It seems that everytime someone comes to a "Christian Board" and has a question about one of the topics that are argued over by Christians themselves, like tithing,church going,bible doctrine on predestination and so on..this poor honest soul is attacked and devoured before they know what hit them..they are left with their head spinning and more questions then when threy first came on...What is going on among "Christians"? Are we not commended by Jesus to do all things through Prayer and Love? How does this kind of behavior do either? I am disappionted in my brothers and sisters in christ... I pray the Holy Spirit who is the only one who can,will restore the unity between us before we do to much damage...

WE ARE NOT HERE TO SAVE THE WORLD...GOD IS VERY CAPABLE OF HANDLING THAT DEPARTMENT. WE ARE HERE FOLKS TO LOVE...AND LIVE OUR LIVES AS EAMPLES OF THE LOVE WE HAVE RECIEVED FROM HIM...

PLEASE DONT ATTACK YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER FOR JUST HAVING AN OPINION,PICK YOUR BATTLES...IF IT IS NOT LIFE OR DEATH DONT WORRY ABOUT IT...

Wow...I feel better...

It does get overboard alot doesn't it. There are times I wonder if people just like to argue. I however remind you this is the vehicle you are using. The diversity here lends itself to differing opinions and most visiting here are looking for a challenge to defend their varied philosophies Christian and nonChristain. Some of them have agendas that are not holy or dangerously inaccurate, to not defend truth would be a miscarriage of responsibility to point people to the truth. However, we must guard against personal attacks, which I see as well. Objective thinking is a discipline so few have, so i am sure there are casualities which is regrettable and should be avoided. Some people though, just want to be offended, and they find it. I am sure Angel, your name fits your personality... :taped:

I've heard it said, "Christians are the only ones who kill their wounded". I'm not sure if that's entirely true, but sometimes it feels that way.

Thankfully, we serve a God that doesn't allow his feelings to interfere with the way he deals with sin and sinners.

My own opinion is that I know I can't possibly be correct on everything I believe because I'm not God. So whatever I think is just an opinion.

But there is much you know is not opinion but truth right?

I agree 100%, and I thank you for having the courage to say it. I'm new to online discussions, and parts of it I really like, but there are parts that bother me. The following is the end of a poem, that ends with a prayer, I wrote after watching some of it. I'm not a poet, and it is a work in progress, so please be gentle.

The clattering valves of stainless steel hearts,

Echo in the hollow chambers of cast iron souls,

and the Church in silent adoration lies sleeping,

worshipping her goodness and calling it Christ,

the Church in silent adoration lies sleeping.

Holding back love, so generous to judge,

the Church in silent adoration lies sleeping,

technically correct in all of her errors,

the Church in silent adoration lies sleeping,

She knows better than to love,

For fear of the one who loves her best.

Able to find fault, confused by the hearts of the innocent,

the Church in silent adoration lies sleeping,

unaware that she has again lost her one true love,

and turned his wounds back to the attributions of the risen self.

Oh Jesus, the blood of your wounds drip life and love into my heart, but I can't wake them up. They want to hate, and call it love; they wield your words of love like bold lettered battle axes in the war of doctrines. Jesus save us, wake us again from our slumber, and teach us again how to love; teach us how to experience your wounds and accept your sacrifice so we don't have to sacrifice our brothers and sisters in our righteousness by better-than-ness, and our righteousness by technical correctness. Amen.

Yes, that is true. There is much that's clearly truth and then there also seems to be a lot of debatable matters that I can make decisions for myself and myself only.

    • 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!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • 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.
