    Bible Speaks got a reaction from vandenbusschevanoostjosett in A Government lawyer knocked on a door of a poor man dying of a disease.   
    A Government lawyer knocked on a door of a poor man dying of a disease. 
    When the man opened the door the lawyer said, “I have been sent by the richest man who ever lived to offer you an inheritance by your Father. This inheritance will pay off all your debts, and would allow you to undergo a medical procedure that would cure the disease attacking your body, 
    In order for you to receive this inheritance, you must take the time to learn the details contained in this legal document on how and why this inheritance could be yours. 
    What would the poor man do? Will he say, “I’m not interested, I’m too busy, I have my own way to help myself? Or would he reason, I love my Father and I know he cares for me, the lawyer said he has a document, even though I doubt that this is true, I will let him try to prove it to me for I may benefit as I am a poor dying man.
     
    WhatÂ’s the meaning of the illustration?
     
    Who is the Lawyer? (Matt 28:19,20; Acts 5:42, 20:20)
    What government does the Lawyer represent? (Matt 24:14, 6:10; Dan 2:44; Matt 6:33)
    The Document (1 Tim 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
    The reason to listen to the Document (1 John 5:3; John 17:3)
    Who is the rich man? Matt 28:20
    What is the cure? 1 Tim 2:6; Rom 3:24; Ephesians 1:7 Colossians 1:14
    Who is the Father? John 3:16; Psalms 83:18
    Who is the poor man? 1 Cor 15:22; Rom 5:12
    (It would be my hope that the poor man would let the lawyer read the documents so that the dying man could take the steps needed to gain the inheritance. 
    As he learns the truth about all his Father did in his behalf, his love for his father would grow. He would now know all that his Father wants for him and he would now live his life trying his best to do what he knows is best without any doubts about his inheritance.)

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Tennyson Naidoo in Barber's Logic - God does not exist..... ( a good reminder for serving !)   
    Ha! My Post Today!
    DOES GOD EXIST?
    This is one of the best explanations on the nature of God that I have ever seen... A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. 
    As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.  They talked about so many things and various subjects. 
    When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God exists.' 'Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. 
    Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?  Would there be abandoned children? 
    If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.  I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things..' The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. 
    The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. 
    Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. 
    He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: 'You know what? Barbers do not exist.' 'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber. 'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!' 'No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.' 'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.' 'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. 
    That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.' If you think God exists, send this to other people--- I really liked this, I hope you share it............ Bible Speaks ?

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from E dub in TROUBLES THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN!   
    TROUBLES THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN!
           In response, you might direct attention to the very beginning of mankindÂ’s troubles. GOD created the first human couple in his image and likeness—they were perfect. Yet, they introduced sin and death into the human family and thus into our life. They took sides with Satan the Devil on the issue of who has the supreme right to rule mankind. (Genesis 1:26; 3:1-19)
          Over the centuries, Satan has tried to prove that if humans are given an incentive to do otherwise, they will not serve JEHOVAH. You know that Satan has failed. JESUS CHRIST and many other servants of JEHOVAH have kept integrity to GOD and have shown that they serve HIM out of love. (Hebrews 12:1-3) Can you not think of any by name who are thus serving GOD loyally 
          You will note that some of the prophets drew attention to the luxurious lifestyle of people who were neglecting the worship of JEHOVAH. The prophets admonished GOD'S people to ‘set their heart upon their ways’ and to transform their lives. (Haggai 1:2-5; 2:15, 18; Amos 3:14, 15; 5:4-6)
          Yes, the prophets were showing the people how to live. Those who accepted that exhortation showed that JEHOVAH is their Sovereign, thereby proving Satan a liar. JEHOVAH will prove loyal to such ones when HE annihilates HIS enemies.—2 Samuel 22:26.
          This description may be figurative, but we can conclude from it that GOD'S acts will bring disastrous effects on the earth and its inhabitants. Not on all humans, though. The same prophets pointed to abundant blessings for those who “search for what is good” and thus keep living.—Amos 5:14; Joel 3:17, 18; Micah 4:3, 4. - Bible Speaks -

    Yeah.. Ama has a good  memory. Even tough biblical figures are difficult to remember, but she tried and tried to remember it all. The numbers in the bible also she tried to remember.  And Jehovah knows her struggles..
    Today I visited my enthusiastic bible student. She is 97 but still doing good in remembering something. She remembered what we have learnt before. Then we inquired her : "Have U started to pray to Jehovah madam?". In response she said "Every single morning I pray to Jehovah, I ask for healthier life so I could walk vigorously". (And my smile shows my happiness). And again we asked : "Do U love Jehovah?". And then she said "I love Jehovah because He loves me as well". @angelina_tarigan

    Carrying a gun gave me a sense of power, so I can see the need constantly to work on developing humility. Satan’s system of things taught me to hate and kill and to be suspicious, aggressive, and defensive. But Jehovah has extended mercy and loving-kindness to me, for which I am very appreciative. Now I am determined to continue to learn war no more and to have love and compassion for all.—Matthew 5:43-45; Isaiah 2:4.
    It has not been easy for me to make changes. However, I have learned to live a more peaceable life. With GodÂ’s help I have also been able to cope with the nightmares resulting from my war experiences. I truly look forward to the time when wars and conflicts will cease. (Psalm 46:9) Until that time comes, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in the lifesaving work of helping people to learn about our grand Lifegiver, Jehovah God.

