RonD1120 58 #151 July 26, 2015 Amazon I have always thought that those who profess to be Christian... should at least be examples in their lives... of what the LORD taught. Everything I ever read about him as a man leads one to believe he loved his fellow man... and showed it in his actions and teachings. I have seen damn few of his supposed followers who live by those tenents. I suggest you become involved in a New Testament, Bible believing church. Seems as though you are believing that everything on the internet is true.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Nah he is more the KJV version... Approved by ole James I for another one true church and a panel of men who were the only ones approved to interpret the interpretation... of the interpretation... of the interpretation... of the only allowed books that were not destroyed by the group of men who felt the other books just were not politically correct for their day..... and those were the books that had survived the fire at Alexandria... set by good Christians who did not want all that Satanic Ancient learning being in the world... including many earlier works by I guess they figured not credible Christians.. or worse yet... Torahs.... the books of those who had Christ crucified. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if he desires knowledge and insight into the teachings of Jesus Christ, he can only obtain it through obedience." ~Oswald ChambersLook for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

The people, meaning believers, have a better chance of controlling preacher greed that we have controlling government greed. Bottom line people are gullible. With my church, I have a choice as to how much I donate and they only get some of my donations. Other charities benefit as well. I go to church for the fellowship. I believe in the salvation of Jesus Christ for eternal life, peace of mind, joy in my spirit and it is generally a good thing.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Coreeece 2 #165 July 28, 2015 QuagmirianGod belongs in religious education, not in the science classroom. That's probably my only opinion on this thread. Agreed...But that's not the issue in the OP. The issue is about having a conservative bias in social studies/history books...A majority of the text in question is more political than religious. Most religious references are generally limited to how the founding fathers were influenced by christianity. It's not really a big deal, but people just rather shout at the tide... ...and Noah's Arc.Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were they focused on themselves, or others? Did they have a self-centered theology, or a God centered-theology? Do you think I'm "feeling it" right now? Do you think Jesus was "felt it" when they spat on Him? Do you think the apostles "felt it" when imprisoned, beaten and then martyred?

The ignorance expressed by European posters as well as those trained in that philosophy used to really annoy me. Over the past six years I have come to realize that is just the way it is in these last days. The line has been drawn, the lots have been cast, the sheep are being separated from the goats. The path for salvation is narrow. The highway for destruction is wide. We must offer eternal life to all but very few will accept the gift. We are progressing toward the New World Order and the One World Government with the anti-Christ in charge. It cannot be stopped, only postponed. Postponement will be for a short time only. At this juncture the "church" is trying to determine whether the rapture, or the calling up of those in Christ, will occur pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation or post-tribulation. Regardless, most believe there is a good possibility it will occur in this generation. We are paying close attention to the events of this September for its connection to Shemitah.

But it's not true either. It is not meant for mankind to know the truth.
