We are told to try the spirits for not every spirit is of God. If what I hear see or feel is not backed up by God's Word then I know it is false. Feelings can and often lead many people astray. That's why we need to know and understand His word. It's our only road map to heaven. Where to start? I'm not sure. Why not begin with the first book of the NT and go from there. Prayerfully, Willow99

I do have a question for you Marnie. How do you know that? I have heard people make statements like this before, that God no longer judges nations, or that he deals with nations differen't today than under the Old covernant, but what is that based on? Do you have any scripture that shows that to be the case? I'm not asking you this just to be argumentative, but because I am trying to understand where this belief comes from, since I have never seen it in the Bible. Psalm 33:8-19 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devises of the people of none effect. 11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14 From the place of his habitiation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. 16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. I do not know about the judging of nations but I do know we will be judged for self and self alone. There are many people in "heathen" nations who are born again Christians. I even know of one who lives in Pakistan. Just to make a short response to the post. Willow99

Amen! Well said. Willow99

Even many Christians tend to forget at times how being worldly will corrupt us. In answer to your main question - We are told to come out from among the world and be a separate people. We cannot comprise that. Willow99

So far I have been blocking them from my e-mail box as they come. New ones keep right on coming. A real headache for sure.

As a newbie I feel for this sort of thing many times but now I did know better. Live and learn and learn - exactly. Bless you too

Yes!

I knew better but this seemed so real and I thought American Greetings was a company with a good name. I have learned my lesson very, very well!

American Greetings: I do not appreciate all the spam you have been sending to my email address since the moment I filled out a survey; claiming I had won a laptop. This is fraud! I had not won anything only an opportunity to be entered in a contest to win. You did this solely to obtain my e-mail address and personal information. I rejected every spam offer you gave to no avail. I demand it be stopped immediately! I also plan to take every legal step possible to see that you do not do this to another single person. I will be warning everyone I can get in touch with about your fraudulent site. Good Day (I want to warn everyone to steer clear of this site.}

The Holy Spirit gives us the power to overcome sin in this life. I agree we all still sin - perhaps it's an unkind thought towards another or failing to have a proper prayer life, etc. But, habitual continual sin in the breaking of the commands of God is another matter. Jesus said, with every temptation I will make a way of escape. We have to be overcomers and endure until the end. God Bless, Willow99

Amen, sister! Willow99

I couldn't agree with you more. Fine interpretation of scriptures. Willow99

If Windows won't boot at all, you can still get the stuff off by using a Linux Live-CD. One of those boots the Linux OS off the CD drive and will read both FAT32 and NTFS formats from the hard disk. (FAT32 = Win 98 and earlier & NTFS = XP and higher.) There are quite a few different ones and they can be downloaded for free and burned to cd. I keep several around in my "tool box" for dealing with things like that. Once Linux is up, I can copy anything I need to from the PC's hard drive to an external hd, usb stick, and in one case - a guy's camera (that was all he had at the time.) I need help! I wasn't permitted to start a new thread here so I'm hoping someone will answer my post anyway. I'm trying to learn all I can about computers but my husband doesn't know much and doesn't care to learn. He says a hacker has planted a porno movie on his puter. I am doubtful this can be done. He has his computer password protected and keeps his office locked at all times. So no one there could have downloaded the movie on him. It's in his downloaded files. I'm desperate to know the truth about this. Please somebody who knows this stuff answer me ASAP. Please move this post if it needs be. Thank you so much, Willow99
