@MatthewG, your understanding of the storyline of Jesus' birth and his presentation to God in the Temple is sadly lacking. Joseph took Mary and Jesus down to Egypt, to be safe while Herod still lived and then Joseph return to the land of Canaan, but because Herod's son was now on the ruler...

Ah Robert, perhaps if you had also quoted the other 17 verses of this Psalm, then the context of the 18th verse would become relevant for us today.

I was at a wedding in a third world country and someone, from another culture to this third world country, said that the chefs had created all of the food that was laid out on the tables for the guests to eat. I reminded him that they had not created any of the foods, but had rather used what...

may the Lord continue to draw Mike and his family into His loving embrace for them all and that He will make known His purposes for Mike and his family to maybe move with him so that Mike can take up this new vocation in another city/place and that the whole family is in agreement with their...

Maybe true that you did not mean that things close to ones heart also included rebellion, but our rebellion is always ever near and the traveller always encourages us to rebel against God. I do see the sheep's fleece that you seem to want to display so as to hide underneath it. Know what I...

Rebellion is always close to ones heart, if this reality is understood and the truth is known. Our encouraging friend above is a tranducer on this forum..

Run for the hills, the mark of the advertisers is now upon us and unless you pay for the privilege of not seeing any adds at all, they will infect/disease your thoughts for ever. The end is near for this community.

Often, the first step is to repent of your own sins because you have not been fully dependant on God for all things. Iit seems to me that you want to act God like in your reaction to what the pro-lifers desire to have happen. The next step to to understand whose fight this is spiritually...

This is wise counsel. In the body of Christ, there are many people with very different gifts for the occasions when they are needed. Some are back room participants like chefs and dish washers who provide the means for others with other giftings to be the face for people to interact with or...

Yes and God's judgement of them allows Shawn and his faithful servants to call themselves martyrs for what they are and about to, suffer from God, because of their unbelief.

Perhaps if the so called "Christians" would humble themselves and repent of their sins the Lord God of Heaven will hear their cries and will forgive them of their sins and He will heal the land/country where they live. In 2 Chronicles 7:19-22 God warns Israel what would happen to them if they...

Please allow me to turn this problem on its head. Please bring it to the minds of the people in the church that they, at least a good majority of them, have, for a time, to travel to the place where the 25 Blind people live so that they can enjoy being a part of the church body and partake in...

This is what I think is the issue. The number 503 tells you that the Forum's host computer has not replied fast enough and as such the computer you own has given you this message and disconnected the internet link to protect the computer you are using from being "hacked." A refresh of the...

Perhaps the problem is in the computing power of the forum site. I get time out errors where the response from the site is outside of the limits for my computer. Often it will reconnect to the forum with a simple "F5" that refreshes the page. Whether the problem is the forum's code or with...

Ah pearl, you are a natural pearl formed out of adversity from a grain of irritation. The Lord formed you to be his treasure in this world with His Word. To be a light to those around you. Yes it is good to have someone who is your friend, someone you can share your heart's thoughts and...

^^^ Thread question heading. Would not the majority of so called "Christians" fit into the Misguided Category, even if they feel that they may belong to another more normalised category with many friends.

A verse to remember re Rahab: - Matthew 1:5-6: - 5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and Jesse begot David the king. Rehab, in Matthew is given a place of honour in the genealogy of Christ along with Ruth and Bathsheba. Oh well, how the scriptures are...

So be it MatthewG, have it your way. People will know you by your fruits.

A video that highlights some of the problems associated with the "teaching" that Matthew is suggesting that we read. form you own opinion as to whether or not you accept Matthews recommendation to read this particular author's book. Perhaps the author gave permission because the link given...

I feel sorry for you Matthew in that you actually do not believe what is recorded in the scriptures as to when Satan is judged in heaven in our near future, imprisoned for 1,000 years and then released for a little while period before he is dispatched into the Bottomless pit for good. Why then...
