If you are Armianist answer me this: If as you say, fallen sinful man can seek God out of their sinful condition before their hearts are regenerated by the Holy Spirit, why does the Bible say no one seeks God? You say faith then regeneration, but doesn't the Bible teach regeneration then faith? It is only as a mans heart is regenerated that he is then able to seek God, but not before as you claim.

There's a sucker born every minute. -- P. T. Barnum
Test everything. Retain what is good. -- St. Paul, 1Thessalonians 5:21.
It happened that one of the Twelve, Thomas, was absent when Jesus came. The other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord!" His answer was, "I will never believe it without probing the nail-prints in his hands, without putting my finger in the nail-marks, and my hand into his side." A week later the disciples were once more in the room, and this time Thomas was with them. Despite the locked doors, Jesus came and stood before them. "Peace be with you," he said, and then to Thomas: "Take your finger and examine my hands. Put your hand into my side. Do not persist in your unbelief, but believe." Thomas said in response: "My Lord and God." Jesus then said to him, "You became a believer because you saw me. Blessed are they who have not seen and have believed." John 20:26-29.

If you are an Armianists answer me this: If as you say, Jesus died for everyone and is trying to save everyone, yet he knows who will ultimately end up in heaven, why then is Jesus trying to save those he knows will NOT end up in heaven? Seems he is waisting his time because he cannot change what he sees in the future. If they are not there in the future nothing he does to try to save them now is going to make a difference.

How can you honestly believe that the people who wrote the letters of the bible really heard God talk? Doesn't God say that man is a sinner and always will be? We can never be as God. So why then do you usually quote the Bible to answer these questions from those who don't believe the Bible was dictated by God? When you do not even know if the person that wrote any of the words in the bible really heard God how can you believe everything that is written in the Bible? How can you quote the Bible when you don't know for sure if the person writing it was even SANE? He could have heard voices (like the quacks today who kill their kids because God or Satan told them to), and what you are believing is pure Nut Stuff. And please this is an honest question, I really want to know your answers, so don't use the old cop out of "faith". That doesn't answer any question, it just lets you slide by in life.

I've had a few encounters with psychics which were a bit of a let down - they came out with lots of names etc which meant nothing to me and information which was not accurate.
Derek Acorah (we saw him live in Cardiff in 2004) guessed my name without me telling him and told me a lot of stuff about my family, but some of it has turned out to be inaccurate when I checked it with my mum. He said I'd meet a guy called Mark from Pontypool and we'd have twin girls. Well I met MIKE from Gillingham in Kent and we're having a baby boy. So umm a bit wrong there . . .
But a spiritual healer who I saw earlier this year was fantastic - she worked on my infertility and I got pregnant that month for the very first time in my life after trying for many years and being told I'd need IVF!
So I really want to beleive it.
What do you all think?!?

I am fighting with sAtAn-because I believe Your God is a coward and that he created evil and tried tto blame it on his creation SATAN-he admittedly is a jealous God and He made Lucifer Beautiful and then burns him-he reigns in Heaven surrounding himself with monsters (just read Revelations to see what you will be facing judgement day) and therefore I find in SATANS favor as would the courts of Law here in The United States-all you have to prosecute SATAN is heresey and nothing tangible-not one eye witness to the account that was described by a prejudiced assembly that had a gun called HELL pointed to their heads-In our courts a man is innocent until proven guilty and I would like to know what the charge against SATAN is-what evil did he commit-who did he kill-his crime was to want to be God u say? I guess I have been guilty of that offense-He deceived Eve you say-What if he told her to jump off a bridge? Sorry, by my intuitive and intelligent mind I find SATAN "NOT GUILTY" & God wrong

Luke 18:15-17
When the disciples saw people bringing their babies to Jesus, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
What is it about the children coming to Jesus that touches us deeply. Perhaps it is our sense of security - we ourselves feel like little children before him. Yet, now that we are, relatively speaking, high rollers we tunnel vision from an adult standpoint. What does Jesus mean to teach his disciples from this incident?
In Luke the context bespeaks humility. The preceding passage was the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector [or what have you in our modern world] which Jesus concludes with the words: "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" (18:14b). [is one exalted more by using the highest tech weaponry ever conceived; while on the other hand, forbidding others the same right lest the other shoot you down from your caterpillar pillar?] Here's what follows:
They brought Babies to the Master. Remember its the same master who told Peter to lay down his sword for the Word was the true sword.
The practice of bringing children to the elders for a prayer of blessing upon them occured on the evening of the Day of Atonement.
Jesus would, with great joy, scoop them up and pray for them. When Jesus did this once, other parents saw it and came down toward the front. They wanted this for their children, too, for their children were often with them in the audience.
But the disciples would have none of it. Jesus was about important business -- teaching and healing. They couldn't allow this work to be interrupted by mere children constantly running up. They began to stop the little children, and tell off the parents in no uncertain terms.
This question of how children were viewed in Jesus' culture is important - children were viewed as unimportant in Palestine in Jesus' day. Now consider a previous incident in this biblical makeup.
"An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all -- he is the greatest." (Luke 9:46-48)
The principle of the innocence of children is alien to the Old Testament. The original sin... an eye for an eye... True, children were not held responsible for sin even up to nine years of age, but the concept of the evil impulse is there from conception or birth.
In Scripture, not until the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 14:20) does the idea of children's innocence even appear [the sting of the Old Law and the vengeful God]. And in Paul and other epistles, a much more common theme is that of the immaturity and inferiority of the child (1 Corinthians 3:1; 13:11; 14:20; Galatians 4:1, 3; Ephesians 4:14; Hebrews 5:13; 1 Peter 2:1-2), following the view of "foolishness" bound up in the heart of a child (Proverbs 22:15; 29:15).
Though children were prized by parents - they were largely ignored as unimportant - not worthy of much adult attention outside the family.
"But Jesus called the children to him and said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.' " (18:16)
Now, given this, would the Jesus of the Second Coming become more turned on by the hi tech craft and how well we can preserve it from the world of have-nots [who of course have the vast majority of children, even the poor humble immigrant whether they be Romanina, Hispanic, Hindu or Moslem has proportionally more baby marvels than the solid state childless Westerner who prides himself in firewalls, patents, and all other goodies his Big Brother will provide. But not conceive...(?)
