Peter was bold, and had a hot temper. Satan wanted to use his temper against peter.\nPeter said grow in grace. \n11 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

One of my favorite verses, and actually one of the two verses that I try to live my life by.  The other being "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will then be given to you".\n\nThe verse "he that seeks to keep his life shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it" means to me....that the more I give up my "rights" in life, the less I go after what I think I want for myself, the more I give up pursuing the things of the "world" and the more I give up my life for Jesus to do with as He pleases...the more "myself" I truly become.\n\nI never have felt more at peace, more my true self, then when I have given up my own will and choices and asked Jesus to guide my every step, thought, word.  Funny, isn't it?  You think by serving yourself you'd get what you want in life.  I've found by serving Him first (which means, putting others first), that's when I've found true happiness and fulfillment.

It is just Holy!  And the law was necessary until Jesus became the Lamb.   Now it is grace.  So "grace us ending"

Jesus matured just like any other person who has ever lived even though he was God in human form.  The Bible states that he grew in stature and in favor with God and man.

He means did He whack on Little JC. Did he masturbate.\n\nI'd say not, they had a camp prostitute following them around. Though the bible DOES say that Jesus loved Peter, sooo...

My guess is that the saying evolved from the expression "Holy Lord!" or "Holy God!".  Over time, language has become more coarse and somebody felt like tossing in the ol' S-word instead of "God" and it stuck.

Grace(not law) unto you, and peace(not division),\nfrom God our Fathe and the Lord Jesus Christ.\n\nThe law is not of faith: Gal 3:12\n\nRe: children, the exhortation is:\n"Forbid(law) them not"\n(Mt 19; Mk 10; Lk 18)\n\nFor law is spiritual, but it's spiritual abuse.\nAnd the law is good, but it is also evil.\nDiscern(avoid) both good and evil.\n\nLaw worketh wrath: Rom 4:15\nWe are delivered from the law: Rom 7:6\nWe are to put away wrath(law): Eph 4:31\nGod hath not appt'd us unto wrath(law): 1Thes 5:9\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

I am and a man cannot be saved by the Law. \nI am and have peace in heart because Christ loves me and I love Him.\nIf u have an impression that SDAs talk a lot about the law, perhaps it is because everybody knows that we are saved by grace and small number know how much important the law is to God.\nI will share two verses from the New (not old)Testament and it is Hebrews 10. 15,16.\nWhereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,\nThis is the covenant that I will make with them after those\ndays, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts,\nand in their minds will I write them.\nGod revealed His character through His Law and we are called not to ignore it or forget it. Some would say: But Christ told us that the two major commandments are to love our God and our neighbours and I couldn't agree more. But these two commandments are, in fact, 10 commandments summarized. And if one ask him/herself: how can I love God or people around me, he/she can find the answer in 10 commandments. That is one of the reasons (for me) to uphold the law.\nAnd if somebody tells you we are saved by the law, keep believing it's wrong teaching.\nGod bless you all.

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This si the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself"

This is from Matthew Henry's Commmentary: \n\nPro 30:24-28 - \nI. Agur, having specified four things that seem great and yet are really contemptible, here specifies four things that are little and yet are very admirable, great in miniature, in which, as bishop Patrick observes, he teaches us several good lessons; as, 1. Not to admire bodily bulk, or beauty, or strength, nor to value persons or think the better of them for such advantages, but to judge of men by their wisdom and conduct, their industry and application to business, which are characters that deserve respect. 2. To admire the wisdom and power of the Creator in the smallest and most despicable animals, in an ant as much as in an elephant. 3. To blame ourselves who do not act so much for our own true interest as the meanest creatures do for theirs. 4. Not to despise the weak things of the world; there are those that are little upon the earth, poor in the world and of small account, and yet are exceedingly wise, wise for their souls and another world, and those are exceedingly wise, wiser than their neighbours. Margin, They are wise, made wise by the special instinct of nature. All that are wise to salvation are made wise by the grace of God.\nII. Those he specifies are, 1. The ants, minute animals and very weak, and yet they are very industrious in gathering proper food, and have a strange sagacity to do it in the summer, the proper time. This is so great a piece of wisdom that we may learn of them to be wise for futurity, Pro_6:6. When the ravening lions lack, and suffer hunger, the laborious ants have plenty, and know no want. 2. The conies, or, as some rather understand it, the Arabian mice, field mice, weak creatures, and very timorous, yet they have so much wisdom as to make their houses in the rocks, where they are well guarded, and their feebleness makes them take shelter in those natural fastnesses and fortifications. Sense of our own indigence and weakness should drive us to him that is a rock higher than we for shelter and support; there let us make our habitation. 3. The locusts; they are little also, and have no king, as the bees have, but they go forth all of them by bands, like an army in battle-array; and, observing such good order among themselves, it is not any inconvenience to them that they have no king. They are called God's great army (Joe_2:25); for, when he pleases, he musters, he marshals them, and wages war by them, as he did upon Egypt. They go forth all of them gathered together (so the margin); sense of weakness should engage us to keep together, that we may strengthen the hands of one another. 4. The spider, an insect, but as great an instance of industry in our houses as the ants are in the field. Spiders are very ingenious in weaving their webs with a fineness and exactness such as no art can pretend to come near: They take hold with their hands, and spin a fine thread out of their own bowels, with a great deal of art; and they are not only in poor men's cottages, but in kings' palaces, notwithstanding all the care that is there taken to destroy them. Providence wonderfully keeps up those kinds of creatures, not only which men provide not for, but which every man's hand is against and seeks the destruction of. Those that will mind their business, and take hold of it with their hands, shall be in kings' palaces; sooner or later, they will get preferment, and may go on with it, notwithstanding the difficulties and discouragements they meet with. If one well-spun web be swept away, it is but making another.\n\n\nAnd this is a commentary from my Bible:\n30:24-28   Ants...rock badgers...locusts...spider: The identified characteristics of these creatures summarize the teaching of the entire book.  The ants demonstrate foresight; the rock badgers, security; the locusts, cooperation with others; the spider, usefulness (in eliminating less desirable insects).  The alternate reasing for spider, "lizard" would be

