I heard an avowed Socialist the other day criticize Christians because they had a problem with the government increasing their taxes in order to have more money with which "to take care of the poor." Abuses, questionable programs and political favors aside, he missed the concept altogether...

There is a book called "The Criminalization of Christianity" by Janet L. Folger that details the efforts already made to criminalize Christianity in America and Canada. Make no mistake about it, eventually - if you truly walk the Christian walk - you WILL face persecution in America.

I never said sin mean they were not called. Rom. 3:23 states "ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." If God was going to call only those without sin, there would have been no one for him to call. My post was for those who want to stand in judgement of preachers and...

-- I am going to pretend this comment actually merits a response. Poop isn't put IN the body. It is the residue that is expelled from the body after someone eats the food they need to survive. A necessary event even Jesus was subject to. Wrap your head around that one.

The area was called Palestine over the last 100 years or so, but there was not a nation called 'Palestine.'

-- Care to share which specific scripture(s) in the KJV that applies to?

-- There are scores imprisoned in China right now who would beg to differ...

Does sin in their lives mean they were not called by God? David got Uriah's wife pregnant and had him put at the front lines so he would be killed. Yet he was a mighty man of God who was blessed both before and after that period of time in his life.

My understanding is that it has been shown to be a fraud.

Rach, I suggest you check Amazon.com or Google for a book called "Fasting" by a pastor named Jentezen Franklin. I came across it not long after the pastor at my church spoke on the multiple ways a person can fast. That book changed my life. I highly recommend it.

-- so if war doesn't come by August, will you acknowledge that you were wrong or simply 'revise' your statement?

-- You provide nothing to support this wariness. Care to elaborate? Israel's rebirth was prophesied and I have seen nothing warning of a 'false modern states of Israel.' This Israel has been miraculously delivered from attacks that it should have been devastated in and is today a strong...

Is your body a temple for the Holy Spirit or is it not? That is what it comes down to.

-- Absolutely true. We are not the ones to judge -- Jesus is. Jesus said to do these things in secret and that those who do it in public to be noticed "have already received their reward in full." That goes for praying, giving, or fasting. If you are not helping the poor or needy because of...

'Interesting' post. Now would like to actually address the specifics of what I posted? You know...scripture.

^^^^^

So again, you didn't really mean it when you said, "I do not have the time or interest to fight the rapture arguement with people any more. If they want to believe the rapture lie, so be it." Thanks for clearing that up.

I have never liked when someone's idea of a new thread is to throw out a random thought or opinion and then say, "Discuss" so I am giving additional input. I was part of a discussion recently about what Christians are expected to do by God. It seems that many feel that once they are saved, they...

Was just thinking the same thing. Would that apply to someone who says they aren't going to do something and then goes ahead and does it anyway? Just askin' Have a great day.
