So much for relying upon one's own works for justification, eh?

Do whatever He tells you.

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Do whatever He tells you.

Have you ever heard Him tell you directly -- anything? I have.

As for doing whatever He tells me, that's between Him and I, at this point, and YOU are most certainly NOT Him. Got that? However, if you have some personal testimony and witness to share, then share that.

While I'm at it, there are plenty of folks who like to ~think~ they've "been told" by Him to do any number of things -- which He did not tell them to do at all. Often people have read into, have superimposed messages onto the written Word that are simply not there (and are even refuted in wider contexts of Scripture). I don't take orders from those kind, if I can help doing so.

As for the rest; sorry, I simply won't wade through royal blue font, even though it's been darkened up through use of 'bold' htm coding.

If you are going to throw large passages of Scripture at people on this forum, prior to weaponization of it, do a little work, as in supplying explanatory intro towards how you desire whatever it is you are citing should apply in context of the conversation.

Or keep throwing out-of-context chunks of Scripture at people--driving away untold numbers of people from whatever else it is you may have that could be worthwhile (and of Him) provided there is any truly from Him which you have.

Misapplications, and vain usages of His word, or not "of" Him. That kind of stuff is coming from somewhere else.

Paragraphs are your friends.

Along with easier to read color font.

bd makes a great point, as does mhgintn about your posts.

Many people have requested in the past that you make your Scripture easier to read and yet you have not.

I also don’t even bother reading your Scripture gloms nor your posts. Especially when they are glommed together in a way that makes it appear that Scripture is saying something it doesn’t really say. That is duplicitous.

And since people won’t because of your lack of courtesy, you might as well not even bother wasting your time posting them any more.
