<r>For some reason, I have not been able to sign in for a couple of weeks. It appears to be fixed now. Just making an observation here..... People like pit-bulls because they clamp down and hang on, they don't care where they grab, just as long as its something. <br/>
<br/>
Ted, when you look in ...

<r>YES! Condi for President; By all means!! To read your post here is sooo refreshing. There are still people like us and Shaun Hannity around, probably millions more of "us" than of "them". LOL<br/>
<br/>
I have long said that liberal lefties only believe in freedom for folks of a certain ...

<t>Just about every one of the christian "churches" who claim christianity have some sort of "council" as some call it who decides what to believe, who to believe, who goes to heaven, and who goes to hell. There are no two of these different denominational councils who agree exactly. They appear to ...

I hear one can buy a woman from the Phillipines. I guess if you dont see anything you like in the pile of 50 million women here.....

Like finding something at the dollar store that you could not find in any store at the mall!

The founding fathers were colonists.

<t>There is a moral code in nearly all of civilization, not just with Christians. The Koran teaches right from wrong, the Teachings of Buddha also teach right and wrong morals. <br/>
<br/>
There are also civilizations from the past who practiced immorality, IE=human sacrifice, etc. Most of so ...

Because He created Japan and the Japanese people. If He was Japanese then how could that be considering he had not create Japanese yet? LOL

The same goes for black women, amoebas, and viagra salesmen. How did you get on Mr. Viagra's mailing list? Hmm?:wah: :wah: :wah:

<t>I read this whole thread and found one thing to be true. there are as many differing opinions as there are posts here. That is not a bad thing, it simply proves that mankind is stumbling around in darkness. <br/>
<br/>
The New Testament speaks of the "mystery". Truth is a mystery to those who ...

<r>How would you go about proving this factually and scripturally rather than opinion? You could use this argument to discredit anything and everything contained in scripture. If that is possible to do, why even bother with this?<br/>
<br/>
><br/>
<br/>
You have stated as fact that the words are ...

<t>In all probability, that dessert also has an english, spanish, german, and chinese name. Your point is.......<br/>
<br/>
Japanese culture is fraught with myths. Myths have no basis in truth.<br/>
<br/>
Ted, you testify to having a heart of unbelief. You are unable to discern the things of God ...

They did not put it in the Bible, it was already IN the New Testament books that God allowed by His Grace for us to read.

Remember, God allowed Babylon to conquer Israel even though Babylon itself was ungodly (notice I did not say evil.) :yh_youkid

“Whether or not you like it that is precisely how the canon of scripture was founded. It was founded by a groups of folks mostly bishops and priests in the early church councils. They examined hundreds of documents before they decided on the ones we ...

This is my Beloved Son; Hear ye HIM!

- God

He does not encourage us to form an opinion and decide what we choose to believe, He says to "Hear ye Him."

<t>Actually in my Bible one has to believe it and obey it in order to be Born Again. There is nothing in there commanding me to believe and/or receive. I think you are referring to that doctrine of "inviting Jesus into your heart" in order to be saved. That teaching is very prevalent nowadays, but ...

<t>True statement that you shared and vital if Jesus is our Head.<br/>
<br/>
The question remains, at what time in our life do we obey Jesus and the Apostles by being born again? <br/>
<br/>
John 3:3 thru 5 seems infleible as far as what must be accomplished in one's life in order to see into, and ...

<t>Very well said, your excerpt from the book. I certainly understand what the girl with the kidney problems must be facing. I just lost my younger brother this past year. He had kidney failure. <br/>
<br/>
None of us can avoid depression to some degree. She is not a hypocrite unless her trial ...

<t>For what its worth, this addresses your statements on will.<br/>
<br/>
We know what scripture says about the will of man, and the will of God. I used to use the term "free moral agents" when on this subject, and that would be accurate also in describing this will that is within all men. In this ...

The same way that all those people who are in Japan have safely assumed it. :rolleyes:

<r>They must think that Jesus was Japanese too if his brother was! Mary & Joseph were Jewish, of course Jesus father was God, so this would make Jesus and his brother Japanese/Jewish? We can safely assume that God is not japanese, so the asian blood could not have come from Him. LOL Funny story. <E ...

<t>This subject has been at the forefront of my studies for some time now. The idea that a group of men got together and "decided" what books were or were not part of God's Word is incredible arrogance on their part. <br/>
<br/>
The apostles were instructed to preach the GOSPEL from the time the ...

<t>There are several opinions even among friends concerning what the steps to true Salvation are.<br/>
<br/>
How do we know when, like exactly what day in our life we become "in Christ Jesus?" <br/>
<br/>
Are we obligated to follow Jesus` instructions on being Born Again in John 3:1 thru 6?</t>
