This is stolen and used without permission- just because it deserves a reply or 10. Quote momto3beagles- "I've found this, especially in the last week or so when my whole world turned upside down, that God, when you become a Christian, because He blesses people through prayer, He will make us men and women of prayer. You try to run, He'll chase you, but He will make us people of prayer. He knows how to order our lives to get our attention and then He says, "do you realize how much you need Me now?" "Oh no, Lord, I can handle this on my own!" and God says "alright, fine, when you hit the stone wall for the 32nd time, remember that you need Me."
But He's not making us people of prayer so He can say "See, I've got him/her praying", it's a Father saying, "I have all of this, and you live with such scarcity. Please, come unto Me, all ye that labour ... pray, talk, spend time, what are you so rushed for, you're running for what? Everything you need, I have, so when are we going to talk?"
Let us therefore come boldly to the Throne of Grace, that we might find grace and mercy in our time of need - Hebrews 4:16. And when you get there, watch out, because God can do exceedingly beyond what we ask or think. ----------------------------------------------- end quote "throne of Grace".... and springs to mind- Somewhere that "exceeding beyond" is found in perfection- Psalms 23. Either place- it's where God either comes to meet us- or we try to go meet Him... Why work so hard to get to the "throne of Grace" when He comes to us in the place of peace- in PS 23... easy and light- perfect- and we don't have to worry about falling before we get to the throne.  Say it again- Jesus taught us how that "exceedingly beyond" is recieved ... "my cup runeth over" kind of stuff... Who among us wants what JEsus said we can have- in our lives- if we follow only Him?..... Don't be shy- it's free from the Father- through The Son. Raise your hands... we all want God to show us the still waters... The abundant life Jesus promised- IF we follow Him........ destination Life- first stop- PS 23 to affirm His promises. Raise your hands- Jesus died so you could get there... "trust"... "obey"... "Follow me" "ABUNDANCE THAT WILL SCARE HELL OUT OF YOU". Jesus- He meant what He said. Raise your hands.... and FOLLOW HIM. 
Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.

quote you- Gordy, i do amaze myself with you, I have banned you but you have not banned me or indeed Mia. Nor will I ban you cuz doing that would be dishonest of me. Jesus set you FREEEEEEEE to speak- who am I to limit (or attempt to limit ) your freedom to speak where ever you choose? No one hates you Gordy but you are putting everyone off side with you. That's OK. What am I teaching you? THINK ABOUT IT. What are you actually learning with what you observe- and are SUPPOSED to read? It's not the message that puts you off- is it? Nope... it's how you percieve it's being delivered. So you read with BIAS and never GET THE MESSAGE... "preconcieved notions" that I purposely set up. Showing you something about how you read the bible... "preconcieved notions" about it- so you MISS IT'S TRUE MESSAGE. You cannot live the Christian life outside of the body Ah but I can. "work out YOUR OWN SALVATION IN FEAR AND TREMBLING"... Do you forget.... the vine/tree/etc is only a mind picture of something...that is a metaphore for something else. Yet the mind picture needs refined to include SEEDS- doesn't it? Yes- I can live outside the body- and I can indeed thrive in new soil- under new rain, with new everything that He decides to add or take away. New church or what ever? Nope. Not on a dare. But He does the pruning- and I Grow exactly the way I'm supposed to grow- So He can graft me somewhere He wants me to be later. Yeah- the body is corrupt... It sins all the time... I'm not supposed to be there. It's Not "JESUS body".

Mia did great- all I did was recognize a mirror/reference there I thought would go past the "throne" and into the OT where a King met with the images of PEACE and knew it was worth writing about. We say we sin- and there by can not stand in God's presence there at the throne yet... but we can follow Jesus to the meadow- and see what God has already provided IF we DID follow His Son perfectly. What is so hard to believe- if we just stay ON HIS PATHWAY right BEHIND HIM- How can we possible go wrong... even a little bit- since WE ARE DOING NOTHING BUT FILLOWING HIM PERFECTLY... right down to putting our feet directly upon His footsteps. How much easier can PERFECT OBEDIENCE be?

You as well as many others here do not recognize where Jesus was pointing as that "way" to life. And most everything He ever did or said- is found by reference- in the OT- just as we already knew. The Gospel ITSELF is taken directly from the OT- and all Jesus did with it was fine tune it, spruce it up a bit and test it out and then call 12 dudes with shady backgrounds to help Him live it (show by example) teach it (ears to hear ) and reveal it to those same 12 shady characters so they could also get the same benefits (and beter ones ) as He was getting- quite physically of course. The 4 Gosples is all I need. I can live without the OT- but it's soooooooo much better to still have it around. 4 FRIST- and then the rest. Jesus ONLY will lesd to any other TRUTH you need as a reference/explanation for what He alone was sent to teach about the OT.  And I knew you weren't miffed... a woman doesn't stick her tongue out if she's REALLY miffed... stone cold silent stare maybe... but never seen one with her tongue hangin out. "wooof"

I'll have to show this to Ken, he'll like it.
I have to agree with the Jesus and the OT thing ... although I don't believe that God would have finagled the Epistles and everything else to be included in the Holy Bible, by the word of His authority and inspiration to the amalgamaters of same, if it didn't really matter to us and our walk with Him.
Nevertheless, your delivery seems to be improving so I'll chalk one up for the beagles on that one. They seem to bring out the softie side in so many these days.

