You all challenge me as they challenged Christ and as Christ said I will tell you the same you have given me no explanation as to what authority you have to question whom given me this truth and wisdom neither will I tell you by what authority i opperate and I recieve this truth and wisdom from.

You seem to have some wisdom for that is what I also say as God has revealed to me is that satan has no power over me.

Actually, Jesus did not say that. I believe that king Solomon wrote that in Proverbs. It actually goes, "As a man thinks in his heart so he is..." So....Does that mean that if I think and believe really hard in little Neverland faieries that I will be able to fly? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now you tell what Christ didnt say and you have no wisdom of the scriptures you have read the bible and yet you do not understand them thats why I asked you about interracial marriage and you could not really explain it you have no wisdom because you are going off your own knowledge and beliefs rather than seeking god for his wisdom and truth.

I guess my question is should we fear satin and his power. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We should fear God and be careful of how close we let satan get to us. Be wary.!. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> does satan have any power over us?

Who's on first? What's on second? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dunno......... THIRD BASE! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You see it was this sort of thing that led to the death of Christ for when Christ went to Jerusalem they asked him the same. by what authority do you have to say that i do not speak for God whom has given me truth. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ben, by chance do you want to tell us about people playing town? I think you've been to the infamous Voice of God Teaching School. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ronald you play with this as if it is a game but I am serious answer my last reply.

Im sorry Gerioke But you are wrong Christ said as a man thinketh so is he for when when Christ was in the temple he told us to go and sin nomore and to be perfect as our father in heaven is perfect a man can change his thoughts if he truly turns his life over to God and follows Christ. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you never have thoughts that would offend God? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When you say offend what do you mean do I sin yes but to say I have not changed from the state that i was is yes i have for when we accept christ we see truth and the reason for this is that God had a purpose for a man and a woman to marry and that was for the continual ongoing of man so that we would manifest more of God himself as we are made in his image and his likeness.

I guess my question is should we fear satin and his power.

But dont you think that there could have been some believers in Christ in Asia where the tsunami stuck... Could have been...probably were. Well, if it were the case that God spared Christians in every place where there was the loss of life, then there probably wouldn't be very many unbelievers on the earth. I think that it's more a matter of the way you view God's hand in these situations. Is God unrighteous for allowing believers to die with unbelievers? Or perhaps He is righteous because He allows believers to perish with the unbelieving.... The point is, we don't judge God according to our own sense of right and wrong. God's righteousness, His judgments, and His ability to work all things out for the good to those who are called according to His purpose, far transcend our own temporal understanding. Well, that really is not my place to say one way or another, since God has not made the announcement publicly Actually, it sort of rubs me the wrong way when certain religious leaders try to say that something like the Indonesian tsunami was a judgment from God. Who are they to speak on behalf of God in this way?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you believe it was judgement from God? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I wrote, it is not my place to judge one way or another. One thing is for certain, however: When God's wrath is poured out on the great day of His judgment, we will all know very clearly what it is and why. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I will tell you what I know it was God and as this may seem as if I blaspheme or I try to speak for God I do not but make no mistake it was Gods Judgement. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> God's judgment on whom, exactly? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On the unjust and the wicked now could there have been some believers there possibly but just as God did in Sadaam & Gamoram He did the same there that was not mother nature but was Gods judgement to the unrighteous. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then why did God choose that location where that the gospel is now starting to make inroads (check out Gospel For Asia) instead of our country where that people know of Him but refuse to follow Him? We're more to be likened to Sodom and Gomorrah than that region of the world. The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust both-don't try to speak for God when He hasn't announced it Himself! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes the bible says that and can you not see it happening here we are foolishly blinded by what we are taught to believe and we do not seek God we do not see the wrath of God being poured upon man which God has been doing so for centuries even in Israel and God did not judge Israel because they were Israel when they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years it was because of sin and God killed some those even some of those who believed on the way to the promise land because of sin.

Whew....Slow down, brother Ben. I can hardly keep up with ya' here. LOL The simple answer is, of course, God's salvation is available to all who call upon His name (Rom. 10:11-12) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So a gay can be saved and be gay at the same time? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't write that. I wrote that salvation is open to whomever calls upon the name of the Lord. Can a murderer receive the Lord and continue to murder? Can a thief steal in the name of Jesus? Can liar continue to deceive thousands for money and do all for God's glory? I think the answer is pretty clear. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will be frank with you I would say NO a gay cannot be saved and inherit the kingdom of God at the same time for God has already said it is an abomination.For we when we sin we ask forgiveness when Christ healed and forgave he said go and sin nomore now we still sometimes sin but how can we possible inherit the kingdom of God and live every second in sin for when Christ forgave the adultress Christ didnt just forgive her but her forgave her and told her to forsake her sin and to turn from her sinful ways as can a gay do the same he can be saved by turning from his sinful ways and going to christ and by accepting salvation then they can inherit the kingdom of God for I do not hate the gays for it is some that I love most and one of the reasons why I love them most is that they are taught that they can inherit the kingdom of God and be gay at the same time.

I would like help on the issue of whether a Gay can have be saved and have salvation through Jesus Christ?

Thanks Gerioke but would you think that this whole thing could come from satin?please answer this is a serious question. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why would satan want to glorify God? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you ever seen the movie luther?

I mean is there any indication or reference on how all this came about??

Thanks Gerioke but would you think that this whole thing could come from satin?please answer this is a serious question.

Is there anywhere in the Bible that talks about where the different races comes from or where they there in the beginning?Please Help.

But dont you think that there could have been some believers in Christ in Asia where the tsunami stuck and wouldnt God save them as God had told Abraham when he asked God to spare Sadaam And Gamoram if he could find one righteous dont you think that there was one righteous one who believed and followed Christ?And do you think God Did this as punishment and justice and judgement for sin?

What do you mean by that? Its not that I dont like the music but as for those saying that doing so is Gods will would God tell a man to do such a thing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure what you're asking Does God like Christian rock? I would think he likes it better than Ozzy . But he might not like it as much as the gregorian monks. I think God likes anything that glorifies Him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess my question is for when paul and the other apostles preached the word they were doing Gods will. Christian artist on the other hand sitaround and just sing to glorify God is that what God would want us to do or to do as the apostles did? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Larry Norman preached the gospel so did Randy stonehill and keith green I don't believe they were just sitting around. Have you ever listened to any of those guys? Besides, worship is the highest form of praise. How do we give thanks without worship? Are you saved? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes Gerioke I am saved I asked because we listen to people Kurt Franklin & Dc Talk and they sing to God and say they are doing his will but did Not Jesus Christ say in the temple that we say yes to God but that doesnt mean were doing his will?

I currently watch billy graham on tv and after hearing about the tsunami they said it was not God who caused but just nature itself if anyone has any input on this that can help me clear this up I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks Ben
