  1. Do you think that those Arab Countries are becoming a bit offended with seeing things such as these with their eyes which they never really did see in their past? https://www.google.com/search?q=lgbt+parade+pics&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjIq5_HtfXSAhWLyoMKHelSDtsQsAQIGw&biw=1360&bih=605
  2. Are those Arab Countries being 'strong-armed' by US civil Liberties Unions and US Laws of such?
  3. The LGBTQ community is backed and defended by the ACLU which is an US organization. ACLU: American Civil Liberties Union https://www.aclu.org/
  4. Here are the travel requirements to go to those 'banned' countries from their point of laws: Sudan: http://www.worldtravelguide.net/sudan/passpor... Libya: https://libya.travisa.com/ Somalia: https://somalia.visahq.com/ Yemen: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g294014... Iran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_... Syria: https://syria.visahq.com/ These are what those countries require for someone to enter in.... Should we be less or more as them? ----------------------------------- Has the LGBTQ community forced their way into those countries so that the citizens of those countries are retaliating against the US because of the predominance of US LGBTQ parade marchers they see when they hold the LGBTQ parades they are now beginning to see there. Is it a retaliation by the ones who do not want those sorts of things in their lands and so are retaliating against the places they are coming from?
  5. Question: 1. Do all Arab Countries and States offer the same rights to all who live in their country? 2. Is there racial profiling in the Arab Countries? 3. Is there prejudice in their countries. 4. Why do they expect no racial profiling and no prejudices when they are in the US but they racial profile and prejudice when others are there? 5. Do they offer non discriminatory rights to all peoples living in the land? 6. Do they offer non prejudice to all people of other faith's in the land? 7. If they are prejudiced to other faiths in the land, why do they expect non prejudicisms when they are in the US? 8. Are you really wanting to invite them over here to the U.S? Why does their people and Government allow for the beatings and abusings towards members of other faiths there? Are you really wanting to invite them over here to the U.S?
  6. Nice. It would seem as the way you presented. And after all, after attending so many Weekend Church Services and seeing that God would surely see your desire to receive His Plan for your life, that He would have given it to you. Even in the Book of Jeremiah it reads that God knows the thoughts He has towards us, thoughts of good and not for evil. The KJV uses the word 'Thoughs' and the NIV uses the word 'Plans', I think. But still.. God's plan for our lives should be manifested. Even if God's Thoughts toward me is for good and not for evil, then why might I not have received that 'good' from Him yet? Well, here is the step I take. Since God sees that I am sincere, and since I feel as if I am ready to receive His 'good', the question and the request for His Good needs to be made. God might be willing to give it to us, but maybe I haven't yet asked. Maybe I've expected and not asked.
  7. Several ideas: #1- the stories of how the Disciples were martyred in their later years are not recorded in The Holy Bible, so we cannot be too certain that they were truly martyred. #2- We see the Disciples 'saved' when the guards came into the Garden of Gethesemene with their swords and staves. All the disciples fled and so they were taken out of harm's way.
