Acceptance by faith in Christ's Blood etc. is quite different from earning godship by following all the Mormon dictrines and practices and wearing the right underwear.

[CARepubGal]

Funny, Mormons insist on a Burning of the Bosom when presenting your message. So is feeling only a bad thing for Christians to have but acceptable for your group?

}The 144K are representative of the saved Jews

Only 3 of those tribes named eventually were called Jews. The others were never called Jews but received the same promises.

Satan used to be an obedient angelic being, until he disobeyed and fell from grace.

Heart-felt, to me,

is QUITE BEYOND feelings though it includes feelings.

WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH, not feelings.

BUT PRAISE GOD FOR THE FEELINGS.

Heart-felt means, to me a deep heart-conviction lived out at more or less every opportunity.

[EternalVigilance]

Ping!

Psst. It's Hanes. Don't let anyone tell you it's Fruit of the Loom.

Some say the Jew is not saved unless he/she finds Christ.

If one studies Torah...really studies...learns the true Hebrew root meaning to the word conveyance alligned to Shabbat[Sabbath]...the relationship and promisary fullfillment on the Creators part with those who understand...partake and glory in it.

Those who understand Sabbath...understand that it is not just one day a week...but everyday.
Its the delight of drawing near with expectation....with expectation of meeting Him who lives forever...who has breathed the "Ruach Ha Kodesh"....the Holy Spirit ....His devine presence into us that partake of Shabbat.

For the Hebrew servant who rises each day.....the prayer goes forth in the Kaddish Shalem....for the sanctification of the day.
Which is an appeal and a confirmatory declaration..that between the morning ..the night..and the next days sun is all life..which is a gift to man..whose origin is not of this world.

Concerning Shabbat and all who enter in.....the Lord reply's to the one standing before him,
"Ki bayom haze y'chaper aleichem"......
"For on that day....you shall be forgiven of all your sins"

Those who wish to tell Jews about sin and salvation should know that those who follow Torah clearly understand Salvation...the gift of the Holy Spirit...and a very sure sense that they are personaly loved by the Lord.

EiN SoF.....Light without end

Catholics

Yes, there are those vile idiots that insist that Catholics are not Christians.

This Jew - me - says that this Rabbi should just mellow out. If Jews want to convert to Christianity, and they're not being coerced into doing so, it's okay with me.

Now, if any Jews even consider converting to Islam, then I recommend institutionalizing the nutballs. ;-)

I'm much more wary of folks WITHOUT EVIDENT FEELINGS in any obvious or easily discernable degree or way

than I am with people who seem to have an excess of feelings.

The former are much, much, MUCH closer to sociopaths.

BESIDES, AS I'VE NOTED--I suspect I could find hyper emotionalism in virtually any group--it just depends on how one defines it and what the issues and modes of expression are.

It is HUMAN to have emotions--even strong ones. It's more of a hazardous aberration to be without them--certainly psychologically--but also in my experience sociologically and philosophically.

Satan used to be an obedient angelic being, until he disobeyed and fell from grace.

See, that's what my "emotional", "sectarian" viewpoint was, too.

Heck, I think I even remember that Satan was cast out for...well, wanting to be God. I can't think of any religion that says we'll all become gods...

Oh, wait. I guess I do know of one.

Hello Brother! :-)

Yeah like http://www.mjaa.org/StatementOfFaith.html

Wow, what an awesome site (sight)! Thanks for the link.

The 144,000 in the book of Revelations is probably, like much of what John recorded from that vision, symbolic.

12 is a perfect number; 12 times 12 is perfection by perfection; 1000 is analogous with eternity. So 12 times 12 times 1000 is perfection through all time.

John was seeing that a perfect number of people of the first covenant would be saved and set apart for all time. As John was a Jew, as were all but one writer of the New Testament, he was happy to see that his own people would be included in the plan of salvation; that Jews would come to know their Messiah and not reject him as they had the prophets.

}Doctor Luke was a Gentile.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wern't most of the apostles Benjamites? I think only Judas was from the tribe of Judah.

While Benjamites joined with Levites to create the Southern Kingdom eventually named Judea, and after that place received the nickname "Jew", the Benjamites were never really friendly with the Judahites. (Neither were the other 10 tribes). After Jesus death I think the Benjamites pretty much went their own way.

Michael, the Archangel, was the man Adam. Gabriel was Noah in mortality.

And I'm a saguaro cactus.

[Gurn]

Off the top of my head, I would think James (Christ's brother, not the other son of Zebedee) would be a "Judah-ite", in that his father, Joseph, was of the House of Judah.

[Quix]

LOL!

I thought it might be Mariott!

[Mr. Mojo]

12 is a perfect number

Please explain.
