Branduin says 'thanks for coming'
Branduin says 'will someone open us in prayer?'
Branduin says 'ok i will then'
Branduin says, "Let's pray." and bows her head in prayer.
Branduin says 'Lord you know how weary i am but please use me tonight'
Branduin says 'open the minds and ears of your people that we might learn from you :)'
Branduin says 'in your name'
Branduin boldly proclaims 'Amen!'
Angie says 'amen'
Branduin smiles softly.
Branduin says 'ok last week we studied james 1:19-20'
~Verse to Room from Branduin~ James 1:19-20 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Branduin says 'and we were talking about the word wrath'
Branduin says 'or as it is in NKJ and NIV anger'
Branduin says 'and cyto pointed out that the greek word for that is Or-GAY'
Branduin says 'spelled orge'
Branduin says 'well i did some research on it'
Branduin says 'and it links to some other verses in the Word as well'
Branduin says 'oh and speak of the angel ;)'
Branduin hugs Cyto.
Hatfield says 'told ya'
Hatfield nods sagely.
Branduin giggles.
Branduin nods.
Branduin says 'ok cyto just in time'
Branduin says 'we are gonna talk about orge'
Branduin says 'or gay ;)'
Cyto screams loudly!
Cyto exclaims "TMI!" and runs away covering his ears.
Branduin says 'i researched it some'
Branduin says 'and came up with some other verses that this particular word is used in ;)'
Branduin says 'which i have promptly lost LOL'
Branduin holds up her pointer finger and says, "One moment please," like a secretary.
Branduin says 'oh yeah'
Branduin says 'matt 5:21-22'
~Verse to Room from Hatfield~ Matthew 5:21-22 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Branduin says 'here Jesus is busting some myths that folks had'
Branduin says 'feel free to read this chapter to see those ;)'
Branduin says 'but in vs 22, he uses orge to tell us that whoever is ANGRY with his brother without cause is in danger of judgement'
Branduin says 'and the NIV has just who ever is angry with his brother'
Branduin says 'he is talking about murder and using curses'
~Verse to Room from Branduin~ Matthew 5:22-23 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Hatfield says 'Hi there Redfieldt'
Hatfield gives Redfieldt a brotherly hug.
Redfieldt says 'well i hope it doesnt reboot again'
Branduin says 'and he says that if you have something against your brother, when you are offering to the Lord you are to go and be reconciled before giving your offering'
Branduin says 'another verse where this word is used is Eccl 7:9'
~Verse to Room from Hatfield~ Ecclesiastes 7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Branduin says 'and this is similar to the verse from james'
Branduin says 'notice it says not to be hasty to anger'
Branduin says 'NIV says not to be swift to anger or quickly provoked'
Branduin says 'and it goes on to say that anger (orge) rests in the lap of fools'
Branduin says 'so these two verses show us that being slow to anger is an idea that is consistent throughout the Word'
Wargreymon sighs.
Hatfield says 'unchanging truth'
Branduin says 'another verse is prov 14:29'
~Verse to Room from Hatfield~ Proverbs 14:29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
Branduin says 'and the NIV says: A patient man has great understanding but a quick tempered man displays folly'
Wargreymon sighs.
Wargreymon will be right back!
Branduin says 'and also 17:27'
~Verse to Room from Hatfield~ Proverbs 17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Branduin says 'NIV = A man of knowlegde uses words with restraint, a man of understanding is even tempered'
Branduin says 'notice the pattern emerging'
Branduin says 'even tempered'
Branduin says 'slow to wrath or anger'
Branduin says 'quick to listen'
Branduin says 'slow to speak'
Branduin says 'using words with restraint'
Hatfield says 'be sure brain is running before engaging mouth...'
Branduin nods at Hatfield.
Hatfield says 'from the RRSV(Ron's Revised Standard)'
Branduin says 'so we see that the greek word used here (orge) has this association tied with it whereever it is found in the Word'
Branduin giggles at Hatfield's actions.
Angie giggles.
Seth tickles Legonis.
Legonis bows deeply.
Legonis says 'all well?'
Branduin says 'so it is very important that we endeavour to live this way :)'
Branduin hugs Legonis.
Seth nods.
Branduin says 'welcome lego'
Branduin smiles happily.

Legonis says 'just making sure you've got company love ¨_¨'
Legonis bows deeply.
Legonis happily waves goodbye.
Branduin smiles happily.
Branduin says 'any questions thus far?'
Hatfield shakes his head no.
Branduin giggles.
Branduin says 'ok'
Branduin says 'so last weeks verses hopefully are more clear now on the topic of anger'
Angie smiles happily.
~Verse to Room from Branduin~ James 1:19-20 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Hatfield nods sagely.
Branduin says 'be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger'
Branduin says 'for anger can not bring about the righteousness of God'
Branduin nods sagely.
