It is a matter of world view obviously. From one stand point christmas keeping looks a certian way and from another stand point it looks different it obviously isn't easy to change your position since it takes a life time to get where you are! I have two points to make 1. origins are important 2.We who are born…[Read more]

Who calls himself GOD?!!!Yeah I know. No argument here. I guess this guy is a hippocryte just like the the rest of us Accusing…[Read more]

Quote (Laurel @ Sep. 30 2007,04:15)Everybody loves a smooth talker. A smooth talkes makes us feel good and that there is nothing we must do to be saved.True prophets see a need for repentance, they see where folk slip off the path that leads to the kingdom. True prophets make us uncomfortable, they tell us it isn't over yet, and there is still…[Read more]

Pro 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Quote (kejonn @ Oct. 03 2007,03:25)I think that there is a major disconnect with most Christians. The fail to realize that faith in Yeshua is what leads us to obey God, not mere obedience in and of itself. If we obey the Ten Commandments but don’t know the Savior, we have missed the mark. This can be extended to anything we find written in s…[Read more]

Hi Malcom, so you go fishing to pay you taxes do you?

Mankind without the spirit of God indwelling is naught but a beast. And we have plenty of evidence of this, just listen to any newscast.Psa 73:22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you Dan 4:25 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew…[Read more]

Quote (IM4Truth @ Sep. 23 2007,12:59)Aliving Stone You really going to buy some land and grow your own food? That would be nice, I like that idea, but not all are able to do so. Land cost money, then how are you going to pay for it, if you get a Loan? It is not that easy as you think, unless you have a nice Savings account, which most people I…[Read more]

Quote (IM4Truth @ Sep. 22 2007,04:24)Aliving Stone  What you are saying is rather strange. Just because we have to be a registered Citizen of these United States does not make that the mark of the Beast. That I do not believe. By making that statement who ever reads it, you might have put fear to. Fear is not of God, and we should not participate…[Read more]

hi, marks of beasts and such I want to just add a side line about 'marks' I understand that it may not be 'the' mark that I am talking about but it gives insight I believe. I believe the great majority of people suffer greatly because they don't live the same agrirean life that the writers of the bible lived , simply because they live in cities…[Read more]

Hi kj, I don't have the realms of scripture to quote to you but I believe it has a lot to do with our conscience. Which is of course is totally laid bare before God who look's on the heart and whose eyes never close.If every one of us have not broken the big two commandments every day I'll be surprised. We might intend to ,but the flesh is always…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 18 2007,14:56)But my question is:Does the prohibition against making carved images mean that it is wrong to make representations of objects for artistic purposes?david , Perhaps this will settle this if you allow me to paraphase,'DONT make graven images of any earthly thing LEST you be driven to worship them.'There is alot of…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Sep. 17 2007,13:53)Are you guys saying that if I'm a painter or an artist, I'm not allowed to make paintings or sculptures or representations of anything?It sounds as if micheals has gone whole hog and chucked out he pictures as well. I dont have a problem as long as long as the fruit of it is good god will bless it . But I still…[Read more]

Quote (IM4Truth @ Sep. 17 2007,14:35)Aliving Stone You are lucky that you can afford to teach your own children, but not all people can do that and have to rely on the Public Schools. Since we were in the Catholic Church  our children were taught in the Catholic Church. God called us when my Husband was 45 years old and I was 44. So our children…[Read more]

Hi david, Mar 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. The temple is no more and even in its day the most sacred ark with its cherub's of gold was hidden from view except when it was being moved only the high priest was able to view it and then…[Read more]

Quote (IM4Truth @ Sep. 16 2007,18:32)Aliving Stone  I disagree that you can make an idol of your possessions, one has to be careful not to over doing it. But I find nothing wrong with what your children have given to you as gifts or pictures of your children. We can overdo it with everything and that is then wrong. But what is wrong for a child…[Read more]

well we dont even have to make anything physical to “make” an image as i tryed to explain with my daugthers doll, she didn't make it, but she makes up the personality so she can relate to the lifeless thing.As michaels says if they are not made they can't be bowed to or worshiped. The few people I have shared this revealtion to have reacted an…[Read more]

Thank you ladies,Don't worry I'm not some big hairy doll burning monster in fact,and this is a big frustration, even if one decides that perhaps some things are not for me or my family and makes it a policy not to buy such, it becomes difficult when friends and family give gifts which dont comply with the new code. So she's got some dolls. It is…[Read more]
