Trust no one -- not unbelievers or those who even appear to be strong Christians. You never know.

[Can't myspace, movies, grocery stores that sell alcohol, etc all be important too? (Responding to the 'evils of the internet')]

Grocery stores are necessary. If there were a grocery store that did not sell alcohol, we'd use it.

There is absolutely no need for someone to go to myspace and there is no need for someone to go into a movie theater.

Many scientists have never studied biology and do not understand evolutionary claims. Evolutionary convictions are often based on educational indoctrination, not independent thought.

You know, I am really getting sick of those who are queer (as in strange, different, perverse, etc.) and in the minority stealing various symbols and words and perverting their meaning and use for their sick purpose.

All the offence things is very well, but make sure people ARE actually offended, because where i come from, then rainbows are cheerful. In fact my favorite skirt is rainbow - and i HOPE it causes no offence, but then everything will cause some offence, and as Jesus said, we will be persecuted so the world will tell us it is offended by us.

Anyone who really knows you will know that you arent sympathising with homosexuals, and they are who really matter most. And God knows too.

Besides, gays have no right to use God's rainbow as their 'symbol'

Hope this made some kinda sense...

Emma

Yes amen. It'll cause ya pain, and you'll want to repent when you do those things.
I used to listen to country and even some of that Gaither mess (sorry but when I found out ole Gloria was a penny-cost-al preacher girl that did it for me) and tankfully when I got saved God tore me up over that. Chunked all them cd's and tapes...burnt em...stomped em...GLORY I feel like shouting all over again!
Sad thing is, if it's one of those old songs I knew before I was saved that I hear in the grocery store...I'll start humming. I hate that I didn't use my voice for God's glory then. I'll spend the rest of my time singing only the songs that HE should hear.
I got a cure for the "singing old worldy songs" problem though. Just burst into a verse of "Nothing But the Blood" or something like that....hehe it also clears the lines at the checkout too!

God calls MEN to His service. The lady is called by God to be his wife. Her calling is to follow him wherever the Lord leads him.

Any girl who says she is called as a missionary....to a specific contry.....definintely limits herself to husband possiblilities.

Personally, I do not believe a woman should go to the mission field unmarried. The whole work of a missionary is to preach the gospel and she cannot do that.

Remember New Orleans and their scheduled city-wide Sodomite-pride festival? Remember how it ended? That city of debauchery is still trying to clean up from Katrina

["I have trouble supporting people who have girly-man hair styles." "What is a "girly-man" hairstyle?"]

A "girly-man" hairstyle is a guy with long hair, which the Bible says is wrong.

All of the rock, etc., has the basic drum beat that is used by the Satan-worshipping tribes of Africa. If you were to study it out you would realize it. Did you know that "rock and roll" got its beginnings from the black African culture? THAT is how the beat was introduced into our current ungodly music - "Christian" rock included.

When Moses and Aaron were on Mt. Sinaii they heard what sounded like war in the camp. Turned out it was "music" - a "music" that typified idol worship - something that was totally against the music they knew as godly. When they came down and saw what was going on they were appalled to see the people dancing sensually in all manner of undress. Where did the people learn of this music? In Egypt when they were in captivity! Hmmm....and where exactly is Egypt?? Wonder of wonders - Africa.

(Just for those of you who will try to condemn me for being racist.........some of my best friends have been black. I have nothing against them. Unfortunately the majority of their race has made a bad name for the ones who take care of their families and work hard.)

[ When told about the negitives of fire and brimstone preaching ]

I cannot disagree more wholeheartedly. I am saved today because a firebrand of a preacher preached that an unsaved sinners end is Hell.

Let me say that again: I am SAVED because a preacher preached HELL. Millions of others are saved because they realized their end was a certain hell.

Moreover, Jesus preached repentance and He preached HELL. The modern movements (filled with people who are no more saved than my television) want to feel good, so they are passing about this idea that we should not preach hell, we should not tell people they are sinners and we should not offend. This is a lie coming straight from the Devil himself. We absolutely must preach the WHOLE COUNSEL of the Word of God. That includes preaching about sin, about the sinners need for repentance and about the end of the unrepentant sinner: Hell.

In Jesus' own words:
"...Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."

The word hell is used 23 times in the New Testament and 54 times in the entire Bible. The unrepentant sinner needs to know there is a consequence for his actions

[Regarding a new law in Iran to give the death penalty to pornographers]

It's funny how much higher standards Muslim countries have about certain things. Like porn, modesty, and homosexuality. I heard from a missionary in Afghanistan that the villagers were appalled by the rebellion the Americans produced in the youth when one of their young boys wore a baseball cap backwards.

