Mobile21 is right Teh, the wages of sin is death. They (the OT people) desurved it. So do we today! So does everyone in every era in time! But the Good News is.... it doesn't have to be that way. God had a plan from before the foundation of the world to send His Son and cleanse us (yes, even you) from all iniquity! The gift of God is ETERNAL life! HALLELUIA!!!! We mustn't accuse The Soverign, Holy God, maker of heaven and earth of murder. He is the potter, we are the clay! I know where you're coming from though, Teh, before I was saved , I had some pretty hard, angry questions for God, too. And I WAS NOT interested in converting to Christianity. I also made myself moral judge of the Almighty. (I have to laugh at myself now!) I was perfectly happy with my tarot cards , astrology books, and my room so full of the smoke of aeroshieka incense that I could hardly see, much less breathe ! But I was always aware of the God sized hole in my heart, I had no idea how to fill it. Then people started praying for me. I struggled for a long time, but one day I just prayed. "God if you're really out there, I need to know it" . He touched me in a way that was so real to me that I couldn't question Him anymore, nor did I want to. After that all I wanted to do was worship Him, and to know Him better. Finally, I had peace! Finally, I knew that I had been loved all along. I don't know if anyone's ever told you this, but if Jesus would have faced the cross knowing that His suffering , and death would have saved only you, he still would have done it.He loves YOU! Blessings to you Teh wiccan.

Hello, and welcome. There are alot of interesting personalities on here, I think you'll enjoy the diversity! Everyone is very friendly, and they all try to make you feel at home. God bless you, & enjoy the fellowship!

It's very easy to become frustrated with people that we know are in error. I understand that,but when we are witnessing Jesus Christ to the lost, it's helpful to keep a level head, and stay in love. This is very important as I'm sure you all know. These people need Jesus! The only witness we've been giving them is a door slammed in their faces. I've been guilty of this.They hear all the snickers behind their backs, folks. Would you be interested in anything someone had to say if they treated you badly? What kind of "god" would you suppose them to serve? I'm not trying to upset anyone, here. We all need to be reminded from time to time to take care in these situations. We are saved by the grace of God, and through Him alone do we know the truth. It's not anything we've done ourselves, so we can't brag about it like we're "better" than they are. Jesus came to save the lost. It's not "us" and "them". I invited a young girl to these boards the other day , who is in a Jahovah's Witness church. If she decides to come, I hope she doesn't read some of these posts. God Bless you all, I hope I haven't made anyone angry.

No one's posted anything for a while, so I hope this means the Lord has resolved sister's problem. I'd just like to say that her husband's behavior sort of reminds me of the time after I was saved, but before my husband was. ( only my husband was not cruel, or severe like this man) It is a huge struggle for a Christian woman to be married to a worldly man. But there is hope!!! The Bible tells us that through the wife, the husband may be saved. When a man is under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, it can be uncomfortable for him (and everyone around him) , but take heart! If God's calling him, that can only mean good things!! I know so many Christian couples who've gone through this, including my own mom & dad!!

Hi folks! When I reread my original post, I noticed that I wasn't clear about something. I feel I need to clear this up , because I'm enjoying this forum, and don't want you all to get the wrong impression of me. It isn't me who is personally involved with this sin, but someone(s) I want to witness the Lord to. I felt I needed to clear that up . Please pray for me, it looks like God has chosen to send me to Nineva. (figuratively, of course) Thanx for all your replies. --hazel

boochie, that was deep! Ya know folks, I have to admit that I've been woken up in the middle of the night with a compelling urge to pray many times! I can't say for sure that it was 3:a, but I'll sure check my clock next time!

I've also wondered from time to time if a study of demons would be appropriate for a Christian. My question to you would be what kind of texts, or referances you plan to use in your study? I would suggest to you that you need no other book than the Word of God! As I'm sure you know, it is whole , and complete, and has EVERY bit of information any child of God could ever need in ANY area of his Christian walk. Pray, and be open to His voice as you study,and he will supply the answers you seek! It's all in your Bible brother, but remember His is a still, small voice. God Bless You!

I have a problem that really need prayer and advice for, but I'm new to the board , and I'm not comfortable disclosing it for all members to see. I am praying that the Lord will direct the person of His choice to send a message to me . If you feel led of God to do so, I'd appriciate it! I can't talk to my pastor about this, and it's a very sensitive issue for alot of people. I will say that it involves a behavior that has gotten alot of media coverage lately, and it isn't a Christlike way of life.
