His son

I'm 76 years old, and I have learned to love any music that praises and or glorifies God. I have always loved music, and had a hard time with acid rock, and rap music, but when I watched some of the kids worship Him with their own style of music, it dawned on me that it isn't the style it's the worship, so I have learned to love all Christian music that glorifies God. Took some time and work of The Holy Spirit in me but I got there. Now I can say I love all Christian music.

There is a lot of room in us for spirits. Remember the legion in one man? I personally know that it is possible to be baptized in The Holy Sprit, and then take on an evil spirit. I had to have one cast out of me, and I felt him come our, I also felt The Holy Sprirt when He came in. The spiritual realm is in our minds, and satan has access to our minds until our salvation process is completet. If he had access to Christ, who are you oh man that you think you are better than He? It's not to be worried about but just one more demonstration of the awsome work that God does in us while He is making usl like Christ.

This is all lack of understanding or lack of information about the issues. The communist, islamic agenda is to foster hatred of America, and Israel by as many of the countries, and citizens of the world as is possible to justify thier unethical acts of terror. Thier objective is world domination, so they claim that, as America, and Israels objective to get the eyes of the world on wromg side of the issue. This has been quite successful for them, and it is obvioulsly working to some extent by the posts that are written by some who post on this issue. When one talks to those who have been terrorized by thier own governments you get a totally different reaction. So I would suggest that one goes to the core of the events in a nation that have occasioned the Christian nations of the world making corrections there. This is nothing more than the continuation of the doctrines that were behind the 1ST world war, and all wars since then. When the cold hearted tyrants get started they always surround themselves with propaganda machines to justify the ungodly actions against all who oppose them.

Raise wages, raise retail prices this has been going on for the 76 years of my life, and sent all of our industry over seas. This is how the money controllers take over countries. If this country would get wise, and lower wages, and wholesale, and retail prices at the same rate we could turn the tables on them, but those who manufacture are to greedy to want to do that because the more the rich have the more they want, and the more corrupt they get. This is why we need to get the True Christians, the circumcised in heart true believeres involved in the leadership in all areas, otherwise there is only one end as it is shown in The Bible. Money will continue to influence all political power, and will eventually destroy us all unless we know The Lord, and trust Him to provide what we need for our existance. .

It has been said by more than one, that we are not going to know for sure till it happens, that what it means in The Scripture when it says that He comes like a thief in the night. No one knows when the thief is going to do his thing but himself, and Jesus adds even more of the uncertainty of when because He said that even himself doesn't know. That should be enough for anyone. I say prepare for the next second, and pray for years away. But by all means be ready!!!!!!!!

Yes definately stick to The Bible. It tells us not to lean to our own understanding, and this is definately not lined up with that one verse, much less the rest of The Bible that deals with interpretation, and learning about His Word. If He esteems it higher than Himself I recon we should take it as it is written,

Is this supposed to be a joke? There is no way Jesus could be a Democrat He said that we can't serve God, and satan.

This kind of discussion is the result of people leaning to their own understanding in disobedience to God's instructions. And once one starts with this one it is down hill all the way, going into private interpretation, adding to, and taking away from what The Scriptures say. God has told us we are not going to understand a lot of things that are written there in The Bible until such time as He knows we are ready for it, and it is needed by us to keep us on that narrow way. As hard as men try, and as much effort as they put into justifying what God has told us not to do they will never succeed in changing The Truth. Christ made a definite statement that not even He knows the day or hour, so it is just plain stupid for man to try to make themselves more knowledgeable than Him. We will know the times, and seasons period. And with God one day is as a thousand to us so be ready all the time is the only discussion we need to get involved in regarding the issue. Every thing we need is written in The Bible, and The Holy Spirit is the only one authorised by God to interpret the Bible to us.

This should answer that question for you. Keep in mind that we don't have to know the how, why, and or when. Rom 14:9-13 living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. (KJV)

A master is someone who has rights over others who are his slaves. He can tell them what to do and when to do it and there is nothing the slave can do about it. How does being under grace free us from sin as a master? How does being under law make sin our master? Sin is sin and dwells in our flesh. How does being under grace or law affect the ability of sin to control us as a master? Anybody? Carlos <{POST_SNAPBACK}> God gave Adam & Eve dominion over the universe. Adam & Eve when faced with the choice of obeying God or satan obeyed satan, and surrendered that dominion to him, and he became our lord, and master. We had no choice in matters. Christ came as a man and took mastery over satan by total surrender of His will to God's will, and set us free from his lordship over us. Christ did not put us under His mastery but He returned to us the freewill to choose who we will serve. satan forces our obedience, God does not. Temptation is only temptation, and that is where our choice comes in. God gives us total freewill to choose, and He has provided the means by which we will be able to resist all the temptations, and extended us grace period that will enable us to learn all the salvation process, and accumulate the power to overcome all temptation. Our part is to learn, and obey totally surrendering our will to His will.

And that which Christ taught us humility.

And we all join with all the Angels in heaven in rejoicing. Merry Christmas

Thats a mighty fine crew you have there, merry christmas.

All this wasted effort. If I celebrate the birth of my Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ on this day, and you call that pagan then you are the one who is in error. My family and I celebrate the birth of the saviour, we talk about Him, and worship Him on that day, and no one has any authority to call that paganism. Do what you will but you need to do some more study of The Scriptures. It is not the day, it is not what they call they day, it has nothing to do with anything other than a personal relationship, and no one knows another enough to say that they are failing in that based on what I read in these posts.

