I think I said your comments were ignorant. I dont know you, so how can I know your mental state? Personally, I think you're a pretty cool guy, and I would definitely have coffee with you, so long as you pick up the check. She is free to comment on my comments, but how can she know I am a bad person if she never met me? No double standards at all. I did not say you are a bad person. I said you aren't a very nice person. But after reading your last post about your physical disability and how you have over come such great odds maybe you have a right to be so hard on others. I don't know for sure. I just know what I saw.

I would have to say that's quite a statement, considering you don't know me. Are you exercising a gift of the Spirit? It doesn't take a gift to see what I said must hold truth. You wrote the words yourself, all throughout the thread. It was observation. page 3, page 2, page 1 you are all over people for speaking their minds. And I must say in a very rude way.

I'm pretty new here and I read all the different posts in this thread and I would have to say Marnie that you aren't a very nice person. Maybe you need to get off your own asset and find something to do besides climbing up the assets of others

I don't understand any of what is being said here. I tried to follow it but there are too many terms that make no sense to me. What I do know. Is that Christ promised He would return. And that all evil would be overcome. The rest of it? I just don't know! Can someone interpret this into laymans terms for me? I would surely appreciate it.

Believe me I have received your words with the grace intended...and not to keep this going because that is not my intent. I want you to know that I have sought God regarding this issue..that is why I have no regrets for stating what I have stated. I have no hard feelings what so ever.. Many blessings to you today and always, are my prayers for you.

LadyC, I completely understand the entire concept of this conversation and also know that as much as you have a right to say how you feel about it so do I. And my final statement to my post was to pray and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. I also believe that we are closer than what many feel when it comes to things such as the mark of the beast. If they told me I had to put my thumbprint on a DL in order to have it, I wouldn't have it. No more than I would allow an implanted credit card chip with all of my info placed into me for the convenience of not having to carry a wallet. This practice of the credit card is voluntary and happening today..is this the voluntary mark of the beast? Even if it isn't I want no part of it. Why? Because I get a pull on my spirit that tells me not too. Do I generally advocate breaking the law. Heavens NO! But today is so much different than yesterday and the days of this earth as we know it are numbered. So I guess if I get a flogging in the town square for saying no and telling others to say no too, then a flogging I will get. So if I have shocked you or anyone else. So be it, I do not regret the words I have spoken.

Chances are when we ARE in the end times and we are looking the MARK in the face and standing against the beast we will all find loopholes...which if course will be in place in order for us to continue to exist until the time Christ returns..IMHO

God bless you..it was quite shocking wasn't it!

You still have your other state DL and you can cash payroll checks..if a bank won't do it then pay a fee at one of those cheesy little check cashing places.. and get a job with a DL not issued in that state. Drive safely and obey the traffic laws. Loopholes are made for reasons I personally would refuse also and take my chances..if this is the beginning of how the mark will be functioning and you refuse then you are covered by God and His promise to keep us hidden in the midst of it. Don't tell lies however about your place of residence. They can only ticket you if you get a traffic violation..they might suspend your name so that you are unable to get an issued DL until you pay your tickets but they are not going to throw you into prison. Pray about it and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit..

Marnie said LOL..I'm not Jewish but I totally feel you sister..I'm too young to be single and too old to wait much longer!!! I love it....oy!!

Well it says 7 days, I have to believe it was seven days. Besides does it really matter? The creation happened..that is really the importance, not the length of time a day is or even a year, or a thousand years for that matter.

wow this is a lot to take in..but within my spirit I hear truth in what has been said in this thread..thankyou all for this information.

I wonder if the demoniac who went about the place cutting himself sought the counsel of a psychologist..... My God people, can you NOT see that cutting is symptomatic of Baal Worship....The demoniac went about the tombs cutting himself with stones..... When did he stop cutting himself...????? When he SAW Jesus. Just as those who worshipped Baal at Mount Carmel in the time of Elijah sought the attention of their god by cutting themselves....ANYONE who is cutting themselves is seeking to find some attention. YES they are in pain and YES they more than likely have some hidden trauma in their lives, but NO psychologist is going to help.... When are Christians EVER going to look to Jesus....????? For Gods sake people.....Psychologists refer to psychiatrists, and psychiatrists refer to medication...That is NOT help.. It is not dealing with the issues at hand. All medication does is suppress the illness...It in NO way deals with it at all... There is a demonic spirit behind those who cut themselves, even if THEY dont realise it. It was only Christ who set the demoniac free....and he had so many demons oppressing him, he was given the name "Legion" , for we are many.. I have a question for the church, and it has phased me and bothered me from day one of my salvation....... Im going to post it here and now because I feel it needs to be asked.... If WE as the body of Christ have been given the authority and the power to cast out demons, lay hands on people and see them healed, trample snakes and scorpions......If WE the Church have the answer to all the evils of the world, then why the hell is it that the WORLD is the only ones looking after them...???? Where is that power and where is that authority when all we do is confine them to institutions because we havent got a damn clue what to do about it...?? Could this have something to do with Pauls scriptures about "having a form of godliness and religion YET denying the POWER....????" I must ask.....Because quite frankly, I am sick and tired of watching people fade away and die, when WE the church the body of Christ are supposed to be the ones looking after them... I do NOT doubt the goodness of God. I do NOT doubt the POWER of God....What I DO doubt is how we as Christians do NOT fully live the very lives we profess to believe in. WE HAVE BECOME JUST LIKE THE WORLD........and it GRIEVES me no end... This may seem harsh, but it needed to be said. Im sorry if I have stepped on anyones toes...and make NO mistake...I am pointing fingers at myself also. Regards, Ben. Ben, even if your words are harsh, they are only harsh because of the righteous anger that must boil in God's own veins..for we were left in charge of the people..yet so few step out of their comfort zones to do it. No your words are accurate. I am right there with you brother..

No kidding! it can be like a disease..one person starts and if it isn't stopped before you know it everyone is doing it. The work place and within families can be the hardest places not to catch it. But then that is how satan works isn't it? He will find his way into the lives of everyone, one way or another.

We are to speak the truth in Love. oc is it not love to tell people about hell and how they can be saved from going there? yes it is! I agree tell it like it is..don't hold back because you are worried about scaring someone. Fear can be a good thing.

sometimes it is hard not to gripe. when i catch myself (or i should say God convicts me) i remember what jesus went through and that is all it takes.
