Prayers for tonight's debate

Ironic reference.. I actually held a human brain in my hand today.. heavier than three pounds.

That's because the one you held was saturated with formaldehyde.

Now, please, in all sincerity, I ask you again to stop interrupting this thread.
 
Spare no cost for truth's sake, neither depart from it for any gain. -Proverbs 23:23

Bestow not the gifts that God has given you to get worldly riches. -Proverbs 23:4
 
Psalm 40

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
 
Creator of life and liberty, please light the fire within Dr Paul to give him Your wisdom when he speaks. Help open the hearts and mind of the people still bound to their false beliefs and idols. Help people realize that all security lies with You, Father. And with that peace, allow them to understand Ron Paul's foreign policy.

Amen

Sorry, need to be on my best behavior if i want to remain a member



Dude, God was going to let Ron fail tonight but then He stumbled upon this thread and changed His mind. ... that is, until He saw your INSOLENCE! Hopefully he has damned thee for such blasphemy.

Id +rep that but you are missing the button.
 
Psalm 44


We have heard with our ears, O God,
Our fathers have told us,
The deeds You did in their days,
In days of old:

You drove out the nations with Your hand,
But them You planted;
You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.

For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them;
But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
Because You favored them.


You are my King, O God;
Command victories for Jacob.

Through You we will push down our enemies;
Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow,
Nor shall my sword save me.

But You have saved us from our enemies,
And have put to shame those who hated us.

In God we boast all day long,
And praise Your name forever. Selah

But You have cast us off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.

You make us turn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.

You have given us up like sheep intended for food,
And have scattered us among the nations.

You sell Your people for next to nothing,
And are not enriched by selling them.

You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to those all around us.

You make us a byword among the nations,
A shaking of the head among the peoples.

My dishonor is continually before me,
And the shame of my face has covered me,

Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
Because of the enemy and the avenger.

All this has come upon us;
But we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.

Our heart has not turned back,
Nor have our steps departed from Your way;

But You have severely broken us in the place of jackals,
And covered us with the shadow of death.

If we had forgotten the name of our God,
Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

Would not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.

Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.

Why do You hide Your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression?

For our soul is bowed down to the dust;
Our body clings to the ground.

Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.
 
Nature, you broke your mold when you made Ron Paul... Well done. And please make more.
 
II Timothy 2: 25-26

In Meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken caotive by him at his will.
 
Psalm 5


Give ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my meditation.
Give heed to the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For to You I will pray.
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil dwell with You.
The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;
Their inward part is destruction;
Their throat is an open tomb;
They flatter with their tongue.
Pronounce them guilty, O God!
Let them fall by their own counsels;
Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions,
For they have rebelled against You.

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;
Let those also who love Your name
Be joyful in You.
For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
 
BTW, it is important to note in case one is not familiar, the mentions of enemies by King David in the psalms are understood in the light of Christ to refer to the demons, and not towards our neighbor, even if they fight against us. For Christ taught that we must love our enemies and pray for those who mock us and contend with us. In the same spirit, I pray Esoteric that in the future you nurture peace with those you communicate with, allow believers the freedom to share in peace and respect, and forgive me for being the sinner and hypocrit that I am.

+rep for an insightful post.

I was sent Proverbs 11:14 today:

For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisors.
 
Thank you Lord for Thy lovingkindness and bountiful mercy, which surpasses all human logic.

Glory to You, our God! Glory to You!
