But in certain respects, the crusades did use God's will as an excuse to kill, a lot. But, true, you cant let a group of radicals set the example of an entire religion. However, perception is reality. Same with Christians. This is why showing His love and leading a life that brings glory to Him...

I am a very traditional Christian, meaning I prefer a traditional church service as opposed to a praise and worship type venue. However, I can see the benefit of the praise and worship type services. But my conflict with this lies in the fact that there should not need to be a bunch of pomp and...

Romans 1:16New International Version (NIV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Well, I am single, but I made the best of it. I have 3 daughters so I used that day to make them feel special. I hand delivered flowers to each of them at school! :) Other than that, it's just another day on the calendar.

The Story of St. Valentine The Roman Emperor Claudius II was fighting many wars. He wanted a strong army, but many men did not want to be soldiers. Claudius thought the men wanted to stay home to be with their wives and children instead of leaving to fight wars. Claudius thought of an awful...

See, this is where it would have served me well to look up the whole passage. :) My apologies, ATP.

I think the answer to that lies in defining "Spirits" in this instance. I would think the spirits in hell may not necessarily be the dead but the evil spirits of Satan.

"UH means you don't pay anywhere NEAR what your healthcare actually costs. You pay a fraction of the cost. As far as the bum is concerned, you apparently have never read the story of the Samaritan in Luke 10?" The person in that story was at least grateful. And I doubt they had 6 kids, all by...

RJ, Your comment at the end is absolutely true, at least I agree with it. :) It is through my own experiences that I know He is there.

I thought about it for a moment and the conclusion I came to was that we see the Lords works, His kindness, and His love and we are then drawn to repent. Why? because we realize, once we have come to know Him, how deep and powerful His love is and we have a sense of remorse for what we have been...

May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Angelina, that is exactly what I was fearing. It sounds to me like there is a demon involved. Newlife....Do as Angelina has suggested. And most importantly do not waiver in your faith!!! Do not doubt and stay strong!! Speak the name of Jesus. There is more power in the spoken name of Jesus then...

I will pray. But If I may ask, does she have any kind of condition that brings these fits of rage on? Or is this just at the mention of Christ? I fear for the situation.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard this one but it is worth another listen!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QR2KGmL50k

God Bless, Brother. I did the same and I came back stronger! God will carry you through this. Take care, friend. BA

I owe you an apology Phoneman777. I forgot who the OP was. To your point, it seems we agree on the "state of the soul" upon death. Thank you for posting this topic. I have enjoyed discussing it! God Bless!! BA

Okay. Then we agree on that. Thank you for validating that for me. :)

Phoneman777 I think you may have just further muddied the waters. :P See, I have become intrigued by this topic now. With your post, I feel it has drifted off from what ATP is asking. Simply because he wants to know what "sleep" means in the Bible. I read your post to say he is being lied to...

I went back and read all of Thess 4. If I were to have read that with out ever reading any other scripture on "sleep" I would guess that "sleep" in this instance was a translation for death. Read it this way, "For we believe that Jesus died and rose again. and so we believe that God will bring...
