My Church the nightclub

[Scarletprayers]

Ah, FA thats not the context that verse is being used for. It means if your heart is good, you will do good things with your life, and if your heart is evil you will do evil things. It doesn't have anything to do with curses. Now I'm not saying we should go around with the doom and gloom attitude because I don't believe there is anything Christian about that, but God is the one who takes the bread we cast out upon the waters and returns it to us, the good we do or the bad we do is returned to us, either in this life or the next.

1. The sanctuary is a place where God meets His people when they come together--kinda special place!

Scripture?

2. God will bless His people when they come together in His sanctuary...He will be present in praise. He will cover with His protection! Why wouldn't it be a safe secure place where God's presence is?

Where can we go from God's presence? Scripture?

3. Lights can cause seizures. I am an ex-nurse, and happen to know. Never said they didn't.

Um, you certainly seemed dumbfounded when this was first brought up.

4. It isn't a curse. It is a curse when one speaks negatively, trying to force one's view that using lights to glorify God in worship will bring a physical malady. Now THAT is ugh.

Why? Scripture?

5. Positive-negative confession is a very real concept. Luke 6:45...A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.

Oh of course! Name it claim it! *rolls eyes*

Your simplistic responses deserve only the answer: read the Word of God for yourself! Think.

Right - the passage is about our works, not cursing things and claiming things.

I personally would never attend a congregation that used strobe lights during its regular worship services or anything that modern. Actually if I had my way we would not use any electricity and try to worship as people did 1000 years ago, but as I have said, that is me. However as I have also said I can't find any scriptural reason to ban strobe lights or electronically enhanced music etcc, it comes down to style in these cases.

It seems to be one of those cases that we fight about that is simply not necessary to fight about, we have thousands of congregations in this country and certainly we can find one that preaches the Gospel, sticks to scripture and also conducts thier services in a style that we feel glorifies God.

LOL. My responses were "simplistic" because I know it's pointless to waste too much effort correcting you. You don't receive it. I read the Word of God..and more importantly, I learn how to rightly divide it...something you should look into sister.

(psst...by the way, I know this will come as a shock to you but...that verse you quoted is talking about our actions flowing out of our heart. you're missapplying it in this case. SHOCK)

Should read: "Yeah...there's really no scripture for what I said."

There is scripture for all of it! And you should know that. Because you and sidekick basically gang up together to put people down and harass them, I will not respond further to your taunts. It is not conducive to the unity in the bond of Christ nor is it something Jesus would have me do.

Um...hello? You're the one calling us names and personally attacking us. You're the one, again, who is doing the taunting and harrassing. Again, big shocker there. I'm sure we'll see yet another thread destroyed now. Congrats. See? This is why I didn't waste my time offering you Scripture. You do not receive correction AT ALL. You immediately get nasty. Very unrefined.

I reported your behavior (again). Of course, at some point it would be really nice to see some repentance.

Offer scripture! Go ahead. I do receive correction when required. In this case, I don't require it.

Your gift is exasperation.

So, uh... where's all that "speaking the truth in Love" I hear so much about?

Look... I know I'm new here, but seriously...

Why even bother wasting all the words? Just copy and paste "No! I'm smarter than you!" and call it good.

if people have a bone to pick with each other, send emails or PMs... but work it out. As Axe has rightly said, the last two pages of crap I've been reading are nowhere in the vicinity of "edifying".
