Right away I would say that in embracing atheism atheists are not acting intelligently.


Why? Because what are the advantages to an atheist in embracing atheism?

...I haven't came across anything to discredit christianity, and I'm convinced any HONEST skeptic that tries to disprove christianity will end up becoming a believer.

...

Really can any of you point out any flaws in the teachings or life of Jesus? I can with just about ANY other religion or religion's founder. At one point I tried to dismiss Jesus the same way, but it just can't be done.

...

Virtually any OT criticism you come across is something taken out of context, or just flat out distorted. The only one I've ever came across that holds any water are the passages telling them to wipe out their enemies even the women & children. And to be honest those do bother me. But you know if God exists he gave those people life in the first place. He has the right & the power to take it back.

Quote# 44399

I have a Catholic aunt who sat in on a Muslim funeral prayer over the weekend, and she was totally taken by the Islamic sheik. She went on and on to me about how peaceful and worldly and accepting he was.

Her words to me in an email were:


"It opened my eyes to the reality that we ARE all children of God, we ALL want to be good and forgiving people, and that we CAN accept others.

That's the point of the religious counsel - or whatever it is the Sheik mentioned he was on. It's leaders of all different faiths getting together to try to do what God wants from us - faithful, forgiving stewards. I figure if the leaders of the churches can get along and not feel like they are betraying their faith or blaspheming, then I can do it too."


I couldn't believe it. I replied back:

Back in school or at church, did you learn about Biblical Prophecy? The Bible specifically says in several different verses that towards the end times, many religious leaders and followers will merge and unite in the name of peace. This is how the One World Order and One World Religion comes about. It's also how the Anti-Christ comes about -- he proclaims (at first) to want to bring unity and peace to the world... and he has many, many followers. The Bible warns us against this, and tells us in many ways to follow Christ and do not let our hearts and spirits be deceived by those claiming unity or peace among religions.

I'm not saying we can't love or forgive or help non-Christians. But in no way should we condone, accept or open our arms to other religions. It's a very slippery slope. If you aren't converging and getting along with them as an ambassador of Christ, then it's a road you don't want to be on -- one can easily get lost.

Jesus also said: "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" (Luke 6:44)

Meaning priests and teachers will come along, seeming to be peaceful and accepting. But their words do not come from God, the Father of Christ. So we should not learn from them or seek spiritual guidance from them.

There is nothing wrong with having compassion for others or loving one another. But when religions converge to accept each other in the name of unity and peace, it just sends chills down my spine. Especially when Muslims and Christians want to come together to find common ground. Sure, we should treat each other with respect and kindness and love. But that doesn't mean we should just accept that they are of a different faith and believe that they'll go to heaven by their own way. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't make an effort to convince them of the truths found in Christianity. True Christians know and believe in the truth -- that Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven, and it is our duty to witness to others and help bring them to Christ.



It did no good whatsoever. She was one of the strongest Christians in my family (who are predominately Muslim). Her reply to that?


"I just want to say -- all religions have their extremists. So it is best left alone at this point."

Basically, she shut me up and called me an extremist. I was flabbergasted. I have to hand it to the Evil One... he's really found a good tactic with this. Almost as good as convincing Eve to eat the apple from the tree.

[number 4 post to a story about the phelps's garage burning down]


Don't concern yourself about the fire at our church. (Our well being is not in your hands.) Concern yourself with the fire coming out of God's nostrils, in his fury toward this rebellious sinful proud nation. And be concerned about the fires of hell that are kindled for eternity by God's breath. See 2 Sam 22:9 and Isa. 30:33.

Thanks for all the input. I'm dealing with a person who is bent on destroying me. The longer time goes on, the worse it gets. And the timing of phone calls and other things he does, well, there is no way that he could know when to do these things (perfect timing repeatedly) except with some kind of demonic influence. He basically wont step foot in a church (I know that really doesn't mean much). The attacks have gradually gotten worse over 10 years.

I understand spiritual warfare exists, etc. and the Lord finally showed me that this may need to be dealt with on a spiritual level in His power. Not mine of course. But I truly dont know what to do. I pray and pray alot. I pray for his salvation, I have others praying for his salvation.

But he seems intent on literally destroying me. When people dont let up over this long of a time, something is truly wrong.

