   Well, instead of gifting us from afar in your "reparte," you could try   
   simply asking and speaking directly to the people you zeroed in on and   
   subjected to your divine disconnection?   
      
   You're welcome. :-).   
      
   Now you know my problem and why I am the bad boy: it is called the   
   simple truth. :-).   
      
      
      
      
      
   In the Name of Jesus   
      
      
   --   
   God is God in all His Being. All the glory is His, for He is all glory.   
      
   Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord. John   
   10:30  I and Father are one. If you can't see that the Lord Jesus is the   
   everlasting Father you are not born again and can't see the Kingdom of God.   
      
   Colossians 2:9  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.   
      
   Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were   
   YET sinners, Christ died for us.   
      
   Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it   
   is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.   
      
   Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt   
   are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.   
      
   Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that   
   hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.   
      
   "To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."   
      
   "If God is not first in everything, He is not first in anything."   
      
   "What makes the bible the truth? The resonance (voice, the Person) of   
   God. When you find Him you have found the author."   
      
   "All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving   
   God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,   
   sin is not what you do; it is what you are."   
      
   "Compromise will condemn you."   
      
   "There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."   
      
   "My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."   
      
   "You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to   
   know that?"   
      
   "The way of truth is the testimony of life."   
      
   "I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall   
   where God intends."   
      
   "Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."   
      
   "You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all   
   live, by faith."   
      
   "It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."   
      
   "Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look   
   ahead."   
      
   "You cannot be free, and free indeed with guilt in your heart."   
      
   "Priority is everything."   
      
   "The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."   
      
   "There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander   
   it or to place it where it truly belongs."   
      
   "An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."   
      
   "Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to   
   an ignorant straw man."   
      
   "Wait, rest, be still, and know."   
      
   "No man can wash his own hands!!!"   
      
   "I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,   
   and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."   
      
   "The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the   
   obvious). So no evidence or proof is to be found."   
      
   "The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."   
      
   "Man is not the centre of being."   
      
   "Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."   
      
   "And then the Lord said, "I see everything."   
      
   "Man has no greater idol than his own will."   
      
   "Where is God hiding? He isn't."   
      
   "If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."   
      
   "You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's   
   willingness to believe."   
      
   "Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,   
   and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."   
      
   "The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always   
   full of hope."   
      
   "The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass   
   through it so that a sinner could play God."   
      
   "A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."   
      
   "No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such   
   is the love of God."   
      
   "The definition of an atheist: a man full of bluster and bullshit in his   
   meaninglessness pretending he is the meaning of life."   
      
   "Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is   
   still according to my power," says the Lord.   
      
   "What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in   
   order to explain the existence of existence."   
      
   "Unless you do all because He is who He is, all your religion is in vain."