  8. 'did Moses give you the Law'... No God gave the Law
  9. Isis: Isis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis "is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. She was first worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco-Roman world. Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement, and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis." i am not saying that the mythological isis is a real goddess or even a demon with such supernatural powers that she is taking over the world.. I am not saying that. However many persons still offer worship and reverence towards the no-gods of many places, both current and old. And when individual persons are offering their worship to the no-gods, many wicked things can begin happening. i am not sure if the 'devils' in the spiritual realm can get a firmer grip on those persons or if demons can come and possess their bodies, but many such persons, those who offer worship to such no-gods, are the ones who live 'wild' lifestyles when compared to ordinary everyday people. And as ISIS is named after or in the exact same way as the mythological goddess' name is spelt, it makes no surprise if they actually partake in rituals and stuff as they might have done in the olden egyptian days. False worship to false gods will lead to spiritual failure. And spiritual failure does not always result in lack of good things, it can lead to excessiveness in bad things. In today's time, people are measured with what they accomplish. They are 'judged' by their fruits. A person who is daily causing trouble will be known as a person who is daily causing trouble. Even if that person is at a Legislative meeting, he will be known as the one who is daily causing trouble. The entire day does not only consist of a few hours. It is a 24 hour process. And if in the 16 hours or so, he is causing nothing but trouble but in 1 or 2 hours, he/she is nice and quiet and polite, the 16 hours of him/her causing trouble will be seen as his/her truer character and he/she will be seen as being extra diligent in not causing trouble when he/she is within those 1 or 2 hours of nice and quiet and polite. That is how it is now days. To not take the majority over the minority is overlooking the more weightier matters of that person's life for the smaller matters of that person's life.. It is as swallowing a camel but straining at a gnat. Matthew 23:24 "Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel." Besides, Christians really should try to stay away from others who worship and suggest and urge people to go and serve and follow after strange gods.
  10. Conservative Christians do not carry machine guns nor do they cause 'crime' against the Laws of the Land on which they are a citizen.
  11. Isaiah 1:10-14 10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them." Sodom and Gomorrah did not have the feasts of the LORD within them. Isaiah 1:9 "9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah." Isaiah was a Prophet of God Most High. God spoke through Isaiah of future events and doings.. Think of Sodom as a place where any man could do as he wanted; with other men, women, children, other wives, other husbands, etc.... And think of Gomorrah as a place where the women could also do whatever she wanted; with other women, men, children other husbands, other wives, etc... A land where 'everything' was permissable and allowed with NO rules to keep things in order except maybe 1. Destroy any who say anything against their lifestyles and ways and freedoms.. meaning if a citizen of Sodom or Gomorrah wanted to do anything to you or any of your possessions or family members, to speak against their advancings and say 'no' to their desire would call for destruction.. And think of what and who the 'remnant' would be in such lands and places? those who live their lives with morals and standards. Those who live their lives with doing proper. Those who walk not in the same ways as the ones who are doing; those who are not doing the same things as those who do. Those who keep their integrity in line and do not let go of the proper things of their past... etc... These would be the 'remnant' in the days when all would have been as Sodom and Gomorrah..
  12. Christ gave Judas all the chances he needed before betraying Him. Strange how Christ would have chosen someone who He knew would not have a change of heart towards betrayal. If Judas did have a change of heart, how would have Christ have been handed over?
  13. Here might be the Nephilim people refer to: Son(s) : 1121. ben afflicted (1), afflicted* (1), age (7), aliens* (2), Ammonites* (7), anointed* (1), arrow (1), arrows (1), Assyrians* (3), baby (1), Babylonians* (3), beasts (1), being* (1), Ben-hinnom* (7), bough (2), breed (1), brothers* (1), builders.................................. -of- God: 430. elohim rulers, judges, either as divine representatives at sacred places or as reflecting divine majesty and power: The afflicted aged men of the rulers/judges.... Genesis 6:2 "...that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.: http://biblehub.com/nasec/hebrew/1121.htm http://biblehub.com/bdb/430.htm daughters of --- 'MEN' : 120 : adam : another, hypocrite, common sort, low, man mean, of low degree, person http://biblehub.com/strongs/hebrew/120.htm Man only became available for marriage AFTER Adam was driven from the Garden of Eden and only after mankind become populated. 'Sons' could also refer to people of other surrounding territories who came in and took the women for themselves to wife. It's the same story when ever a new people find and enter into new lands.. There are often times: rape and pillaging... and often times a new mix of ethnicities in the children.. And now both you and I see how a little Truth dispells so much lies. The 'Sons of God' could be aged men who were kicked out of their territories, found their way into the lands of the daughters of another people and took them as wives... perhaps even by force. We can see that happening even in our modern day with the so called 'Migrants' and Illegal immigrants.
