Surely we have enough control over ourselves to search for compassion within our own hearts, before we hurt others?

Is it really too difficult to love those who hurt us?

How can I go to hell for sinning if Jesus died for my sins? Would that mean that Jesus died in vain? (Please don't take this as an insult, I'm just curious)

Around 1986 or so, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland began to deviate from their traditional 'health and wealth' teachings, and began to talk about the strangest things......spiritual things that were really 'far out'. It really bothered my spirit. After only a short time of this, they sent out letters to everyone on their mailing list, and asked us all to write and tell them what our opinion was of this new 'revelation' they were teaching about. I wrote them that it was not Scriptural, and that it bothered my spirit. Obviously many others did the same thing, as suddenly they stopped this teaching, and went back to their 'health and wealth' teaching. Do any of YOU remember exactly what they were teaching at that time that was so obviously wrong? Many of us realize their current teachings are out of balance, but I sure wish I could remember what it was back then. Any help???

You ask me why I don't beleive in God, then you give me a bad rating when I give you my answer? I thought Christians were supposed to respect other people's religions, and not force God's will upon people? At least that's what I thought anyway! (My brother's a preacher)

Did you *choose* what you believe? Was it that easy?

Or is it impossible to force yourself to believe something-- either you do or you don't?

old superstitions. Of what value is a religion that tells people what they already know instinctively?

Why? Why not?

OK so, say God sent his only begotten son down from Heaven to teach people how they are meant to live their lives. Obviously the old testament is kind of outdated by that: yes or no... and all the other dudes in New Testament ~ the one's that wrote about how we should all live.. all that smiting, hatred and condemnation and exclusion just doesn't seem right... so why would I trust a word of what they a have to say?

When the national ID system is renacted inside the bodies of human beings on the hand or forehead, a leader of indescribable brutality will appear. His all-seeing, all-controlling quest will make the combined depravities of Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan - all of whom were types of the Antichrist - look like child's play.

According to many scholars, a prerequisite for his appearing is a national - and finally a global - ID system, beneath which national boundaries will dissolve and economies from around the world will operate.

Without this future ID, nobody will "buy or sell, save he that has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" according to Revelation 13:17.

"In the wake of the calamitous events of September 11, Rep. Nancy L. Johnson (R., Conn.) suggested a national ID using fingerprints or retinal scans. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) reportedly support[ed] the idea. And in the hallowed halls of Harvard, self-described civil libertarian Alan Dershowitz proposed a "voluntary" card, with a chip that matches the holder's fingerprints

It took me three days to find peace with God. I was surprised, and even frightened when I realized that we can't just say God forgive me and, poof, be forgiven.It don't always work that way folks.I wish it did, but when we repent we have to really mean it.Would you have a testimony that would support this as well?

As a teenager I always imagined dying like so many do in a car wreck.I figured that I would go ahead and have my fun and as I was slipping away I would just asked God to forgive me, and find myself in heaven.I know that there might be that exception, but don't bet your salvation on it.

God admired (HIS) it's important that God is male, creations but they werent writers or church builders, even though they had millions of years to evolve into. God got frustrated, (and don't say HE does'nt cuz there's all kinds of text that says he does) and sends a space chunk to wipe out his creations well at least the big ones. This HE hoped would give the mammels a chance to evolve into writing church builders, HE was frustated again when it took 65 meellion yrs. But we can only hope that HE'S happy now, because if HE'S not ,we all know what HE'S cappable of. Now I want you all to notice answers of the christians who believe in evolution and the ones who don't. And don't let the crickets get my Question, be strong christian's and straighten me out. Who knows it's Sunday and it could be possible to prostylatze and have a new holy warrior.

To liken Jesus to a stronghold is to ascribe to him a number of characteristics that are vital to our salvation. First and foremost is his unassailableness. Christ proved himself to be morally unconquerable.

Jeremiah celebrated this truth when he wrote" "Their redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land" (Jerimiah 50:34).

Christ made himself vulnerable in this world. He became invulnerable throughout the universe. He became assailable in time in order to be unassailable throughout eternity. He allowed himself to be unprotected while dying so that we might be protected while living.

Christ is our impregnable stronghold.

" The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man-upright and in right standing with God-runs into it and is safe, high and strong". -----Proverbs 18:10

when a you a problem? I talk to my Imam (like a priest or rabbi for those of you who don't know what an Imam is). When I have a problem, just by talking to him, makes me feel happy and whatever the problem is, it seems to become so small. God bless him, he is a very dear person to me.
Is there a person in your life that you turn to, who makes you feel better and cheers you up when you have a problem?

What was the point of God making people sinful? Why couldn't he have created all good in the world in the first place instead of evil people too? Why go through all that trouble making Jesus for the purpose of forgiving their sins? Just make humans with no sin!! It's that simple!! If he can do it of course. I'm not saying he can. This is part of why I am in between religions. Cuz a lot of this doesn't make any sense.

We are admonished to test the spirits behind folk's actions. We are to judge a tree by its fruit. I want to know what kind of fruit certain people bear......what kind of spirit is behind their 'ministry'.....these people are Benny Hinn and Richard Roberts, Pat Robertson, Kenneths Copeland and Hagin Jr. What say you ???

Jesus our true God is comeing back soon. No one knows when. Only God knows when. Thats why you need to get your heart right with Jesus. You never know when He will come or if something happens to you before that happens. Praying for the lost!

If Joseph Smith was a deceiver, who willfully attempted to mislead the people, then he should be exposed; his claims should be refuted, and his doctrines shown to be false, for the doctrines of an impostor cannot be made to harmonize in all particulars with divine truth.

D. of S. Vol. 1, p. 188
