Quote (kenrch @ Feb. 18 2006,09:50)Did any of that make sense?The reason I mentioned jobs in this world was to compare to political participation. What you said about it made sense, but I don't see you point on political particpation was, sorry. Cubes – I agree, we as believers are to go out into the world and minister. We just have to be…[Read more]

Bumpity-bump! Great replies! Let's do some more!Voting and Political ParticipationI've come across some people that believe that since we are not of this world, it would be a sin to vote or have any political participation whatsoever. Scripture such as this passage are often used:1 John 2:15-17Don’t love the world, neither the things that are in t…[Read more]

Quote (Eliyah @ Feb. 17 2006,10:41). . . don't I get to vote in the poll ?It wouldn't make much sense if you were to invite yourself back, no?Also, about the “100%” thing you mentioned in the other topic; the percentage is of the members who actually voted (i.e. 2 opposing votes are 50%-50%), and not the members.Is. 1:18 – These types of polls are…[Read more]

Quote (Eliyah @ Feb. 17 2006,11:39)Mr Bob, please research the posts more carefully, I have not ” spammed” , I merely did what T8 asked me to do earlier.I never said that you spammed. I wasn't caught up on the posts, so I couldn't make any judgement on it.

Eliyah – If you are going to say you're leaving for good, then do so. You've already said three or four times that you're leaving, but then you post again. When you do this it hurts your overall credibility. People may be more likely to not believe what you're saying.I haven't caught myself up on the threads yet, so I have no knowledge of what's…[Read more]

Jesus tells us who to pray too:Matthew 6:9 (NASB)This, then, is how you should pray: ” 'Our Father in heaven hallowed be your nameHere Jesus differentiates between himself and the Father:Mark 10:17-18 (NASB)As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal…[Read more]

This New Year's I was gathered with other believers as we prayed into the new year.How evil.

Sound painful. I'll keep praying for you.I just read the first chapter of a book. The chapter showed the uncompromising belief of the three Jewish provincal governors under Nebuchanazzar. We should be like that.Anyway, I felt bad because I haven't discussed any of this with my family or believing co-workers, etc. Pray that I can have the words to…[Read more]

Great find of the passage of the tree, Eliyah. I knew many idols were cut out of wood, but I didn't know that trees themselves could be idols. It makes you wonder why there are gifts at the bottom of the tree.Anyway, though the origins of the holiday are clear, I believe we shouldn't make judgements on brother who celebrate Christmas unknowing of…[Read more]

I was also wondering about this topic and I have to agree here. Throughout the Bible we can clearly see those in marriage just had sex, not worrying about whether or not that could “afford” the child or not.I am also an American, and I have to agree with the matieralism. So many people want new things constantly. For example (to those not in the…[Read more]

k4c brings up a good point that I've been wondering about myself. Why did Jesus' disciples carry swords in the first place? Were there any dangerous animals in the area at the time? Is there a broader Greek/Aramaic definition of the word translated to “sword?”Also, I know they're many people who beleive that anyone in the military is a sinner. But…[Read more]

The Hebrew word nepesh is used as “creature” in Gen. 1:21: And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.Later, we see the word nephesh used as breath life:Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man…[Read more]

Quote (soxan @ Nov. 19 2005,23:51)thats it t8 run away like you all ways do.So t8's a coward for refering to another thread to keep this one on topic?

The person who wrote the writings on the site is t8, who runs the site.Why don't you share with us why you believe that?God Bless

https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=3;t=399Let's try to keep things in one thread. We really don't need three different threads for one subject.

I'm glad to hear Nick is doing well. Eliyah, I hope and pray that you get better. Yahweh bless you.

This is a helpful site: http://www.porn-free.orgThe number one tip I can give you is to seek God-always. Ask Him for help when you feel tempted.

I'm a recovering porn addict. I realized that sex isn't the culprit, but lust. The Song of Solomon is about sex. There is nothing wrong with sex, but there is something wrong with lust.Lust is different from love. Once you recognize the differences between the two and the forms of sex associated with lust, mastrubation loses it's appeal. I still…[Read more]

Point taken. But who says there are no gifts for him?I've also been told that the “true Christmas” would be in September, because if his birth was in winter, the animals would be at the lowest level of the dwelling, allowing heat to rise throughout the dwelling. Is this true?
