She screamed:<br /><br />“Mrs. Ray, one of your babies is about to kill the other. He’s swinging a pipe!”<br /><br />(The pipe was short, and Hez had all our toys in a corner that I was crawling to get to.) <br />Rex Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976501582240117188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19615457.post-5535985326419596302021-11-24T11:04:32.652-06:002021-11-24T11:04:32.652-06:00REX RAY,

How would anything have endured, if you had not willed it? Or how would anything not called forth by you have been preserved? You spare all things, for they are yours, O Lord, you who love the living.”<br /> John 5:17: My Father is always at his work, even to this very day; and I am also working.<br /> Acts 17:28: "For in him we live and move and have our being."

It would seem to me in His "human capacity" as our Kinsman-Redeemer, the Lord Jesus "limited" His knowledge and His abilities. It's not that He couldn't know, but that He wouldn't know - voluntarily, to die as our Kinsman. That said, the Trinity and the dual nature of Jesus (God/Man) is indeed mysterious in many ways.<br />Wade Burlesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968442835088008681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19615457.post-14134357508122955572021-11-23T03:52:41.974-06:002021-11-23T03:52:41.974-06:00God said, “…Am I not everywhere in all of heaven a...God said, “…Am I not everywhere in all of heaven and earth?” (Jeremiah 23:24 Living Bible)<br /><br />Jesus said: “…I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning!” (Luke 10:18 NLT)<br /><br />Wade, can Satan’s temptation and influence be everywhere in the world at the same time, or is it like my father saying? “Man’s born to be lazy, tell lies, and steal.” <br />Rex Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976501582240117188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19615457.post-44175073888962513502021-11-22T22:25:45.786-06:002021-11-22T22:25:45.786-06:00Ruth, thank you!

My Uncle Rex’s youngest girl’s favorite son...Wade,<br /><br />My Uncle Rex’s youngest girl’s favorite song was “This is My Father’s World”. She died in China when she was 5. They told her she was going to heaven. She asked her mother, if she’d go with her. Her mother told her Jesus would be with her. Her last words were, “Mama, which one is our house?” <br /><br />The song is a beautiful song, but it’s not based on truth because <br /><br />Jesus said, “If the world hates you, remember it hated me first.” (John 15:18 NLT)<br /><br />If the world was God’s world, it would not hate his Son.<br />Rex Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976501582240117188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19615457.post-657114960538764702021-11-22T10:04:18.103-06:002021-11-22T10:04:18.103-06:00Great SongGreat SongHope for Ecuadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602300609666175936noreply@blogger.com
