Az,

That is very true. It is sad, that is sometimes the only thing that makes people believe one way or another. Then if someone questions them enough in an area they are not firmly planted in their faith, it can cause them to fall away from their beliefs.

That is why we as Christians are called to be ready in season and out of season. God has also said in His Word that many are called and few are chosen. I believe that we as Christians get caught up sometimes in believing that we have it within our control whether or not someone accepts Christ. When actually, we are called to share the Gospel, but it is God who saves - not us.

If someone is "chosen" then they will accept Christ in the time God has decided for them to. We have a difficult time understanding His timing and reasons, but they are perfect regardless.

I would imagine that being an atheist, you too would use logic and reason to prove or disprove any and all notions of any "higher power". The thing is though, God is not existent by our human logic / understanding. He just is, and we either accept Him or we don't.

This gets much more complicated with someone who thinks that they know who God is, yet may be wrong. I understand that Christians can be accused of the same thing by someone of another faith or lack of. But it still remains what He said in His Word... Many are called and few are chosen.

I am glad that you are here Az, and I pray that God will speak to you through the posts here. I will continue to research Mormons because I don't want to approach anyone in ignorance.

Thanks for your reply Az and everyone else.

Your sister in Christ,

Alison :emot-highfive:

Most of the missionary young people do not know all of thier doctrine, and they work very hard in thier mission work. I have often feed some since they often have to depend on people to feed them when they are out.

As have been done, or could be done with almost any denomination, leaders have spoken out of tern or even made statements that do not match thier written doctrine.

They do not have the same faith as most, but are more Christian than perhaps the churches who pretend to profess Christ but place homosexuals in leadership roles.

I would say, telling of your faith and what is great about it, is much better than cutting and pasting basic hate messages that are often twisted and misquoted.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