It is ALLLLLLLL referring to the OT EVEN WHEN IT REFERS TO CHRIST AND WHAT HE TAUGHT.

Well, I hate to be blunt and point out the obvious, but the NT wasn't invented yet when Christ walked this earth and conducted His ministry. So of course He wasn't teaching from the NT. 
Broad path versus narrow gate ... isn't that pretty much mostly what we need to know as Christians?

Um Hm. It IS obvious and I have said it TONS of times that even when Paul referred to "rightly divide the word of TRUTH"-- it was ONLY ABOUT THE OT. He wasn't talking about the 4 Gosples yet- nor any of his own epistles yet. OT. Our "Bibles" therefore-- are interpreted wrongly so very much of the time since Jesus pointed backwards seemingly-- while WE think the goodies are in HIS FUTURE. That "way to LIFE" is "behind HIM." now USE YOUR HEAD-- What did I JUST SAY ABOVE? FOLLOW JESUS PERFECTLY BY WALKING ON HIS PATHWAY JUST RIGHT BEHIND HIM AND EVEN PLACING YOUR FEET RIGHT IN HIS FOOTSTEPS. As to your query about "works"- EVERYDAY. I don't believe in DEAD FAITH or excuses for NOT following Christ PERFECTLY. "In His PAST". FOLLOW HIM THROUGH THE PAST. THE OT.  It's why christians never find that "WAY" cuz they NEVER UNDERSTAND JESUS.

True. Can't argue with that! Supporting my comments above, Matthew 25:31-46 is pretty clear to me - Jesus' words - although I see these 'works" as the fruits of salvation, not its roots. They're not the basis for entrance into the Kingdom of God, but moreso manifestations of God's grace in our lives. They're objective criteria for judgment because they're evidence of saving faith. See James 2:14-26 for a bit more. Faith that is without works is phony, just an empty profession, not genuine saving faith.
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Jesus taught all of this stuff... I'm just one of His Father's tools. We all say we want to be like Jesus and be such and such and what ever- and yet we iggy Jesus and follow EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ELSE. I quit following that garbage PEOPLE INVENTED ABOUT JESUS and told God I DO NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS. He said- yeah. I know.  solved my problem right there and then. DISHONESTY ABOUT FAITH IS A LIE BEFORE OUR GOD. He knows the difference between DEAD FAITH IN MEN'S DOCTRINE and absolute, PURE UNVAVERING FAITH IN HIS SON.  Like I said- Jesus is MY SAVIOR. But He DID NOT SAY I COULD LIE TO GOD ABOUT FALSE FAITH IN MEN'S DOCRINE AND GET AWAY WITH IT. Bible says NO LIARS WILL EVER EVER EVER ENTER HEAVEN.  might want to check your faith in DOCTRINE OF MEN- cuz it's killing you.  Jesus is Lord. Obey- or MISS THE KINGDOM AND LIFE. Easy once we stop LYING to God about His Son and what GOD CAN DO OR CAN NOT DO WITH US... Love ya mia- But Jesus is the LORD- God's own Son- not me. He's just my king. And I DOOOOOO obey perfectly. Every time Can't afford not to.

Now that I am up from my cat nap, what is a Christian?
There are a lot who do not behave obediently and seem to flaunt it.
Some talk a good game of it?
Some have a great appearance of being one?
If many of you are Christians, then perhaps I am not?

I only said "go take your nap" cuz I saw on your blog that was in your "ideas for the day".  The query about "are pete (or meow if you prefer ) a chriatian" is easy. You say you are. And I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO believe you. no judgment of you at all OR of your "confession" Problem is- "christian" implies KNOWING CHRIST AND FOLLOWING ONLY HIM. ALL OF HIS TEACHINGS- not just the ones you think you want to do. Sooooooooooo. Jesus says "DO the things I teach you to DOOOOOO. All of them. Don't skip over the ones you want to skip over. Don't tell me you CAN'T do them IF YOU NEVER TRIED TO DO IT MY WAY- THE WAY I TAUGHT YOU. And don't come back here if you won't FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER." Each of those things is FOUND IN HIS WORDS. Now. As CHRISTIANS in TODAYS WORLD- do we even know what He taught back then to DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? If so... why aren't we DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOing it? Cuz somebody else- taught us to DOOOOOOOOOOOOO and BELIEVE SOMETHING ELSE.  Easy wasn't it? Yeah- BY TODAY'S DEFINITION... You are a "christian"- but you don't obey Christ's own teachings PERFECTLY... Cuz Paul taught stuff that KEEPS YOU FROM CHRIST AND WHAT HE SAID. Can't follow any shepherd who's name is not JESUS- cuz they don't TEACH WHAT JESUS TAUGHT. Now... what ya gunna do... Find in the 4 Gospels that singular GOSPEL/TEACHING/Job Jesus Himself taught- or graze in someone else's pasture contentedly while actually starving to death? Easy wasn't it? No real choice left. "JEsus ALONE or LEAVEN HIS TEACHINGS WITH FALSE DOCTRINE." That help?
