really?

The point I am trying to make is that no Bible-believing church has the right or the authority to cancel worship on the Lord's Day in order to engage its members in any other activity. That is not according to the Holy Spirit, but it is according to the flesh and humanistic thinking. In other words, you have a right to be concerned about this, and you do have a right to criticize if you are a member of this church. If you feel that this is not the direction in which your church should be going, you are more than welcome to print my response and send it to the pastor and elders of your church, and let them mull it over. It is about time that Christians start speaking out when their churches start going off the rails. I agree. If you feel that this is not the direction in which your church should go, then by all means talk to your pastor about it, like ayin said... he must have a reason for taking such action. On the other hand Ezra, i don't think we have a right to say that his actions (the pastor's action) is based on the flesh and not the spirit of God. And i think the word "criticize" is a bit out of place. Yes, we are encouraged to test all spirit, and though i don't have a specific scripture reference for this, i believe we can inquire of our leaders why they take certain decision.

Of all the kings mentioned in this story and in the bible, he is the only one who's origin (in terms of mother, father etc) was not known.... and i know this because the bible says so. Hello my brother, friendly conversation, for discovery, no nobody goes to trial, unless we have, the discovery meetings in Civil Law and the Disclosure and or a pretrial in Criminal matters and remember the Apeal avenue. We are not in trial yet, I need to discover things, Please can you tell what is in the bible ( it's a good but tricky question) before the book of Hebrews was added? About Melhisedec. I will appreciate your response, Your brother Timothy. I have no idea what the first part of your post means, but from the second part, i assume you're asking me for reference to what i said... The only reference to the "non-existence" of Melchizedek's father or mother is in Hebrews.

You do have a point, i have had that discussion with a friend before. But i most say, you sound a bit angry... I think you could have been more "friendly" with your opinion, everyone is entitled to one.

Glory to God for ever.

Good advice.

You read my mind... Dawn ...

Not sure about completely being forsaken by God, i say this because their is no example of such in the scripture (not that i know of anyway), God always forgives if we only learn to humble ourselves, forsake our sins and turn around for good. But i don't think its about "repenting...enough to get in the favor of Jesus again", no matter how many times we seek his forgiveness, i believe God only forgives if it comes from a genuine heart... so, even if you repent a hundred times, you receive forgiveness when / if it comes from your heart. Although, most of the time, the problem we have is self forgiveness... and so we somehow reduce God to the level of a man, thinking to ourselves... "no way he'll forgive me just like that... i better ask again"... But if we believe the word of God, then we can truly accept his forgiveness and then learn to forgive ourselves. I have learnt that God is always waiting with open hands to accept us.

Is photo-shopping lying?

Science is not evil... Science helps us appreciate God more...

