Journal Transfer: 6/25/2006 On Mentalities

Posted on July 19, 2006 by timlyg

Mentalities today have been stupefied to level that if a message is to be clearly delivered, one needs to elaborate the simplest terms, so that others could disregard the wrong understanding and be corrected on the understanding of the proper terminology.[@more@]

Journal Transfer: 6/25/2006 Grace vs Just

Posted on July 19, 2006 by timlyg

At one Sunday sermon I heard the statement:

"God's grace is greater than His Just"?

Nay, Do not mix mercy and righteousness as a single subject. For even such is perversion.

Book: Good Morning, Holy Spirit

Posted on July 17, 2006 by timlyg

Page 134: "Can you see God the Father in heaven saying to the Spirit, "Take my Son and make Him flesh"? It was the miracle of miracles. The Holy Spirit took that seed and placed it within Mary's body. But not only was He the Father of the Lord, He was also the one who anointed Him."

Benny Hinn had perverted the words of God, making such blasphemous statement due to a messy concept of the Holy Trinity.

Everytime I see something like this, I remember someone once quoted Augustine: Lord, those who gain in their curiosity, will they lose in their pride.

Form of Baptism

Posted on July 14, 2006 by timlyg

Here is an example of how ancient culture perceive Baptism around Jesus' time. The same terminology, why then is it not submerged?

Yes, eventhough the root meaning of Baptizmo is submerged, it is used for other meanings such as wash, sprinkling, and rituals such as this picture of early first century.

Value of American Citizenship

Posted on July 12, 2006 by timlyg

The USA is the most financially indebted country in the world. "欠债国之民".

Why would I get myself involve into this if I don't have to? Not even if President Bush kneels before me.

Havana, beware of them

Posted on July 11, 2006 by timlyg

Not the place...nor the people of the place.

It is the term I use for two persons. It is not wise to mingle with the like of such.

For they dwell on worldly matter.

Strange, some preacher seems more fitting to be in the least challenging environment, yet bringing corrupted ideas and worldly pleasures mixed with theology to the challenging field as if he could triumph.[@more@]

Strategic Attack

It's best to attack the obvious weakness first, then the least after the formal has failed.[@more@]
