[Mr. 5020]

Uh... no, not exactly, and I just explained why.

Let me try again....

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Good things are from God. Bad things are all the things that are not from God. Praising God for bad things would be misguided praise, while praising God for good things would be proper.

Now one might say... didn't you say you praised God for the freedom? And therefore couldn't a wicked guy praise Him for that freedom as well? To which I answered "sure"! Yet that praise would be misguided if that person used his freedom for wickedness and here is why....

A person can misuse a gift!

I might thank my father for giving me an axe. I thank him because I needed the axe to chop down trees for firewood. My father also gave my brother an axe and my brother is thankful for the gift, yet my brother misuses his gift and chops up his wife into little pieces :shocked: (that's a really awful thing). The gift is still good! Misusing the gift is bad.

Praising the father for the gift is good! The son praising the father for misusing the gift for evil would be misguided.

Makes sense. :up:

There was a mistake in my post that you quoted so I edited it. I hope you don't mind.

Is it just me, or does everyone have more rep points? Did I miss something over the weekend?

Oh, and thanks for adding the "you have posted in this thread" feature. Thats nifty.

its been a x10 increase in *everyones* rep power, that I can see. After which people have been doing some repping, and their reps are having more impact that before, obviously.

I assume that private means private.

However, I have never used it.

Do you have a favorite "e-calendar," or do you still use an old-school planner?
