Mandy! Just want to assure you that I am praying for you daily. May God be with you through this hard time. We never know why we have to go through certain trials, but we also have to put our trust in the Lord. He will work it all out for you. It hurts now, but we never know what lies ahead for us. Be strong for the Lord, Mandy.Love you Irene

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 08 2008,16:07)Irene…..the word Satan only means adversary nothing else, What do you do with Jesus calling Peter Satan then.

The bible is full of metaphor's, and symbolism…[Read more]

Gen. Have you ever looked in your Concordance how many Scriptures talk about Satan. I have. In my King James Bible 13 times it is mentioned in Scriptures. I am so sorry for you, Satan has told you a big lie. Just like He did to Eve. Irene

Quote (t8 @ July 08 2008,10:35)I would also say that many Trinitarians do the same for those who shun the Trinity doctrine.I wonder tho if we do not judge them by saying they are wrong and we are right? I have never really come across a Trinitarian that has told me that I will go to Hell, if I don't start believing in the trinity, have you?Irene

Quote (dirtyknections @ July 07 2008,15:18)JW's practice the expelling and excommunicating of members who sin unrepentantly.

And if it were not for our Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us, we would all die forever. Now we have a Mediator, and we can go in front of the…[Read more]

The only limits he has, he willing sets on himself.Man has a “will” but it has limits. If we consider a baby is born without any expereince, his mind is like a blank slate. In order for it to learn it must expereince…[Read more]
