Back to the point at hand.

To "Alockslee",

2 Peter 3:3 " Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts..."

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian right from the start. There is scripture etched in stone all over Washington D.C. There are 3 different instances of the Ten Commandments VISIBLE TO ALL in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Governor Bradford, in writing of the Pilgrims’ landing, describes their first act: “Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven....”

Rhode Island Charter of 1683, which begins: “We submit our persons, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of His given us in His holy Word.”

James Madison, our 4th President and one of the founding writers of the Constitution said, and I quote, "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

The Supreme Court Decision 1892—Church of the Holy Trinity Vs. The United States: “Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of The Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian….
This is a religious people. This is historically true.”

I'm so tired of hearing about the Constitutions secular nature when that is nothing but a lie from the father of all lies, invented by Humanists to propagate their own agenda, preying on the unwitting non-believer because they WILL NOT acknowledge the obvious. God created us, like it or not.

Here's another quote for you that I used in another thread. Sir Arthur Keith, Scottish anatomist and anthropologist, a "fellow" (which is an incorporated senior member of certain colleges and universities and/or a member of it's governing body) of the Royal College of Surgeons of England said this: "Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe in it because the only alternative is Special Creation (God), and THAT is unthinkable"(emphasis mine)

You will know the truth one day. That being the day, the MOMENT, you die. If we (Believers) are wrong, then everyone becomes fish food and no one cares. But, if we are right, it is a decision you will regret for Eternity....

How about this? Maybe, just maybe, the movie stinks out loud. No one wants to take a chance on a "marginal" movie in this economy. Hollywood is totally about the money. If it would make some, they would show it.

Dear Homo,
Actually, I rail against the so-called "Prosperity Gospel" because it's a lie. If you understood what I wrote, you would know that whether you are rich or poor doesn't matter, it's an issue of the heart. It is more DIFFICULT as a rich man to come to Jesus, particularly if you were rich FIRST, because, like the rich young ruler, they can't see being poor and WON'T give it up.

Paul said in Phil 4:12 "I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need." He has had both situations and he is content either way. THAT is the point.

I find it interesting that you didn't mention Solomon or David (God-proclaimed as a man after God's own heart) who were Kings with King money.

How do you define Poor and Meek?

I also agree with Slacker. You are very angry. God is in control

We believe in it because the only alternative is Special Creation, and THAT is unthinkable"(emphasis mine). Dr. D.M.S. Watson, Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London said something similar with this quote, "Evolution is universally accepted, not because it can be proved by logically coherent evidence to be true, (because it can't) but because the only alternative, Special Creation, is clearly incredible." Sounds like they had the same professor somewhere along the line. Evidently, Sir Arthur had a hand in Piltdown Man, since proven to be a total forgery (look it up), so we see the extent to which he was willing to go to preserve his ideals. It's amazing what you can find when you're willing to do some research.

Here are 2 men, with pretty respectable cred, from YOUR (evolutionist) side of the fence, who at least are willing to speak the truth about their beliefs. They do not want to be held accountable to anyone higher then themselves, therefore they promote something they can't prove rather than acknowledge JESUS. There are, after all, only two choices.

"Because as I recall, Jesus held poverty and charity as virtues and said that the rich are basically damned. "

You recall incorrectly because you don't know The Word. Charity, yes, poverty, no. Abraham, David, Solomon and many other kings were absolute men of God and were exceedingly rich (God told Solomon He would bless him with great riches because when God granted him a request, Solomon did not choose money. Solomon then counted his gold by the ton) but they did not WORSHIP money. Jesus is telling the rich young ruler (whom He knew to value his money too much) that he needs to sell all he has and follow Him. The young man WOULDN'T do that. MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING! to quote Cindy Lauper and that is without doubt. Most people can't handle it without it changing them. The point is how you feel about it and what you DO with it. As a Christian, that is everything

There is no special significance or Holy Position in being poor. You cannot obtain Righteousness with a vow of poverty, anymore than you can buy your way into Heaven with all your charity. That would be called "works", something you can do or not do, to gain Salvation. Impossible.

Faffy

It is truly sad that you comment on a subject that you, obviously, have zero personal knowledge or experience of. Trying to explain what it's like to know The Lord is akin to a mother trying to explain the birthing process to a woman who has never had a child. While that woman is CAPABLE, she won't know until she goes there. And you, speaking out of your ignorance, are CAPABLE, but if you never seek, you will never find. It's what Jesus called being "Born-Again", the touch of the Living God, PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY TANGIBLE. A total life-altering experience. And the choice is yours.

