Mr. Graham was a simple man with a simple faith. But one cannot but see that he also had an anointing to reach people in that very basic way. It isn't in the words themselves but what was behind the words....that's where the real message lay. Some people were indeed touched by God.....weeping...

These kinds of sexual bents begin in the early development of what is to become our selves. Often it is triggered by an early contact with a person who has that bent or spirit. I know of a case where a male homosexual teenager was the babysitter of 2 young boys from different families. (they...

Only a blind person always steers the same way. A person who sees turns the wheel one way and then another way to follow the correct course. So to one person I appear to be too strict and to another too easy-going...depending on whom I'm speaking to. So from your rigid and dogmatic stance I...

I don't fit into a religious box. I'm alive in Christ. What denomination owns Christ? I belong to the Lord.

Just realize that the kingdom of God is exactly upside down from what people think. So then the ones who think they're safe....are not.

Is the cart before the horse or is it in the right order? Humanists help people too....by a human love or an ideal towards a human utopia. ...or just out of compassion and altruism. This is for the temporal good of others. But the church should be focused on eternal things...without neglecting...

If there earth is flat then there is no threat of global warming.

There is currently a spate of very public "resurrections" from the dead. Obviously fake....but fooling a surprising number of believers. There's that guy with the gold plated microphone. In the end all the fake stuff is centered on an outward sign....something the natural outward man can get a...

He has a good point I think. Jesus is not an idol or an object of fanaticism to be obsessed over. He is the means by which we do everything....who we see through and act through.

Here is a case for love: God's ways are far above our own. (And this includes we believers and unbelievers who are also human.) Now religion gets a hold of this statement and thinks....it is non-believers that are not like God but in fact I am like God. (since they see themselves practically...

Thank you for your kind words. You are as a ray of Son shine! :)

You are missing love entirely from your assessment of the board member here. We correct the people we know...who are open to that correction. Our relationship must go far beyond...corrector and correctee. That is what judges do. A cold judgment as you advocate. The truth IS love....and we are...

A religion isn't sinful until it imposes itself on others. That's when error becomes sin. You may decide to do this...but this makes what you are doing far worse. The bible says...judge not! It doesn't say...get the right beliefs or perish. And nowhere are we told to judge people based on their...

The problem with the world is not that we love people too much....but that we love so little. I am not here to judge a person by their opinions. People who put labels on others and judge them have failed the test of love. When Jesus accepted the prostitute...was He condoning her sins? Or was He...

All isms come from men. One ism will justify itself over another. But this is not the way of love. We don't judge people for errors in their beliefs....but if they love or not. God will NOT judge us on the accuracy of our beliefs or opinions. That is not to say that there is not truth. But even...

The condemnation of the religious posers in Jesus' day was that they had not the love of the Father in them. John 5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. Religion has no capacity for love. It argues over beliefs. It justifies itself by a set of beliefs. But this is the...

A person who knows God knows what kind of love God is. Even people who have never encountered God know that something is different about a person who loves. God will destroy they who both refuse to love and hurt those who do.

Worth re-posting. Thanks to you Mark! :)

Yes....my finger stayed too long on the key...thanks. People know the love that is selfless. It is not something one encounters very often. That's how people know there is something different about a person. That love is our best witness and ambassadorship of God who is Love.

We see the irony in that so many people declare themselves as being saved based on either a dogmatic religious acceptance of Jesus as a "personal" saviour.....thus self-justifying....or else based on an encounter with God at some time in the past. But the real proof is that we walk as Jesus...
