"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify." (1 Corinthians 10:23)

 

 

We also know that the Son of God is coming and has given us understanding to recognize the true; and we are in the true, in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, beware of idols. 1 John 5:20

QUOTE FROM THE POST: IT'S NOT ABOUT A FATHER WHO FORBIDS, IT'S ABOUT A FATHER WHO LOVES.

In a relationship with God, it is not just about following rules or obeying commandments, but about understanding the deep love He has for us. He does not forbid us on a whim, but guides us with love and wisdom to what is best for our lives.

When we understand the love of the Heavenly Father, we realize that his guidance and direction are to protect us and lead us to a full and abundant life. He loves us unconditionally and wants us to live according to his principles, not to deprive us of something, but to free us from everything that takes us away from Him.

Therefore, may we see God's love in all his instructions and follow his paths with confidence and gratitude. May every step we take be shaped by the Father's love and bring us closer to Him, experiencing the true freedom that comes from His love. #LoveOfTheFather #DivineDirection #AbundantLife

COLOSSIANS 1

 

3 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you,

4 For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints;

5 Because of the hope that is reserved for you in heaven, which you heard before through the word of truth of the gospel,

6 Which has come to you, as it is to the whole world; and it is already bearing fruit, as it has also among you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

7 As you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ to you,

8 Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard, have not ceased to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10 That ye may walk worthy before the Lord, pleasing him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 Strengthened in all strength, according to the might of His glory, in all patience, and longsuffering with joy;

12 Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us fit to share in the inheritance of the saints in light;

13 Who brought us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins;

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. Everything was created by him and for him.

17 And he is before all things, and through him all things hold together.

18 And he is the head of the body, of the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from the dead, so that he may have preeminence in everything.

19 For it pleased the Father that all the fullness should dwell in him,

20 And having made peace through him through the blood of his cross, he would reconcile all things to himself through him, both things on earth and things in heaven.

21 You also, who were once strangers and enemies in mind because of your evil deeds, he has now reconciled you

22 In the body of his flesh by death, to present you holy, blameless and blameless before him,

23 If indeed you remain grounded and firm in the faith, and do not move away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, am made a minister.

24 Now I rejoice in what I suffer for you, and in my flesh I fulfill the rest of the sufferings of Christ, for his body, which is the church;

25 Of whom I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me among you, to fulfill the word of God;

26 The mystery which has been hidden from all ages, and from all generations, and which has now been made manifest to his saints;

27 To whom God would make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

28 Whom we proclaim, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Jesus Christ;

29 And for this purpose also I labor, fighting according to his power, which works mightily in me.

ROMANS 10

8 But what does it say? The word is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart; This is the word of faith, which we preach,

9 To wit: If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes for righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses for salvation.

11 For the Scripture says: Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.

 

 

1 JOHN 5

 

20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know the True; and in what is true we are, that is, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

21 Little children, beware of idols. Amen.

 

 Idolatry is a great danger. It leads us to worship things other than God. Only God deserves our worship. Nothing is more important than loving God above all things.

Idolatry is not just worshiping other gods or lifeless images. Idolatry is putting anything above God in our lives. We can idolize a person, a job, a political party, money... To avoid idolatry, we must always put God first, in everything we do.

"You shall have no other gods besides me. "You shall not make for yourself any idol, any image of anything in heaven, on earth, or in the waters under the earth.

eyes, but cannot see; they have ears but cannot hear;

feet, but cannot walk;

and they do not make any sound with their throat. Become like them those who make them

and all who trust in them.

Now say to them, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: idols in his heart and put an ungodly stumbling block before his face and then go to consult a prophet, I the Lord, I myself, will answer him according to their idolatry. This I will do to win back the hearts of the nation of Israel, which abandoned me in exchange of their idols. "Therefore say to the nation of Israel: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent! Turn away from your idols and renounce all detestable practices! "When any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel separates himself from me, sets up idols in his heart and puts an ungodly stumbling block before him, and then goes to a prophet to inquire of me, I, the Lord, I myself will answer him . I will set my face against that man and will make him an example and an object of ridicule. I will cut him off from among my people. prophecy, I, the Lord, will have deceived that prophet and will stretch out my arm against him and destroy him, removing him from among my people Israel.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PIG TO HIS ESTEEMED DEVOURERS

•I eat my own offspring if they are weak and sickly.

• I eat my own feces.

• I will eat the corpse of a dead human, dog, rats, whatever you want.

• I'm a four-legged garbage disposal.

• I have one of the poorest digestive systems known to man.

• God warned you not to eat me or even touch my carcass, so I am not the “other white meat.”

• I eat poisonous snakes and they bite me but they can't hurt me because their venom goes directly to my fat cells.

• I am raised in a cage in modern processing facilities, which stresses me out and drives me crazy.

• I chew on the bars of my cages until my face is a bloody mess.

• I hope you know that the parasites and worms in my meat are so strong that it is almost impossible to kill them all while cooking me to eat, I am an abundant habitation of trichinosis, taeniasis, parasites that can make your life a waste.

• I have almost nothing left to feed you when you finish cooking me to "recommended temperature." You might as well eat the sole of your shoe.

• I find it hard to believe that you are unaware that our Creator never intended me to be food (meat) for you, and He informed you of this in Leviticus 11, and Deuteronomy 14. If you stop eating me, you will do well and avoid a lot of evils in your precious life.
