Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He CHOSE us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5 having PREDESTINED us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,
10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.
11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
1. systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some goal
2. the act of terrorizing
3. the state of being terrorized .
I remember a man from Lebanon saying one day that terrorist objective is to keep you from living as you are inclined to. Fear is their means, and it is important to note that fear is not always in the form of terror but fear in the sense as it was revealed from the beginning and that is twisted or wicked faith, based on words from the kingdom of Darkness.
This terrorism is even under the allusion of being biblical, but outright denying any and all central bible truth's.
Ro 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
These given to their division's most commonly justify their stance with what they call their interpretation of the bible the avenue with which they justify their doctrine and deny what is taught in the word of God is truth.
Faith will never be any part of man's interpretation.
Jesus pattern is and always was to have a willing heart to hear the word of God and then to believe and the summation being a doer of the word, this is how the kingdom of God operates and the only way it does.
Brother, Hope, when it comes to brother PJ I expect nothing and get exactly what I expect from him.
There is a slight hint of sarcasm in that comment I just made, but there is no such icon known to man to convey it. So I won't even bother to pretend to insert one. lol

How does this comment look to a doer of the word of God.
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Ro 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
