So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God **THROUGH FAITH**!!

**THE FATHER LOVES HIS FAITHUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS**

It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. **LOVE** never fails!!"

I John 4:7-12: Dear friends, let us **LOVE** one another, for **LOVE** comes from God. Everyone who **LOVES** has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not **LOVE** does not know God, because God is **LOVE**. This is how God showed His **LOVE**among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is **LOVE**, not that we **LOVED** God, but that He **LOVED** us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so **LOVED** us, we ought to **LOVE** one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we **LOVE** one another, God lives in us and His **LOVE** is made complete in us!
Romans 8:35,37-39: Who shall separate us from the **LOVE** of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...We are more than conquerors through Him who **LOVED** us!

WOW . . . prophetic . . . Satan (your master) must be absolutely tickled pink and proud of you all to hell for all the negativity you have successfully created so far . . . just one question; Is that how you get aroused or attempt to justify your otherwise meaningless and parasitic existence? Know this, we got your "number", and I for one, will no longer be drawn into your "cut and paste" dribble. Come Judgment day, may the Lord have mercy on your soul.
Matthew 18:6, 7
Luke 17:1, 2
AS for "needsafriend7", "Teddyhug", "cupcakeme" and "sadlup", my advice to you is simply . . . "out of sight - out of mind" if you see his "handle" at any forum ... don't go there.
I Peter 1:23-25: You have been **BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE LIVING AND ENDURING **WORD OF GOD**!! All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the **WORD OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER**. And this is the **WORD** that was preached to you.
Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
2 Timothy 3:15,16: 4:1,2: You have known the **HOLY SCRIPTURES**, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. **ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!! {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT AND NEW TESTAMENT**!!} Be prepared in season and out of season; **CORRECT**, **REBUKE** and **ENCOURAGE**--with great patience and careful instruction.. For the time will come when people {Like *SAD*lup} will not put up with sound doctrine!!
