Am I a saint? Absolutely. All you have to do is a short study of the books of Acts and Romans to see that the church, the Bride of Christ, the believers, those who have been redeemed by the shed blood of Christ, the saved are referred to as SAINTS. I am a Saint just like Peter, like Mark, James, Barthlomew, Paul, Mary, Joseph, and so on.
Lol I like what your friend said. Of course we know that evolution is a heap of rubbish. Darwin might have gotten hit on the head when he thought that one up. No, I think it had more to do with the fact that he was so anti-God he had to come up with something that didn't have God in it.
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

[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.
I can imagine some things we see today which could be examples of believers who are being 'tried' because of their sin. Sexually transmitted diseases? These 'trials' can can easily cause a wayward believer to realize their error and turn back to God!
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 have a confession rolleyes.gif A while back I used to watch Wil and Grace (I know, I know, don't bash me now...I got right...). I knew homosexuality was wrong, but it was entertaining and I thought ahh...it's not that bad. I was watching it one night and one of the girls on there was scared to go to the doctor for a check up, so she had Wil go with her. When she got her results back she didn't want to open them out of fear. So Wil opens them. During that she says, 'God, if the results are alright then I'll spend the rest of my life devoted to you!'. When Wil gets them open he says, 'yeah, you're alright.'. She then pulls her hand out from behind her back which had her fingers crossed and shouts, 'HaHa, got you again, God!'
I was so shocked and disturbed. I seriously almost cried. I (thank the Lord) haven't watched it since and I de-reccomend it to anyone I hear talking about it.
There are a lot of things you can learn from the modern, hollywood, romance style of dating:
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to live in disobedience to God's will
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to live with a sexually transmitted disease
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to stand at the wedding alter having a heart and/or body that is sexually impure
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to be disqualified from whatever ministry God may have for you.
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to be a parent before you are ready or married.
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to practice for divorce.
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to have your heart torn asunder because you joined your heart to someone who was not God's will for you.
Need I continue? God has a plan for marriage and Hollywood's style of dating is not a part of it.
Dan found out about a birthday gift that Sue was planning to give him – a kiss. Later that night, he asked for his birthday present and she gave it to him. A few minutes later, Anne and Dan sat in the back seat of a car watching Sue and Mark in a passionate embrace. Now several years later, three of the four have had illegitimate children, two of the four have already been married and divorced, three of the four have been heavily involved in drugs and alcohol. And one still struggles to this day with her walk with God. Was all of this the result of the one kiss? No, not completely, but the one kiss was a match dropped in a sea of gasoline that was the unrestrained emotions of four teenagers.
[Response to why Evangelicals don't dance]
We don't dance (as it is today) for a couple of reasons:
1. most types of dancing we see today are sensual
2. the types of dancing we see today do not glorify the Lord
3. Modern dance involves the use of music that does not glorify the Lord.
(Also fits in RSTDT)
Obviously God made different races for a reason so why would He want one race to be the same as another? Yes, Adam was created in the likeness of God....the rest of us are all in the similtude of Adam. He made each race different and in order for that race to remain the way He created it then each race needs to stay within themselves.
I don't know about your church, but our church has all kinds of people - whites, blacks, hispanics.....American, Indian, Romanian, Polish, African, Guyanese, etc, etc...... We all go to the same church. We all sing praises to God together. We all hear preaching together. If THAT is not racial harmony then what is? When it comes to salvation we ARE all equal in the sight of God. ALL are sinners and must come to Him in repentance and faith.
As for the interracial dating - we have covered that somewhere here on the Board before - and it is wrong biblically. Please do a search to find that topic.
[about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki]
Nobody is ever completely innocent except unborn children. But that's irrelevent. We killed the citizens of Japan because their government was an immediate threat to ours, not because they were guilty of something.
The real tragedy is that so many people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't saved. In one fell swoop, the United States sent the populations of two cities to Satan.
Harry Potter only gets kids reading because of the content of the books. The content of the books is evil and the author herself is a satanist. Satanism is a very dangerous religion. Young people are drawn into it becuase it is so appealing. It appeals to their flesh and their sense of mystery and the music appeals to their flesh too. Harry Potter books are dangerous and leading many down the broad road of destruction.
["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.

Oh, I wish I could respond to the [Hillary] Clinton thing. I wish I could say all the reasons why she should not be president.
I can say this:
1) Anyone who supports aborton, or sodomite's rights should not be supported
2) A woman should be the keeper of the house.
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.
[More slander aimed at fstdt.]
your ideas actually constitute conspiracy to commit a crime and a recruitment effort. According to the FBI agent I spoke to, your childish ideas amount to a conspiracy to commit internet fraud, internet vandalism and theft of bandwidth. Others have attempted to spam our site with porn. When they do that, the charges also include contributing to the delinquency of a minor, distributing harmful materials to a minor and (possibly) distributing child pornography. In additional to the federal criminal charges, a civil liability exists for any costs we incur, time lost, emotional distress and punitive damages.
[NEW YORK — A woman filed a civil rights lawsuit against a popular Greenwich Village neighborhood restaurant Tuesday, claiming a bouncer chased her out of the women's bathroom because she looked too masculine.
Khadijah Farmer, who was at the Caliente Cab Company after New York's gay pride parade last June, said the bouncer ran into the bathroom, pounded on the stall door and demanded that she leave. He told her a customer complained a man was in the women's room.
"I told him I was a woman, and I tried to show him my I.D.," Farmer said at a news conference. "He refused to look at it. I was extremely uncomfortable and quite humiliated."]

Hmm, perhaps if ladies looked like ladies and men like men there would not be a problem.

