If Jesus was not able to make a choice to sin, then in Hebrews when it says He was TEMPTED as we are, but He did not sin, this then does not seem to support your idea. If Jesus did not have the ability, or choice to sin then would that not take away His humanity?
I present this as a question, but realize when we change and believe Jesus could not sin that sure changes Christian Theology. Does it not?

The Purpose Driven Life, in my opinion was just fair at best. Warren did not deal with sin, and that needs to be delt with to complete Gods purpose for our lives. The many different translations of the Bible he used to make his points fall into what he wanted to say was close to twisting words to say what he wanted.
Billg Grahams bood "The Journey" is a hundred time better, but this book just was not advertised like Warrens huge budget book.
I have deep concerns with Warrens direction and being our "Nations Pastor" Liberal and Social is what I have seen so far, and I am not there at all!

ozarkprof: To belittle Billy Graham in any way makes what you say mean much less. Dr. R. D. Winter would be ashamed that you would make any such of a unkind remark.
Both Dr, Winter and Dr. Graham have had spotless mi9nistries, and each had their own field of ministry called by God. We all have different callings and to compare how effective one was with the other is wrong.
I am glad Dr. Winter had such an inpact on you. I can say both have had different impacts on different people in many ways. That my friend is what ministery is about.

This President continues to prove how spiritually and Biblically ignorant he is. Obama's agenda is not in keeping with basic Christian beliefs. Mr.Obama is educated, but all his education is humanistic, which only proves education and Golilness are not always the same thing. Mr. Obama states he is a Christian, but by whose definition? If ever born again believers need to pray, it is for this President who is hell bent on destroying what has taken 203 years to build. I fear what 4 years of mr. Obama will bring, say nothing if he is re-elected.

I find it hard to understand how President Jimmy Carter could be a democrat and support the partys planks. I, in good Christian faith can not support a democrat.
I am pleased that L.U. stood it's ground, and hope they will continue to be strong on this issue.
There are some people always pushing to see how far they can go.

When will Christians expect their ministers their Pastors to live as an example for their congreations? A 15,000 sq foot house is totally uncalled for! These health and wealth preachers live way beyond the avrage man supporting this kind of excessive grandure. Fren Price, Paul and Jan of TBN, and Kenneth Copeland are just like T. J. Jakes. By the way Jakes does not belive in the Trinity, now that's unbiblical, and so is the way he flaunts his wealth.
Mega churches can be a place that you can escape any responsibility, accountability. However Mega churches have the mower and money to make huge contrabutions in their communities, missions, and reach out to people in greater need than most smaller churches that are 150 members or below.
When a Mega pastor is caught in a moral failure it has an effect that is broadcasted all over the world. Christians are put to shame, and Christ is put down by those who dislike or hate Christianity.
I find the Roman Catholic Church to be very different in Central and South America. In These countries there is requirements or if you wish to say demands of the members that are totally unscriptually. There is a mixing of unchristian beliefs and the Roman Catholic doctrines. This combining of Christian doctrines and heather beliefs is done mainly to increase the money and to control the people. That's not acceptable and sure is not Christian.
I have very mixed emotions. 80,000 human lives were taken by this killer! All these 80,000 lives were the weakest and helpless of all furture men and women. I n any other context killing this many people would bring ourrage and cried for the death of suck a murderer.
I do not for one second think killing is the answer to for justice, neither of a person like "killer Tiller" or the 80,000 persons Tiller murdered. Both are against the Law in the eyes of the Lord, and should be in the Laws of human kind.

I believe the Taliban and this message is just the start of the World View that most of the world is headed to. Christ has always been the core issue with everyone born from the time of Adam. Will be obey the LORD or reject the LORD. God has bridged the gap with Jesus Christ. John 3:16 states it so simply. WE have life if we have Jesus and we have death if we do not.
We know the Taliban does not have Life.

Flagged as inappropriate. show I doubt that President Obama fully understands that the "I AM" the "HOLY FATHER" has expectations we as a country no longer respect or obey. To ask our nation to pray for anything is unrealisitc. Most people of our nation are not Christian, and reject the most basic Scriptual teachings. In the UNITED STATES our nation has allowed more than 40,000,000 unborn children to be murdered! Our President goes totally against Scripture, and is supportive of same sex couples entering into a unholy, so called, marriage. Our President is at the very best a possible seeker of a higher power, but not the LORD (YAHWEH) God of the Bible. We are not a nation of God fearing people. We are felling into the evil one's hands, our nation is very much turning into a nation of anti-Christ's. President Obama has set a direction that leads to distruction spiritually, and into a materialistic slavery. Pray for our nations leaders that they may be willing to listen to the Holy Spirit and become followers of Christ. God Help our country. The time has come for the United States to bless God and not the other way we say it. farout63 hide

I find this heart braking and a threat to Christians. I think it is only a matter of time before same sex marraige will be the law of the land.
If we think divorce courts are overflowing now just wait, most homosexual partners last a very short time.
America we are in very serious times. The punishment for such sin is headed our way.

