@BeachcatTt Isaiah’s Suffering Servant. It’s foretelling of Christ’s coming, why he was needed, and the redemption of His sacrifice is all there. And the fact that it is fulfilled prophecy starts making the case for why Christianity is truth, and not just a fairytale.

@ReformedArsenal There is a curious contingency of blue-ticks who’s posts seem deliberately opaque, comprising minimum three deep theological terms, like an obscure code designed to speak only to likeminds. Almost an homage to times past when The Bible itself was hidden behind Greek and Latin…

@HoneycombHermit @CSLCHSnMore Thank you! A paraphrase of ML Jones. He was an absolute genius - he had so many thoughtful gems like this.

@CSLCHSnMore A9. The man who has true humility is one who is amazed that God and man can think of him as well as they do! It also means that we have such a poor - REALISTIC! - idea of ourselves and our capabilities that we are actually ready to listen to others. #HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore A7 It is true that my natural gifts, my family, my status, my schooling, are nothing to do with me and so I cannot take any credit for it. It is all from God.

But we have worth in His eyes too, and false humility or weakness are not be confused with meekness #HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore I think subconsciously everyone knows it’s wrong! And I think we recognise the delusion, because everyone suffers from it. Whether we’re driving, or judging someone who speaks too loudly about how well they are doing at work, we all do it or would like to do it. #HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore A5 It’s so embarrassing I’m going to keep this one between me and Jesus. He knows the time I mean 😳#HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore That was quick! #HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore #HealthyFaithChat A4 The image of someone basking in the glory of having beaten someone else, always springs to mind - looking to the crowd for affirmation, and walking into a wall! Metaphorically the adoration of the World is fleeting and weak. Whereas the true reward… ✝️✝️

@CSLCHSnMore A3 Given we are all Gods creation our arrogance and pride, to consider ourselves independent of him, is an ultimate offence to Him, so I would agree that it is an anti-God state of mind. In contrast, we should be empty of ourselves - and filled with The Spirit.

#HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore A2 Pride is about putting oneself before God. It is the antithesis of meekness, or being humble, where one’s focus is on His Glory.

#HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore I must admit that I find it a shame how the term has been reappropriated as something supposedly positive. Pride these days is all about me me me. #HealthyFaithChat

@CSLCHSnMore A puffed-up show-off, the kind you used to know at school. Everyone knew one, unless perhaps if they were the one! #healthyfaithchat

@dilipkjena @CSLCHSnMore Scotland for the win!

@CSLCHSnMore I’m not that old! 😁

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

@stephsanctified @Stuartall1977 You’re welcome! These three really helped me appreciate and love the Word when I first came to Jesus, Max Maclean’s Genesis is something I watch quite often. He really brings it to life!
