Dopey,... My husband had 5 stents put in one artery( the widow maker) my son said. The main one, the one that if it blocks will kill you instantly and 2 in another and he is not even saved. So most of us are at a time in our lives we need to try to help and pray for each other in our troubles... A few on here care in a christian way and I thank God for them...

Dolores

Nine years ago this October in a hospital in Toronto a team of several doctors and several nurses came and advised me to return to my city, monitor my condition, and if problems arose return to Toronto.

About an hour later one man came and advised me to totally ignore what the "team" had said and go ahead with a triple by pass operation already scheduled, because I would probably die quickly if I didn't.

The man realizing I was in difficulty, facing advice from 2 sources, "the team" vs 1 person, pressed his case further.

He told me he was the surgeon that would perform the scheduled operation and that he would have given the same advice to his father had his father been in the same situation.

His stand against "the team", probably causing him problems, and his testimony that he cared for me as much as his father made me take the
operation.

You [Dolores] and Michael [Hranek] really do like to indulge in Freudian speculations, don't you? All gush, but not much to do with true Christianity.

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Jesus Christ came to cause division as Matthew 10:34-36 clearly states

2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

I have done what is commanded of me in 2 Corinthians 13:5. Have you? I have had God witness to me since I was saved over 40 years ago, that I am in fact saved and not a reprobate, in spite of my numerous failings.

Perhaps I am only one of the two people here, along with Dolores, that has failed God since they were saved. Perhaps the rest of you are so spiritual you never fail God. (I know John Uk and Michael Hranek would not admit to never having failed God after they were saved.)

I know that God has witnessed to me that Jesus Christ is in me.

There is an obvious reason for not posting our private prayers on a public forum when I look at Dopey's post and maybe not even some of our private 'odd' thoughts
Troll Spotter

Have you never seen public prayers in public forums? If so, you haven't seen much.

Check out Troll Spotters post 9/20/14 1:57 PM, accusing you of sowing discord. He named 2 specifics - your contretemp with Observer (I could add Lurker), and your encouraging the 2 resident RCC trolls.
His quotes from your previous posting history clearly bear out his allegations.
You said 9/20/14 2:41 PM
I will answer your false allegations the same way I answered the foolishness of Not duped by dopey. That is, to invite you to start quoting me directly in regard to some of your perceived past transgressions on my part and we will deal with them directly. And you and I will play Haman and Mordecai, Not duped by dopey having refused to play.
Well, TS certainly picked up the baton and exposed your lie that the allegations were false. So, we're all waiting with baited breath for your refutation.

BTW guilt is established at the mouth of two or three witnesses. We don't need your pretended direct revelations from the Holy Spirit.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Father, in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ I thank you for the reviling, persecution and evil falsely spoken of against Michael Hranek and myself. For you have truly blessed me through it as I found myself able to rejoice and be exceeding glad.

As you know Father, I considered last night the possibility I was about to die last night because of the severe medical problems I was encountering last night. One of which, was a short prelude two heart attacks I had close to nine years ago and which came very close to killing me.

For those who defend him, has he bothered to apologize to anyone if his past "satire" was misunderstood?

Thank you for your encouragement again, which I greatly appreciate.

Thank you also for the link

You want to point to where I said any such thing?...

She said you "assumed" and where you did in fact "assume"
is right here:
"Troll Spotter did nothing but expose Dopey's lies."

Before Dopey left, he made all manner of irreverent and belligerent remarks that in my opinion are not justifiable. I did feel at the time he was being very facetious, just to stir everyone up. All that said, this time around Im gonna just wait and see how he behaves himself before I jump on the pro or no Dopey bandwagon.

1 Corinthians 1:12-13 KJV

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Thanks, Dopey, for the advice of sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees. That really works because I've had to do that when my back gets really bad ever now and then...Have a good day, Dopey.

I remember with fondness your kind association with me before I left for several months.

I sometimes wondered while away if some "Christians" were figuratively bashing you over the head for liking me. If so, I trust God held you up for:

Romans 8:28 KJV

the following is a response to your 9/21/14 6:53 AM post:

2 Peter 3:16 KVJ

As also in all his [Paul the Apostle's] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

One of several principles revealed by that Scripture is that sometimes the Holy Spirit uses a saved person to write things that are "hard to be understood". That is something the Holy Spirit did in the first century AD. Is it any different in the 21st century AD? Is the Holy Spirit still using the same principle of sometimes using a saved person to write some things "hard to be understood"?

Malachi 3:6 KJV

For I am the LORD, I change not;...

Paul the Apostle also wrote some things very easy to understand in his writings so the principle amplified is that sometimes the Holy Spirit uses a saved person to write things easy to understand and sometimes things "hard to be understood".

Malachi 3:6 testifies to the truth that the Holy Spirit is also using that principle today in regard to the writings of some saved people.

I would like to see a response to Troll Spotters last post if possible.

Troll Spotters last post in relationship to when you made your statement at 9/20/14 6:10 PM was 9/20/14 6:01 PM and tomorrow I will respond to it, Lord willing:

James 4:14 KJV

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life [Chrisopher000, Troll Spotter, Dopey and everyone else]? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

In fact I may even begin to respond to Troll Spotter again in spite of what I said at 9/20/14 5:49 PM. For he later said something that I was not aware of. And if true it gives me authorization to respond to him again. Not that I am accusing him of lying I just need time to make sure that what he stated is accurate.

However, I am tired so I will leave now and return sometime tomorrow, Lord willing.

I am half expecting to be thrown into a pit and sold to the Ishmeelites
before this is all over

Are you expecting your readers to believe what you say about what I have said because you say it is so? If so you are not being Scriptural:

2 Thessalonians 5:21 KJV

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Observer wrote:
Your inability to think sure entitles you to use that moniker...

Allow me to add editorial notes with brackets to what I quoted from you so the reader will understand more:

Observer wrote:
Your inability [Dopey] to think sure entitles you [Dopey] to use that moniker[Dopey]...

What I quoted from you Troll Spotter illustrates Observer charging me with the inability to "think". So I ask again Troll Spotter are you out to illustrate my imperfections or Observer's imperfections?

2 Timothy 3:16 KJV

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

A "figure of speech is sometimes called a rhetorical figure"

Satire is one of the figures of speech the Holy Spirit uses which means of course that He uses saved people to use Satire as the Bible proves. That means in turn that He also uses saved people in the 21st century to use satire for His principles are eternal:

Malachi 3:6 KJV

For I am the LORD, I change not;...

What Troll Spotter has produced is a post of mine involving satire. Troll Spotter would be better advised to study figures of speech as used by the Holy Spirit in Scripture instead of acting like he is starting up a Protestant Inquisition.

A starter link for beginning to study the Holy Spirit's use of satire is [URL=http://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-sarcasm.html]]]What does the Bible say about satire and/or sarcasm?[/URL]

If we recall correctly, you played that part (sowing strife between brethren) really well a few months ago, with your contretemps with Observer and then you added insult to injury by encouraging the 2 resident RCC trolls, clearly nailing your colors to the mast by your admission that you too were a Roman Catholic, mixed with a very good dose of stupidity which only you are capable of.
Extremely hypocritical of you to advise someone else to behave like a Christian when you can't do so yourself.
As for acting the innocent now, unless you can obliterate your posting history on SA, you should hang your head in shame, you pitiful little troll.
