Looks like some people have more time on their hands than they know what to do with. Wonder if they used any of my posts? I'll be upset if they didn't. Maybe something they read will actually sink in.

From all the research I've done (and lost due to many computer melt-downs ) I've come to understand that the Ecumenical Movement is yet another tool of Satan to bring about the One World Religion under the authority of the False Prophet of the book of Revelation.

Don't let it get you mad. It shows that there are devout christians on the net who are making a difference. The devil is mad. If the devil is mad, then we've have made a difference. So far there has been 29 submissions from Bibleforums. So we know the Lord is doing a work at Bibleforums.

Oh I think they are cute. I mean, let's be honest here. Whenever we are debating on here about anything at all, we do it for ourselves alone. Ah, wait a minute... I said debate - not witnessing or any such worthwhile endeavor.

Now, with that in mind, it seems a trivial matter what we do here when we debate a matter, but how less so is there any significance to what they do when they cut and paste something we've said and use that as ammunition to fire off their little quips?

So in summary then, if they consider us anything at all in a negative light, how much more so are they!

Now what I am thinking is it would be good fun to see them find this post, copy it to their site and try to defend their position against my claim. That ought to be very interesting indeed. But not likely they will touch this one. On the other hand, if they read this and consider it a challenge, then they just might, but then wouldn't that be me manipulating them in a fashion! A bit of a quandry this puts them in I should think.

[smilie]

I'm good with that. I suppose I even consider it good sport in a fashion - that is for me anyway.

Sociobiology, as applied to humans, is glorified haruspicy, as far as I am concerned.

[For the record, Wikipedia defines "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruspicy" target="_blank">haruspicy</a>" as form of divination practiced by inspecting the entrails of sacrificed animals, especially the livers of sacrificed sheep.]

Just because people are praying in the room doesn't mean that the government is forcing Christianity on anyone. If those same individuals do not want Satan in the room with them, they should have that right. Common sense should prevail, but alas there is no common sense left.

This will break my daughter's heart. She lives in Florida and wants to be a marine biologist. I'm glad our Lord promises to restore the earth in His Kingdom. I hope that sea animals will be there though the oceans won't remain. I can't imagine God wasting such beautiful creatures. That's not like Him.

...if evolution is true then how did all these different religions flourish? how did they find noahs ark on Mt. Arack? and the ark was the exsact leangths as it was in the bible and made out of the same wood, how strange that is if God never even existed, wow i wonder how Moses could have predicted that a boat with all those measerments could have came to rest on Mt. Arack...if evolution is true then why did they find Jesus's robes in his tomb? If u know about these things as i do then u would know that there is know way that all thses things could have happen if God doesnt exist. dang u sure hit ur head on that one didnt u? how do u guys come up with these nonsence topics that even a 15 year old Christian can prove to be wrong? i hope in the future maybe u numb skulls can come up with a more debatable topic. well see ya all later u evoltutionist peeps.

God places Himself into a "box". He describes in limited detail of who He is. One box He has place Himself in is Justice. He is a Just God and that Justice must be satisfied. He further narrows that box by saying that the only satisfaction is the Blood of His own Son as payment for sin and our total acceptance and reliance on that and that alone for salvation. He cannot and will not change this. If He did He would cease to be God and all life would be consumed.

I am becoming increasingly worried over the affairs of the world.
With all the threats from the Muslims, I hear they have 9 cities targeted for nuclear attacks. I'm just worried about all of it.
I've started copying articles off that I find here on RR and taking them to work to leave lying around for my co-workers to read.
I know they think I'm crazy.
It is really starting to get to me. I may have to back off of this for awhile, but I feel that I shouldn't....I need to know what's going on, and I need to tell my co-workers what I hear and learn about it.
But it can get so depressing and play with your mind.

Atheists Spread AIDS [...]

(2) Most people who have HIV (and therefore get AIDS) are homosexuals.

(3) Most homosexuals are atheists (whether "weak atheists," otherwise known as "agnostics:" who say they don't believe in God, or "strong atheists" who assert that there is no God; which is a silly distinction to spend a long time fussing over, as they often do).

(4) Therefore, the largest category of people who have HIV (and are therefore spreading it, since you can't spread it unless you first have it) are atheists.

(5) The second largest body of people who spread HIV are needle-sharing drug addicts.

(6) Most needle-sharing drug addicts are atheists.

(7) Therefore, the second largest group of people (other than homosexuals, although many homosexuals are needle-sharing drug addicts too) is also mostly made up of atheists. [...]

(11) Almost everyone who has AIDS is an atheist.

Um...we live in 2005 AD. 2005 years ago Jesus was born. Our whole calander is based on him?

