Because some of them tend to be fanatic and judgmental of meat eaters.

Am I being narrow minded because Vegans drive me crazy?

Do you think I should pay CHRISTIANS MINGLE $29,95 a month to find a potential mate? It seems kinda silly.

Amen and amen.

In other words, test the spirits and go from there.

I agree.

Amen Wayne. People are milktoast, uncommitted and downright unreliable. Thank the Lord that we can count on him.

I don't know about you. but I'm sick to death of people that wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and shook their hand. Recently, I was discharged from a nursing home after a nearly 13 month stay. There was two female staff that I was close to. Both made me all kinds of promises of lasting friendship. etc. Well, I haven't heard a word so far from either one of them. I don't really expect to either. One in particular said she wanted to date me when I was discharged, and "couldn't wait" to go out with me. She also claimed to be a committed Christian. Well. yesterday, I saw her on a dating site. She had posted "non religious". So, she lied. I have no patience for liars. My ex wife wasn't truthful either. People like that I don't want in my life.

hi all I'm still here. I have been dealing with sciatica and a head cold. I'm going to be here more when I feel better. In Christ, Steve

How many "gospels" are there for pete's sake? REVELATION 22:18-19 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. The four gospels are the ONLY Gospels.

After a year of rehab in a nursing home, I'm being discharged to go home!!!! I can't believe how God is!! When I got here I couldn't do anything for myself. Now, its much different. GOING HOME!! I'm really going home. Great is God's faithfulness. When I first got here, I thought I'd never be able to leave. But God had other plans.

Me too

I agree. There's a "I have the facts, I don't need your opinion/viewpoint" attitude.

I was just looking for some input.

Since we know the Shriners are a part of the Masons, is it right to contribute to Shriner's Hospitals?

Amen Warrior

I know, it was just on my mind.

That was uncalled for. I'm Lutheran and I love my church.

You have a right to your opinion, BUT, what I'm wondering is: did you trick or treat as a kid? I did. I still believe its harmless if the kids are made aware of what we need to focus on is God. I wonder how it makes the kids feel when all their friends are out trick or treating and having innocent fun, and they are sitting home. Its like making them stay home from a Christmas party because Santa is there.

In other words, you're saying you agree w/me. I'm not sure I've ever heard of the "Christian" taliban.

Yeah, I know, its still July, but I've got a bug in my ear to talk about Halloween and share some thoughts. I'm not going to cut and paste the entire history of Halloween because Wiki has all you need to know. BUT, suffice to say its a controversial topic among Christians. Getting to the point, I don't have an issue with those churches or Christians who choose to have Halloween parties or go with the kids out to trick or treat. Paul said, (1st Cor. 6:12) "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." We have freedom in Christ, from the law. And we are free to decide for ourselves what honors God in our lives and what doesn't. As Paul says. not everything I do may not be good for me. This is why I think its best to leave Halloween up to the individual conscience. Yeah I know, Halloween is "evil", etc. But I'm not about to condemn someone to the abyss because their kid is in a Halloween costume. In my church. the kids are given Halloween candy but are taught about the Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther. I've always thought it was a great idea. So, there are ways to get around celebrating Halloween in the strictest sense. Again, I just don't have a problem with kids being involved with Halloween activities.

PSALM 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Have a YABBA DABBA DOO day in the Lord everyone!

Because while we are Christians, we are still sinners.

Some of you really need to READ my post and THINK about what I posted. The Phillipians passage is indeed talking about coming to Christ. BUT, I didn't take it out of context at all. In fact, I explained my reasoning very clearly. Also, I explained who Mary was. THIS WAS NOT a "story" I made up, all of it is REAL
