A "Forward" Glimpse Into The Future?

No biggie, as far as I am concerned.

The harlot sinned in a brothel, man's home, hillside. You pick. The adulterer sinned in a brothel, his or her home, hillside. You pick.

Sin is a state of condition. Sin is in the heart. Unbelief is sin. He went to where the sinner was. Sinners sinned in their homes. He went to where sinners were. Sinners sinned the the synagogues. He went to where they were. The bible never stated where Jesus DID NOT GO.

Didn't the Lord say He did what He did for Isreal for His "name's sake"? If they couldn't protect His honor, He'd do it Himself. They couldn't.

No.

Name of God speaks of his abundant quality. Reputation is only in the mind of the one that perceives that quality. On a larger scale, if you want to say that God wants to be know for who and what he is, that is a given. But to go about and seek and defend a reputation for himself in the sense that you say that Jesus did, I do not agree.

He became flesh and that man went about glorifying His Father. When He glorified His Father, was He not protecting His Father's name, thus His reputation as THE Almighty God of Isreal?

No. Not in the sense that men go about trying to build a reputation for themselves and then seek to protect it. Preaching the gospel, in the broader sense, is establishing a reputation. If God never went into a bar, a harlot's house, even in hell itself, David could not have claimed that there is nowhere that he could go that He was not there...even into hell..."Lo, thou art there."

Further see my answer above concerning His name.

Anyway, this discussion has gone far afield than I care to pursue.

I thought you made yourself of no reputation, brother. Why worry about it now?

LOL. Well then I guess it's a good thing I didn't reply to another one of those posts you made where you recited one of the "old" choruses from way back. That would have made 3x.

You don't have to rub it in you know.

Here a few months ago, I had dinner with Gracie, one of those bad redheads who was the ringleader in all of this mischief. We talked and laughed our heads off all afternoon one day. I had not seen her or Patsy for a long, long time and we had the best old time remembering some of that stuff.

I took some pictures, so I will post one or two of them on the other (1940s) thread later on. That girl is till a cut-up. Too much monkey business in her for most to handle.

How well we remember those old songs. They never fade from our memories or the atmosphere that we embraced them when they were sung with such great conviction.

These new ones seldom do it for me like those did in those days of so long ago.

Today I was singing...

I know the Lord will make a way for me.
I know the Lord will make a way for me.
If I live a holy life, shun the wrong and do the right.
I know the Lord will make a way for me.

Then I began to sing...

I know the Lord has laid his hand on me....
I know the Lord has laid his hand on me....
If I live a holy life, shun the wrong and do the right
I know the Lord has laid his hand on me....

Agreed.

My halo has slipped a few times.

In fact my poor halo has fallen in the dirt a few times too.

As a matter of fact, my poor halo has been in the dirt, in the fire, gotten somewhat rusty, bent up, warped and so out of shape that I don't even feel comfortable wearing it anymore around all of those good folk whose halo has never even SLIPPED.

LAWD! Have mercy one ME!
