What an opportunity you have!!! What does Yahweh want you to do? He's definitely not finished with you. Whatever our purpose, the most important thing we can do is always spend more time with Him.

To me a healthy version of prayer means prayers such as "whatever it takes to get their attention - save them at any costs" aren't prayed nor the opposite end of the spectrum - "white magic" type of prayers.

It's both - His temple in us and a physical temple - to be built.

patricia1 the children referred to in this url - http://www.worthyboards.com/index.php?show...c=7322&st=0 Is this what you were referring to?

The Bible is His will as already stated. There are reasons why prayers aren't answered such as 1Pe 3:7

GW translation provides a better understanding - Rom 6:16 "Don't you know that if you offer to be someone's slave, you must obey that master? Either your master is sin, or your master is obedience. Letting sin be your master leads to death. Letting obedience be your master leads to God's approval. Rom 6:17 You were slaves to sin. But I thank God that you have become wholeheartedly obedient to the teachings which you were given. Rom 6:18 Freed from sin, you were made slaves who do what God approves of."

andy - I'm wondering if a site that points to our differences will somehow bring unity. There are believes that feel like the different denominations should come together. Some places have a monthly meeting of some type - meal, or singing, etc. on a local level. You know if you ask Yahweh to guide you, He will.

Sounds like a good book. Thanks for posting. Also, Christians should have a t-shirt that says "Not Perfect - Just Forgiven!"

Good advice already posted. We have Christ Jesus as our model - when the enemy tried to tempt Him, He said "It is written..." So find some meaningful scriptures to you such as Phi 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Call on His strength (something I'm learning myself).

I don't plan to vote for Obama - he wants to take "In God We Trust" off our money so everyone will be included - as he excludes us.

Compared to some other religions, as believers we don't do good works to earn our salvation but rather good works are the result of being saved. Therefore, there isn't a wondering - how many good works does it take? For Christians, it is clearly defined. 1Jo 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Yahweh is faithful and just!

Scripture doesn't contradict itself, those scriptures are referring to a spiritual death, not natural.

Aerial projecting is when someone leaves their body and travels. To me, it's dangerous but some believers do it for fun.

I've read some of Obama's speeches, they sound good. BUT when he wants to take "In God We Trust" off our money b/c he wants everyone included. Then no to Obama - no matter how wonderful his personality.

Looked at some research on viper eggs, etc. earlier. Here's a couple of urls: http://www.christadelphianbooks.org/agora/...less/u-v02.html and http://www.enduringword.com/commentaries/2359.htm that might interest you.

Do you think giving Israel's land away per Bush's plan which is being developed in 2008 means our country is supporting Israel? Sorry I don't mean to derail the thread. Scripture says that Yahweh puts into office who He wants. I've tried to find that scripture - do you know where it is? As someone pointed out, believers have responsibility to our nation - "2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

You might read "The Purpose Driven Life" it is helpful in this area.

Yes, the enemy will come as an angel of light sometimes but everyone's experience isn't that.

Posted: "I do not believe that they have a so called word from the Lord to people and do other things I've seen people do." Thank goodness Yahweh still speaks today and uses prophets.

On the OP - I can certainly see why this is upsetting. Yet the enemy will always offer a counterfeit. Then many believers act like there's nothing we can do about it. In the natural, I think a website that offers Godly advice concerning this is an excellent idea. We've all just sat by as Harry Potter sites, etc. have covered the net. How much does a website costs? Is there someone who knows web design that would donate their services? Of course, we've got believers who think aerial projecting or whatever it's called, is ok.

Prophets can be just one means of communication that Yahweh uses. I've seen it touch the hearts of many - including those whose theology didn't include it previously.

There is a training period for every type of ministry (such as shown in II Kings 2) - even the original 12 studied 3.5 years - but not in a seminary.