You have no other way to go if you will be a Christian. You must take up your cross, and follow Christ. He has told you that if they will do this to me what do you think they will do to you? You are involved in a war for your souls existence for eternity. There are no easy wars, nor is there any rest while you are at war. Every one of your examples of those who will follow God are examples of what you can expect. Their stories are all written in The Bible, and written so that they can be understood. You only have 2 choices, and if you think the God choice is hard read the whole book, and you will see that as hard as it is, when we get to the next pilgrimage that the other way appears easy during this one but the present suffering is a picnic compare to what the other side will spend eternity in. The war will end, and there will be the victorious, and the defeated.

I know because He took me from prison, one who deserved to die in the chair, and put me in a pulpit. He took me on 2 journeys to a glimpse of the two kingdoms. One of which was a dieing experience, and returning, The other I don't know if I died or just had a vision. The one where I died was to paradise where I met Him, and the other was a boat ride with Him in a small boat through hell, and I experienced both places, and everything that I experienced is verified in The Bible. In paradise total peace, beauty, and serenity. In hell constant continuous torture, moaning, groaning, and screaming in pain. There will never be any doubt in my mind that I am going to live eternally, and that God has given me two choices of where I shall spend that eternity, and He has given me all the information that I need to be able to make an informed choice, and by the awsome love sacrifice His Son made for me, He abolished satans lordship over me, and returned to me my freewill to choose which way I will go. Every moment of every day I am serving either God, or satan, and I can tell you of a certainty that I am submitting myself more, and more to God, and less, and less to satan, and before I draw my last breath I intend to be serving God 100% of the time, and helping as many as I can to know The Truth. That Truth is written by God in The Bible, first one in each language, and only properly interpreted by The Holy Spirit. It's a straight path, and narrow way, and gate through which we enter His Kingdom. Like The Bible say's, and few that enter in there at. I intend to be one of those few. Not because I am any smarter, or stronger than anyone else but because I know what I believe, and have a personal relationship with my saviour.

Because The Holy Spirit told Joseph that she was pregnant from The Holy Spirit, and not to come in to her till after she had the child. He also told Joseph who the child would be. After Jesus was born they had other children.

Once again we see how important active Christianity is. The schools belong to the people. We need to pray, and get involved via school board meetings etc. or the communists will continue to control.

Not only pray but put feet to those prayers. Go to the next school board meeting and let them know who is the ultimate Lord of education. That board works for you not the communists.

New seekers do not be taken in by this fallacy. There is no existing denomination that is the one true Church. They all are polluted with the doctrines of men. The one true church is made up of all those believers who are circumcised in the heart, and their only doctrine is written in The Bible and taken as written, anything else is not of God.

Grace is well demonstrated in almost any insurance policy that a person might have. It is a period of time granted to those who are unable to meet the date, and financial terms of a contract. I gives additional time to the recipient in order to meet those terms. It is also demonstrated in our court systems when the courts recognize altered behaviour by granting parole to those who have demonstrated that they are chnging their minds about their lifestyles. I can personally see both of these concepts in our relationship with our God. He is the high Judge, and we have been found guilty, and sentenced to death. God's grace delays the carrying out of that death sentence, which in reality is eternal death to our personal relationship with Him. This relationship was originaly intended to be exactly the same as our personal relationships with those we live with on a daily basis. This length of this delay is based on His personal knowledge of each individuals intellectual ability to process, and respond to His total plan for the salvation of that relationship which is a process of conviction, confession, asking Him for His forgiveness, and repentance which is a total dedication to a changed lifestyle. It is obvious in our world system that the neccessity for these things come about because of our freewills to make behavioral choices, and it follows that the outcome of where we will spend our eternity will also come about as a result of that freewill to choose. No one can nor will force us into a choice in the matter. And of course like with the grace extended for the insurance there are condititions that have to be met, the same as with the parole, and if they are not, the grace has been refected so it is with God's grace we can of our own freewill choice walk away from it.

I read all this and I can only say why? I haven't read any Jew bashing by anyone, but I have read quite of few words of it being proclaimed. The Bible is full of all that has ever happened to the natural Jews. They were told all about it long before it came upon them. They were told how they could avoid it, and they chose to ignore God on that issue, and so when I happens they wast all their time trying to attribute their misfortions to anyone else. This same holds true for all of us. All that we go through, the good, the bad, and the ugly are results of our own freewill choices. Since Christ said it is finished that means just that. It is finished. God has done away with the middle wall of pertition, and now He Has one fold, one Shepherd, one family (the children of Abrahams promise) made up of all the circumcised in the heart believers in Jesus Christ as the only way to The Father, one entrance into His Kingdom, and only one way to get there. Thats what is written in The Bible, and that's The Truth, The Whole Truth, and nothing but The Truth.

I have read some claims here about PK that are not based on a PK gathering at all. I have been a long time PK meeting attender, and I also am an ex-mormon, and I know from personal experience that most of the criticisms posted here against PK are not based on fact. We are not called to judge ministries, we are only to judge the fruit of ministries, and I have seen many conversions, and changed lives because of promise Keepers.

In John's 17th he prays that God take us not out of the world but that He would keep us from the evil's of. Due to the fact that things got turned around from our original marching orders to take The Gospel to all the world, and we have brought almost all the worlds ways into the church, we can start doing the great commission right where we are, and if we are totaly under The Holy Spirits control, we will either be kicked out or help them change. That's the way The Gospel works when used by The Holy Spirit.

They ask no quarter, we should give them no quarter. This should settle the issue for any who would like to ride the fence on the issue, and understand that the only way they will be stopped is to eliminate them, just like God is going to do with satan when He is ready.
