Butterfly - I was trying to stop the ungodly exchange on that thread and shut it down so I stopped posting on it. And I could not have remarked about your double standard then because you just applied a double standard here on this thread by admonishing Core Issue when you told my husband and...

This is a good Scripture - I had read it a long time ago but haven't read it lately. I strive to be holy as God tells us: "Be ye therefore holy as I am holy." So I think that God expects certain behavior from us. Of course we miss the mark but keep trying. I love the way you end your posts...

Yes but pointing the finger at someone's reponse to harassment and goading while not pointing at the origin of it is equally as wrong. We should not put the responsibility on the ones who step in to stop harassment and wrongdoing especially when it's ongoing and getting ugly. I did nothing...

I read this yesterday: What in the World has Happened to America? Earlier today, my attention was directed to a thread on an Internet discussion forum that lamented how much America had changed over the years. I don’t know exactly why, but the posts on that thread really touched me. Those of...

I too am disheartened at some of the anti-Christian behavior on here. The basic tenets of the faith are being disregarded. Yes I recall you saying that I was capable of defending myself - I believe you admonished Bobby Jo and my husband for coming to my defense when two people on here were...

I've been reading in various prophecy alerts and alternative news that we're on the precipice of a collapse. They have wasted billions in wars that we should never have been in. 32 million per hour since 2001. I read yesterday that the economic advisor to Bush is saying that something big is...

Yes I like sharing what I read. God just opened Revelations up to me several months ago and seeing it fulfilled is fascinating. We're not learning about Revelations in bible study so I like sharing it on here.

I'm glad you posted those Scriptures - I learn when someone uses them in context. I read yesterday that we've spent 32 million per hour on war since 2001 - it's unbelievable that we worked so hard and the money we paid in taxes went to useless wars: We Have Spent $32 Million Per Hour on War...

I didn't see where CI posted - I don't want to see Jane_Doe be made to feel uncomfortable because I've felt what she must be feeling. I think if they want to talk and CI wants to explain what he wants to share and Jane_Doe is willing to listen they should do it privately. Would that work for...

We go to a bible study and it's a good group. The pastor is rough around the edges but very sincere and he admits when he doesn't know something. His wife is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Another pastor goes there too and he's very humble, and very quiet - it's a good group of people...

It's a shame they're allowed on TV to mislead. It reminds me of the verse "the blind leading the blind."

Do any TV evangelists teach that? They were who misled me early on. I finally stopped listening to any for awhile and waited for God to show me what the truth was. I came from a Catholic background so I didn't know anything. Someone in our family line didn't pass on the faith because I...

There are a lot of churches that bear little resemblance to Christ. We went to a legalistic church that was bad - the people were pointing the finger at one another and very judgmental. We left and learned the pastor's wife killed herself. It was so sad but if I were her I wouldn't want to be...

What is the free will gospel - does someone teach it, such as a TV evangelist? I thought that I encountered every false teaching early on, but I somehow escaped that one.

That's a good point because we shouldn't think that we were saved because of our own "ingenuity, religious status and privilege, keen intellect" as you say. God hates pride in every form - even "religious pride." We saw it at work even in the disciples when they asked to sit next to Christ...

#6 Overdosing on drugs has now become the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50. #7 McDonalds feeds approximately 70 million people a day globally. Pornhub gets more than 78 million visits a day. #8 The teen birth rate in the United States is higher “than in any other...

I see that the lines are being drawn between God's people and HaSatans - it's unfolding before our eyes. The world is becoming more anti-Christian. We were talking about it in bible study - everyone thinks that the end times are upon us. I think that we may be able to change at least some...

I wonder why peer pressure and compromising with the world is so pronounced today though. Years ago it wasn't that way - or at least from my memory it wasn't. We're in an anything-goes society and pastors are being shaped to the mold of the world instead of the other way around. I saw that...

I've never heard of the 'free will gospel' but I can speculate on what it means. And you have a point because I was badly misled early on - I listened to the name-it-and-claim-it preachers, and the send-in-your-seed-faith-gift-for-a-blessing-today preachers and I still got Scripture within my...

Yes but why? Why are pastors compromising with the world? And so many of them. At times I flip on sermons on TV and within 5 minutes turn the set off - I can't stand hearing lies taught. It seems that many want to be wealthy or succumb to pride like Rick Warren. Are we supposed to hold our...
