Hey all! I just ask for a bit of prayer for myself. As of late, it seems everything in life is hitting at once. 8+ months ago I bought a house that I shortly found out later was in unlivable conditions due to the previous owners not disclosing damage that was done to it. So I've been staying at a different place and I'm paying a mortgage for a house that I cannot move into. I may own the house for up to a year before I can even move in due to the amount of work that is needed. A settlement was made with the previous owners, however it wasn't enough to cover even half the bills that are needed to compete the house. In the midst of this, stuff at work is changing dramatically too. A new company bought our company out, and my position at work is being eliminated. Luckily I was just offered a promotion, but it requires travel and they recommend me moving to a different state. Travel I don't mind, but it will take away even more time from extracurricular activities, such as CTF or hobbies. They said I can negotiate moving (which I definitely will) because it isn't in my financial means to take a loss on the house that I just bought currently. Plus I love where I live anyways. So prayers that I will make the correct decision at work as well, and will seek God's guidance to see if the new position is a correct fit for me. Also, 3 weeks ago I slipped on some ice and hurt my back a decent amount. Just prayers that my back will continue healing properly. I fully believe in the power of prayer, as I've already seen God move in different ways in my current house situation. Please pray along with me, as it says in Matthew "for where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Thanks in advanced!

I give below, a link to a Youtube video by "The Two Preachers" that shows the proven real burial cloth of Jesus Christ, on which you can see the true face and body of our most sweet and beloved God. The video gives a couple of interesting evidences on why this linen burial cloth-called today "the Shroud of Turin"- is Jesus's actual burial shroud. *One of the smartest evangelical scholars, professor Gary Habermas of Liberty University, believes the Shroud of Turin is certainly Jesus's burial cloth. Many other protestant Christian leaders ,such as David Mainse, also hold the same view! ***Please do your part to glorify Jesus and to feed his sheep, by sharing the Youtube( below) video with friends and family-even with Sunday school teachers. And make sure you say that Dr. Gary Habermas(an evangelical) says the Shroud of Turin really belonged to Jesus. If you are Catholic, then it's easy for you to share with other Catholics because they all ready have many church leaders and scholars who believe it to be Christ's real shroud. So share with friends and family this way so the Shroud of Turin video goes viral: ----Simply said :the [Message(M for short)]you have to spread is the [M1 =" Shroud of Turin Youtube video link" to friends ] and [M2=" ask your friends to always BOTH (1) share the Shroud of Turin Youtube video link with their friends and (2) also to ask their friends to share the Shroud of Turin Youtube video with(next in the viral chain) their friends. ----- But you have to do both M1 and All of M2 to keep the Whole Message (which is the Shroud of Turin Youtube video link And Sharing it {"Share it" is part of the Whole Message} ) going on and on and on. Otherwise "the sharing of the Shroud of Turin Youtube link will stop after 1 or 2 friends connecting back to you. I want it to go viral to glorify Christ so both M1 +M2 must be done. Thank you. I have no connection to this Youtube video. ****** A few paragraphs below is the Youtube link!******* Dozens of books have been written to explain why the Shroud of Turin is authentic/real. But in order to quickly understand how and why 3 brilliant American chemists/scientists showed that the many blood marks on this shroud were put on it by Jesus's body before the picture of his face and body was miraculously put on this same shroud, therefore absolutely proving it is truly Christ's linen burial cloth, please see my thread in this "Bible" subforum named "Image of Jesus's Real Face From the Shroud of Turin"[0ctober 14, 2017] AND then go read its 6th reply post[September 16,2018]. I also have photos of the Shroud of Turin in that OCT, 2017 thread. There are many good books that explain the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin also. Shroud of Turin experts all have the saying: "Blood before image/picture"! When you read and understand how it is impossible for anyone but God to put the blood marks onto the Shroud of Turin exactly matching Jesus's wounds before the picture of his body was put on the same shroud- you will be amazed. ***{Please understand that only in photos of the Shroud of Turin taken under bright super white light can the red blood be clearly seen, That is why in many Shroud of Turin photos the blood is almost impossible to see.These were taken in low light. But in my October 14,2017 thread's 6th reply post I show a blood marked Shroud of Turin photo! See the title of that thread in the 2nd paragraph.} The Shroud of Turin is also miraculously the world's first X Ray!! The black and white "Negative" image of the Shroud of Turin is an X Ray according to Professor of Radiology Harold E. Davis(he is a fellow of the American College of Radiologists). Other radiologists, including Everett James of Vanderbilt University agree! (Please ask your parents to see a photographic Negative. All photographs came with them 20 years ago.) ***In Matthew 27:59, Mark 15:46 and in 5 other places in the New Testament Gospels, the linen burial cloth of Christ is clearly mentioned. Here is the link to the 2018 Update Shroud of Turin Youtube video: https://youtu.be/KBycQZug8Fo The noted evangelical scholar Gary Habermas ( professor at Liberty Univ.) said recently that the Shroud of Turin is certainly Jesus's linen burial cloth! Famous evangelists Ravi Zacharias and David Mainse also thinks it is. *****Please tell (and send the Youtube link)to your family and friends- even to Sunday school teachers and youth pastors- I explained in the 4th and 5th paragraph on how to get this Youtube video going viral. I hope I was clear or at least sort of.(make sure to say Dr. Gary Habermas thinks for certain it is real.) *************Jesus said in John 14:11 that we should believe that the Father is in him "at least" by the miracles/works he did. The Shroud of Turin is one of those miracles/works so please share the link... it is easy and you will be glorifying Jesus and helping your neighbor. I have no connection to the linked video or to The Two Preachers. Thank you for spending your time and reading this thread and clicking on the link! All praise and glory to Our Father and his Only Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The Good News of the free gift of everlasting life in heaven by believing in and trusting Jesus Christ the Eternal God, must be heard by all. What an infinitely valuable and priceless gift for free -but it can be received from God only by faith in Christ Jesus! No other way to heaven I lovingly , gently and humbly say. Jesus is God is Love. See you in heaven my dear sisters and brothers of all colors around the world. Hang on to Jesus with all your strength. Life on earth is very short---You will be Princesses and Princes forever and ever. See you there! -
Yes Davida, we all go through really, really tough times in our short lives on earth but remember in Matthew 28:20, Jesus promises that he will be with us always!!! Jesus is God, so he can and will comfort us in our pain and strengthen us. He is with us always but you must be born-again by being baptized with the Holy Spirit to have this promise. Just believe in Jesus Christ and ask his and our Father in Heaven to give you the Perfect and Infinite gift of the Holy Spirit indwelling in your soul. Also talk to a Christian pastor for those of you who are going through hard times and wondering how to be baptized by the Holy Spirit. It is important to do this.

