Recently a friend asked me what the differences are between the spiritual heart soul and mind. I wasn't sure how to answer (we were texting) and I said I would answer later. What are the differences? I need some help with what to answer.

Amen!

Jesus managed to be a light with a drink in his hand and ate with those who took the Lord's name in vain Matthew 9:10 King James Version (KJV) 10And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. Luke 22:20 20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. There is a vast differece between having wine with a meal and going out drinking with some gentile buddies. Messiah nor the apostles were walking around with a wineskin full of wine while they declared the news of the coming kingdom. And yes certainly every single person on this earth will hear a cuss word or two as well as other things yet it does not mean we should be allowing those things from our mouths or into our lives. There are good people, good believers who can listen to cuss words, watch some questionable movies who are not in danger of falling prey to the entrapment behind it, there are also others who are in danger of being around all that and falling prey to it. The best course of action we can take is to avoid for ourselves the things we know are a danger, we also should avoid going out drinking and having a grand time with gentile people. By our actions we are judged by all those around us, you can say thats right or wrong but its the way God set it up, His chosen elect should portray all the godliness Yeshua did, and we know that Messiah never got drunk, with anyone, nor did He go around cussing and all that nonsense. By our actions, our deeds, our words, through our lives we are to be set apart for the world to see His glory and grace and by that others would want to have the shalom and blessing only He can give. And frankly one can not shine His light when they are stumbling around drunk with the unsaved or cussing like a sailor either. shalom, Mizz No one said anything about getting drunk or cussing. Just because you "go out drinking with some gentile buddies" doesn't mean you have to get drunk. Just because you watch a movie with cussing does not mean that you have to cuss Matthew 15:11 King James Version (KJV) 11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

In God's eyes all sin is the same. So when sin passed down to you it was not a specifics sin(s),It was sin in general.

I have no problem when kids dress up as movie characters and go get candy on halloween. It's when they wear zombie and vampire etc. costumes that I am against it.

There is no sin in drinking as long as you don't get drunk. Jesus drank wine. You will most likely hear cuss words every day so I don't see a problem with watching movies with cussing.

Happy Birthday!Happy Birthday!

lol I wouldn't consider paraphrases Bible either

Thats just a little strange.... somebody has an obsession with Obama!

What Bible do you guys use for study? Personally, I use the NIV and the KJV. Usually I read a passage in the NIV first to get the idea of it, and then read it in the NIV. What do you do?

I'm ready!

For Today is one of my favorite metal bands. This is my favorite song by them. They are a very Christ-devoted band and preach at all of their concerts Lyrics: Saul Of Tarsus May the world know that I am yours. I will never be silenced. I will resist my sin to the point of blood, and I will wear my scars like badges of honor. But let my hope cry out that my God is greater than the pain of persecution. My God is greater than this world. There will never be another chance to live today for God. There will never be another name that can save us from ourselves. And so, steadfast and undeterred, I will proclaim the name of Christ to a dead and dying world. I am not ashamed! We will resist our sin to the point of blood, and we will wear our scars like badges of honor. But let our hope cry out that our God is greater than the pain of persecution. Blinded, I saw that Christ is Lord. Now, may the world see you through open eyes. God, my Father, reign.

Yes, I've read his posts. They beat around the bush, so to speak, and seems like he is attempting to find reasons to convince us that the RCC is right. He takes verses out of context alot too. Though it would be enjoyable to have a debate with him.

No you don't. Faith does not include works. You show your faith through works. 14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Fait and works are separate but faith is made complete through works

To clear things up I do believe in the virgin birth. I just don't believe in the catholic doctrine that states that Mary was a virgin all her life.

Denominations formed because of conflicting views of theology. I, particularly, am a Methodist. But if you ask me I would just say Christian. The Bible explains it better than me 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

I don't believe that he "sets" dates for our deaths. Yes, he may know when we are going to die, but he certainly doesn't choose for babies to be aborted.

Recently I've been wondering about 2 Catholic doctrines. (I'm not a Catholic, but I know people who are) I've been wondering if they are truthful at all or if they are corrupted ways of thinking. The doctrines I've been wondering about are: A. Praying to saints/Mary B. The Immaculate Conception My opinions: A. Praying to saints/Mary From what I've researched and talked to Catholics about, they pray to saints/Mary in hope that they will relay their prayers to God. One Catholic I asked said that he prays to saints because "It gives me a better chance to get my prayers answered". I believe that God answers every one of our prayer, one way or another. There is no reason you need a "better chance" at it My second argument for why this is unbiblical is because I don't think that the saints/Mary can hear you! The bible never says that Mary/ saints are treated any different that regular humans (Which they are) when they die and so why would they get the right to hear people's prayers? I don't think that when we die that we can suddenly hear prayers from people on earth. B. The Immaculate Conception Someone, somewhere, came up with the idea that Mary NEVER sinned and always remained a virgin. Saying that Mary never sinned is directly contradicting Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Notice that it does not say "All but Mary" but just simply "All". Mary is not excluded. Saying that Mary is a virgin contradicts: Matthew 12:46 [46] While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Luke 8:19 [19] Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. Mark 3:31 [31] There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. Matthew 13:55-56 [55] Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? [56] And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? John 7:1-10 [1] After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. [2] Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand. [3] His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. [4] For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. [5] For neither did his brethren believe in him. [6] Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. [7] The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. [8] Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. [9] When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. [10] But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Acts 1:14 [14] These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Galatians 1:19 [19] But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. Mary could not have stayed a virgin while having multiple children. I would like to know your opinions on these 2 contriversial toipics

I used to have a lot of doubt issues. I found that I started to doubt less when I read the Bible and pray daily. Try it! I can assure you that reading God's word daily and praying to Him will help your doubt problem.

I was just listening to a talk show on this the other night, and from what I heard there, alot of the protesters there have no idea what they are are protesting about. When asked, one protester said he was protesting so that meat would be banned in America and it would all become vegetarian. The protesters have no common goal, and until they do I think they should call it off.