[Discussing trhe KJV]
[br]
In short, life would be much better if the people of God would stop their spiritual whoredom with the world. The first step of repentance would be the rejection of the impure modern versions.

["Yeah, but there is no leaven in (Shine Jesus Shine and Open Our Eyes Lord)"- OpenOurEyesLord.]

While the songs may be doctrinally sound, and maybe even musically sound, they are guilty by association...in my opinion. These songs are used as bait songs by cxm artists to lure you in. This is a proven technique. Artists release a single, and people like the song and go buy the cd, expecting the rest of the cd to be similar.

There is enough good, solid, Christian music that can be sung/ listened to, why walk the line? Why possibly give the devil a foot in the door? The overwhelming majority of singers/groups that sing these songs are in the cxm genera, and if these songs are sung in church, it may be a stumbling block to younger/weaker members. They may like the songs and go out and try to find it for themselves, thinking that it along with the other songs on the cd must be okay because they heard that song at church.

Yes I think that Galations 5:9 does apply here.

no...jazz is not mentioned in the Bible.

But fellowshipping with darkness is...

I do not like illusions or tricks or whatever you call them because they fall into one of two categories:

1) You are either doing something miraculous, and it is not to honor God.
2) You are telling the lie that you are doing something miraculous.

In either case, it is wrong.

With these guys, I actually believe they may have some demonic help. I cannot explain it, but as soon as I saw the first moment of the first commercial for one of them, my Spirit was grieved. Immediately, I knew this was not Godly.

I believe that a girl should not leave home at 17 or 18. A girl should be under her father's authority and household until she is married. In the wedding ceremony, there is a reason that the father gives the bride away. He is giving her to her future husband.

Ya'll... this has been on my heart and mind lately... My dad taught the Soulwinning devotional saturday... and he asked us, "why go soulwinning" then he gave us some reasons...
1. B/c its the descent thing to do
If you had the cure for cancer for 20 years, and u met people who's lost loved once b/c of cancer they would prolly think, "HOW INDESCENT" "y didn't u tell me that u had a cure"
Ya'll we have the cure for hell, we shouldn't keep it to ourselves..
2. B/c HEAVEN is For it
There is rejoicing in the presence of angels over ONE sinner that repents... I can see Jesus SHOUTING and REJOICING over a sinner excepting what he did on Calvary.. if for no other reason that b/c it makes my Saviour happy, then i am gonna go soulwinning..
3. B/c Hell begs us to...
wat profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his own soul....
I am reminded of the parable of the rich man.. who went to Hell.. an he was EVEN WILLING THAT A LEPER would give him water from the tip of his finger.... and knowing he would never be released from the torment of Hell THE ONLY REQUEST he had was that someone would go AND TELL his family about Christ...
Ya'll i can imagine there is a daddy in hell right now, that if he could ask us of one thing, he would beg us to warn his kids not to come to Where he is at..
I can imagine theres a wife in hell right now, that if she could ask us of one thing, she would beg us to go tell her husband not to come to a lake of flaming fire.
IF NO OTHER THING COMPELS YOU TO WARN OTHERS ABOUT HELL... The fact that HELL compels us to, should be A GOOD ENOUGH REASON... We have got to stop seeing men as tree's walking, but see them for what they truly are, someone with a never dying soul, who will either spend an eternity in heaven , or an eternity in hell. No they may not be u'r mom, dad, bro, sis, grandchild, son, daughter, or friend, BUT THEY ARE SOMEONE's mom, dad, bro, sis, grandchild, son, daughter they are someones friend...
WE MUST GET OUR MIND ON THE MAIN FOCUS.... we don't have to have a call, when we have a command, "GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL"
Romans 10:13-14
Just thought i'd share

While I was being witnessed to I was scared to death of Hell! That worked out ok because I got saved as a result. To me now it doesn't matter if I was "scared into it" or not... I'm just glad that I am saved and on my way to Heaven!

(The whole thread is just hilarious)

(Hey everyone, I have a question...Has anyone on here every heard of David Blaney and Chris Angel? They are people who I personally believe are demon possesed, they do "street magic". I have watched each of them on the t.v and will never watch it again...even though I have figured out how some of the "magic" is done, I still don't believe it is something for a Christian to watch. Most of what they do is humalny impossible, thats why I think they are possesed. What are your thoughts?)

[In response to a story about a law trying to mandate gender-neutral bathrooms in public school for transgendered students, among other things.]
Er - EWWW!! What about all those people who are perfectly FINE being their own gender and want to be modest. Infact 'want' isnt the right word. Even if i didnt want to be modest (perish the thought) then i would still be modest, because that is what God has commanded us to be. So gender-neutral bathrooms would be persecuting Christians.