So I am looking for understanding on how to figure out if he actually possessed. I know he is demonically guided (due to the timing of his activities) but possession may have occurred. I hope I"m making sense and that you guys will believe I"m not exaggerating.

Personally I have witnessed this, I work in a drug and alcohol recovery hospital and I have patients who have voices that tell them to do drugs, I have been told there is a satanic worship being done in Mexico over the Heroin that enters are borders, and have seen the results of the evil that entered these people. I have even had conversations with people that can not have a conversation about God, instead they curse God. When that happens I know what I am dealing with. Their minds drive them to suicide, or at least try I have witnessed that as well. One way for sure of knowing is bring up Jesus and how to be saved, youll find an irrational resistance. Hope this helped

UM if most animals live 10 - 20 years, 150 tops and evolution takes millions of years then HOW can it be possible for anything to evolve?

Evolutionists are so stupid. If evolution was possible then wed see changes in normal animals in pretty much every generation.

Quote# 44461

In the last two months it happened that I have been argued with twice about the legality of masturbation. This seems to be an upcoming discussion in Germany. Arguments against fighting masturbation have been outspoken by a Christian youth leader (!) and a Christian newspaper including an article offering that kind of opinion. I don't know how this is in the US, but this movement seems to be getting agressive against people like us who fight masturbation and tell others that action is sin. They want to prevent us from doing harm to those who "live masturbation in peace without any bad consciusness". That's as far as I understand their position.

I would like each one of you to consider this topic and to ask God in prayer for understanding and truth. If those pro-masturbation fighters are right, all of our energy on fighting masturbation has been wasted.
But it shouldn't be a motive to defend a postition just because of us holding it. We should look for truth. Turning towards the base is the only real way to find out about this truth.

Quote# 44395

I think it is just so incredibly sad that these women hate being female. They are seeking validation and respect by going after roles intended for men, so sad. It is not like scripture is wishy washy on this, it is not rocket science. They preach womens liberation but look down their nose at the roles only females can fill effectively while coveting the roles God gave the males. And then they have the audacity to turn and ask/preach about why our men are not leading their families or even attending church, where our men are going? We have made the role of men replaceable and shake our heads at the lack of fathers bothering with the church. Men are wired to be leaders and these women are telling them that they are not really needed, are replaceable, can stick around to do the work that we women once handled so smoothly. What poor examples for our sons. What poor role models for our girls

It has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with mirroring our relationship with Christ.

I can't believe you guys are discussing this, right now, today!! Yesterday and today, I was sitting in my usual spot on my "lounger" in my family room, when all of a sudden, I started just clapping my hands together, very quickly, while at the same time just kicking my feet up and down on the ottoman, smiling from ear to ear, saying, "Oh Jesus, I'm so excited, I know your coming soon!" I kept laughing and clapping, and repeating these type of statements over and over, like a little kid on Christmas morning! I was just "tickled" and "giggly" and I couldn't stop smiling. Now, if someone walked into my house, they would have surely thought I was crazier than they thought! I feel it and I too have the butterfly feeling in my stomach. Wow!! We all have the same feelings, allthewhile my non-believer friends are feeling nothing. They cannot see what is going on, nor do they want to know what's going on. I love these people and we are so much alike but they just don't see it. Here on RR, we are such brother and sisters in Christ and are all connected and it is so wonderful to know just how excited everyone else is too!!!!!

Quote# 44402

The last few days, I have had such a feeling in my heart and butterflies in my stomach. I have never felt this sort of electricity in the air. It is almost like waiting for Christmas morning when I was little. I want to be with the Savior so bad. I have been ill for several years with many health issues. I have to admit that even through I was saved as an 8yrold child and tried to stay close to the Lord, the last 5yrs or so after praying for healing and continuing to get worse, I had almost lost all my faith and started believing maybe I had been fooled all this time. Those thought really got me worried I never was a Christian in the first place if I could doubt things, but I have come to realize that I was in a way that I was sort of feeling betrayed or even angry with God for being silent in my life for so long. I have recently rededicated my life to my Lord Jesus and realized that I don't have to really understand and that I know that He loves me regardless and has some sort of purpose for it all. I used to think that when I got to heaven I was going to be sure to ask the Lord why He let me stay so ill for so long, but anymore, I know I won't need to and really don't even want to. I'm sure He will make it clear to me then anyway. But all I want to do is finally see the face of the One that gave His life for me. Just to be able to tell him face to face how much I love Him and tell Him thank you and just once to feel His arms around me....that will make all that I have ever gone through disappear.
I was listening on you tube to videos of the shofar(rams horn)being blown at rosh hashana(I know I probably spelled that wrong)and it stirs my heart for some reason. Do you think the trump of God will sound like that or will it sound like an actual trumpet in a band?? Just curious on your thoughts of how it will be when the trumpet sounds and what Jesus will say at that time? Will we hear him actually call our names? Will we have anytime to run to a window or door to look out? Probably not since it will be in the blink of an eye. I just hoped I would have time to realize,"this is it!"I am so ready for a Glorified body also.

