  1. No argument here. The question pertained to the importance of protection. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  2. Yes, because they are animals. They are here to serve Man not to be served by Man. They do not have a soul. They are not held accountable. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  3. We used them for cigarette papers in the 80's when we were teenagers! I'm sure they have plenty of other good purposes, like a door stop, wind drift indicator, tinder for lighting the fireplace... No problem, without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the reader it is just another book. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  4. Don't be concerned. There is no Scriptural justification or authority for or with infant baptism. You are off the hook. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  5. Guilty as well, but, my guilt is by choice not birth. You cannot be born a Christian. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  6. It is actually much simpler than you think. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that who ever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." Our good & moral works will never cut it. HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!!!!! ... The power in the life of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not His birth but rather in His death. Therein lies the gift. Merry Christmas; Easter is coming. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  7. See my posts #49 and #40. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  8. 2 Corinthians 6 (New American Standard Bible) 14Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? The Bible clearly warns us not to be in relationship with someone of a different faith. We always have choices and there are no guarantees in life. If both persons have the same faith then they have a common rule or foundation when troubles arise and, they will. Yea, no I can see your thought process there...same way Hitler felt about the Jews. Your religious conclusions absolutely disgust me. Do really think you are "better" than non-believers? You really expect someone to accept a faith that promotes segregation? Are you even listening to yourself? You sound like any other person who caused segregation in this country, I imagine people had this same mind set when the US was still a white black segregated country. My goodness, you are so eager to try and put me down you fail to read the words I post. See my post #40 this thread. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  9. In the USA men, including husbands, are expendable. Change is always a male responsibility. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  10. Where do you draw the line? Theists and Atheists? Theists and Agnostics? Christians and Muslims? Protestants and Catholics? Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox? Presbyterians and Baptists? LDS and FLDS? The history of religion shows us that the lack of an external faith to hate yields more and more particular sectarian divisions. I don't draw the line at all. People may enter relationship as they choose, obviously. My post stands on the reasoning that two people of the same faith have a common foundation.

  12. if god is all powerfull, why doesnt he just get rid of satan, and the forces of darkness? He has done just that. With the incarnation of Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection the forces of darkness have been defeated and their eternal fate has been determined. The victory over darkness and spiritual death is a free gift for us to accept. The choice to accept that gift is a free will decision by each one of us. Merry Christmas, the gift is for you too.

  13. It seems to me that was the worldly condition when Jesus Christ of Nazareth appeared on the scene. The world was pretty much the Israelites, the Jews, and others, the pagan or heathen. The Jews had the Mosaic Law and Jesus taught that relationship with the Father was not just a matter of the Law. So, the Jewish leaders had Him crucified by the pagans. Satan believes he can become more powerful than God. He thought he won the battle when Christ died on the cross. When Jesus arose in victory over death a new paradigm of warfare was established. Satan did not know that the Father could and would create an eternal sacrifice for sin that would forever satisfy the law. Satan now creates confusion to obfuscate the truth. His influence is channeled through the five senses i.e., what the mortal sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes. That sensory information is analyzed and organized in the mind. The truth of relationship with the Creator is in the heart. The battle is in the mind. The soul of the mortal is at stake. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  14. Ephesians 2 (New American Standard Bible) Made Alive in Christ 1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Be at peace and of good cheer. The Scripture above describes the difference between the lost and the saved, particularly as it pertains to skydivers. Satan is the prince of power of the air. When you and others, such as I, attempt to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ we are immediately confronted by the forces of darkness. We are only required to share the truth of the Gospel, that we have overcome, by the word of our testimony and the blood of the Lamb. We are not responsible for the actions or decisions of others. Maintain your light and saltiness. Greater is He that is in you, the he that is in the world. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  16. According to Dr. Tony Compolo, the only reason for Christmas is Easter. When looking at the life of Jesus Christ of Nazareth it is not His birth that is important. The emphasis is on His death. That was His sole purpose for incarnation. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  17. Don't attempt erudition without adequate knowledge. Learn the definition of your terms, otherwise you are just yapping. Got your leash? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  18. Not true. He now speaks to us through the New Testament for we are under the new covenant of grace through faith and we have the Holy Spirit through the revealing of Jesus Christ. During the period of the old covenant, recorded in the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit was not always present and Christ was concealed. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  19. If this was a Wall Street maneuver it would be termed a hostile takeover. That is when one financial interest purchases the controlling interest in a corporation. In your situation, the motives or hidden agenda of the CBHI are of no matter. If they have the financial clout to gain control of your aerodrome your only hope for survival is to negotiate. Someone once said, "In business you do not get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate." Good luck, retain a knowledgeable attorney. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  20. Well, I think the solution is obvious. It's time to expand the scope and frequency of the "Chute and Shoot Boogies." Edit to add: For the children's sake.

  21. Leviticus 20:13 (New American Standard Bible) 13'(A)If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. The NAS seems to compare one to many. Therefore, both males have committed an abomination. In regard to Rev 14:3-5, I'm not clear on your point. This Scripture refers to the 12,000 from each of the 12 Tribes of Israel. The prophecy indicates they will be virgins, Ergo, no sexual experience. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is their first and only love. It is a spiritually committed relationship and therefore not physical. That is how I read it.

  22. There are some scholars who believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was born around the end of October. That would shed new meaning to the evolution of Halloween.

  23. The Bible also speaks out about male bisexuality homosexuality (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13), so what conclusions are we to draw? You misread the Scripture.
