Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
Scripture says "judge not that you be not judged, for as you judge, so will you be judged" We can judge the actions of others, but we had better not be guilty of those same offenses when we do. We judge every day. We judge our children & our spouses. We judge those we work with. we judge our drunken neighbors who sing carroki loud and off key till the wee hours of the morning!

Scripture says "judge not that you be not judged, for as you judge, so will you be judged" We can judge the actions of others, but we had better not be guilty of those same offenses when we do. We judge every day. We judge our children & our spouses. We judge those we work with. we judge our drunken neighbors who sing carroki loud and off key till the wee hours of the morning! Judgement can be as simple as an opinion about whether someone was right or wrong in a decision or whether they are competent in their position, or it can be used to unjustly do harm to another. We are accountable for false judgements, or having a superior atitude over someone else.
As for Mr Hinn, Benny Hinn is supposed to be a shepherd to God's flock. He is supposed to set a good example before the people. But what has he done? He has taken people's hard earned money for his own pleasure. He has lied to the people and told them he can and has healed them. He is vain and self centered. I well remember when he wore that comb over hair do! He read a letter on the air who's writer said he looked like Gumby (for those of you who don't remember Gumby, he was a claymation character with a flat head). He got irrate! He was angry, and rude to the writer. Not the behavior of a man of God, to be sure.
He is divorced, which does happen these days, but he is not free to pursue a new love relationship. Today, churches have accepted divorce and remarriage, but it is not acceptable according to the Word of God. Marriage is until death do you part, not until she burns the pot roast, or until he comes home late from a night with the boys, or he forgets her birthday, or she gets a dent in the new car. Benny Hinn is a new age, glory seeking, name it and claim it preacher who is leading thousands down the wrong pathway.less

Lessons learned hardest are learned best, just ask the Adventists, JW's and others who defy the Word of God by setting dates.less
And lest we not forget, many WOMEN die from abortion as well! These baby killers perf many a uterus, causing deadly infections, bleeding to death, etc. The percentage of women who die because of abortion is higher than those who rarely die in childbirth.
I cannot believe the remarks on this comments board! "I'm against abortion but i don't think it is murder????" Punishing women who have sex???? Women have birth control choices other that having an innocent baby ripped from their wombs! Women who are not married, or at least in a life relationship should not be having sex! That self control alone would close many abortuaries. Punish poor wom...more

Women have birth control choices other that having an innocent baby ripped from their wombs! Women who are not married, or at least in a life relationship should not be having sex! That self control alone would close many abortuaries. Punish poor women??? Good grief, now how DUMB is that remark?? Surely you know that Sanger pushed for abortion because she was a RACIST and desired to eleminate as many black babies as possible!! She was a huge fan of Hitler, too. The woman was satan's spawn. Abortion was not, is not, and never will be about "helping" women. It's all about MONEY. Are you people who are pro aborts, or "Christian" but dont' think it si murder even slightly aware of the procedure? The innocent child is first hacked apart with a scalpel in early abortions, without benefit of anesthesia, then suctioned out in a procedure called dialation and curetage. The child has developed it's nervous system in the first couple of weeks of gestation, and it feels every cut. In later abortions, it is burned to death with a strong salt solution. This child has full feelings, thoughts and fears. late term, the child id delivered all but the head, at which point the abortionist (read murderer) jabbs a pair of scissors through the base of the skull and suctions the brain out...all without anesthesia for the fully developed child, weighing anywere from 4/5 lbs to 7 or 8 lbs. These surgical scissors are blunt tipped, BTW, making it even more painful for the poor little baby. Women who have had abortions do not walk away unscathed. They suffer depression, attempted suicide, feelings of self hatred. they long the the child the will never hold, never see grow up. They remember the date the child would have been born on, reminice about what her son or daughter would be doing, what grade they would be in, who they would date or marry. it is a ligfetime of misery, all because they were told that little child was a burden, a lump of protoplasm, not a life. GOD is not amused, but satan sure is.less
EXCELLENT peseentation of the facts, Max!! Why do JW's claim Christ was impaled on a spike and not crucified on a cross as the Bible teaches? Why do they claim God destroyed His body in the tomb and created a new one?

Why do they claim God destroyed His body in the tomb and created a new one? It seems to me that if God couldln't manage to resurrect Jesus Christ, the rest of us don't stand a chance of resurrection either. Where do they get the notion that Jesus was Michael before the incarnation and is Michael now? The Bible doesn't teach that anywhere, rather, it teaches that Jesus was, is and always will be GOD. I know JW people that I work with. One lady is as sweet as she can be, but when someone attempted to lead her to the truth, she bluntly told him that she believes what she believes, and if she goes to hell for it, so be it. The JW cult has strong ties on their people. I think one thing that keeps many inthat false faith is the fear of being shunned bu their loved ones.less
ukulelemike You are indeed correct about the people not being fed. But more than that, this is the great falling away that the Bible speaks of in the end times. 2 Thes 2:11 says; "For this reason God will send upon them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false." False teachings abound in many of the "Christian" churches today, not just the cults like the JW's or the LDS, etc,...more

False teachings abound in many of the "Christian" churches today, not just the cults like the JW's or the LDS, etc, but also in many denominational churches, the catholic church, and nondenominational churches. Satan is infiltrating the church in order to destroy the people of God if he can.
The good news is that Jesus said that not even one who is saved will be lost. Not even in the great tribulation will even one soul that belongs to the Father be lost. Matt 24 says, " 22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.less
lofgrenmark115 There is NO WAY the Lord will return on May 21, 2011! Are you not aware that the Bible is clear that we are not to set dates??? There was a fellow name Miller who tried that in the late 1800's. His followers were call the Millerites.