That's exactly right! Why should this even be an issue? Obviously it was very unclear as to what her gender was.

NEW YORK — A woman filed a civil rights lawsuit against a popular Greenwich Village neighborhood restaurant Tuesday, claiming a bouncer chased her out of the women's bathroom because she looked too masculine.
Khadijah Farmer, who was at the Caliente Cab Company after New York's gay pride parade last June, said the bouncer ran into the bathroom, pounded on the stall door and demanded that she leave. He told her a customer complained a man was in the women's room.
"I told him I was a woman, and I tried to show him my I.D.," Farmer said at a news conference. "He refused to look at it. I was extremely uncomfortable and quite humiliated."
Caliente Cab Company released a statement denying the discrimination claim and said Farmer's "primary interest" was money.
"There has been no discrimination or violation of anyone's civil rights or human dignity by Caliente Cab Company or anyone employed here," the restaurant's statement said.
Farmer's lawyer, Michael Silverman of the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, says his client is asking for unspecified damages and demanding that the restaurant train its staff not to discriminate on the basis of gender identity.
Farmer said she knows she looks like a man with her closely cropped hair and male clothing. She said people usually apologize after making the mistake, but the bouncer told her, "I want you out of this restroom and out of this restaurant."
Farmer, a counselor at a residential program for people with disabilities, said she was suing under city and state human rights laws to prevent other people from having to endure similar humiliation.]

[In response to the question: What about the fish? I would think that they stayed in water, and weren't taken onto the ark, but sea fish need saltwater, freshwater fish need freshwater, and when the flood came, all the water would have mixed, and become brakish. Very few fish can survive this.]
This can probably be described in many ways, but one way it would work is that salt water is more dense then fresh water, so when they are mixed the salt water sinks to the bottom, and the fresh water stays on top. So when the flood happened, the bottom half of the earth was salt water, and the top half was fresh water. I am sure many fish died, but enough of them survived by staying in their type of water(top or bottom) to reproduce after the flood.
If the Sodomites can't handle being called other names then they need to take it up with God.

Under this law, they cannot refuse someone. So, girls, suppose there's a perv guy in your class. Up until today, he's claimed (and acted) straight. But today, he announces that he's a sodomite and wants to use the girls locker room and bathrooms. Remember, they cannot refuse him. A few days later, after he's got what he wants, he announces that he is no longer sodomite. According to this law, there would not be anything you could do about it (except homeschool)

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.

[on demonic possession]
It certainly does happen today. In fact, I think it is much more common than we realize it is. I believe the majority of people who are in mental instutions are under some kind of demonic opressions.
I also believe those who abuse druge submit themselves to demonic opression.
However - the saved cannot be indwelled by a demon. That space is filled by the Holy Spirit!

[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.

A "girly-man" hairstyle is a guy with long hair, which the Bible says is wrong.
The schools are now providing a means of abortion
Yep, that's what I said! It is a well known fact that a certain combination of the pills in the package will cause a first trimester abortion. BUT, many people do not realize that the pill, taken as it is prescribed, can also cause an abortion! Here's how it works: The first line of defense is supposed to prevent the pregnancy. But there is a second line of defense. If there is a conception (in other words, a baby is on the way), the second line makes the body so that it will not nurture the new baby, thus causing an abortion.
The cATHOLIC's interpretation of the Word of God is unified - they ignore it. They follow the teachings of men rather than the Word of God.
[A game invented by IFBaptistgirl called "Name that Cult"]
Usually, I don't get into the games, but this one's gonna be fun!
Hmmm sits in a box telling secrets to someone who can't see them (or forgive them) .... Catholics?
Perhaps the Catholic Priest needs to come out of the closet
I have always defined a cult as a group where the teachings of a man or men are placed above the Word of God.
We really should concern ourselves with what God says rather than what we "think". In the long run we'll be better off.
This is where you get off track quite a bit. As a Christian, you NEVER let your conscience dictate what you do. Why? Because even the Bible says our heart is desperately wicked. We are not free to do whatever we want to do. Whether it offends the brothers or not, it goes much further than that. It's offensive to God! There is NO excuse for immorality in the life of the believer. Here a tip. Forget what you feel. Forget what you thought. Forget what you've been taught, and go on what the word of God says. And it CLEARLY says that there are some things that Christians should have no part in. Plain and simple!
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!
I didn't know where else to put it, so I thought I would put it here. The other night I was watching a moveie about creation vs. evolution. I learned a lot of stuff. Creation says eating the right foods can fight diseases and Evolution says taking medicines will. it might not have been worded exactly like that, but it was close.

[poll: should women go to college?"
No, I do not believe that all women should attend college. Society has made us all to think that everyone should attend college. I do not believe this to be true. So many independent baptist churches push college on us. They have made us think that we will not "be something" unless we go to college. No longer are we thinking about God' will for our lives, but only what other people are telling us.
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.
As I have stated in my other posts, this all goes back to the feminist movement. Women thought that they were no different than men, they wanted to act, like, and talk like them. Women went to work, and the children were left at school.
My church recently visited the college, and many did not aprrove. They have very low dress standards. (Ex. Girls wear shorts to play volleyball in) I do not approve of that at all! I also don't agree with them competing with secular universities.
As far as guys and girls not walking together, and being in the same elevator, I do agree with their stand on that. I just don't see why they couldn't have those kind of standards in the rest of the college.
My personal opinion -
God did not create woman to be in a leadership position unless it is only over ladies. Our country is in bad enough shape. It would be certain death for the country if a female was elected - no matter who she was. It would be government based on emotion and how she felt. Eeek!
Speaking as a lady, I would NOT want my president to be one of me!
