  1. Thanks for the replies. Ive never heard of the last one. it was just something Id never seen before.
  2. Hi all...I joined here , then life got really busy. Things have slowed down so hopefully I can check in more. Question. On our way to church on Sundays...we pass another church along the way that says Christian but all the people ( and there is a lot) wearing long with robes and long white head coverings. Men, women and even little kids ( kids wear white hats though) When I looked it up I kept getting Hindu beliefs. Anyway...just curious =)
  3. I think there are a few reasons. Lets face it...we are all human. People argue/debate over almost everything. Especially if its internet forums you are mostly referring to. I enjoy listening/reading a healthy debate between Christians...it tends to enrich my faith and I usually find something I want to study more. I've found even between a few denominations...the basis of Christianity is solid. To me its similar to a family type discussion. just my 2 cents.
  4. In some ways things were much better back then, but some things were also worse. Racism was normal. A lot of abuse was hidden. Past medical procedures were sometimes horrific. Now it seems to have swung way too far. There is a dx for almost everything. We also must except everything, or be labeled a bigot. The posted Roy Rogers rules look pretty sensible. Im not sure about the never take chances one. Sometimes taking chances is a good thing. I LOVE his prayer. Ive always ridden horses and that really touches me
  5. A memorial service isn't the the time to lecture about racism. sheesh. I supported the reasons for the blm when it first started. At this point , all lives matter should be the slogan.
  6. If you have high blood pressure and its warm where you are...feeling "swelled up" can happen. Your other symptoms idk... Ive had weird symptoms before that scared the bejeebies out of me. Id for sure get it checked out soon so you'll know what's going on. take care.
  7. There is just no denying the hate from radical Islam. Somehow some way its time for our country to address it. Maybe if our current leader admitted there was a problem, sheesh. I've noticed so often what's good is labeled bad. What's blatantly wrong is acceptable and almost praised.
  8. Thanks for all the responses. They are all very helpful. So the Holy Spirit is how God resides in me since I was saved... I was confused for awhile because of all the shame and guilt I was feeling and I didn't know of enough of Gods word to fight back with it.I just know i dont ever want to feel that kind of hate again. The enemy wants us to feel not worthy of God or anything. I KNEW during that time I needed a savior. I know there is a spiritual realm, I could never not know it now. The more I pray and read the Bible the more Im led to truth and peace. I hear or read people trying to dismantle the Bible and all it says and I cant understand their motives. There is so much power in Gods word. Discuss it yes, ask questions, disagree...but I dont see how people can disregard it or mock it. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me," (2 Corinthians 12:9). The Lord is near to all who call on him,to all who call on him in truth. (Psalm 145 :18)
  9. ok here goes, I finally have the nerve to bring this up. When I first was saved I felt a peace like Ive never felt. Then shortly after it felt like I was hurled into this terrifying shame by "I don't know what". I was almost frozen emotionally and was SURE God didn't want me . A few pretty terrifying, unexplainable things were happening in my life...my family ( who aren't Christian btw) saw also. I was threatened and had HORRIBLE things sent to me, hacks into accounts ect ect. I tried to keep praying, reading the Bible. Then I tried fighting back on my own. not a good idea at all. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin right? at the time I was so confused and had a fear Id blasphemed the Holy Spirit. I don't ever want to feel that kind of hate again. Im thinking now this was the enemy. When I feel nudged to stay away from bad things and Im drawn to God...is that the Holy Spirit? The few years before I was saved Id slowly drifted away...was around a lot of pagan things, thought I was being "open minded" the" we are all one"/ Im nature thing. ugh! Then at one point I did walk away from God and listened to "whatever" was out there. Could I have brought all this one by getting involved with that awful stuff. It was all a false lure, I felt this kind of weird freeing power...then it kept going down hill until I was in this miserable bondage. I kept praying, at one point I couldnt even form a prayer and read that God teaches us to pray by saying the Lords prayer...so that's what I did. I also read the Bible. All the bad stuff did finally go away. Sorry for rambling...I know Im all over the place trying to explain it...I guess my question is....what IS the Holy Spirit?
  10. I just watched this on the news. How can they get away with trying to prevent him from speaking. People like that always scream equal rights, free speech until its something they don't like. ...they looked like fools.
  11. I have the same problem. Awhile back, I started reading the commentaries and that kind of pulls together the verses or chapters.. I find when I reading I jump around a lot. Ill read something ( a word for ex) Im not familiar with, look it up and start reading all on that. Bible gateway is really good imo. Gotquestions.org I really like also.