His followers were call the Millerites. They sold all their belingings and sat on a hilltop awaiting the Lord's return, not once but twice at the behest of pastor Miller. Guess what???? He didn't come. That group later became the 7th day adventists. There are certain criteria that must be in place before the Lord's return, and they have not taken place. Ther must be an altar on the Temple Mount, and the antichrist must have stopped the sacrifices (2 Thes 2). There isn't.The whole world must have turned against Israel and gont to war with her, they haven't. This is just to name a few things that still need to take place. Then there is the matter of the timing.........May 21 is all wrong, in ANY year.less

You are absolutely correct. Scripture teaches that the generation that was alive at the time that Israel became a nation again would not all pass away before the end of this age. When Israel became a nation again, it was the fulfilling of the dry bones prophecy in Ezekiel. This thing in Egypt seems like it could be the fulfilling of the prophecy in Isaiah 19 also, whcih brings us closer to the end of this age as well. Hosea (I think chapter 6) says that the Lord would be cut off and in 2 days, on the third 1000 year day, He will gather us to be with Him forever (or words to that evct). No matter how you slice it, we are at the end of the age, and the tribulation is at hand.
And Crispentine, it is true that we cannot know the day or the hour, but we CAN know the seasons. Scripture is clear on that issue. We know that Jesus fulfilled the spring Jewish holidays at His first coming, and we know that He will fulfill the fall holidays at His return. The second 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation ( a period of 42 months - Daniel 11&12) must begin on or around a future Passover in order for His to fulfill the fall holidays, which means that near the end of those 3.5 years, on that particular Rosh Ha Shannah, the rapture and resurrect will take place, at the Last trumpet (1 Cor 15:51-52) followed by Yom Kippur, which is when the Wrath of God will be poured out against those who followed the antichrist. The wedding of the Lamb will take place on that Sukkot fhut fulfilling the last of the fall holidays. The exodus from Egypt was given as a pattern for the great exodus at the end of the age. If you follow that exodus, you will seee that it began with Passover, lasted 40 years, during which there were 42 camps. The judgements on Egypt were very similar to the judgements in the tribulation also...judgements agains the gods of Egypt, just as the judgements other than the Wrath of God are basically judgements against the gods of today; at least those of the earth worshippers, which is growing by leaps and bounds with the "green" theme, global warming and all the rest.less

Diatribe?? God's Holy Word is the Holy, Divine, inspired Word of God; you know, the Creator of the Universe? The One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills? You know, THAT God. It will be His decision who He allows into His eternal Kingdom, and if you think for one minute He is going to allow people who insist on practicing things that he has declaired abomination, and have not repented and turned from the practice thereof, into His Kingdom, you are sadly mistaken.
Would you allow someone to live in your home who has cursed you, threatened you, maybe raped your wife or daughter? Somehow, I just don't think so............less
Peaceful101 Seems to me it is your kind that twists the Holy word of God. God is clear that your sexual preferences are abomination. To say otherwise is to twist HIS Word. There is a judgement day coming, and those who chose to flaunt their deviat life styles and have basically made a god to their own understanding will have a whole lot of explaining to do before a Holy God.

Unfortunately, when the military takes control of a country, they are not at all egar to give over that power to someone else. Additionally, the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist orginization who's goal is an Islamic government, run by a religious leader, complete with Shira law, which means a whole lot of trouble for the Coptic Christians in Egypt. They were responsible for the killing of Anwar Sadat because he befirended Israel. If anyone is foolish enough to think that this regieme change will be one of peace in the long run is sdadly mistaken. What we are seeing in Egypt is the fulfillment of Isaiah 19, and it's going to get very ugly before it's over. We as Christians, need to be praying for our Coptic brothers and sisters, that they will step out in boldness and proclaim Jesus to the Egyptian people while they can, before the Brotherhood gets a handle on the situation in Egypt and silences the voice of reason.less

"Thou shalt have no graven images" went by-the-by from the very beginning. Then Jesus said 'call no man your Father because you have one Father in heaven', yet they call their priests "Father". Jesus also said He is our go between to the Father, not some man in a cubicle who has probably committed worse sins that the poor schlep who is confessing that he stepped on the cat's tail intentionally.less

Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of a virgin as specified in the Tanach, He kept every commandment given in Torah. He kept Sabbath as commanded by God. He healed the sick, raised the dead, gave sight to the blind and healed lelpers just as prophecied. He was crucified and arose ont he third say as required in Jewish Scripture. He is the fulfillment of Isaiah 53 and many, many other Scriptures. The first verse of Bereshit (Genisis) speaks of Him in the Hebrew. HE is the Alef and the Tov, the first and the last, the begging and the end. He was, He is, and He will be forever God.less

As as to the "west bank". that land was give by GOD to the Jews. It's true name is Sumeria and Galille. God deeded all of the land from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq and from the Red sea to the Mediteranin to Abraham through issac & Jacob in an eternal covenant, which God himself kept both parts. All the rest of the middle east, God gave to ishmael and his descendents. I am happy that you hav ecome to know Jesus as your Messiah, but you need to realize and accept that God's chosen people are the JEWS. Not the American's, the Europeans, or the Arabs, but the Jewish people. The rest of us are grafted in, and I for one am very grateful to be a grafted in JEW.

Mohammed was responsible for the stoppage of muslims worshiping allah's wife & children. allah was the moon god, and still is. all you need do is look at their symbol, the crescent moon, to know this is true. The one true living GOD of Abraham, Issac & Jacob does not tell us to kill, kill, kill, but to love, love, love! To turn the other cheek, to do unto others what we would have done unto us. Islam teaches them to du unto others before they get the chance to do unto them. When Christians take a stand against Islam, they are taking a stand against Satan.less
