Perhaps your god is one of intolerance and harsh punishment for those who fail to do exactly as it wishes, but if so I fear you are not worshipping the Creator but Satan himself, and we all know the horrors that that path leads to. One could consider your perspective, but what foundation does it rest up
I'm telling you iamheather, it's a bitter spirit. pracherman
ThenI would ask a few philisophical questions like "If you're all-powerful, all good and all-knowing, why is there so much evil in the world?" "Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. Fo
In the gospel of Matthew 7:21-23 The scriptures read; "Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesised in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And th

Then I would grovel like a pathetic worm. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of men that have trangressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. preacherman
God helps those who help themselves". Where is that found in the scriptures? If you have made a mistake on this portion of God's Word surely you better hope you have NOT made a mistake on standing before Him one day! preacherman
enshrined the separation of the Church and the State in the US constitution. Actually the phrase "Separation of the Church and the State" is not even in the constitution. The phrase comes from a letter that Thomas Jefferson made in a letter as he responded to the Danbury Baptist. If you would like you c
count me in- DBB Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. God Bless Death By Beebles preacherman
A child might well do. I think they deserve the opportunity to find out though, and live with the consequences of that. That's what life is about, making mistakes and learning from them. Some of us like to think for ourselves Sally, the dangers of fooling with Satan have eternal consequences. Would you
Glad you had a great Christmas and God Bless greywar as he serves our country in Iraq. We should thank God for the liberties that we enjoy in this country. SUBJECT OF THE THREAD I never looked at in a metaphorical sense because of Christ reference to his witness in the gospel of Matthew 12:38-4. It seems one could argue that if the story and the witness of Jonah were a metaphor then the resurrection of Christ could be likewise....
Amen.... I have to agree GreatDaniel! preacherman
Geeting oleteach. Hope you had a Merry Christmas! This metaphor was meant to teach us that when we choose to live by our own guidelines, life becomes very messy. So you think it was a metaphor?... You don't think Jonah was a real prophet swalled by a great fish only to be expelled at the beckon
Lets give children a bit of credit that they can think a little for themselves, and lets allow them a little magic. It's not evil. Its not brainwashing. It's just Christmas. If you don't like it, change the channel. If Adam and Eve fell to the wiles of Satan, what makes you think a child will not?
Can you expound a little Helix the II? Do you think Christians are not willing to accept other faiths? preacherman
Does it appear that kingbee has a bitter spirit, or is it just me? After all kingbee, it is Christmas! I am amazed at the anti-christian spirit that exist on this RELIGION blog site. Maybe it is anti-religion spirit? Merry Christmas! preacherman
Merry Christmas kingbee preacherman
Greetings once again philomedy. Like you, I knew we would meet again. If you noticed I stayed away from the deep spiritual truths of the scripture because I realized you do not have the capacity to comprehend…. just kidding! I did check out all the links on your thread and must admit that I did not realize the ACLU had done so much for Christianity. One thing that I noted was that these were all individual episodes but really were not paramoun
You too Dr. Guy Thanks for commenting! God Bless preachernan
With another Christmas season, comes a more aggresive anti-Christian spirit. I can understand those who don't believe in God how they would be so adamant upon removing Christ from the Christmas holiday, but it is troubling to me to see the blatant pro-Islamic agenda of the ACLU while they are vehemently suppressing the Christian's freedoms.

Insightful for that sabbatismus the wise men (consider them wise because they believed the Word of God) came from the east and bowed the knee before Him, willingly, not by force. One day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is Lord to the glory of God! That day it will be by force. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text
sabbtismus thanks for the insight. I preached on this thought this past Sunday. The sermon is summarized on our church web site. Link God Bless and have a Merry Christmas preacherman:)
Our greatest enemy against God's will for our life......THE FLESH! God Bless preacherman
Who really cares when Jesus was born?.... It's not important Zoo as long as He is one day born in a individual's heart! Except a man be born again..... Christ can be born again in the heart of man at any time, in any month but today is the day of salvation. Imagine this, Christmas is occuring e
Where the tendency may be to worry, panic and run, God tells us that we "need only to be still." This day, this minute, stuck between the Egyptians and the Red Sea, we can choose to lay aside panic and instead be still. Nice article poetmom99- I preached a message on this one time. A major prob