    RUSSIA.. 
    DOZENS OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ARRESTED (TWO DETAINED) AS POLICE AND ARMED TROOPS RAID HOMES OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES CONFISCATING THEIR PROPERTIES AND OTHER VALUABLES. 
    No fewer than 16 residences of peaceful citizens in Belgorod and 12 residences in Kemerovo were subjected to invasion by representatives of law enforcement agencies and to searches. Dozens of people were arrested and several have remained in custody for two days now. As the European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses reported on 9 February, the citizens are suspected of continuing the activity of the organization "Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia," which was liquidated by decision of the Russian Supreme Court on 20 April 2017, which found the aforesaid organization "extremist."
    In the evening of 7 February in Belgorod, large groups consisting of personnel of the police, the Investigation Directorate of the MVD, and armed troops of a SOBR [Special Rapid Response Unit] simultaneously barged into a number of private homes of local residents. In some cases citizens were thrown to the floor and pinned to the wall, and then all were forcibly taken to the police department and searches were conducted in the residences. A group of deaf people also was taken to the police department, who had gathered for friendly communication. In all, dozens of people were taken to the police department at 60 Prince Trubetskoy St. At the police department, passport data were collected from citizens, fingerprints were taken, and summons were drawn up. The last of those released left at nine in the morning of the next day. Two citizens, Anatoly Shaliapin and Sergei Voikov, were held in custody for 48 hours and the issue of the selection of measures of prevention was decided within the context of the investigation of a case regarding continuation of the activity of an extremist organization.
    During the searches, which sometimes were conducted in a brutal form and were accompanied by insulting comments, from the citizens were seized Bibles, all electronic equipment and data storage devices, travel passports, money, and in some cases even photographs that were hanging on the wall. 
    The Russian Ministry of Justice, which last year requested the liquidation of the legal entity of Jehovah's Witnesses, had insisted that the constitutional rights of individual believers would not be affected in any way in the event of the satisfaction of its lawsuit.
    A criminal case is about to opened for the two brothers that was detained??

    Want one of these in the New World? Loveable Babies then? - ?
    Video by @joelsartore | At just four-weeks-old, these two leopard cat kittens (Prionailurus bengalensis) are Happy to be alive! Like most wild cat species, mothers hide their young in a quiet location while they're hunting and return later to nurse them. These babies were found hiding in a field that humans had started to burn for agriculture.
    Unfortunately, humans sometimes find these kittens and wrongly presume that they are abandoned or orphaned and pick them up, but in this case it was absolutely the right thing to do or both would have been killed by the fire. A caring Cambodian woman found them just in time and they were transferred for hand-rearing to the @accb_cambodia, a dedicated conservation and rescue center near the ancient temples of Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
    The Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity regularly receives leopard cats and other wildlife in need and tries to rehabilitate them in order to be released back to the wild if at all possible. Although leopard cats are very cute, they don’t make good pets because they are wild and donÂ’t become tame. It is always a very emotional moment to say goodbye and to release a rehabilitated leopard cat back to the wild.

    Thank you Jehovah for the Sea ? Turtles ? 
     
    "Hover" 
    This beautiful footage was filmed off the Coast Of Byron Bay, Australia by @scottwilsonimagery - Grace and Light, Green Turtle ? 
    ?Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), is named for the green color of the fat under its shell. In some areas, the Pacific green turtle is also called the black sea turtle.
    They are easily distinguished from other sea turtles because they have a single pair of prefrontal scales (scales in front of its eyes), rather than two pairs as found on other sea turtles. Head is small and blunt with a serrated jaw. Carapace is bony without ridges and has large, non-overlapping, scutes (scales) present with only 4 lateral scutes. Body is nearly oval and is more depressed (flattened) compared to Pacific green turtles. All flippers have 1 visible claw. The carapace color varies from pale to very dark green and plain to very brilliant yellow, brown and green tones with radiating stripes. The plastron varies from white, dirty white or yellowish in the Atlantic populations to dark grey-bluish-green in the Pacific populations. Hatchlings are dark-brown or nearly black with a white underneath and white flipper margins.
    For comparison, the Pacific green turtle (aka Black Sea Turtle) has a body that is strongly elevated or vaulted and looks less round in a frontal view than other green sea turtles. The color is where you see the biggest difference with Pacific greens having a dark grey to black carapace and the hatchlings are a dark-brown or black with narrow white border with white underneath.
    Adults are 3 to 4 feet in carapace length (83 – 114 cm). The green turtle is the largest of the Cheloniidae family. The largest green turtle ever found was 5 feet (152 cm) in length and 871 pounds (395 kg). Adults weigh between 240 and 420 pounds (110 – 190 kg).
