Not words but acts count the same for us, its easy to know the words to say but if you don't act by them it means nothing. I believe and this is sad to say--that there are too many Christians who are far to judgemental in seeing the thorns in somebody else their eyes. There is a very nice Jewish couple who lives in Toronto they are traveling around to witness theirt believe in Jesus. We had the honor of having them for supper one evening--they gave us beautiful tape with Jewish songs made by their daughter Miriam. For me to remember them by I got a little silver "Menorah" to hand on a necklace, its very special to me. He had a different teaching on the topic of "Heaven, I forget now how he explained it. Where do you live and is your family born again also? I never heard about holocaust rememberance day either , but its a very good thing because people forget too soon. I heard a program on the radio this week , they were talking about how we are reliving the years before the war started again.....and we can see hatred towards the Jews flaring up everywhere, in France they don't even want to show the movie "The Passion" because of hatred already. Sad to say--but the good news this world is not lasting forever Friends in Christ,Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Nebula, Shiloh - I haven't heard of Holocasust Rememberance Day before. When is it? This year Yom HaShoah falls on Monday, April 19, 2004. The Hebrew calendar has it set on the date Nisan 28th. It is just after Passver which falls on the 14th of Nisan. In ancient times Nisan was kown by the name Aviv. The Hebrew and Gregorian caledars over lap and since the Hebrew Calendar is lunar, and the Gregorian Calendar is solar, there are some differnces every year. Nisan 28th falls on a different Gregorian date every year. Next year, Nisan 28th will be on a different Gregorian date. It is the day that we remember the six million Jews who died in the camps. We light a seven branched Menorah on that day, one candle for each 1 million souls, and the seventh is reserved especially for the 1 and 1/2 million children who were among the six million. We also honor the memories of those who went to the camps who were not Jewish. There were many who had the moral judgement to oppose Hitler, and were thus killed. There were many who tried to help the Jews, and they were interred in the camps. There were many Christians who gave their lives to protect Jews from Hitler's madness. They made the supreme sacrifice, and they will never be forgotten. Indeed, their reward in Heaven is great. On that day, we have special prayers, and in Synagogues, there are special services that day. It is almost like a Sabbath, in that the Jewish world shuts down, closes its businesses, and takes time to remember. Many Messianic Synagogues celebrate the day. You live in Baltimore, correct? You might look around. There are several Messianic congregations around there. (I wish I lived up there, believe me) You are sure to find one that will be celebrating Yom HaShoah, if you are interested. If you want, I will provide a listing of congregations with addresses and phone #'s in your area. You can then check and see what they are doing on Yom HaShoah.

One thing, though, angels, if you could fix the post a bit so it's less confusing? Like, do this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Country - Solution Population - Population Annihilated - Number Percent Poland - 3,300,000 - 3,000,000 - 90 * * * Total: 8,861,800 - 5,933,900 - 67 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks!

Her walk with the Lord and the things she did are wonderful examples of the Lord. I love her calling herself a tramp for the Lord.(She used to go to places like Russia before the wall came down. With only one suit case she traveled and spread the gospel). She gave her all and what a blessing she was! I never tire of hearing her testimony.

Guest shiloh357 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 One story about Corrie Ten Boom I will never forget, is when she was ministering in China, and she was staying in a hotel room one of the main cities. She found a ' microphone that evidently was supposed to be "hidden" down in a corner on the floor. She knew that the Chinese authorities were listening to her every word and movement, so she got down on her hands and knees with her Bible and got up real close to the microphone and preached gospel to the Chinese authorities for almost an hour or so. As she was leaving the hotel the next day she actually got an opportunity to witness face to face to one of the guards who was assigned to listen in on her room. I think that is a neat story.

That's when it was out in theatres. I also borrowed it from our church library about a month ago. What amazing faith that woman (and her family) had. There's another great story from a dutch writer, Diet Eman, called Things We Couldn't Say. This woman's job was to transport and hide Jews during the war. Another amazing woman of great faith.
