Topical….some interesting quotes from Nick above. Stu, I bumped this for you as it relates to hope and faith.Perhaps others will want to contribute as to the hope they have in Christ Jesus? And what that hope means?

I believe, convienently or not, the laws for such behavior were given after the boat.

Quote (Stu @ Nov. 25 2007,16:56)Does faith overcome social exclusion?Jesus thought so. His boys thought so. I dare say, everyone on this board would say so.Most Christians would take this “social exclusion” to the test by saying they would die for their faith. Many in our history already have.

I guess it's because they know what is at risk according to the faith.

Quote (Laurel @ Nov. 25 2007,16:37)Even they had laws against sleeping with their parents.Not in the beginning they didn't. That didn't come until later.

Oh, I didn't know that they didn't believe in the Trinity and then went back to this belief. Interesting.We don't have a WWC in our area that I am aware of? It sounds like a huge church? Wasn't Wierwille or something like that the head of this organization to begin with?

Quote (942767 @ Nov. 25 2007,10:20)This is a public forum where I do believe that they should be able to come and ask questions as long as they follow the rules.  I do not believe that any one should be able to come on this site whose purpose is to insult our God or our Lord.  In my opinion this should be one of the rules of conduct.This has b…[Read more]

Quote (Towshab @ Nov. 25 2007,01:31)Moses was called upon to deliver YHVH's people from bondage.Of course God also had other jobs for Mo to do for the people.He also was in charge of setting up the Tent and worship rules and regs.  He was also in charge of appointing those who would receive and offer-up the sacrifices to the Almighty.  All of t…[Read more]

What was the WWC wrong about that you left them?What are they right about now that you have returned to them?

Irene,I can certainly understand your frustration. However, “defending our faith” is partially what we are called to do as Christians. That, and to love one another (this command does not specify, by the way, whether or not we are to withhold our love from non-confessing-Christ believer's). But I suppose even this could be argued. As far as…[Read more]

Quote (acertainchap @ Nov. 25 2007,04:14)If peoples' faith is influenced by things Stu and Tow, say, then there wasn't much of a foundation to begin with.I realize this isn't the proper forum to bring this part up, but I just couldn't help but comment on this by Chap.After hearing from some who are on this site and some potential memebers to this…[Read more]

Quote (Laurel @ Nov. 24 2007,17:23)I know of a cat that lives in a nursing home. It senses when a patient is dying. The cat goes to the room, curls up on the bed, and stays there until the person is gone. The people at the nursing home know now to call in the family when the cat refuses to leave the side of the patient.mMy sister runs an…[Read more]
