I keep hearing about this "personal relationship with God" and "walking with Jesus" thing that everyone should have... how is that any different than an imaginary friend?

Just To Lighten the Day! Funny Isn't It?


Forrest Gump goes to Heaven




The day finally arrived.

Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by
St. Peter himself.
However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said,
"Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot
about you.
I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we
have been administering
an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have
to pass it before you can get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir.
But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the
test ain't too hard.
Life was a big enough test as it was."

St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three
questions.

First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?

Second: How many seconds are there in a year?

Third: What is God's first name?"

Forrest leaves to think the questions over.

He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says,
"Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me
your answers"

Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week
begins with the letter "T"?

Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."

The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not
what I was thinking, but you do
have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit
for that answer.

How about the next one?" asked St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?

Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about
that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's
name could you come up with twelve
seconds in a year?"

Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd,
February 2nd, March 2nd.. "

"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this,
and I see your point,though that was not quite
what I had in mind.... but I will have to give you credit for that one,
too.

Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's
first name"?

"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."

"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter. "Ok, I can
understand how you came up with your
answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you
come up with the name Andy as the first name of
God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt
it from the song,


"ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."

I refuse to be tolerant of everyone because it will get you in trouble and you will be a fool to do it. All people are really saying is except everything I do no matter if it is right or wrong.I am a Christian and we are not taught by Christ to tolerate everything, that is what the world thinks. If I offended anyone go ahead and ***** but that is the way it is. Real Christians know it too. Love your neighbor but also discern

Your birthright is to think and say what resides in your heart. A cultural War is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable thoughts and speech are mandated.... Some refer to it as Political Correctness......You must be the change you wish to see in the World...

Does asking for divine forgiveness eliminate the earthly consequences for your decisions? And if not, why? If your sins are forgiven, why would god make you responsible for the consequences here but not hold you responsible in the afterlife?

Has anyone ever had a pet squirel.......how do I tame it? Does it go to the vet? What do I do.


And what does this scripture mean...
Mat 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Is there reward to come? Or is the fact that they are showing themselves and others see them, is others seeing them there only reward?


anyway had to make it a R&S .........DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS A SQUIREL?

Hebrews 6:4-8
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
f they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame

2nd try on this one tonight.

I will agree with the fundementalists that if the Bible was indeed inspired by God, it should be perfect.

Leviticus 11:20... All flying insects that walk on all FOURS are to be detestable to you.
21... There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all FOURS that you may eat: those that have jounted legs for hopping on the ground.
22... Of these you may eat of any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.
23... But all other winged creatures that have FOUR legs you are to detest.

Since when do insects have four legs?

Before you reply back that crickets and grasshoppers have 4 legs for creeping and 2 more for hopping, I urge you to go watch one walk... they creep on all 6.

ok so i have a pretty good relationship with God. He is actually my best friend. He guides to the right choices. but anyway, on friday at lunch i asked Him if i could eat a regular meal (because i had been fasting for about 6 weeks) He said that it's my choice to make. he said do i want to eat and risk getting off path or not eat and continue to have a deep connection with Him. i chose to eat, but i promised Him i wouldn't partake in any negative or/and ungodly conversation. i sadly broke our covenant about 2-4 times that day. what do you think about my situation?