That's right to say it isn't the mark. For the Antichrist could require that everyone receive an injected RFID microchip, which could be used as an identification device, a debit card, and a repository of emergency health information (e.g., it could alert emergency healthcare workers to any medicinal allergies you may have). But any such microchip would be separate from the "mark of the beast" (Revelation 16:2, Revelation 13:16-18). For the latter will be visible to people, so they can easily tell in every situation, even one without electricity, whether or not someone should be permitted to buy or sell (Revelation 13:17). It will be visible also because the original Greek of Revelation 13:16 shows that the mark will be placed only "on" (epi), not inside, people's right hands or foreheads. Also, the mark will be placed on people probably by scarification. For in Revelation 13:16, one of the definitions of the original Greek word (charagma: G5480) translated as the "mark" is "a scratch or etching" (Strong's Greek Dictionary), and scarification is the scratching or etching (i.e. the cutting) of the skin to leave a permanent mark. The reason that people will be given the mark in Revelation 13:16, in the context of what had just been shown previously in Revelation 13:4,8,15, will be to serve as a visible indicator to other people that they are loyal worshippers of Lucifer (the dragon, Satan) (Revelation 13:4, Revelation 12:9) and the Antichrist (the individual-man aspect of the beast) and his image (Revelation 13:4,8,15), just as some Luciferians today put a mark on themselves by scarification. The mark will consist of only the Antichrist's name "or" some representation of the gematrial number of his name (666) (Revelation 13:17-18), meaning that the mark will be the Antichrist's name for some people and a representation of the gematrial number of his name for other people. And the mark will be placed only on the right hand (probably on the palm) "or" on the forehead (Revelation 13:16), meaning that it will be placed on the right hand of some people and on the forehead of other people. Those who refuse to receive the Antichrist's mark won't be allowed to buy or sell anything (Revelation 13:17), and they will be executed by being beheaded if they refuse to worship the Antichrist and his image (Revelation 13:15, Revelation 20:4). Christians must be willing to suffer this fate rather than agree to receive the Antichrist's mark or worship him or his image, for those people who agree to do these things, even if they are Christians, will suffer God's wrath in fire and brimstone forever (Revelation 14:9-13), while those Christians who refuse to do these things, even though they will be beheaded, will subsequently be physically resurrected into immortality (along with the rest of the obedient church of all times) at Jesus' 2nd coming (Revelation 20:4-6; 1 Corinthians 15:21-23,52-58), immediately after the tribulation (Matthew 24:29-31). And even before their resurrection, at the moment of their death, their still-conscious souls will be brought into the presence of Jesus in heaven (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21,23, Revelation 6:9-10, Luke 23:43,46). In the future, when the world begins to worship the Antichrist as God (Revelation 13:8; 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Daniel 11:36), some people could gladly be willing to have his name placed by scarification on their right palm, just as lovers in the past were sometimes known to have their loved ones' initials placed by scarification on their palm (cf. also Isaiah 49:16, Jeremiah 48:37, Leviticus 19:28, Leviticus 21:5). Other of the Antichrist's worshippers could gladly be willing to have his name placed by scarification on their forehead, thinking (mistakenly) that they are fulfilling the Christian idea of Revelation 22:4, which refers to the future point in time when Jesus will put God's name visibly on the forehead of obedient Christians (Revelation 3:12). The Antichrist's miracle-working False Prophet, who will be the one to cause everyone to be marked with the Antichrist's mark (Revelation 13:16-18), could even convince people that he (the False Prophet) is Jesus returned. (But he won't say that he is Christ, for he and the Antichrist will deny that Jesus is the Christ, and will deny that Christ is in the flesh: 1 John 2:22; 2 John 1:7.) Instead of having the Antichrist's name engraved on their right hand or forehead, some of his worshippers will have the gematrial number of his name (666) (Revelation 13:17c-18) engraved on their right hand or forehead. But because some people could refuse to have "666" placed on their body, in order to make a mark of 666 acceptable to all people, it could be disguised to look like something else in those cases where people demand something other than "666". For example, it could be disguised in some cases to look like "777", or "111", or "WWW", or "VVV", or "|| || ||", or "FFF". For the 6th letter of the ancient Hebrew alphabet (Vav) represents the number 6, but it looks like a "7", or a "1", and it is transliterated into English as either a "W" or a "V". Also, 2 thin vertical lines "||" represent the number 6 on many UPC codes. And the letter "F" has a numerical value of 6 in English gematria. In an awful coincidence (or maybe it is not just a coincidence), "FFF" also stands for an extremely powerful type of nuclear bomb: Fission-Fusion-Fission. Could this be the type of bomb which the 10 kings of the Antichrist's empire will employ to burn up the cities of the nations at the end of the future tribulation of Revelation chapters 6 to 18 and Matthew 24 (Revelation 17:12,16,17a, Revelation 16:19, Revelation 19:2,11)? The "WWW" which has been placed on many internet addresses, and the "|| || ||" which has been placed across many UPC codes on products (i.e. they have a "||" at the beginning, middle, and end of their UPC codes), are harbingers of when Lucifer will give the Antichrist ownership of everything on the earth (Revelation 13:2b; cf. Luke 4:7), and of the Antichrist placing his "brand" on everything, like how a rancher places his "brand" on all his cattle. For both "WWW" and "|| || ||" are disguised representations of the gematrial number of the Antichrist's name: 666 (Revelation 13:17c-18). But Revelation 13:16 isn't fulfilled by some internet addresses having a "WWW", nor by some products having "|| || ||" on their UPC codes. For Revelation 13:16 refers only to when people will be given the Antichrist's mark, on either their right hand or forehead. Those assigned to have the mark placed on their forehead (instead of on their right hand) (Revelation 13:16) could be an elite, illumined, cognoscenti class of Gnostic Luciferians who alone will have been given knowledge of the ultimate secrets of the Antichrist's Gnostic Luciferianism. The Antichrist will be both a Luciferian, a worshipper of Lucifer/Satan the dragon (Revelation 13:4, Revelation 12:9), and a Gnostic, someone who denies that Christ is in the flesh (1 John 4:3), and forbids marriage and the eating of meat (1 Timothy 4:1-3). The cream of his cognoscenti could be a faux 144,000, consisting of male virgins (as a counterfeit of Revelation 14:4) who have never eaten meat. If they receive on their forehead the mark of the Antichrist's name (instead of a representation of the number of his name) (Revelation 13:17), this will be as a counterfeit of YHWH's 144,000 in Revelation 14:1. But the Antichrist won't pretend that he is YHWH, just as he won't pretend that he is Christ. Instead, as a Gnostic, he will utterly revile YHWH (Revelation 13:6, Daniel 11:36). And his Gnostic denial that Christ is in the flesh (1 John 4:3) will disqualify him (under his mistaken Gnostic doctrine) from being Christ.

