Kathi,For the most part I can agree with it except for the use of the word Catholic (I know Catholic means universal but I like to be clear that Church is the body of believers scattered about, and not tied to any organization).Wm

Kathi,I believe I was given a revelation that God, is a title to an “office”, not a name. That there is only one true God; the Father, He is the source of/for everything. He is best understood as being like our soul, embodying self (God in this case), exerting His will over His corporeal extension (Christ the future begotten Son). So just as a hum…[Read more]

As God works in our life He reveals truth to us at the appropriate time. Early in my relationship with God He showed me that many, if not most, Christians set their doctrine on an extreme of a pendulums swing, but truth is found in the balance. I remember when I first encountered that the teaching of the trinity was false, I ran from it. But years…[Read more]

No problem

Sorry Ed,No punch-line, it is a passive ending to a funny story I had heard years ago. When I did a search for a clean version of it, this was the best I could find, most versions end with “no comment from judge #3” in other words he was out of the picture, passed out, catatonic…

Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off the original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides they told me I could…[Read more]

I believe it is closer to the next verse: 13 And those upon the rock who, when they hear , receive and welcome it with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation fall away (withdraw and stand aloof).

I disagree, I thought the bit about how “Christians” are lulled to sleep by the placebo of limited knowledge, with no relationship required, pretty well sums up “Christianity” today.

Mike,Congratulations on your open attitude, 3 years after placing my faith in what God did through His Son I shared that same hunger and searched through all the scriptures to establish sound doctrine. Guess what 30 years later I still have not found all truth, despite having made changes to my beliefs every year (some major) so all I'm trying to…[Read more]

My oldest son made it to 4th grade in public school and they wanted to put him on Ritalin, after much prayer we chose instead to home school him. By the time he completed college he graduated with a 4.0 gpa and nearly all of his teachers spoke highly of him and his maturity. We're confident not putting him on drugs was one of our better decisions…[Read more]

InterestingThanks Ed

Thanks T8, I could not figure out how to post the video in the thread (is there instructions somewhere on how to do it?)

Quote (TimothyVI @ Aug. 24 2012,18:55)That is just silly seekingtruth.Pointing out that someone is continually lying does not make the person pointing it out a liar.

Where was my “platitude” in the above discussion?