Branduin says 'any questions'
Branduin says 'ok next verse in james hatty owl ;)'
Branduin says 'james 1:21'
~Verse to Room from Hatfield~ James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Branduin says 'now'
Branduin says 'in the NIV it says Therefore again ;)'
Hatfield says 'so what's it there for?'
Branduin says 'remember wherever there is a therefore find out what it is there for ;)'
Branduin nods sagely at Hatfield.
Branduin says 'Therefore get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you which can save you'
Branduin says 'oh how we love to hang on to filth'
Branduin says 'even though it is dirty and vile'
Branduin says 'we tend to cling to it like it is gold'
Branduin says 'and notice that James knows it is prevalent'
Branduin says 'but he is instructing us to continue to put that aside and to act differently from the world'
Branduin says 'and remember by our fruits the world will know we are Christians'
Branduin says 'and hopefully they will want what we have'
Branduin says 'the next step is to what?'
Branduin says 'Therefore get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you which can save you'
Branduin says 'we must humble ourselves before the Word and allow it to change us'
Hatfield says 'out with the bad, in with the good'
Redfieldt boldly proclaims 'Amen!'
Branduin says 'and we must work at doing these things which he is instructing us to do'
Branduin says 'and man, it will be a challenge'
Redfieldt says 'your not kidding'
Branduin says 'but with the Spirit's help, we can do it :D'
Redfieldt says 'it's hard somtimes'
Branduin nods at Redfieldt.
Branduin says 'and it is so funny......'
Branduin says 'sometimes we just like to ignore what the Word says clearly :/'
Redfieldt nods.
Branduin says 'and in doing so we are hanging on to that filth and evil'
Branduin hangs her head in shame.
Redfieldt gulps nervously and loosens his neckwear.
Branduin says 'we all do it from time to time'
Hatfield says 'and there are those that will say 'that's not ow I interpret that'
Hatfield rolls his eyes, disgusted.
Branduin says 'but notice what it says about the Word'
Redfieldt says 'it's doesn't matter how you interpet that, what it says is what is means'
Branduin says 'Therefore get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you which can save you'
Branduin says 'if we plant the word in our hearts and our minds, it can what???'
Branduin peers around herself intently.
Cyto says 'don't forget the therefore'
Hatfield says 'I know that, you know that, just saying there are those that don't'
Redfieldt nods.
Branduin pats Cyto on his head.
Hatfield says 'it can SAVE you'
Branduin says 'it can save you :)'
Branduin nods.
Branduin says 'always remember that the Christian life is a process.....a growth process'
Branduin says 'we are always growing'
Cyto says 'because of the last verse'
Branduin says 'we are always learning'
Hatfield says 'until we go Home'
Branduin nods.
Branduin nods at Cyto.
Cyto says 'maybe even then'
Branduin says 'yeah i think you voided'
Branduin says 'when i talked about the therefore'
Branduin grins mischievously.
Cyto says 'oops'
Cyto peers intently at Hatfield.
Branduin bonks Hatfield on the head.
Branduin snickers softly.
Branduin says 'oh my'
Hatfield looks around and whistles innocently.
Angie giggles.
Branduin says 'ok so planting the word in us'
Hatfield says 'sorry, I'll behave'
Branduin says 'guess what ya'll'
Branduin says 'planting is very hard work!!'
Branduin says 'ask anyone who has a garden'
Hatfield says 'tell me about it'
Redfieldt says 'I do'
Redfieldt says 'its hard work'
Branduin says 'it isn't just a one time thing you have to water it and weed it and tend to it'
Redfieldt says 'all the neighbors stealing the veggies'
Branduin says 'so notice that planting the Word in our hearts and minds is going to be just as hard ;)'
Branduin says 'we must attend to it'
Hatfield says 'sower parable comes to mind as well'
Branduin says 'and we must make sure that the devil doesn't steal our "veggies" ;)'
Branduin nods at Hatfield.
Redfieldt nods.
Branduin says 'i was thinking the same thing'
Branduin says 'these verses go on in james talking about the word'
Branduin says 'and how to rightly use it'
Branduin says 'but i am gonna stop here tonight'
Angie sniffs sadly.
Branduin pats Angie on her head.
Branduin says 'cyto or hatty want to continue?'
Branduin says 'feel free :)'
Branduin says 'the word never comes back void no matter who is teaching it'
Hatfield says 'Cyto can take it if he wants to delve further.'
Branduin says 'even a little jack....rabbit like me ;)'
Branduin grins mischievously.
Branduin pokes Cyto in the ribs.
Hatfield says 'I'll take closing prayer otherwise'
Branduin thanks Hatfield heartily.
Branduin says 'ya'll please pray for me i haven't been sleeping well at all :('
Branduin says 'ok any questions?'
Branduin says 'comments'
Hatfield says 'we can all pray for you together right now sis'
