[TruthTalk] The passion of Christ

[Judy Taylor]

He used Cyrus to get them out of Babylonian captivity, not to teach doctrine.  That didn't come until they found a copy of the scriptures in what was left of the old temple and it was read to the people by Ezra the scribe.   Kevin????? What I was trying to say was that God DOES sometimes use heathens.  He called Cyrus his ANOINTED and SHEPHERD.  That does not seem to fit into your separatist theology.   Peace be with you.

Words are so tricky. David Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Kevin wrote: > God would not use a profane person like Joe Smith > nor Mel.

Was he not truly chosen as an apostle of Christ? How do you explain heathen Cyrus? Thus saith the LORD TO HIS ANOINTED, TO CYRUS, WHOSE RIGHT HAND I HAVE HOLDEN, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut. (Isaiah 45:1 KJV) That saith of Cyrus, HE IS MY SHEPHERD, AND SHALL PERFORM ALL MY PLEASURE: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. (Isaiah 44:28 KJV) Peace be with you. David Miller, Beverly Hills, Florida. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