  14. Also we have to keep in mind that once born again, the sins do not disappear overnight. having them disappear as such could be very dangerous since 7 more evil spirits might be able to enter in. It isn't so much an overnight thing and even after becoming born again by water and Spirit, we will still undoubtedly sin from time to time. We slowly leave our old life of sin, being renewed daily, and heading towards Sanctification since we have already been consecrated. Christ and being a follower is not about 'not sinning', it's about walking towards Sanctification, per se. All this talk about 'sin' and 'sin' and 'sin' is not edifying for any Christian. We need to be edifying and helping each other grow in the knowledge and fullness of Christ Jesus. We shouldn't be bringing each other down by 'topics' of -sin,sin, sin- all day and all night. We need to also move onward and upward in Life and not remain stagnant. We are walking towards sanctification while doing our daily things on earth and still helping one another out by 'lifting them upward' to better and more noble things in God. We don't want to remain low with each other, we want to get onto the better things in God's World and in God's Life. As far as the notion that this world belongs to 'the god of this world' does not mean that 'the god of this world' is really 'god of this world'. It just means that 'the god of this world' and the world with its' lies and murders and cheatings and rapings, etc' have kept us in blindness to the Truth that this world is evil and adulterous. If a person can't even admit to the the fact that innocent lives are murdered and hurt every day and can't even admit that we live in evil and adulterous times, then we definitely are not seeing anything, we are blinded. And we would be as children of the 'god of this world'.
  15. Being 'saved' is being freed out of dangerous ways such as the wolves who seek to not spare. Acts 20:29 " For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." Salvation is being able to walk through that valley of the shadow of death and not be 'killed, stolen, destroyed.'
  16. It's much easier just to walk alongside Him instead of walking alone carrying a cross you might not know how to properly carry... I walk with Christ; not a cross which Christ died on. And of course, just as Jesus never sipped on wine or ate any meat or attended any festivities, so we also do... hence we deny ourselves for Him. Besides, when we are out in the boon dogs with noone around us, we are still denying ourselves alone...
  17. Have you ever noticed anything about The Garden of Eden and the creation of man? How have you come to understand them in relation to one another? Do you believe that God created Adam and Eve in the Garden? Do you believe that the Garden was already there when God created Adam? Genesis 2:7-8 "7And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed." God created man then God planted a garden eastward in Eden. And then God put the man in the Garden. Then God creates the 'woman'.. Genesis 2:21 "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;" -after God creates another [set] of animals ? Genesis 2:19 " And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof."
  18. i do think that many of the words Christ spoke have been quoted above. However you might be missing a few. After The Father of Jesus has sent a person to Christ, seeing that none can go to Christ unless The Father has sent him, Christ will not turn any away. For Christ will not turn away any who has come to Him. But if we have been sent to Christ and after we hear and decide for ourselves that He is not what we want for our lives and after we leave Him, and not He leave us, then the grounds of not being obedient can be question. Also, if you are not daily on a walk with Christ in a real relationship, spiritually and mentally and emotionally and physically, then following Jesus' very Own Words, as you have quoted above, is to be just as 'legalistic' as every Commandment keeper and Thumper. People remain with Christ not because it is obligation but because they love being around Him. Even in His hot temper at times (the driving out of the temple merchants) (calling Peter 'satan' in front of His disciples) (asking if 'you also' are going to leave; after they questioned Him about how He could be the manna from Heaven) (the constant questioning and answering between the Rabbinical Jews and Christ throughout the day) (having lepers and blind and mute and the 'unclean' always shouting and wanting His attention) (being in the Wilderness with no food so as to have Christ multiply bread and fish so all could eat lest they fainted on their way home) (telling His disciples that one of them was a traitor) (telling the disciples that He was going to get handed over to sinners and crucified) (telling His disciples that unless people believe He is The Christ whom God sent that they would die in their sins)..... all this His disciples listened to and learned... And if they disagreed with Him about His knowledge, they left... But many remained with Him. Many were offended at His Words. Many knew His Words were the Words of God.