Also, Jesus had a lot of enemies that were still alive when the gospels were written. As likely as it is that those who were actively trying to eradicate Christianity could have simply written a rebuttal to the writings of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, no such rebuttal writings exist. This seems to suggest that the gospel accounts were considered to be factual. The onus seems to be not on me to produce more documentation of his existance, but on you to prove he didn't.

[Admin disclaimer: Dee, from RR, informs me this post is taken out of context, because it uses comments from another one of her posts (apparently, there was a quoting error). However, I cannot see where this is - Dee has been helpful and tried to point it out to me, but I feel dense for not being able to see it. I am taking Dee's word for granted, but I'm also reluctant to remove the post altogether or lose the comments, so I am making a compromise by including this disclaimer :)]

I have really been pondering this over the last few months. As I understand it, the rapture happens, then tribulation, then the final battle where Jesus descends to earth for the third time, to destroy evil. I was wondering where this battle happens, and if we get to fight alongside Jesus. I have this image in my head of me getting raptured and when I step into heaven Jesus asking me (and everyone else who steps into heaven) if I would like to fight alongside him, because if there ever was (or will) be a just war, this is it. I would consider it and honour to fight in that battle. Does it say anything in the bible about this?

If we do get to fight how will it work, will we become mortal for the battle, then if we die, are resuerected after it is over? because it wouldn't be much of a fight if we were all imortal. We could then bring a La-Z-Boy and a snack and maybe a good book and just relax and kill the enemy as they come near and not have to worry about being killed.

['I am not in favour of burning books, irrespective of their content and in this I hold the view expressed by Heinrich Heine in the early 1800s.

We don't have to burn the books or the people who mock, hate and deny Christ with their philosophical rhetoric. God will in due time. And we will praise Him for it on the Day He wipes the tears from our eyes..

This isn't a debate!!! This is a deliberate assault on our Heavenly Father!!

I don't believe in evolution. There are basically 3 kinds of created beings: biological life forms created by God (Terrestrial or extraterrestrial), angelic beings that are spiritual but can take physical form (Both good & bad guys), and genetically engineered or hybrid life forms. I believe the grays are probably a combination of fallen angel and genetic engineering done by those who followed Lucifer. The evololtion angle they try to pass off on us is just another part of their deception

Pat, even IF evolution could be proven absolutely, it would not change my faith in God. I didn't trust Jesus because I believed in creation as taught in Genesis. The night I trusted Christ, Genesis didn't even enter my mind at all!

Can one person observe "evolution"?

I can make assumptions about Nature and how it works, But i cant live long enough to observe "evolution" So....What Darwins Saw was Some animals that were like other animals but adapted to their enviroment....Is that evolution....nah I dont think so...I think thats God being smart enough to make life adaptible. Darwin NEVER saw a Dinosaur turn into a Swallow....nor any other lifefoem change into a new species....

Look how we as a species can adapt to almost any enviroment in just a few generations...Thats not evolution....the American Indians didnt become a new type of human....They just adapted.....Adaptation I beleave in....Evolution is as real as Trolls, Hobbits and Elves....

The whole present human race is being "victimized" by being labeled Homo sapiens by neo-Darwinst race theorists, especially when some of their human ancestors are labeled a different and separate 'species' entirely.

While it's true that the Mall itself is not salvation threatening, they certainly have some pretty bad stuff in some of the stores.....Even some of the advertising can be disturbing. Take for instance, at Gadzooks, they were changing "styles" and they had a poster up in the window that said "Who needs men?" It had a tube of lipstick with the lipstick extended and two round make-up pads on either side of the lipstick. Now, think about that for a second...I don't have to have a dirty mind to figure out what that stands for. I think that is wrong and it was right out there in mall and we are just supposed to walk by it and be ok with it. I'm not...and I complained.

Maybe its not such a bad idea, during the tribulation maybe it would be hard to find a bible since the AC will have free reign. Any tribulation saint who knows this might be able to dig it out if they need it.

Wrong not all sex carries a risk. Sex between a Married man and a Married woman who remain faithful to each other carries no risk.

People need to see the brutality of abortion. What really needs to be done is for someone to dumpster dive for aborted fetuses, if they weren't incinerated (obviously), and string up as many as you can in little nooses outside an abortion clinic. This would be done at night. Make sure you get 'em high up so you need a ladder to get them down. You could even stretch razor wire around the area to make it hard for anyone to clean it up without some serious effort. A couple gallons of fake blood all over the ground and on the building would be added for even more effect. Then be sure to tip off the news so they get there before anyone else. This would really get the point across...
