    They are one and so will we be one with them: "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent...

    Give God the glory my friend! We are to please God rather than men... no matter what it is we believe about all of the particulars. I have never been a Sabbath keeper, at least not in the literal sense... "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every...

    Christians That Hate Israel.

    Not saying you are wrong, not at all, but consider also this which I put together a while back: Are there no more natural Levites? Are there no descendants of tribes other than Judah and Benjamin? "And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts...

    Is It Christian To celebrate Birthdays?

    @Mister Michael Many of the words we use as well as the holidays, as well as the calendar, as well as the names of the days of the week, have pagan roots. If we need to ban all of them or have to change them all we would have quite a task before us. But neither should we neglect to know the...

    This dear sister Helen is absolutely priceless. Give God the glory forever a man like that who was also your father!

    Does Evangelizing mean knocking on doors.

    Try this from Strong's: G2097 εὐαγγελίζω euaggelizō yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo From G2095 and G32; to announce good news (“evangelize”) especially the gospel: - declare, bring (declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the gospel). Total KJV occurrences: 55

    For I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. Psalms 51:3.

    His heart changed from what it was when he did whatever it was that caused him to be on that cross. Remember what he said to other fellow was railing on Jesus: "But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly...

    For I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. Psalms 51:3.

    Sorry I failed to see your response earlier. Hopefully one of those you located will meet your needs. I always hesitate to encourage a person to attend in a particular place, because I see clearly my own history. When I was a Catholic I grew and I believe that I was where God wanted me. When I...

    "We all be the same...tell me why, tell me why, we're divided...?"

    As we come to know Him, we will be given everything that is needed at the time it is needed. We will not know things just because we want to have an answer to satisfy our own curiosity or to win a debate on a forum like this one. There is a reason why God gives us an answer when He does...

    "We all be the same...tell me why, tell me why, we're divided...?"

    And who are those then who as you say know without any doubt? Daily must we come before Him not living on what has past, not even those things which have been good things, for today is the day. Still are there not those who come into delusion because they leaned on that which something which was...

    "We all be the same...tell me why, tell me why, we're divided...?"

    And perhaps this is all the answer for us. Who is able to understand it all?

    My pastor, age 93, received the baptism of the Holy Ghost in 1936 and has been serving God as a Christian ever since. I think that exceeds your 80 year suggestion already. He agrees with your point.

    Please pray with us/me

    Yes, I remember each of those, but Dwayne is the one I meant. I still have some of his posts buried away on my computer. Periodically I will save things to a Word processing program on my desktop computer. I have hundreds or perhaps even thousands of them, some my own, but those of many others...

    glad to hear that. I am reminded of a friend of mine who regularly visited various church groups in our little city. He went to one on a Wedneday night and it was a little slow. One of the members told to be sure to come back on Sunday because the Spirit was always moving strongly on Sunday in...

    Because the tenuous nature of some our connections with friends on the Internet, it might happen that a person will die and those who remain will in this life never really know what happened. The person simply posts normally one day and the next day they are gone, but we don't know why. What...

    "We all be the same...tell me why, tell me why, we're divided...?"

    And then will come the argument as it already has even here on this forum as to who is born of the Spirit and who is not; and of those who are born of the Spirit as to which ones are always following the lead of the Holy Spirit and which ones are too often quenching the Spirit.

    "We all be the same...tell me why, tell me why, we're divided...?"

    And herein is much of the problem as some feel they must decide for others what is essential and what is not. Again as I believe the scripture does also teach, the correct answer lies with what each of us does with what he has. God alone is a qualified judge Has He given anyone else the ability...

    If you think about it makes more sense that God would die for our sins not a son he created.

    I don't suggest that the design was defective as much as the men who had to work within it were defective. You seem to point a finger at corrupt politicians, but how many men in such positions of power would not be corrupt given opportunity? Some would not be and have even have tried to do it...

    If you think about it makes more sense that God would die for our sins not a son he created.

    While I do have opinions with regard to current events in this country, I spend little time looking into them except sometimes when it crosses my pathway like your did. I had to look up Christian Reconstructionist to even have a clue as to what you meant. I know that solving our nation's...

    Oh I am a truth seeker, but there too many in too many places effectively calling out: "... Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there;... Mark 13:21 Are you saying you are not one of those in spite of the end of the verse? "...believe him not:" You think maybe you have something that I have...
