After she'd leant to communicate, someone asked deaf-blind girl Helen Keller "What is it like to be told about Jesus for the first time?", to which she answered "I always knew he was there."The moral?- If he's in your heart, you can find him with or without any written words..:)

Tell me, did Helen Keller violate copyright laws and alter scripture, too? Just wondering how much you two really have in common.

You better be absolutely sure I'm violating copyright laws mate, otherwise you're guilty of the sins of slander and false witness..;)As for me and Helen, we've both found Jesus so I'm glad to have that in common with her..:) PS- As for "altering scripture", the four gospels often differ from one another in various places, but the underlying SPIRIT remains the same regardless of which words are used, and that's all that counts..:)

"otherwise you're guilty of the sins of slander and false witness.." -- Mick -- You mean like you have already done on this BB several times today.Tsk tsk tsk. First plank THEN splinter. Unless Mel Gibson, his publisher, his lawer or the movie executives gave you explicit right to post those pictures on this BB, you are guilty of stealing. Hmmm...If only there were a list of commandments somewhere that dealt with that...

You seem to fancy yourself as a lawyer mate, so prove it..:)I can't understand why the pictures of Jesus helping an adulteress have upset you so much, and why you should want to hinder people from seeing them?"Woe unto you,lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered" (Luke 11:52)

"You seem to fancy yourself as a lawyer mate, so prove it.." -- Sure. Just as soon as you prove you had permission to steal....sorry....borrow those pictures. Anyone with a high school education knows that is theft. Ohhhh, I get it. You don't have... That MUST be it. Because if it isn't.......that means you willfully stole. Well that explains a lot. Never mind then. Just hope that the moderators of this BB don't recognize the fact that they can legally be held liable for having copyrighted material posted and hosted on their web site.

I would doubt very seriously if those that deny the gifts of the Spirit even know the gift giver. Those the deny God's word deny God Himself.

Praise God Ruth!!! Jesus said if you believe on him then you shall speak in new tongues. People need to stop trying to figure it out and walk by some faith. It's not that hard, really.I sing in tongues, and speak in tongues all the time. One time in a prayer Group I just started to sing in tongues, then to my surprise everyone (6) started to sing the same thing in tongues. They knew the words!!! Ruth, I am sure you have felt the power of the anointing, and it was very strong when we were singing, almost ..... well I don't want to use the word being scared but God's presence is something to experience.Jesus Is Lord.

BM, Are you saying you think you are a better Christian because you sing in an “unknown” tongue?

There is far too much abuse in certain circles that try to force this issue on those who do not have ears to hear. In my Father's House our many mansions or abode; everyone has a different abode.

Why?Does it give you some benefit over ordinary Christians?
Anything spiritual from my God is far from ordinary.If it is ordinary I know I am doing something totally wrong.I think any time God leads you into something deeper then you where you are now; there is benefit. I have seen some pretty shallow spirit filled people but God’s Word is deep and awesome and it sure has helped me in ways I will never forget. I will never forget that first experience when I was a young man in Vietnam; a spiritual experience I have never came anywhere near approaching; and I would not trade it for anything; it was that good.

gervais:
BM, Are you saying you think you are a better Christian because you sing in an “unknown” tongue?
gervais, I had the testimony of several witnesses that were present of a man who I knew and had been working with for a long time, strung out on Heroin, refusing to obey God with his life, Raise another man that Overdosed back to life right there in the Street next to a Ambulance with a sheet over his head. High on drugs, He ran over to the Ambulance and shouted "I command you to come back to life in the name of Jesus." What brought the man back to life? The power of the name of Jesus and that drugged out mans faith in that mighty name. God is just that good. God used a donkey to save Balaam, so where does that put us?? It certainly had nothing to do with my friends standing with God.Tongues is a GIFT!!! It's for anyone that believes in Jesus. Speaking in tounges does not make you special.I am going to disreguard your comment as I assume you have a lot more growth ahead of you.watchman:

Its not that they deny the gifts, No person that loves God does that. It's lack of knowledge, and wrong teaching. Most are told God is Mysterious and they hear God get blamed for the deaths of loved ones. (God gets blamed for everything, even by insurances companies) "God took (Murdered) that person" "God put me in the Hospital to teach me something." yak, yak, yak.............It takes some doing to get all that Satanic defeated Junk out of someone that has heard different all their life. God is not real to a lot of Christians. They have no idea if what they pray will even get answered. Benoni:

Preach it Brother!!! And one more...............MickinEngland:Hows it going M8?Jesus Is Lord.

Since you ask mate, I'm leaving this forum because too many people here are not on my wavelength and I want to find a forum where everybody's singing from the same song sheet.If you know of any, let me know..:)

Well you can make one of yourself but don’t include me. I very well know what the GIFT’S are, I also know what a “clanging cymbal” is and that your “tongues will cease.”

gervais: you came out and accused me of something without provocation. I addressed that.Tongues without love sound as a clanging symbol. There is no power if your breaking that love command. I suppose knowledge will cease also, but while on earth tongues and knowledge are needed, and you happen to be here with us.Be blessed.Jesus Is LordMickinEnglandNOBODY has the song your singing. You might as well stay around and put up with us.
