But are we not commanded by God to pray for our "Brothers and sisters" through out the world. we do have brothers and sisters in Christ who are Palestinians and Israeli's living in Israel. and they are suffering very bad. Since i am not a christian, but a Child of The Living, My Father has put it in me and commanded me to pray for my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. When they suffer i suffer and in a sense I fell their pain. :pensive:
 
(1 Peter5)
"Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him,standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the World are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. [being attacked by the devil]

Acts 14:22
strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. "We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.
Hebrews 12:8
If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

Zechariah 3:2-4
And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? …

I am not a christian :pensive: and don't want anyone to call me one. I would be greatly offended. I know what i am better than anyone else. But my Father Knows who I am. And that is the only thing that matters.:pensive:
 
So far the death toll in Gaza is 113 and the number killed in Israel is 6.

Being supportive of a nation should not mean being uncritically supportive of all its actions.

I'm praying for peace and for all sides to step away from violence.
 
For I see the judgment of GOD among all the "nations" My prayer is for my Brothers and sisters that are in "Christ" and the ones who will be. For i do believe this is also the Will of Our Father. Because they are going to need it:pensive: For the persecution of this world that is coming upon them, they are going to need it. "The World, The Flesh, and Satan" upon The True "Children of GOD"right in the mist of "tribulation". Especially my brother and sisters in Christ that Live among The surroundings Of "Jerusalem". For the christians views of this matter is not, the same as "The True Sons of GOD's" view, it is different. The Christian view is mostly a "world's view" But The Sons of GOD view is entirely different as the "Day is to Night"! And It cannot be explain, for the city is nothing more that stone upon stone, but something else is taken place here.:pensive:
Acts 14:22
strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. "We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,

The "Children of GOD" in this era will not have it easy! For Satan knows who the True "Sons of GOD" are, and He knows his days draw near!

And Jesus: (Hebrews 5)
Geneva Bible of 1587
Who in the dayes of his flesh did offer vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares vnto him, that was able to saue him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared.

Bishops' Bible of 1568
Which in the dayes of his fleshe, when he had offered vp prayers and supplications with strong crying and teares, vnto hym that was able to saue hym from death, and was hearde in that which he feared:

@ PloughBoy -- so it sounds like you equate being a Christian as being a 'world's view' but being the sons/ daughters of God as being Godly.

The term 'Christian' was at first used to ridicule those who followed Jesus Christ in the New Testament. But it 'took' as a Positive way of referring to those who were following Christ's way of living. A Christian being Christ-like.

I think you misspoke when you said "I know what I am better than anyone else" -- what you probably meant is that "I know that I'm not better than anyone else".

Our heavenly Father knows exactly who each one of us is. He knows who everyone is who Isn't one of His sons/ daughters.

Every one has a view and words of their own self, disposition, Then we have others who try to define them by their own words. For this is the way of the world it seems. I have no solid opinion of others, but many i do know, they are not like me. I am no better that others, if my speech seems harsh, it is because I am " a sinner" but saved under grace. Not by my choice, but chosen of GOD! But I know there are others who tries to define my Life and tell me who i am,

"For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God. But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual words .

"Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

PS. you miss read that because I didn't punctuated it right. sorry. We must read everything in context, my syntax is not always correct, I am no editor for sure. Post "7 "I know what i am, better than anyone else" The comma was missing. meaning "i know me better than anyone else" My bad.

You're not Christian? Do you know what the term Christian means? Not what it meant at Antioch 1950 years ago, but today in modern vernacular? And you are or would be offended if someone called you Christian? Ashamed of Christ? Kindly explain.

We are all children of God Sue, but only the born again from above are God's children, adopted into His family.

Only the born again from above are Christians.

I understand what you are saying brother, The Word Christian has been watered down like the word church.

A TRUE Christian is a follower of Christ 24/7/365 including every breath and heart beat.
 
'Christian' means 'follower of Christ', or 'of Christ'. I can't see why any of God's children should be ashamed of the name

Some people have their own view of being 'a follower of Christ'. Usually an hour on a Sunday.

A follower of Christ abides in Him and He in them, 24/7/365. It is a life think. ;)