How can science believe in "The Big Bang" but turn around and say that self-ignition is impossible? Oh, ah, except this one time. Uh-huh. Bumble Bees are aero-dynamically incapable of flying. REE-ally. There is quite a list of the unexplainable, which I believe God set up on purpose. Science will let you down at some point. Jesus never will.

But then, some women don't ever WANT children....

Isa 5:20-24 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to [those who are] wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!
Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man!
Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, [So] their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel

Ex-Worship Leader: Why I Left the CCM Movement

TheRegenerate »

Thu Jul 30, 2009 6:33 pm Agree: 1   Disagree: 2

Much of CCM IS self centered these days, but was not always that way. As a member of my churches Worship Team
(and a B.C. professional musician) I can tell the difference between worship and the world IMMEDIATLY. I have been dropped to my knees by Modern Worship as the presence of God was more than I could stand, literally. I will not listen to secular music, as it is empty and Godless. If you can tell me that "Angus Dei" is sensual or "Holy Holy Hosanna" is a "rock-on dude" song, you're not listening to the Spirit.

Did not Lucifer have "tabrets" (a percussion instrument) and pipes built into him, as Gods greatest creation? Ezk 28:13 KJV.

David wrote in the Psalms 150:3-6 KJV "Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and DANCE, praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the LOUD cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."

This doesn't sound like a monks quiet hymn to me. While I LOVE hymns, there is need for spiritual songs of a modern style. The Bible has many examples of people singing, shouting, playing music and dancing to Praise The Lord. Even THE LORD dances over His people because He was so happy with them. Zeph 3:17 KJV The words "JOY over thee" means to spin violently in Hebrew.

Have you ever heard Jewish traditional worship? It has a definite "beat", and considering the way they pass things down from generation to generation, it would not surprise me to know that it is similar to what David and the Israelites did in bringing back the Ark. 1Cron 15:29 KJV

Is there abuse in CCM? Absolutely. "Believer" (July 24 1:51) has a good point in that many of these people are looking for fame and fortune and I think should actually be considered Apostates in the church. How many of them try to "cross-over" to secular music later? Bands should insist on the screaming and praising of ME to cease. PRAISE THE LORD, not me. I also believe that some songwriters are just looking to sell material, but then they do not have the anointing, do they. This is where discernment comes in.

I have to put this in again because the arguments about The Truth of The Word are meaningless.

1 Cor 2:14 "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

There are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who have met Jesus and those who have not, and there are many who claim Christianity who fall in the latter category.

Lets not forget 2Pet 3:3 NKJV "knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts..." There are many verses against homosexuality in God's Word that couldn't be clearer, so to suggest it DOESN'T say or mean that, is to interpret The Bible without the benefit of The Holy Spirit. If you have not been Born-Again (Jn 3:3-7, 1 Pet 1:23) You do not have The Spirits discernment in you. 1 Cor 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." Therefore, you are a "Natural" man, interpreting in the flesh, the Words of The Spirit, that which you can't possibly understand. 1 Cor 2:14 "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

Looks to me like the Episcopalian leadership (and a few people on this blog) are firmly ensconced in the flesh.

Diseases: Creations of God or 'Intelligent Evil'?

I don't believe Satan can "create" anything. He is not a creator, he is a creation. We do not create anything. We take what is already here and re-arrange it to fit our needs.

Did not God bring plagues to Egypt and the tribes in the wilderness with Moses? David "stayed" a plague in Israel through offerings to God in 2Sam 24:25 and Elijah wrote this to King Jehoram in 2Chr 21:14-15 KJV "Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day." A loving God wiped out the entire planet except Noah's family and totally destroyed Sodom and Gomorra. Will He not bring the plagues in the book of Revelation?
Some would argue that The Lord "allows" Satan to do such things and that is true, but the Scripture I chose doesn't say that. God is a loving God. I know this from personal experience. But He is also The Judge and He doesn't enjoy bringing His wrath. Isa 63:10 NKJV "But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them." Grieve: to cause to suffer: DISTRESS - also - to feel grief: SORROW. He will only let the sin go on for so long.

I believe these are signs of the End Times. We are seeing diseases we have never seen before. HIV, incurable STD's and Cancers. Will Swine Flu be another? I don't know, but it's starting to look that way. If The Lord should allow me to get that ill, as a child of the Living God, then I know that there is a reason that I can not see and I have to trust that it will be for good, some how, in a way that I might never see until I reach Heaven. As Believers, we must trust His will and judgement. A friends mom died of Cancer and she did nothing but preach the love of Christ to anyone who would listen. ONLY A CHILD OF GOD WILL DO THAT! Stay close to Him, Brethren, in these days...
