Most of the BIBLE BELIEVING (even though you don't have the complete set of books) ones here are just pathetic.
Do any of you hear yourselves? Is this how you talk to people in your personal life? If so, I would be amazed if you ever convinced someone who was searching for Christ that you had even the faintest clue.
I’ve long been of a similar opinion about that.
Blessings,
Maybe they were plucked from one point in time and place and immediately placed in another.Similar to Phillip?
Imagine being on the temple mount and all of a sudden a mighty rush of wind and some big hairy looking dude on a chariot comes crashing in! A whole 'nother slant on reaping the whirlwind.
Enoch simply "was not for God took him".Maybe Enoch was describing not so much a vision but was actually there! It's enough to fry your brain.
The religion forum open threads have been like this for years.
Hey freedumb. What's up? You played the race card and then went silent. Are you a one trick pony?
I don't want you to accuse me of assigning motives or reading your mind. You failed to respond to my last post. Are you conceding that your accusation was merely projection?
Do a google search on me and Willie "Obsessive Train Disorder" Green and see how I handled his Race Baiting.
Dane also played the race card. Have you noticed? It doesn't quite work very well on FR.
Stay classy, Baby.
And that came from Post #666! LOL!!
Hey, if you're going to imply that my post is demonic, then drum up the courage to say it to my face!
Now THAT is funny! lol
I've seen it in my own family. Some are RC including a cousin who is a Priest. I also have cousins who are Baptist Preachers on another side of my family. We understand we serve one Savior Jesus Christ. My Priest Cousin has given the funeral service for several of us Protestant family members. It makes more sense family do it than a stranger.
Unless a church completely rejects The Gospel I see them as being under Grace for GOD's Divine purpose. The fact Protestant Churches as well have withstood the test of time meets the standards Christ set in these verses.
Luke Ch 9 36Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, 37“Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes my Father who sent me.” 38John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t one of our group.” 39“Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs miracles in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. 40Anyone who is not against us is for us. 41If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I assure you, that person will be rewarded.
Verse 39, 40, and 41 apply to ALL churches as well.
Which, my response or what I was responding to?
LOL! Are you Post #666?
Demanding a poster say something to your FACE. This IS a message board w/folks from all over the globe. I dunno, just cracked me up! No offense.
Well, my contributions to thread have been a bit more than just #666, but I certainly didn’t appreciate the implication there.
Well, my digital self. ;-)
Judith Anne, no place has to be a free for all. There are many forums I visit where people can disagree on major religious issues and yet are respectful of others.
There is no learning here. No listening to others. It sounds like a bar fight. Thank God no one has weapons handy. I can just imagine what it would be like then.
Obviously my mistake, I am used to civility. Hell, I’m used to civilization.
See you.
And you know what? That’s what these uncivilized almost primates want.
LOL It’s all good. I knew what you meant but had to laugh. :)
Their superiority excuses them from common decency.
Thick skin is required on "open" RF threads.
If you are not comfortable with this town square style of debate, then IGNORE "open" RF threads altogether and instead post to threads labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "prayer" or "devotional."
Why would Jesus talk to a man who was dead? Lazarus could not hear! Lazurus had already passed and was totally incapable of raising himself from the dead any more than you or I could. So what was going on here? Jesus was not issuing a command. Jesus loved and respected Lazarus and would never issue a “command” to him. No, Jesus would have made a heartfelt plea to Lazarus to come back to the living, just as you might tell a dying uncle to please not go and to come back. A command? No. Jesus could have simply had the thought and it would have happened. What took place was Jesus praying aloud for everyone to hear for Lazarus to arise from the dead. This is extremely important for us to understand. And to whom did Jesus pray? To Himself? To the Holy Spirit? To God the Father? No. Jesus prayed to Lazarus! Jesus here shows us that yes we can communicate to the dead through prayer! God hears these prayers and intercedes on our behalf.
“What a joke. Jesus, God Himself come in the flesh, PRAYING to a mere man????”
Prayer is communication, it is not adoration, although you certainly can include adoration within your prayers. Many people like yourself don’t understand that prayer goes two ways. God prays to us and for us. Sometimes prayer is not pleasant at all. How many times have people prayed to God and questioned Him or made selfish requests? How many times does God answer with a message we don’t want? Open your mind to the power of prayer and you will be closer to God.