16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,[b] the Son of the living God." \n\n 17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.\n\nFirst we need to understand what Jesus was looking for, "Who do you say I am?"  Peter answer was correct; the Christ, the Son of the living God, sooooooo...  Jesus was stating that upon this rock, or in modern day terms upon this confession He will build His church (Jesus the Son of God being the chief cornerstone of the church)  He also said "for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven".  It was a Revelation that simply put was reveled to Peter by God, and not himself\n\nother passages make clear that Jesus Himself is the foundation. The chief cornerstone was the foundational stone in ancient architecture, from which all measurements began, so every other stone was laid in relationship to the cornerstone. Clearly this position belongs to Jesus.

Sure looks that way, don't it?  I mean, the Christians even include the entire Jewish Bible in their own, along with considering the divinity of Jesus in the light of old testament prophecies which he fulfilled.  He did indeed sound like something of a reformer, but the one who actually said it was no longer necessary to follow the old Jewish law was Saul of Tarsus aka Saint Paul.  That was after Jesus had died and gone to heaven.

"One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? \n(Luke 16:10-11)

Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:17-19)\n\nThe Catholic Church believes the Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock.\n\nThe Pope is the senior pastor of 1.1 billion Catholics, the direct successor of Simon Peter.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Hannibal Lecktor said, "...if you do as God does, enough times, you become as God is."\n\nWell, that is a twisted truth. Hey, it's Lecktor, what do you expect? But basically, God made man and gave him an incredible authority, that of being a "judge". As a judge you are exercising power much like God--that is, as judge and arbiter over men's lives. This was an awesome responisbility. Now look at the Psalm you sited closely and in context...\n\nWhat sets God apart?\nGod stands in the congregation of the mighty;\nHe judges among the gods.\n\nWas God satisfied with their judgments?\nHow long will you judge unjustly,\nAnd show partiality to the wicked? \n\nGod gave them a great responsibility...\nI said, “You are gods,\nAnd all of you are children of the Most High.\n\nBut did they live up to the task? NO!\nBut you shall die like men,\nAnd fall like one of the princes.\n\nThe Pharisees knew the scriptures up and down, inside and out. When He said, "It is written", the Pharisees would pride themselves on knowing the full scripture, its context, and what early sages said about it. When Jesus said, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"' What the Pharisee would immediately recognize is that in judging Jesus of being a blasphemer, they were not fulfilling their role as proper judges and would die as men due to mishandling their office. Jesus would only be a blasphemer if He wasn't GOD, and so He told them to judge by the works He did since they would validate His claim.\n\nIt's a toughy, but you have to put yourself in the place of the Pharisees listening to Him. It was a real jaw dropper for them. Notice they did not say much after that.

it doesn't matter whether peter went to rome or not.  Jesus told peter that he would be the rock that the church would be built upon.  peter then became the leader of the church (which was started before his death;some say the moment that Christ told peter this, others say at pentecost).  according to the roman catholic church and the easter orthodox church, peter is the first pope.\n\nthis argument has been going on for a long time and has to do more with "apostolic succession" which holds that the church is the direct spiritual successor of the beliefs of the apostles.  even more, the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian, Old Catholic, and some Independent Catholic Churches would say that apostolic succession is maintained through the consecration of their bishops in unbroken personal succession back to the apostles.  The problem arises when the great schism occured (when the Church split into the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church each saying that they are the true "One Holy and Apostolic Church).  Each church claimed/claims that their leaders were the true direct spiritual descendant of Peter(wish i could go into detail but time doesn't permit).
