I think we have to remember God is in control of everything + knows everything. And no one can come to God besides he draws the person to himself. If you recognize God in health or illness its only because the Lord has opened your eyes + drawn you to him. I've seen alot of sick folks who dont even consider God on their deathbeds. I actually remember one woman who was a lesbian/witch and when I tried to discuss God with her (she was terminally ill/liver cancer) she told me I could save him for myself. So, we see nothing comes from us. This leads to topic that only God can save. Heatherxoxox

This is a unique topic. 1. Because the Lord recently convicted me on it. I wanted this apologetics bible + simple theology book SO bad I bought them. But, once in my house I got negative feelings when I opened them. So, I went to the Lord and asked why. And I heard clear as day "They are speaking OF me, they dont KNOW me." I understood immediately those books were about God ... people glancing in from outside of the Lord studying him. Not a actual relationship with him. Its intellectual- human philosophy. But scantify the Lord God in your hearts:and be ready always to give an answer to everyman that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. (1 peter 3:15) Yes be ready to give a answer to WHY you believe. The hope that is IN you. Not outside of you by human reasoning. Were also told not to get in vain arguements and disputes. If you go to a man and explain why you believe, and he doesnt accept it- walk away. But theology + apologetics goes deeper, they are argue their beliefs til someone is right. I dont think thats what the Lord has called us to. Heatherxoxox

Be careful. The devil is tricky. If he can get you to believe a lie + you start looking into Atlantis you can start looking into other New Age stuff. If it doesnt say it in the bible... God doesnt want us to know about it! If its in the bible God has a point to tell us. But, I can honestly say ive never heard about Atlantis in the bible, so my fascination ends there.

AMEN and AMEN only the sins of others that has sinned against us do we have the power to forgive their sins. oc Without forgiving we are not giving God room to forgive us. But, I agree its a truley difficult thing to do. Completely forgive. It shows how amazing our God really is. The characteristics we struggle for (which is already in us) is the very likeness we will one day (hopefully) shadow of Christ.

I dont know this guy seems pretty racist is to me. Hes more concerned about black people and africa than humanity as a whole. Hes for "restoration" and his commitment to "africa"- what about the rest of the World? Hes to concerned about the division- its sad. Thank you for sending their statement of believe, my friend thinks they are true Christians (they are actually missionaries in Africa) I heard statements here on WB about them be racist....but by reading the link you sent me, it sounds good or doesn't it?

I forgot exactly where, I believe in Isaiah it discusses how Jesus was with God from the beginning... the verse goes something like I was with you when you were founding the earth. He was with God always and God was glorified through him. Heather

I know this is a old thread but im going to reply anyways. Fact is- the reason for Gods destruction is Gods purpose and will. We tend to forget Gods will is perfect and not only that he foreknows our actions and motives. So perphaps he was SAVING those children from being raised in a sinful environment which therefore would have condemned them to eternity in hell. God is always good and just. Now this is just a humans perspective im sure Gods is complete as is his will. Heather There must be gray or why else would it say if we have no sin we decieve ourself????? Let me give you an example of my confusion: The bible says not to murder But the below says to "utterly destroy" men, women, children, and animals

Yep. He's black, educated, and actually speaks english well. What more could you ask for? Substance. Yeah, you, me and kat...everybody else loves the winning smile. She's not wrong for endorsing him and neither is Caroline Kennedy and using their names to do it. That is their right, same as it is yours to dismiss it outright... Yep their choice who they endorse. I only pray the leader will stand for what this country desperately needs. Amen.

Also if you read the story about Jacob. He ended up with a limp the rest of his life... sometimes we wrestle with God and his choices before God has to face us with some kind of demonstration to show us that we arent right and without him were nothing. Now mind you he carried that limp the rest of his life, so that battle he fought will never be forgotten. Heatherxxx

thank u everyone i already started some downloads to get an idea of what would be best. God blessx

thanks for all your help, I love a wide variety of music- basically anything. I do listen to Jeremy Camp and Casting Crowns their awesome... Im a God and music fanatic so anything I can listen to which brings God closer to me and my daily living I absolutely love. Thank you- Heatherxoxxo

I tried to look for the best spot to right this, I hope im not out of place. I have been looking for some good Christian songs and artists. I currently am listening too Jeremy Camp, Aaron Shust, Selah, and Barlowgirl. If anyone has any other ideas- I would appreciate it!!! Im open minded.

All the name changes are starting to confuse me, lol. The bible is truth, all the truth we'll ever need. But- If you find the bible isnt enough Gods holy spirit is. The holy spirit is there for us every step of the way. Ummm- As far as the bible matching up... is it with what you feel is true or contradicts your current belief system or is it You dont understand? Love- Heatherxoxoxox

Something comes to mind, the devil has shown the contrast from Gods goodness. Just as you look at the world you can see the beauty and vastness from Mother Theresa compared to lets say Hitler. The fact the devil exsists is really as irrelevant as the fact we exsist. Because we obviously do. Why is there evil? I dont know. Did God know Lucifer would fall? I'm sure he did. Is there a reason behind it? Yep, God plans everything together for good for the ones who love him. The way I see it (Im no one special) Lucifer was as much apart of creation as us, he has free will as well. If us humans fell into sin? Why couldnt a angel which THOUGHT he had power? THOUGHT he could have a heads up on God. Reminds me of how alot of humans behave todays societies. But- In the end they got a BIG disappointment coming. Heatherxoxox

My husband is a muslim and I asked him about the savior thing... and he said all muslims dont believe that. Its a new age type of belief system for muslims, sort of like the new age Christian branches which have taken form. Heatherxoxox