  19. ".....Will you do that today? If you will, you can be 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you die." ------------------------------- I'm not too sure if I'm going to go to heaven when I die or if I'm going to wait in the grave until the day of Resurrection. And seeing that the dead no nothing, my body will become a heap of bones after the decay has eaten up my inwards. How I will go to heaven when I die, I am not sure. But I do know that on the Day of Resurrection, or The Last Day, my body will rise from out of the grave, if I had died by that time.. I can not see the Day of Resurrection as being an every day occurence since the day Christ rose and ascended on High.
  20. sure... besides trying to explain the importance of Morality and so showing how The Holy Bible is accurate with its' Morals, showing how The Holy Bible is accurate to other factual things might prove to be a better 'reasoning' and a better proof that The Holy Bible is accurate. And hence; the defense of God's Word and not a defense of God's morals.
  21. Why are there no mentions of 'demons' or 'devils' in The Old Testament? The only mention of 'devils' in The Old Testament is when it speaks of the former perfectness of the angel who used to walk on carbuncles and the others. Also in the very first book, Genesis, it speaks of the 'serpent'. I can't recall many other instances where the 'demons' or 'devils' caused people to hide in tombs, lash out, foam at the mouth, etc, in other human bodies except for in the New Testament. Why might that be? I have a possible answer. Perhaps when Jesus was around, those who thought of Him in a non Truthful, debased manner caused their minds to become debased and ill, hence forming 'demonic' like attitudes and 'actions'. Perhaps it was and is when a person thinks on Christ Jesus with 'course jesting' and filthy and foul ideations which causes their minds to become more as 'demons' than as humans. In other words, they are playing around with Holiness, flippantly and unreverentially, in their minds which is worse than Sigmund Freud's Oedipus Complex theory. When a person has no Holy and no knowledge of how to deal in respect to higher authorities in their minds due to their 'playing' around with Holy and respectable things within their minds with irreverence and flippancy, then they begin to forget what it means to respect and hold certain things in esteem and worship. Christ would become as another 'thing' in the life of the person instead of remaining God in the life of the person. Take for example Da Vinci Code with its' suggestion that Christ Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and also had biological children with her. Hearing such a statement would come across as a heresy and a blasphemy. However, why would the statement of Christ Jesus having biological children and having a wife NOT be possible? From what The Holy Bible says, we can come to conclusions that will either prove that He could or that He could not have biological children and have a 'sexual' wife. Firstly, God desires us all to be as Him, Holy. And so what is Holy which Christ Jesus was? And how does The Holy Bible define 'holy'? We know that Christ was without sin. And so what is 'sin' that He was without? He did not break 1 'Law' of God throughout His whole earth Life. He was not born in the natural ways of man and woman; hence he did not have the male gamete which the sperm would have provided; meaning his chromosomes were not the 46 but rather 23. Secondly, since The Holy Bible does not condemn sexual relations as a 'sin' why would it have been a 'sin' if Christ Jesus partook? So why would it not have been possible for Christ Jesus to have had children and have had a sexual 'wife'? #1 - To be married would have meant that He was bound to His wife. However Jesus could not have been at home all the time because He was doing His Father's work. But since He was always doing His Father's work, He would have broken a Law of God, and therefore sinned. #2 - The Law states that the father shall talk of the LORD, as he sits, as he lays, as he walks, as he enters in and exits out. Christ would have therefore have needed to re-enter His home if He had children, to tend to them and teach them of The LORD. #3- He would have had to have left His Mother and Father upon His marriage. Since we know that He remained with His family until His mission began, if He was married before His missionary work began, He would have broken the Law by not being separated from His mother and father and joined as one with His wife. #3- If He was married and left home, He would have also have had to leave His Heavenly Father, seeing that a man leaves his father