    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    Wow, surely that is pure evil--sounds like a fire and brimstone Preacher! You all are making way too big a thing of this. It's not blasphemous, not evil...it is a parable of our Father in heaven, shared by loving parents who have no intention of steering their children away from God. On the...

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    You described chaos. I was just saying (and included scripture) that God has got this--in other words, you don't need to have such a dismal outlook. And the you lost me. What was your point in this last comment?

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    Trick or Treat? Wrong holiday. No, I did not look at the link. I don't need to. I listened to you. And what is apparent, is that you are taking them serious, when you should not. You are giving a foothold to demons. Furthermore, you are blaming loving parents for sharing an imaginary tale with...

    Israel and prophecy

    Agreed. Still, even such a people fulfillment may not be all that is anticipated, since those to whom the promise was given are all dead, and their modern linage may or may not have the same appreciation as those who died before it came to fruition. When we consider the account of Moses and...

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    In such a case, it is good to hear that God has it all covered: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    I appreciate what you are saying, but I am indeed bias of my direct encounter with God. Given the choice of the Author or His Book, I choose the Author as number One, and His book as number two.

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    Thanks for the clarification...but NO, scripture is indeed the word of God. But He has made His own statements about it: That He confused it along with all language, that it is spirit, and must be spiritually discerned. Which makes it foolishness to the natural man and unbelievers, a...

    The Ones Who Are Left…

    You have touched on many things, but the issue is perspective. Looking at the words from the perspective of we who are in the world reading of it, we are naturally going to perceive the events on a timeline...because that is the world we live in, and it is all we know. However, the things that...

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    You seriously believe that people actually hate God because they blame an imaginary, jolly, gift-giving Father from above? It's just an excuse. You uncovered a lie alright--and that's it. There's your lie right there! Or are you just looking back at the darkness? Just here trolling? Do you not...

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    The drops are a preventative, to create an immunity so you never get it. (Can I say "immunity?" :eek:)

    Israel and prophecy

    If it did not come to pass, God would not show himself to be true. So, yes, the promises come to pass. However, a word of caution about promises fulfilled of prophecies of old: Just as one can quote the words of prophecy from the Psalms about Jesus, their fulfillment is not always in the same...

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    Try Poison Oak Drops.

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    My answer was, No.

    Israel and prophecy

    What Keraz is referring to, he should not be referring to as a replacement theology. Nonetheless, he is referring to something that is actually there, even if he doesn't know it. Those things that are not as he describes, come from God as the fulfillment of His promise to Abraham, that "all the...

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    Apparently you have not considered that a principle of truth told in parable, is not a lie, but truth. Again, "fraud" is not the correct word. It does not apply here.

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    Okay. But to expand upon that idea... Are you suggesting that every time we are under the weather we should pray and ask God what it is for? Every sniffle? Or just when we have the idea that it may be something more? The reason I ask, is that I always appeal to God for healing when...

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    Are we not first dead? And if dead, what is sickness but an episode coming or going? Is it a reminder of our condition, or a reminder of our being saved from it? God knows. The Spirit is good also for the physical body, but the body of flesh dies. Pray always, and thank God for the healing...

    What are you referring to here? The original post? Please explain.

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    Jesus' words are spirit, and he who has an ear is to hear what the Spirit says to the churches. I have heard, and given my testimony of the truth. You have also given yours. Amen.

    Is Santa Claus a fraud?

    I didn't say all that--you did, exaggerating your accusations. All I said, even giving examples, is that His strength is made perfect in weakness. The point is: None are perfect, except One, Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, you point out the speck (however big) in the Catholics eye, because I have...
