He places commentary from a religious point of view. I find a verse I believe is appropriate. He retaliates with another. I give another back. We have been doing this for a week or so. :D :P

We have been known to join a forum of interest and start tossing verses at various posters. We are very careful of whom we send them toward! :!: :!: :!:

What did they call the Indian's used in WW2 for working with codes? Was it Wind Talkers? That was also a pretty good movie.

If memory serves, it was Code Talkers. I totally do not remember which Indian language was used.

It was either "Windtalkers" or "Codetalkers". anyway it was talking in the native American tongue and the Japanese couldn't crack the code. When you google either one or both they both come up.

I believe it was Navajo and they used them in every major battle in the Pacific during the war.

I believe you are correct. When I saw the name, I remembered.

I think the name of the movie was Wind Talkers. They were a very effective unit. I don't think they ever figured out the language.

Correct, there are only a few still around. I had the great pleasure of meeting 3 of them last year. They are trying to teach their grandchildern their native tongue and keeping their traditions alive.

I hope that they can do that, as those traditions, and their language, are very important to them and America.

Isn't it so refreshing! I think that the purest faith and belief is what is in a child. That was so sweet AuntiE, thank you!

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18.

The Trust and Faith of a child dependent on it's parents is impeccable, pure. The Trust and Faith in an Adult's belief in our Lord God is to become the same. (without doubt)

Jesus washed Judas’ feet


Jesus pouring water from jug to pan to wash feet of disciples

I’ve been reading through the Bible chronologically this year with one of The Bible Study App’s reading plans. Right now, I’m reading the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper. I’m struck again by Jesus. At the last meal they would have together before the cross, the Messiah, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, takes off his robes, wraps a towel around himself and washes the disciples’ feet (John 13:1-20). I’ve read this account that’s only recorded in John’s Gospel dozens of times. Yet, like the Holy Spirit often does, this passage was made anew as I read it recently.

Here’s what struck me: Judas was heavily influenced by Satan (if not possessed) at this point (Luke 22:36, John 13:2), but Judas was present for Jesus to wash his feet. I find this humbling and encouraging. What?!? Yes, encouraging. Why? Because even though Jesus KNEW Judas was going to betray Him, Jesus served him. Jesus knew what was in Judas’ heart. He knew the betrayal was coming. Jesus knew the anguish that was coming. The beatings, the scourging, the agonizing walk to Golgotha, and the ultimate torture, the cross. Yet, even in this moment of humbling Himself, Jesus washed Judas’ feet, this man Judas who was pivotal in fulfilling the Scriptures and prophecies about the Suffering Servant. Jesus humbled Himself and SERVED His greatest enemy.

I don’t know about you, but I have trouble serving my closest loved ones. I find it difficult to humble myself, to serve, and to put others’ needs before my own. I can’t fathom putting a backstabber’s needs in front of my own.

At the same time, that is what I am. I am the backstabber, the betrayer. I am the one who put Jesus on the cross. It is my sin that put Jesus there. How many times have I turned from God’s grace to live, act, be, and do what I want for my own selfishness? But Jesus served me by going to the cross. This is humbling because of my sin, but encouraging because of how much Jesus loves me. Even though Jesus knows me, He served me. Even though Jesus knew that I would betray Him, He went to the cross willingly.

John 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

Here is my example. I am to serve, love, and do for others like Jesus did for me. I am to put down my own needs, my own p***e, and serve others, even those who will betray me. Even those who will turn their backs on me. I am to love and serve as our Lord and Teacher Jesus Christ loved and served me
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: br br Jesus wash... (show quote)


I have always wondered at this story, Jesus knew Judas would betray him, and He knew the consequences of the betrayal, but He also knew it was in the plan of redemption that it be carried out. Now that is love of a magnitude awesome and nearly impossible to assimilate as a mere human sinner. What love our God has for us all.
