538712.post-21540258445547805982012-05-08T21:03:19.045-04:002012-05-08T21:03:19.045-04:00Hey everyone...I just sent this note to Jamiee on ...Hey everyone...I just sent this note to Jamiee on Facebook before posting it here, and with her permission I'm sharing it with you now...<br /><br /><br />I just want to share one thing with you...know that the MSG is not a Bible, and that Eugene Peterson reportedly said he didn't write it to be considered a version. His plan, as I understand it, was that it be used as more of a commentary/paraphrase..<br /><br />There are some things in the Message that cannot be linked back to the original languages...as in the place in the New Testament where he calls God the "God of green hope." Romans 15:13 <br /><br />Some research done on the God of green hope points to this being a new-age god. <br /><br />There are also many other places of concern in it...just wanted to tell you bc I love you.<br /><br />I didn't want to post this to the blog without your permission though, because it's not my heart to do anything but share the truth in love.<br /><br />Was this loving?<br /><br />I hope so, because I DO LOVE YOU!!!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587437772555795721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35538712.post-68097805345237784022012-05-08T20:43:07.778-04:002012-05-08T20:43:07.778-04:00Hey Jamiee,
