Quote (david @ Nov. 26 2012,11:04)I suggest we invite lighten up into our inner circle, because she seems to have complimented me in this post.Definitely, if we convert to the Binity.Would certainly be a requirement that a person believed in one God the Father as stated in scripture. Jesus as the son of that God, who was made Lord, and Messiah by…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Nov. 26 2012,07:13)Ahhhh…depending on who is 'invited,' this could be the beginnings of the HN cybercult directed by a fearless leader, i.e. 'Super Moderator.' Would there be an initiation ceremony? How about levels to achieve?Not at all. But if you are willing to donate 20% of your income, then you can join.

These are the extremes david because might not include believers who are not pharisees too.The idea is to create a space where more mature believers can share their views and experiences. For example, I would like to share stuff that God has done in my life, but I do not do that here because of some here, I feel it would be casting pearls before…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 25 2012,20:40)t8, I believe it is mostly a matter of perception.  I'm also certain that if it was measured, it would be found that you have significantly more dopamine in your brain.So what. Even if I did, it would still prove nothing except that I would be at lesser risk of Parkinson's disease.If I was deeply in love then you…[Read more]

david you believe that because you are into magic and see how it works and at the same time you have never had an experience/vision from God. So your judgement is completely based on your own very limited experience of reality.For you to be fair given your own perception, by all rights you should also conclude that John was never taken up and…[Read more]

Yes there is a problem when you use the old and now deprecated font tag. It seems to drop the closing font tag which is annoying. You are best to use iBcode which is even easier. I will give you an example and put in a space so the code is not executed.Instead of this Use this:This will be red if you removed all the spaces. Also no speech marks…[Read more]

Not bragging or anything, but I just made post 12345. Ed J, how long will it be before I make post 123456?Ten times as much, (one hundred years)

Quote (david @ Nov. 24 2012,07:48)Quote You seem to be teaching us that “magic tricks” aren't really “magic” – but most of us here already accept that.  Where you're going wrong is by trying to prove to us that certain encounters with real demons that some of us have had are also just simple “magic tricks” – carried out by our own deluded minds.I…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 24 2012,08:45)We only need one experience that is impossible by human means for me to believe.  Just one.  It's easy to find thousands that mean nothing.I have been blessed to have had that many that I couldn't even tell you exactly how many.I had a flatmate many years ago and I told him some of the experiences I had.

To me this forum has a niche in the Body of Christ because it challenges all things and it takes all types to create all things. And obviously not all is of God and this forum allows all to speak freely within guidelines that try to keep everything smooth and easy to find.I was talking about a completely different place similar perhaps to…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Nov. 25 2012,02:25)To run from truth seems to be the status quo of the religious mindset.The very denominationalism you proclaim yourself to be against is now what you seek to establish, yet you are too blind to see it.When truth hits home, the natural reaction is to ‘kill the messenger’.”These things have I(Jesus) spoken unto you…[Read more]

Apes Have Midlife Crises, TooStu, according to National Geographic, apes can have a midlife crises just like humans.Apes like you have much in common with us humans than perhaps many realise. Not sure if daffodils get it, but they too share quite a bit of DNA code like us too. Not as much of course.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news….animals

I should also mention that I didn't have in mind that some would move over, but that some would have access to discuss things without hindrance from thing like ignorance, preconceived ideas above truth, denominational works etc. We would all discuss here too and this would remain. I am not about to trash this forum ever. There has been a lot of…[Read more]
