Shaking the Lap - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Gail I have many points... Registered: 12/10/02 Posts: 13611 Loc: Buon giorno, Principessa	I also shook out the folds of my robe (shook my lap, KJV) and said, "In this way may God shake out of his house and possessions every man who does not keep this promise. So may such a man be shaken out and emptied!: At this the whole assembly said, "Amen," and praised the Lord.- Nehemiah 5:13 This gesture symbolized complete rejection of anyone who might violate this agreement. It was commonly used, and symbolized other different things as well. In this way Nehemiah told the usurpers of his time that if they failed to keep the covenant of restitution that they had made that they would be completely exterminated. _________________________ Gail gail@adventistforum.com And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

What a difference time makes in language. Wonder what it will mean in another 400 years. By the way, the first 400 year anniversary is not far away-- 2011. _________________________ Turning and turning in the widening gyre/ The falcon cannot hear the falconer;/ things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...
