Just as a sidenote, Tova, you see what I was saying when I was talking with you privately about accountability?

I have decided that one of the interesting paradoxical truths of serving God is that those that NEED accountability the least will be most likely to seek it...because they understand their own fallibility.

I stay away from SOT's threads, because I find that ANYONE can hang their shingle and claim to be a prophet of God...

I have my own opinions on SOT, but I'll refrain from stating them here.

Very insightful Gid, and I think you are right.

It's fortuitous that SOT came along when he did because it really drove home your point about checks and balances.

As an ordained man of God I have the right to teach and preach the gospel, and share the Wisdom GOD has given me with others reguardless of your assumption.

Ordained by who, where, and how? And don't tell me that "the Lord ordained you himself". He come and put his own hands on your head to give you this "ordination"?

Barring Tova you're all the same person aren't you? The writing style is the same anyway. So why bother addressing Sons/Candy/Orions by name?

Probably! That's pretty messed up, Son of Thunder, Son of Zebedee, Mr. holier-than-thou or whatever the crap your name was. Codify your "calling" by telling us where your authority comes from.

I don't expect you to believe that Candy/Orion and I are not one in the same, however what that shows me is that you have little believe or faith in the Living God and his word. Candy/Orion and I simple share the same ideas and beliefs as born again christians and speak the samethings because we'er on one accord.

You question my ordination and by whom, well let me advise you that I was indeed ordained by God when I was called into the ministry. I happen to have three sets of licenses and was proplrly ordained after having successfully passed the board before several churches gathered together to witness the event. Where you ask? In the city of Baltimore in the state of maryland in the year of 1991 by The New Covenant Apostolic Faith Church and Association, which happens to have come out of Bible Way Apostolic Church which was founded by the late Bishop Smallwood E. Williams in Washington DC. Hands were laid on me by seven ministers and I was charged to preach the Gospel as according to 2Tim. 4:1-5, and before God and the all the saints assembled. All ordained Ministers, Deacons and Missionaries are charged the same way in Apostolic ordinations. Thats how it worked for me.

My papers are accepted in all 50 states and the Distric of Columbia. Many are called but few are choosen, I was called and choosen to handle the Word of God reguardless of your belief in my ordination or not. Needless to say I will continue to do so here or anywhere else because I take my calling seriously. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and I do that. Try it, you might like it.

Wow. An actual Bible JU Magic 8 Ball.

Haven't you ever heard that one's religious beliefs should be kept private?

All you're doing now is showing what's on the other side of your privates.

Hey, San Chonino. Remember these lines? "Scary religious people." "Religion freaky."

I have been away from the internet for 1 1/2 months. I could not be any of the people you say I sound like on this blog. I would use my screenname on anything that I wanted to address in this forum and not be afraid to do so. Please be assured that I don't have to hide behind another screenname while addressing a subject or any topic in this forum. I thank God I am who I am and that God is the head of my life. I am called, anointed, appointed, and chosen by God to teach, deliver the word of GOD, and hold a few other offices so ordained by God. I don't chose to hide behind various names.
Let's be professional while addressing the different topics and enjoy this avenue which allows us all to express ourselves. Those that are on one accord with God and believe in HIS HOLY WORD are covered under the blood of JESUS CHRIST. There is no greater love than what HE expressed to a dying world when HE hung bled and died on Calvary, stayed dead for 3 days and rose again. Let's make an effort to obey HIS commandment and love ye one another for HE loves us all and wants us to fellowship and learn more of HIM.

Try the spirit by the spirit. God is real! Seek HIM while HE may yet be found.
