RGR Amen well said Steves right great post Bless You F1

RGR - Brooooo Yes I am looking a little green around the gills late entrance in better than no entrance brother! Oh my :x: I have Irish blood in me as well from my mother's side, but the Lord has tempered it much thank goodness, we bit's of Irish sure can get inflamed and rapid LOL now when I feel frustrated I just talk rapidly to our Lord, His answer is always, 'Be still my girl be still and know that I am God, read my Word and let me get a word in' LOL Seriously though, I really dont understand people's attitudes, I mean I know it originates from Satan and sin and so forth but we still have choice. When I was in the US I saw so many black women with white men and I thought they looked like the most cutest gorgeous couples and their offspring were just amazingly beautiful. Here in NZ we have a lot of Asian immigrants and they are very much pestered and railed against by some NZ born people, it makes me so sick. One politician wants them all shipped back to wherever they came from....and then later he makes a statement saying he is not racist against Asians but that his great grandmother was Chinese...what a silly hypocritical twit. Anyway your right who gives a toss what race any couple come from it is their right before God to live in freedom and peace with eachother and others. Blessings from your slightly green friend with bad dandruff from down under LOL a.k.a. F1

WISDOM - Amen brother! Happy you were blessed by all our Christian brothers and sisters as I have been. WB surely is a blessed ministry and the Holy Spirit is moving and working among His people. It was a happy day for me when I became a member the Lord has taught me much here and I am most thankfull. Christ has used George God-man and Dr Luke in a tremendous way, and many others besides. Amen. Yeeeeeah! the Body of Christ what's colour got to do with it? Zippo! F1

Ericka - That is really nice that your tags said 'from Jesus' -------------------------------------------------- He All, I am only giving my personal opinion on the whole Santa deal K...if anyone chooses to go with the flow of Santa then that's great for you, I strongly believe in freedom to choose and share opinions. BTW I was bought up believing their was a Santa and I had some real fun Christmases it just kinda all changed for me when I came to Christ I saw some things a whole lot differently is all. Yet I still listen to secular music with some questionable lyrics (but not all) so am I being hypocritical? nah I dont think so, just the Lord has'nt touched on that in my conscience yet and I dont even know if He will...I'm still in the process of learning wonderful things everyday.... Enjoy your holidays when they come whatever it is you do Amen! F1

Tyler - Your welcome to the compliment Yes we can agree to disagree, it's only 'points' LOL and all's well with God's children !!! Calaiming Christ Amen your right...without Him we would have more to be concerned with than just the colour of our skin or anything else. Blessings F1

Hi Mary, I dont believe we have ever posted to each other, so it's finally a blessing to be able too I'm a little like you a bit of this and a bit of that and like you God has made me who I am even if my pic looks a little green LOL and I am thankful to Him. I'm very 'comfortable in my own skin' as the saying goes and that comes from Christ and Him living in me Amen! Thanx for posting Mary. Many Blessings to you F1

Hi Tyler - Love that name BTW I gotta disagree with you on the 1 2 3 deal. As Christians we maybe backslidden at times but that does not I believe, take away our right to be called a Christian. I believe in 2 types of people as Trav said at the start of this thread 1) Saved 2) Unsaved But I sure do agree with you on the skin and ethnic background..so true! Blessings F1

IR - I went to East Coast Bays Church for a wee while when I first came back from Canada, then I mived further North. Oh this world is so small indeed. Great people in that church. It's only about 2 hours from where I live now. Great pic IR I quoted your post because I like to look at peoples photos and the more I quote it the more it's on the thread LOL. My wierd thinking is all. Wow you do have a selection of nationalities in your family how wonderful. Thanks for sharing sis F1

Dove Amen sis! Our father is 'no respector of persons' and that covers many areas not just that of colour. And yes it is 'Kiwi Land' Aotearoa in Maori....Land of the Long White Cloud is how that word is translated. Arohanui e dove e hoa :il: ( I know you know what that means!) BTW sis interesting to note that not one word in the Maori language ends in a constanant! (sp) all vowels.

IR - Wow that is interesting, great stuff. I only have a NZ pass/port but lived in Canada for a wee while so I have dual citezenship with CAN/NZ so can aslo come and go freely through the US it's wonderful. Can I ask what part of NZ he is from? North or South Island? F1

IR - what a wonderful daughter you have I enjoyed reading your post and a great pic..thanx Blessings F1

Amen brother Mike I thought I was looking a bit green aas well...LOL so you all better stay way from me told ya the green people were'nt guys LOL Great post brother

Gosh PPaul - I had to read that twice LOL to make sure I read it the first time lol, yes very true bout how the 'world' sees marriages it's terribly horrid! and I was bought up to believe that men with men and women with women was acceptable. My mum was and still is very out there in her liberal thinking. But I love her dearly and pray for constantly but I thank God He got a hold of my heart and thinking and changed it Amen! F1

Cheeky RGR/rmj7 anyone would think I was killing you :t:

Amen PPaul we are made in His image...

A007 - thanks for your post and I agree with you on children from interalationships, they can be very good looking children, although that is not the point, but I find it interesting in Job where God blessed him 'again' with the fairest of daughters in all the land. So he sure does choose what we look like. BTW folks, now did I say that those green 'people' where guys? I dont believe I gave them a particular gender LOL...

Ditto JIG2 Amen Dr Luke!

Ditto JIG2 Amen Dr Luke!

Yeah the green people are a bit leary LOL

Artsylady, Yes I agree with you on that one, however I have learnt the hard way that even if both are Christians that still does not mean they are with the right person...but that's another thread

My opinion to Trav, thanks for your thoughts.

Brothers & Sisters, A friend briefly told me yesterday about someone who is in a mixed marrage, and I was thinking about this last evening. Do you think that God wants us to 'stick' with our own kind? (I dont mean to make us all sound like fruit trees and birds etc as in the creation) My personal opinion is that our 'own kind' are Christians with Christians and not the other...I think that is the only 'line in the sand' that the Lord draws. Your thoughts and opinions on this would be appreciated. Blessings All F1

You are phunnnnny I like how you worded that Trav very tactful funny and to the point! F1

Dr Luke Interesting. I did not know that there are other ways to fast besides denying ourselves food for the flesh! George I also did not know that there are different yrpes of 'food fasts' such as Daniel did. I always thought it was only what Christ did with His 40 days in the wilderness. Thankyou both, I am learning much and pondering many things with joy and thankfullness to our Father Blessings F1
