The Whole Armour of God

By the way, before I start, I know I'm spelling 'armor' incorrectly. But that's the way it's spelled in the King James Bible, so, when refering the the Armour of God, I will spell it 'armour'. Besides, it's in the dictionary, anyway. =D

I'm making a page, "The Whole Armour of God", and I would like some help on a particular part. One of the things I'm doing on this page is listing the pieces of the Armour of God. There are six pieces of armour obviously stated, but at the end, prayer is also included, though there isn't a specific piece of armor given to it. I believe that prayer is most definitley a weapon of God as well as the Bible, just a different kind of weapon. Since there isn't a specific piece given, I figured, why not give it one myself? So, I've put a poll on my sidebar for this with a couple weapons I thought of, as well as an 'other' option. If you choose 'other', please comment on this post and tell me what weapon you would suggest. Remember, though, that I am (unless a good reason is commented otherwise) going to use a medieval weapon. This means I won't be using weapons such as guns, or any other weapon that would be considered a modern weapon. (Again, unless someone convinces me otherwise with a good reason. It would have to be a VERY good reason, though).

Thanks for participating!

God Is...

Before I give you the actual post, I want to let you know that I am NOT copying my sister! In fact, I had the idea to do this post at least a day before she did--she just got to posting it first! And actually, I haven't even been to her blog since before she posted her 'God is' post. Not that she's copying me, either. Neither of us had mentioned it to the other until she told me about it after she posted. Anyway, except for getting the idea from my dad (explained later), this post is original to me. =D Here's the actual post:


Last week Pastor was preaching at a revival meeting up in Indiana. Since he wasn't there for our Thursday night bible study, he asked dad to lead it instead. Instead of giving an 'informal sermon', dad decided to do a 'strict bible study', as he called it--strict as in it wasn't lead similar to a normal sermon, rather it would be a bible STUDY, in the real sense of the words. He did a keyword search on (I'm assuming) Sword Searcher and came up with a bunch of different verses with the phrase "God is" in them. He listed the references on a sheet of paper and, at the bible study, 'went around the circle' (the bible study is held in one of our church's member's homes) and assigned each person (well, those who can read anyway, which was about ten, since most of the church goes to the Wednesday night service. Obviously not the 2-year-old =D) anyway he assigned each person a verse to look up, and then each person read their verse when their turn came, then he'd 'go around the circle' again, until either all the verses had been read, or we ran out of time. After each verse was read, dad would make a comment about the 'God is' part of of the verse. Also, anyone else who had a thought, comment, question, etc, that they wanted to share could do so.

Dad's 'strict bible study' gave me an idea: why not do my own keyword search for 'God is' and put it on my blog??? Anyway, what I've done is I've, as I said, did the same keyword search my dad did, only I'm doing mine through biblegateway.com. I'll list, in the order that they appear in the Bible (since that's they way they'll show up in the search), the verses with their references. The 'God is' part of each verse will be in bold. I might put my own thoughts in, too, but probably not. I'll probably put anything I want to share in the comments. Anyway, please comment with any thoughts, comments, questions, etc, that you have about this. Part of the purpose of this post is to start a discussion about all the things that God is, or is not. You may want to look at the context of some of these verses to give you a better idea of what each verse truly means. All verses have been taken from the KJV. Word

By the way, if you're thinking, "This is too long!!!", then think about how you have the time to read all those long surveys. If you can set aside the time to read those, then shouldn't you have so much more time to read something like this??? However, if you really don't have enough time to read this (as I do admit that this will be extremely long) then maybe just read a few of the verses. Then when you have some time later, you can read a few more. Well, anyway, I'm anxious to start, so, enjoy!

Taken Tag

No one tagged me on this one... I "stole" it again... from Katie again. Sorry Katie. But then, I know you don't mind, do you? =D

Anyway, here's the tag:

~What's Your Favorite~
Color? Black, blue, red, or yellow, or a mix. Of course, if your talking symbolism... Red, White, & Blue!!!!!!!!!!
Main dish? Um... Cheeseburger Pasta, maybe? I'm really not sure at all. AT ALL.
Dessert? Um...
Drink? Has anyone realized that this question has been on EVERY tag I've done so far? I'm not kidding--EVERY ONE. And, of course, I've put the same answer EVERY time: Voltage Mountain Dew!!!
Veggie? Corn?


