I don't think you read my post. 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.

I have no idea where you are going with your Scripture reference. Gal 1:6-9. In that passage Paul is addressing the believers in response to their being influenced by the Judaizers. I did not hear anything contrary to Apostolic teaching. I was given a revelatory understanding of the body as the "temple of the Holy Spirit." No reason to call that "accursed." On the contrary, it was validation to me that I was loved by God and in relation with Him through Jesus Christ. I refer you to my post on "The Roman Road" regarding asking Jesus to come into a sinner's life. How would you explain to a sinner the methodology of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? The Holy Spirit always guides the believer toward Jesus Christ and produces good fruit, Gal 5:22,23. On the other hand the spirit of the Antichrist is divisive.

That is sad and ignorant. The parents could have looked to the Christian Medical and Dental Association for a referral within their faith. http://www.cmda.org/ God works through doctors as well as all professions.

Me thinks you have the last word! 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.

Made my day. Thanks. 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.

Another one of those ... Does it never occur to those people that the voices were caused by the mood altering chemicals? I was studying the Bible and praying at the time. No substances had been ingested for several weeks. 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.

But that's the flaw of logic that I see in so many religious arguments. The "burden of proof" is not to produce evidence to disprove religious beliefs, but to produce evidence to prove them. Is personal sworn testimony, under oath, admissible as evidence? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

To kneel at the foot of the cross is an expression that the sinner has accepted Jesus Christ's atoning death through crucifixion, surrendered control and asked Jesus to come into his life and take control. Why the two year delay? To step on the path of salvation requires learning and growth. The sinner is born again and begins as a new creature in Christ. Just as with any learning, it takes time, line upon line, precept upon precept. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. You are never forced or given more than God's grace will cover.

Is it possible to convey this to us? Take care, space I have tried on several occasions. However, I will assume you are asking in honesty. In Mar 81 the Holy Spirit guided me to the foot of the cross, I surrendered and experienced the forgiveness of sin. In Apr 83 I asked for and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Shortly thereafter I heard the audible voice of the Lord and was instantly delivered from the desire for nicotine and mood altering chemicals. *** Acts 13:38 (New King James Version) 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” 1 Corinthians 6:19 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

And the gods looked down upon the blasphemous worshiper in disfavor. For they found him consorting with Javelin. 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.

And I (and the other 5 billion non-christians on the planet) have experiential "evidence" that indicates you're not. I'm OK with that. No worries. 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.

If it were merely an intellectual choice you would have a very good point. However, I have experiential evidence that indicate I am on the correct path. No worries.

I like this one from James David Manning, PhD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hFiab7fjak 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.

I reckon the 1.2 billion Muslims on this planet would not agree. But there all wrong aren't they Oh, they are way left of wrong. 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.

I gotta admit, that's pretty phar out dude. Kinda reminds me to the Neo American Church and their Boo Hoo Bible. 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.

I think you're fooling yourself if you ever thought it did. Your comment made me so sad I had to go for a drive to collect my thoughts. No, I am not fooled or foolish because I believe in the American way. In my family all the males served our great country during war time. My grandfather volunteered for the US ARMY in 1916 to fight against Germany, his family heritage, because he believed in America. My father worked in a defense plant during WWII because it was right and good, for America. My uncles fought in both the European and the Pacific theater, volunteers, because the were dedicated to America and what we stood for in the world. I served in the volunteer military at the beginning of the Vietnam War when we were training special ops to go train the South Vietnamese because I believed America was the answer to communist aggression. During the 1960's skydivers were the most dedicated Americans in the country. Competition was focused on one purpose, the US TEAM must beat the CCCP TEAM at the World Meet. I hold lifetime memberships in the Vietnam Veterans of America, Combat Control Association and Air Commando Association. When I attend a veterans meeting I join in the Pledge of Allegiance and the prayer of invocation. Whenever I am out in public and hear the Star Spangled Banner I stand at attention, face the direction of the music and place my hand over my eart. When the U.S. Flag passes by me I stand at attention and now it is authorized to present the hand salute or place my hand over my heart. Maybe American nationalism means nothing to you but don't ever allow yourself to slip into the fantasy belief that it doesn't mean something to others. Ask some of your jumping buds in SEAL Team Six down at San Diego or the US MARINES at Camp Pendleton or Twenty-nine Palms about nationalism and what America means to them. Joseph Stalin predicted that America would fall like a ripe apple from the tree. I am deeply, deeply saddened by your statement, because it appears that you would like to see it happen. I sincerely hope I am mistaken in that regard. 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.

So, what you're saying is that we better indoctrinate the little tikes early before they can think about it. This way it will be easier to force other jingoistic ideals down their throats later so they can fight off the invading horde from the south (and the north). Dude, I have a job for YOU in 1938 Germany. Brainwashing is never a good idea. It looks to me like you stopped reading after the first point. Really? Even when I specifically referenced the third? Why do you think being "nationalistic" is good? Is that a an honorable goal in and of itself? I mean, lot of folks in places like China are extremely "nationalistic", does that somehow equate with being a good country or is it instead a symptom of a country devoted to indoctrination of mindless obedience? Nazi Germany was nationalistic. Were they they good guys? I don't think it makes any sense whatsoever to have forced false pride in a country. I think it makes much more sense to educate children and show them what makes the country worth having pride in and letting them figure it out for themselves. It no longer matters if I think nationalistic pride in America is of any value. Obviously, us old school guys are out. I stated it was anachronistic. You are picking argument where none exists. Egocentric thought rules! Hooray for me and screw everyone else. However, it is difficult to organize a parade when everyone is marching to the beat of a different drum.

I think nationalistic binding is a good thing but I believe it is rapidly losing favor along with the progressive wussification of America. Training is what you initiate in the neophyte. Brainwashing is when you erase the training and replace it with something else. Revelation is when you see a better way. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I think the desire is egotistical, greedy, selfish, ... (Not to mention I think the answer shows doubt.) Please forgive my skydiver sarcasm. It is difficult for me to maintain a serious focus when my imagination indicates that I am attempting to communicate with a cartoon character. If the rapture is true and, I believe it is, to be translated straight to heaven in my physical body would be the ultimate rush. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

First, I think kids should say the PoA at the beginning of the school day because it binds them together in the spirit of nationalism. Second, I believe that nationalism is anachronistic and is being discouraged at every political opportunity. Third, I believe the goal of our government is to create the North American Union with Canada and Mexico. Fourth, as a former Taoseno and NM resident, I recall the state motto from one of their first senators, Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Trust me my friend, the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent creator of the universe has no "common" sense. 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.

I did, that's why it's laughable. Watching people arguing about religion is like watching two five year olds arguing about who has the best imaginary friend. Matthew 18:3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Why? If you have to ask, you would not understand the answer. 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.

Yes, just like witch doctors. BTW, that is the position taken by Scientology. Yes, Scientologists would be a SUB-set of people with that belief. Your point? No point, just comment.