[Talking about a plan to allow 'gender confused' children to use either a male or female restrooms]

This is absolutely sick, perverted and twisted. No, wait -- there is a Bible word for it: it is an abomination. Folks, God made a covenant with Noah to never destroy the world again by water, but He never made a covenant with Lot. He never promised not to destroy another city or state for their sin. I am not a prophet and I am not predicting anything, I am just pointing out the fact that God will judge in His time.

Remember New Orleans and their scheduled city-wide Sodomite-pride festival? Remember how it ended? That city of debauchery is still trying to clean up from Katrina.

Now I can say Bro Tony Hutson is a great man of God!!!!!! He's funny and he's serious about God's Word!! He yells louder and follows the people when they walk out on him while he is preaching!

Personally, I believe many of the trolls who come here are not atheists, as they claim, but really are sad little child-like people who know they are in rebellion to God and are miserable because of it. I believe you come to this site because there is something deep inside you that yearns to know the truth, yet you squelch that yearning and turn back to the world. Truly, I have pity for you. If the internet had been what it is today when I was a teen, I shudder to think what the devil would have done with me. I cringe at the thought of what I would have become

Actually, no one should drink alcohol for pleasure at all.

Someone recently posted (several times) that XTian rock is good and that it helps people find Christ. The idea that XTian rock is good is nothing more than a lie from Hell -- pure and simple.

[Topic: Is it okay for a men to wear necklaces?]

Since many dictionaries consider a necklace to be two things: (1) adornment about the neck and (2) worn typically by females, we can assume there is an effeminate connotation to wearing a necklace. While this may not always be true, the Bible takes such a strong stand against the effeminate, that we should, as a matter of practice, stay as far away from the confusion as possible. Therefore, MEN should not wear necklaces for the purpose of adornment.

[And if your siting the old testiment to say that they should be put to death then I suggest you become a Jew or read the new testiment.]

I missed that sentence... And i have one thing to add to Billy's statment (which I agree with 100%) The only time anything in the old testement ever should be voided is when there is another place in the Bible (later date of course) that directly changes what is taught. for example in the Old testement only the High Priest had accesse to God but when Jesus Died on the Cross the veil in the Temple ripped in two. it showed that Everyone had free access to God you didnt have to go through a preist any longer. but Sodomy, adultry, the death penalty, all those things were NEVER gotten rid of. anywhere in the Bible!

Just thought Id let you know ::big grin::

Thomas

I'm glad that your school does not allow sodomite couples to the prom or whatever it is you guys call it over there. But most schools here do, and they allow the kids to practise sodomy openly. We cannot refuse to rent houses to sodomite couples because that is discrimination, according to Australian law. I'm glad America is not that bad yet. But if you keep allowing all the rest and the tolerance of sodomy, it will for sure happen.

Just so you know, I am one of the people that thinks inter-racial marriage is wrong. I have friends that are in inter-racial marriages and I don't condemn them but I do think that its wrong.

[...Rape...Yadda yadda yadda]

The point here is that ladies are responsible for creating an atmosphere which causes men to sin.

Christ's Servant, you seem to be saying that we need to let the secular government let these people have their rights. But see, God never designed for there to be a secular government. THe government is supposed to be under the authority of God, and therefore what God says should go. And because God says that sodomy is wrong, the government should not allow it to happen

[At my school, a new girl has come. .. She visits a local homeless shelter, dresses modestly, hasn't ever had a boyfriend and wants to save herself for marriage, does her homework, and is really kind and considerate. She doesn't drink or do drugs, and doesn't like parties. The only problem is, she's atheist.]

Being an atheist, she has no real reason to stick with her moral beliefs, yet it seems as if she's doing a good job at it so far. With peer pressure and without God, it's very likely that she could fall into sin, but it's a lot less likely if you're there to be a good Christian influence in her life.

[committed4ever posts asking how to make friends with an atheist at her school. Yemenal responds, "Just be a friend to her. You can't MAKE her believe, any more than she can CHOOSE to believe. Faith isn't a choice."]

We've already discussed how you should not befriend someone who is an athiest. You, as a Christian, cannot be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever.

Now, on to the second issue. Having faith is most certainly a choice. You choose to believe the chair you are sitting in will hold you up. You choose to believe the bridge you drive under will not fall, and you choose whether you will trust Jesus or not. Really, it is easier to trust God than it is to trust the chair or the bridge. Things made by man will fail.

God will never fail!

