What about taking care of what God has given us? I would say that a lot of people live lifestyles of high consumption and never get to the point where they can save much of anything, let alone give back any thing to Gods work. Their in debt up to their eyeballs.
PS: read the book its quite an eye opener.

Manifestation is different for different people. I would assume that's up to the HS and likely has much to do with the faith and preparedness of the person. Some can see the spirits, Some merely get a sensation like dread that builds as one approaches the thing, Some are tipped by a sensation of smell - not my favorite because it usually is quite foul (like the smell of raw sewage in a septic system). A lot of times one will get a mix of these. These are the ones most common in my experience.
Back to sports talk? Man, some strange happenings in Dallas. The Stars are out and the Mavs advance. Who'd have thunk it?
Not even close!
I'm going to repost Isaiah 12:2, and follow it with the transliterated Hebrew:
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for GOD the LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.'
hine el yeshuati evtakh velo efkhad ki azi vezimrat ya adonai vayehi-li lishua
el yeshuati -- God is my salvation. This is the God in whom I believe and trust for my salvation. Do you believe and trust in Him for your salvation?
Is YHWH your God? Do you trust in His holy Name (Psalm 33:21)?
All of which is completely irrelevant. I used Doug's definition. He says he didn't think he said it. You accused me of manufacturing the definition from spin.
Instead, I show exactly what he said, and lo and behold, it is exatly what I said he said.
If I am no longer allowed to use people's own words in a discussion with them, then I will leave.
An honest man would apologize for calling me a liar now. Are you an honest man? Is Doug? Did I or did I not use the very definition he gave me?
(The point of whether life insurance is a "Gamble" or nto is beside the point. That was my interpretatino of the fact. But the definition I used was inded that Doug used. I am not a liar.)
I AM NOT A LIAR. BE A MAN

Learn to read what I say, instead of giving me the inquisition all the time.
GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE

Ok. Without reading the book I'm gonna take a guess and say no. :-)

What about this promise?
Behold, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.
He shall build a house for my name. He shall be my son, and I will be his father, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel for ever.' (1 Chronicles 22:9-10)
We didn't "invent" it, merely saw its use for fundraising.
Hyperbole on my part. Of course you know what I meant don't you?
Hey. The guy at the seminar made a pretty convincingly argument that YHWH of the OT is Yeshua. I'll be getting the tapes in the mail in a couple of days and then I'll post his case.
But it's so much fun to pick nits and pretend we don't understand another, isn't it?

Ok. Uncle. I did say "IF it turns out" that way. Obviously it didn't. :-) Either way, I'm convinced He's the son of David.
I had a much higher security clearance and it doesn't make diddlypoo to my brilliance. ;-)
I grant his story is possible.
You would be taken much more seriously in your efforts if you were even the slightest bit fair in your assessments honest.
Bullshit. You just are completely unable to see the ugliness of some of the non-Catholics here.
I know that actually quoting their words means nothing to you, you call me a liar anyway, but here is what Jim said in 51605:
I can relate to these feelings, that's how we feel when we see RC's, wasting time doing all those man made rituals and traditions that have no biblical support, when you could be spending quality time directly with God.
Where is his qualification here? Nowhere, that's where. He is not saying "some" Catholics do this. He says, authoritatvely, that "RCs" "waste their time" with gestures and stuff that isn't Biblical. And then, he counters this to "spending quality time" with God. As if all of the above, that the blanket "RCs" do has nothing to do with spending time with God.
I would probably die spiritually in your Church, as so might you in mine, but since God only sees the inner man, and not the outward appearance, I’m sure that the large percentage of what you do in your Church that doesn’t come from the heart, God doesn’t see any way.
This is only "certian" Catholics, and he just forgot to say so, right?
You disgust me.

Say you're 35 now and want to retire at 65 a millionaire, you make $50.000 a year, you invest 15% of your income over the 30 years and you earn say 8% and that is low over that peroid of time, it works out to about $150 a week invested, you would be worth $976,508.00 in cash plus your paid off assets, depending on your home you could be worth in the neighborhood of 1.5 million. Question is, can you live below your income or do you live from paychech to paycheck?