Eveoltion is a puppet of the Devil.
You don't have any prove expect for Darwin's drawing. That's all you guys have.
Former Eveoltionists when trying to prove Christianity wrong and they become a brother or a sister in Christ.

The Holy Bible
Mulisms also believes in Jesus but as a Prophet.
Christians believes in Jesus as the Son of God.

One thing that unchristians never do.
Just try Christianity from a Month.



Any way Christians don't hate Gays. We just don't like what the do.
God don't like us disobey out parents. Does that mean God hate us when we are disobey out parents?
(In very large font:)NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God loves every one.

Any way Thanks for trying to burying me with you silly and goofy thinking. I'll pray for your souls.

Also I'd pray Sting (the wrestler) to become a brother of Christ. When he was in the WCW. And later in the 90s Sting became a Christian.

Obamanation and Pelosi are pledged to act to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which means that, in a nation run by unobstructed pro-sodomy Democrats, the Marriage Protection Amendment you added to the Kansas Constitution by your votes could be discarded by any leftist, activist pro-sodomy federal judge – and there would be a lot more of those judges. Kansas sodomites could demand that their mockery of marriage legalized in Massachusetts be recognized by Kansas state and local governments, with nothing then to stop them.

After that, they would soon be demanding the shuttering of adoption agencies, churches, and religious organizations that refuse to recognize such perversion as acceptable or admissible.

Is this what you think Kansas should be like?
Possibly, the one man who could stand in the way of such a federal homosexual agenda is – don’t hold your nose – Maverick John McCain.

we were classified by scientists as mammals, that doesn't mean we're related to primates. How can anyone look at the way the creatures of nature manage to live their daily lives - thanks to the complex brain capable of all kinds of feelings and reactions, whether you're an animal or not...thanks to every working, living cell in living creatures' bodies that helps to fuel all the nerves, all the organs and keep them alive...and having something driving them that very well be may much more than just instinct - and say that it came from a primordial pool of dirt and evolved on its own without the influence of anything but the environment around it; without even considering the fact that these amazingly complex designs did indeed come from the very being that scientists refuse to believe in anymore.

Quote# 44392

The most amazing thing happened to me while at work this morning. I was cleaning around my desk, straightening up, when I heard a voice in my head - it sounded like my voice like I was talking to myself, but it wasn't my voice if that makes any sense. The voice called my name, really simply, not loud, just normal talk. I stopped and without even thinking about it, said, "Yes, Lord?" And The Voice said, "I love you."

After getting hold of myself, I asked, "Who am I Lord?" {like 'who am I that you should talk to me? I'm nobody'}. The Voice said, "You are Mine." Now, mind you, I adore my Bible and read it constantly, so that part of scripture is engraved on my heart and in my mind...

This truly happened to me today. For real. I was not expecting my Lord to speak to me in such a way, despite the fact that I constantly ask Him to show me His face and let me feel His presence, because I ALWAYS tell Him that. It was just another day at work until my Lord showed up. I'm not a drug addict or a drinker, I'm an average Joe putting in a day at work, so I wasn't hallucinating. I've never had any mental health problems.

Later tonight when I got home, satan actually put a picture in my mind of Jesus and His angels laughing at me for believing that Jesus would actually let me experience that. I'm rebuking satan though.

I posted this to ask if I'm right in believing that Yeshua/the Holy Spirit would "speak" to me today...am I crazy for believing this was my Lord?