(What is everyone's life verse? That special verse that touches your heart everythime you think about it? Mine is Isaiah 6:8 - Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, (Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. That verse is awesome, huh?)


I love it!!!
Mine is Phil 1:21; For me to live is Christ and to Die is gain!! I can't wait to die on th mission field!!!!!!!!!!!

We've already discussed how you should not befriend someone who is an athiest. You, as a Christian, cannot be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever.

I will also say that, as a guideline, even most 'G' rated moves are not acceptable for the Christian family. Certainly movies rated PG and higher are not.

(Also, without Catholicism where would be the Baptist religion?)

Well, let's see...
There'd be a few million fewer martyrs
The Bible would have been in the hands of the people much sooner
The population of hell would likely be much smaller
People's perception of Christianity would not be as warped.

[where are the 98% that believe in God??? hmmm... i think most of us only stop at Words!!! I mean, people who don't serve a real God Fly planes into a building and blow themselves up, b/c they have that much FAITH in their gods... Yet we serve the TRUE AND ONLY GOD an we jus sit down an shut up??? don't do nothin about it???]

If I may, I would like to point out this is probably one of the greatest things I've ever heard/read. On how it's amazing we can all claim to be faithful to a real God, but when it comes to action, most sit down and shut up. Not wanting to be embarrassed or ashamed. "Deny me before man, and I'll deny you before my Father." (That's the first time I've ever quoted anything like that here.)

But what's even more amazing, is that you're RIGHT. People who believe a false god can go so far as to DIE for it. While we let people say what they want about ours. See, cartoons can depict images of Jesus and God left and right while we do nothing about it, yet when Mohammed is shown, buildings get blown up.

[Several Louisiana high school students were sent home from their prom for wearing dresses that were too revealing.]

Bro. Randy: First, they should not have been going to prom anyway.

How bad could it be if they did not meet a public school dress code?!?!?!

Mrs. Debbie:One would think that if they had a school dress code for Prom that they would require the girls to try on their dresses for dress check BEFORE the Prom! That would alleviate what happened that night.

Of course, getting rid of Prom all together would definitely solve that problem! LOL

AprilMayJune:Amen!!! I absolutely hate prom season! That's all anyone talks about, and it is so boring. I personally find it a waste of time, money, and effort. The dresses they wear are so revealing sometimes it's almost like they are paying big dollars for someone to sew them a few scraps of sparkley cloth together. Sometimes in class I see girls flipping through prom magazines looking at dresses and the majority of them show off stuff. We have posters in (public) school that say "Prom do's and don'ts" The do's aren't that much different from the don'ts. And I don't see how they figure out how to get a dress that is "appropriate" because the do's and the don'ts are both extremely revealing. I say let's just do away with prom altogether.

Of course you are happy being a catholic now, because as a catholic you can do pretty much whatever you want and just confess it to the preist and everything is OK. However, you will "NOT" be happy being a catholic once you die and have never been saved. In fact, you will regret for all eternity that you were a catholic, because their religion will lead you straight to hell. I do not say that out of a mean spirit at all, I am simply stating the truth.

Ok so they were discussing this on another message board that I go on, and I got flamed pretty badly for saying stuff about Ham. First of all I was told that Ham wasn't cursed at all, it was Caanan, and second off I was told that I had been listening to a bunch of southern Americans that are racist and belong in the KKK. Now I don't want to offend anyone but what is the big deal? I have an understanding about some kind of war between the north and the south and whatever and that it had to do with black people but what in the world was it really about? I have been told that it is only people in the south who say Ham was cursed and stuff and whatever. Please help here first of all I think I see in the Bible that you are right and second of all I have an appaling lack of knowledge of American history!

when i see anybody touch that stuff[alcohol] " it make me wanta we'll it makes me wanta shove salvation in them pluss the K,J,V in them who's with me huh say who's with me { ok I'm gona start preachin in a minute lol!!!}

I believe that interracial marraiges are wrong and unBiblical, and Mrs Debbie and Abby have provided good evidence for that. It is clear in the Bible so human "logic" shouldn't come into it at all. The Bible says what it means and means what it says.

At any rate, when they are ready, our kids will study the marriage of sodomites: our kids will be familiar with the notion that two (or more) queers can not create a family, be married or effectively raise children. They will understand that God will judge the sodomite for their abomination. They will know that sodomites are trying to pervert the marriage, and by extension, the union of the church and Christ.

Should this be taught in schools? ABSOLUTELY NOT. It is a RELIGIOUS matter. By teaching this garbage, they are patently endorsing an 'anti-religion', they are teaching a doctrine in clear opposition to the Word of God.