~Do You~
Go to Starbucks Coffee Shop? yes
Go to the mall a lot? no
Talk on the phone everyday to someone who is not family? Well, I don't have my own phone. Yet. =( But if I did, I probably would! Well, maybe not EVERY day, but most days, definately!!!
Read you Bible everyday? Well, I can't honestly say I read it EVERY day... I don't think anyone can really say that! But I do try... unfortunately, only most of the time, though.
Do lots of reading? YES!!!
See your grandparents everyday? Unfortunately, no. They either live too far away, or are busy all the time! (Except mom's mom, but she lives 3 hours away--farther than anyone else--but, ironically, we see her the most! (versus our other relatives who, generally, live about 30 minutes-an hour away.))
Bake a lot? No, but I think I might if I had a reason to.
Clean your room everyday? Well, yes, of course! =D
Have to say your sorry to someone everyday? Well, no, not EVERY day. What is it with these 'everyday' questions, anyway??? Enough of those already!!! =P


~A Certain Thing You Dislike of Each Category~
Veggie? Stinky feet, aka brussels sprouts!
Color? Well this is a silly question--I don't dislike any color!!! Well, except pink--not the biggest fan.
Drink? Unsweetened ice tea.
Animal? Can't think of any... I don't think I really dislike any animal--though some can by very pesky sometimes! aka BUGS!!! lol


~Do You Have A~
Pet? Yes!!! MY cat, Torri! And a frog (1 died--miss nobody put a thing in the tank that killed it. The ball thing just went right through the lid without any evidence of doing so... ya, right! lol), and ants!
Gift card at the moment? no
Sewing machine? Um, does my mom's count? She has two, but one was a figt, and the one I like better, she doesn't really like at all. (Actually, that's pretty normal--for the most part, if I like something, especially if I REALLy like it, she doesn't, & vice versa. LOL)
Big mess under your bed? No! Of course not!
Pack of gum in your bag or purse? Nope.
Computer in your room? Yes! My laptop!


~Have You Ever~
Been on a plane? yes
Been out of state? yes
Been out of the country? yes
Been in an eight-teen wheeler? yes
Been in a car accident? I think mom was in one when she was pregnant with me (does that count???) Other than that, no.
Read about a hundred and fifty page book in about an hour? yes


~Your Favorite Place To~
Go shopping? Shopping? What's shopping? Isn't that where people go and come back all tired & grumpy??? lol. Actually, I don't really think it's THAT bad, it depends on what I'm shopping for--I just had that thought and thought it was kind-of funny. Anyway, the answer to that question would be Kohls, or maybe Pebbles.
Eat out? Fast food: McDonalds. Eat-in: Italian (basically any Italian restaurant--Italiano Delight, Carabba's, Olive Garden), Shady Maple, Chuck E. Cheese... I think that's it.
Go visit? Grandma's (mom's mom) house!!! And, of course, various historical sites & vacation areas--if that can be considered visiting.
Read a good book at? I used to climb up to the top of a tall pine tree in our front yard, but I'm not allowed to anymore (due to a telephone line). There's also a little thing we call "The Plataeu" that's near our house that I like to read at--I'm not sure what it really is, though.


~Random~
What color is your room? If that means the walls, they're a cream color (same as when we moved in--not my choice). If that means the main color in my room, that would have to be a neutral-colored wood--again, that's just what we happen to have.
Do you share a room with anyone? *Ugh*, yes--a messy sister that throws her cloths not only on the floor of HER side of the closet, but MINE as well! lol
Have you ever went swimming in a pond? yes
How old are you? Exactly? 15 years, 6 months, 3 weeks, 2 days. In case you haven't noticed by now, I like being exact.
What year were you born? Hm, I wonder. Can't you figure that out from the previous question??? lol. 1994
Are you related to anyone important or famous? There's a bunch of possablities (according to last names & such), but we don't have any real proof. YET! Anccestry.com is my friend!!! lol
Have you ever met a vice president? yes, I think so--whoever was vice president under President George W. Bush. (I don't remember who it was at the moment.)
Are you getting bored yet? No! Of course not! I LOVE filling out tags/surveys/quizes/etc. like this!
What are you thinking? I'm thinking, "What am I thinking?" How about you, after reading that question??? lol


~Who You Will Tag~
Everyone I can think of!!!
Katie (yes, I got it from your blog, but you did it a long time ago, and you said you like doing these things--especially when your bored from reading a Ms. Angela-recommended book (;P), so go ahead and fill'er out again!)
Angela (my sis)
Ms. Angela
And it comes to a grand total of 23!