If were going to look for "definitions", let's stick with biblical definitions. We should keep in mind that both physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are being addressed. Luke 4:18,29 1. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 2. because he hath anointed me 3. to preach the gospel to the poor; 4. he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 5. to preach deliverance to the captives, 6. and recovering of sight to the blind, 7. to set at liberty them that are bruised, 8. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. my favorite answer so far...

why Jesus used the soil and saliva no one knows (this is true for most other things he did...) I don't believe soil contains human dna, and if tested and maybe human dna is found in the soil... its probably from human.

I read this on one of my favorite websites, i think its worth sharing... full of sarcasm... and truth... ######################################################################################## People talk about homosexuality in terms of sexual orientation -- you know, the "way they are oriented regarding sex." That got me thinking. What do you do with those who have a different "truth orientation" as in the "way they are oriented regarding truth.? I think that the homosexual proponents should be consistent and advocate civil rights for those who have a different truth orientation; that is, they should support the legal protection of liars. Is this ridiculous? If so, why? Both sexual orientation and truth orientation are "natural" to the person, aren't they? Both sexual orientation and truth orientation are behaviors, right? Shouldn't both groups of people be free to love whom they want and lie to whom they want? Shouldn't both be free to express their natural born tendencies as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else? Of course they should! Since homosexuality is supposed to be an inborn behavior (as is lying), then it, like lying, should be a civil right and we should pass laws to protect those of a different "truth orientation." No one should be allowed to publicly denounce those who have a different truth orientation; otherwise, that is spreading hate. Liars are probably born that way, and the behavior of lying is natural to them. It helps them stay out of trouble. It can save someone's feelings from getting hurt. Also, consider our children (er, sorry homosexual couples, this doesn't apply to you). Our children have a natural tendency to exhibit the behavior of lying. It is natural, so since it is natural, it must be okay; and since homosexuality is supposed to be a behavior-orientation that qualifies for civil rights, the same logic ought to be applied to liars and they, too, should be protected and have laws passed just for them. After all, they are naturally oriented towards lying and self-preservation, and anyone who says they can be "cured" of that orientation is obviously bigoted. Now, you might object and say that having a different truth orientation (lying) is already a civil right since it falls under Free Speech. Okay, great. Then it should work the same with homosexuality. Homosexuals are already free to fool around with whomever they want. They can marry people of the opposite sex, just like everyone else. They have the freedom to express themselves - just like everyone else. No problem. But, since the homosexuals wantadditional and special protection based on a sexual behavior, then I think it is fair that we have the same thing for People of a Different Truth Orientation (PDTO). They should also get additional and special protection based on their speech behavior. They should not be fired from jobs because of their truth orientation. They should not be penalized in court due to their truth orientation. They should not be discriminated against for exercising their truth orientation on housing applications and loan applications. Remember, the civil rights of homosexuals are based on the freedom to express themselves via a sexual behavior; also, the civil rights of liars are based on the freedom to express themselves via an vocal behavior. Anyway, to be consistent, I think liars definitely need civil rights protection because they need to be free to do what is natural to them -- the same as homosexuals -- as long as they don't hurt anyone else. Yep, let's hear it for the civil rights of people with a different Truth Orientation. Maybe we should start an organization called Global Alliance of Truth Orientation - GATO, or Global Organization for New Orientation of Truth - GONOT, or America Civil Liars Union - ACLU, or better yet, New Orientation of Truth - NOT!

I was going to ask why all these will make you sad... then i saw your last statement... and i'm like, that's more like it... lol.... Thank you for these facts reminder... it made me smile... God bless you.

LOL

Yeah, well... either they are man enough to admit it or not, some Muslims are in support of the terrorist group...

I think its the same in all countries affected, however, the 'noise' from america's decision to join the club is (in my opinion) due to: 1. America's popularity 2. America's so called Christian origin and 3. Christian values upon which the country was built. And besides, i believe Christians in other country would have been as affected as Christians in America, just that they didn't get as much world sympathy or recognition as America did... probably due to the reasons i stated above.

'Homosexuality' does not mean 'homosexuality as we understand the word. I agree with everything you said, but a true Muslim will not support homosexuality or anything related to that.