and mother and the two (husband and wife) is joined as one. These are only a few reasons why it was not possible that He was married and had biological children, unless people are claiming Him to be an adulterer. But once again, if He was an adulterer, He would have been a 'sinner', which makes those possibilities impossible. To entertain that the impossible, that Christ 'sinned' is possible and to try to figure out how He may have committed sin, is playing with 'Holy' in the mind in a debased way which could transform the mind and the person into a 'demonic-like' human being rather than a whole human being. The Holy Bible will define how Christ could not have been such a person since God Himself has called Him without 'sin'. And here is how we can tell that Christ was without sin. God required a sinless sacrifice; a clean and unblemised sacrifice. If Christ did 'sin', God would not have resurrected Him from the grave. You don't need to be a sophisticated speecher if you want to share the Truth about God. And you don't need to be a reasoner if you can't explain how Christ was not a 'sinner'. Showing how Christ was Sinless, hence being the 'Head' of Godliness and the fullness of the Godhead bodily, would probably have the others understand that to try to outreason God with His Holy Word is vanity. #1- Since The Holy Bible says that it is impossible for God to lie, keeping to His Written Word to prove Truth, would be the better approach. And so looking to the first man, Adam. How would he have received the 46 chromosomes a human being has if he did not receive the male gamete nor the female gamete? He would have had no chromosomes of a human being. Since he was not in any 'womb' of a woman, he was not formed through natural 'reproduction'. He was formed directly by God's Hand and by God's Breath. He was the first original 'creation' of a living soul. And he would not have been able to have any set of chromosomes. Christ Jesus, on the other hand, was NOT created nor was Christ Jesus formed. Rather, Christ Jesus and Adam would have been in a 'state' of a 'living soul' which had no chromosomes. Both Christ Jesus and Adam shared that same 'non-chromosome''living soul'. And so Christ Jesus took on the form of man, the form which Adam received after he partook of the tree of good and evil. However in their original 'living soul', they might not have been as human beings are today. It was His 23 chromosomed 'body' which took the 'sins' of the world and it was the 23 chromosomed 'body' which in whose stripes we are healed. The other part of Him, the full God, is NOT part of the 23 chromosomed body although the 23 chromosomed body was sinless. Christ Jesus, although He had 'flesh', had flesh because Adam partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, making 'flesh' the race which needed 'salvation.' Both Adam and Eve, were non chromosomed 'living souls'. They might have been as the Holy Angels...
  22. The so-called 'West Bank' is located in the Eastern Border in Israel which gives the point of reference coming from the regions of Ammon, Bashan, Aram. In Biblical times, the Sons of Israel had to cross and pass by and through the regions of Ammon, Bashan and Aram in order to enter into God's Promised Land. The Sons of Israel crossed the Jordan River from the Eastern Side and entered into The Promised Land going Westward with 2 tribes remaining on the Eastern side of the Jordan River. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/52/ed/68/52ed68fd0eebbf01766ad4619bfffd73.jpg And so current Israel with Jerusalem in the Eastern border of Israel is being viewed and addressed as the Country/Nation which is Westward in relation to them. And so thus the name: The West Bank. Most definitely, the name 'West Bank' was not given by any person from within Israel but rather by someone whose standpoint to that region is truly seen as 'Towards The West'
  23. Why would my own personal thoughts and my own personal desires be considered to be wrong if I think and believe that they are good? Why are my 'goods' considered to be 'wrongs'? If ancient people who lived within a society of no schools and no STD'S were fine with living with a no 'set' standard of thinking and if sex came with no threats of contracting an STD, why is my thought of being such as them, free minded and free spirited, 'wrong'? We are living within a schooled and STD world today. Those personal thoughts and feelings, today, may be just as not wrong as it were then, but there will be lots of friction within your life living with those 'ways' in today's times which have schools of thought and schools of medicine.
  24. Mark 12:29"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"