Homosexuality, especially in males is not a loving and kind sexual relationship. You don't have to be a medical doctor to undersatand the activities engaged by these men is degrading. Homosexuality does not just happen, it takes a homosexual to brake in a homosexual.
In any large city the ER Doctors have seen the results of sodomy and the damage it causes. Sometime ask a homosexual what "fisting" is. Homosexuality is anything but tender and kind.
No matter how anyone reads Romans Chaper one, you have to twist the meaning and distort what Scripture says to say homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle.

Ted and his famiy have suffered the ultimate shame. The greatest person to forgive Ted are God, his wife, children, and the Church he brought shan upon. We too can forgive.
This forgiveness does not entitle Ted to serve in leadership ministery ever again. To allow Ted to go into a church leadership ministry is not Biblical. But I think some place or someone will offer Ted a leadership ministery which would be a serious mistake for him, his family and thoes he would go to be their leader.

The murder of babies is in no way ever justified. I noticed no one has mentioned the lasting pain (enotionally or spiritually or physiaclly) that lasts a life time with the mother who must live this the rest of her life with this death of her son or daughter. God be merciful to these mothers and fathere.

Rick Warren is using the wrong word! The correct word to honor JESUS CHRIST IS RESURRECTION DAY!!!!! Who ever started using the word easter really messed up. easter was the day to honor eastar the goddess of fertility.
Only satan has glory when we use the word easter to deacribe the RESURRECTION. When we use the word easter that brings no glory the Christ. easter eggs, bunnies all represent fertility, not the RESURRECTION OF JESUS!
It is not easter! The correct and glorifing of our Lord Jesus is RESURRECTION DAY. NOT easter. easter is the celebration of the goddess of fertility eastar. Calling this great day Resurrection Day this celebrates Jesus Christ, not satans word that brings honor to a stupid anti Christ term.

This is pure Hollywood garbage! Who cares what Haggard does? Haggard deserves to be shamed by a play about his homosexual asffairs he paid for. If he had an ounce of shame he would never have gone there in the first place. How do you think his wife felt?
I say don't bother telling us what Haggard is doing. let haggard be delt with by the Lord. Haggard deserves no attention, and he needs to be working on restoring his relationship with the Lord and his wife and family. Haggard has disqualified himself from ministry for the rest of his human life. There is plenty of ministry haggard can do behind the seens and keeping out of the lime light.
In fact Haggard is not worth me spending this time writting about him.

When President Bill Clinton set an example of his recreationnal sexual activity before the whole world, younger people followed some of his suggestions. Remember it is ok to plan mind agmes with words. It is ok to lie. It is ok to play sexual games with women who are not your wife. It is ok to use and abuse women for your own gratification. It is ok to betray your wife. It is ok to abuse the power intrusted to you. Did I miss anything?
Young people now believe "oral sex is not having real sex" This has become a HUGE issue!
Not only did our President show the complete world how immoral he was but the basic promise of being faithful to his wife was not worth honnoring, but he faild a very basic trust. He made his wife and daughter ashamed of him, along with a majority of Americans.
We as a nation are paying a price for our untrust worthy leaders. President Clinton joined other in the higest office who also broke the vows to their wives as well.
President Clinton and others will be held accountable by the Lord God Almighty.

Who is responsible for your spiritual growth? Who should teach you Biblical truths, and grow you in knowledge of the BIBLE?
IT'S YOU!
SURE THE PREACHER DOES HIS OR HER BEST ON SUNDAY, BUT YOU ARE TO BECOME A lIFE LONG LEARNER. The problem it it takes time and being in love with the Lord and Loving His Word.
How many of us can name the books of the Bible? Can we show someone to surrender to Jesus Christ? These are BASIC Christian things, how are we doing?

Maybe most people don't know the facts that a pastor knows. Does any of you know how many "Christian Brides" are pregnant when they get married? Any idea what it is like when you are talking with a Christian Couple who want to get married and they are sexually active and won't stop until they get married? Any idea how much adultery ther is going on with deacons and even a pastor now in then?
Anyone who has been in real ministry with a counseling ministry can tell you that the topic of sex is still a taboo subject, and therefor people from all walks of life live a double life.
I think this pastor has proberely had his fill of phoney lies and lives lived by Christians who are being eaten up with lust and betrail in marraiges.
It is about time Christians are made aware that God has given his blessings to sexual pleasure in marraige. This not mentioning S E X in church is long over due. I can fully understand how a sermon like these on sex could have people surrender to Christ. We need to be aware that sex is like an "A" bom, and when it hit's kind is 1st and second grade you would be blasted away by what these young children say and do.
In a Kindergarden class three weeks ago in a public school there was so much sexual talk and sexual charged up kids you would not believe what was said and done by these 5 year old just a little above toddlers and these kide were already exposing themselves to each other. My oh my maybe the sexual talks neede to be done by parents before they go to kindergarden!
Don't judge this preacher to hard, remember he see's what you don't. God help our children as this world and the evil one is out to destroy our kids!

On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