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. – Acts 17:11 In modern evangelical circles the Bereans are esteemed as model believers that all should follow, and yes there are great attributes to them but also there are implications taken from them that are untrue. Firstly they were jews, meaning they were religious jews but not believing Christians. Yet Paul the Apostle states they had “noble character” meaning they had a sense of them that they were deep thinkers before coming to quick conclusions on a matter. They were willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. Secondly, we see that they gladly received the message, meaning they were teachable, willing to learn and adjust their own beliefs. They were not so dogmatic to think that they were perfect or not needing correction or perfecting of their thinking of the Scriptures. When they heard reasonable words shared from the truth of Scriptures they eagerly sought these out to see if they really were Scriptural and true. They were not defensive but rather looking to learn and grow in their relationship and walk with God. They were also diligent in that every day they looked to see if the things Paul was sharing was true. They did not just give up or judge Paul but were willing to listen to the other side of the story and not come to quick conclusions. What a wonderful picture of a people who in the end mostly “embraced” the gospel message, they certainly were “noble” and the Lord honoured that. The Bereans did not spend hours looking for gaps and mistakes in Paul’s and Silas’s teachings but looked to see what was true of what they were saying. Modern believers who esteem Bereans think of these things in a different way. They look to diligently check things with the Bible so they can accuse and criticize another person or ministry. Most people are usually have their mind made up someone is wrong and therefore go ahead and simply look for ways to attack another’s character, calling and ministry. Such ministries are known as discernment ministries or even heresy hunters. Most of those who follow the ways of these “type” of Bereans are joyless, critical in spirit, bitter or even angry. Many believe they can take down the ministry they are accusing and feel they are doing God’s work just like the early Bereans. If you desire to have life and peace, stay with the Word of God and stay away from those who make it their life’s work to criticize and accuse others. Follow the example of the true Bereans who were happy and joyfully to rejoice in truth when it was shared and be willing to grow in our understanding of the Lord.

I read the books and saw the movies when they came out. At the time I was really excited but I haven't really gone back to them since then/recently.
