Some new Dr. Strange movie. Others just evil looking action went by so fast. Some preview show called noovie. Com nothing memorable or familiar.
Suffering opens your eyes when you may have been blind to things you did no see before. It also will give you more hope than you ever thought you could have. And it does change the course of your life for better or worse. It is always your choice.
I have always liked Mark and I could like him even better if this film is true to his talents.
He seems like someone with whom I would like to share a drink.
Heard this rationalization of appeal to the crass before. Defecating is also authentic to characters and humans, but which does not justify including it any more than is does profanity, vulgarity and sensuality. And the former add nothing more to the conversation than passing gas does.
Which is in addition to conversion to Catholicism usually meaning ending up in Hell due to belief in a false gospel and lack of actual regeneration.
Rather, God does indeed send suffering, either in judgment upon the impenitent (ask ol Pharaoh of Moses time) or to teach obedience or turn souls to repentance, often by using the devil to do so.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. (Exodus 7:4)
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. (1 Chronicles 21:11-12)
Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: (Psalms 17:13)
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. (Revelation 2:22)
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. (Hebrews 12:6-8)
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:32)
A powerful movie with a raw quality quite faithfully based upon a true story.
I was going to mention the Hebrews 12 passage. And the KJV pulls no punches; their translation of 12:8 is true to the Greek.
Young people use the F word more in one sentence than I have in my entire life, they'll be O.K.
which movie?
He has come up from some ‘gritty’ circumstances as well.
THAT’s the title I was searching for!
6 years ago I posted a thread on it, describing it with images, but the web site that I hosted them on is now changed.
"You should mark this day on your calendar. You and I agree on something! I was going to mention the Hebrews 12 passage. And the KJV pulls no punches; their translation of 12:8 is true to the Greek."
Yes, and thus it is the absence of such correction, which takes place in this life, is what is of concern.
"But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." (1 Corinthians 11:32)
