I find it nauseating when I see the word of God handled so deceitful and promiscuously.I have decided to take a stand.I have been on Yahoo for a very short time now,but my eye's have been openned.No wonder the world looks at the christian realm the way they do. I will rebuke all man made doctrines, so if it's not in the Bible don't say it.If you can't find it well start reading.To the true and faithful I covet your prayers.How many are willing to share in this and start speaking the truth , BY THE WORD OF GOD ? Will you set iddily by or stand up for Jesus ?

I like the experment offered by johnocrea on santa claus.There was a time that I was worried about if santa was watching or not because I did beieve in him.Why ? Because I seen the presents under the tree. When I am obedient to God and walk in the truth of His word,I find presents under my tree.This increases my faith and causes me to believe in God.When I refuse to obey I fall flat on my face.It would be easy to say there must not be a God,but He isn't the one to blame,I am.There are so many hypocrites today that it's causing many not to believe in God and this needs to change.Christians are to live a life were others want what they have,but their being disobedient and God will not bless that.Read Hosea 4:6

lives7,You have to have the truth before you can share the truth and all you have to offer is man made fables.

I agree with you 100%. Many of the Christians that post questions and answer them are giving true Christians a bad name, and they are giving much credit by doing so to those that Are controlled directly by Satan, the Devil. I do not believe in any of the doctrines of man, if the Bible does not say it then I personally do not want to hear it. And this might mean going back to the original scriptures to find the truth, since some, if not most, of today's Bibles have been changed to suit certain religions and groups. I myself find it hard to believe that Yahoo allows some questions to be posted, they are very offensive and do not have any regards for the only and true God, the one who made all of us and causes the sun to rise for the benefit of the righteous as well as them, the wicked. But w,. who are better equipped and who are filled with God's holly spirit must understand that Satan is the ruler of this world right now and he has control over many people, and he will use them as his slaves to try to mislead as many as possible, knowing that his days are numbered-Revelation 7-9; 12. Yes, the true world of God is quite different from what I read on this site, may the undeserved kindness of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ have mercy on those that dishonor their Creator, Jehovah God, and the one He sent forth, Jesus Christ.....KECK

Here's where you're running into difficulties. You are a believer. For you, as for any believer, God is the Reality from which all realities flow, God is the ground of your being. The idea of a universe without God is completely foreign to you, and consequently people who state that they do not believe in God must be lying.
The truth is that there are people who don't believe in God. They sincerely operate in the absence of a belief in God.
Try this experiment: Ask yourself how much you worry about whether Santa is watching you day and night.
Probably not much, and why? Because you don't believe in Santa. Santa is not a real entity to you, although perhaps when you were young, Santa was profoundly real.
Another point to consider perhaps is whether or not Christianity is a "man-made doctrine."
You might also want to check the dictionary for the meaning and spelling of some of the words you use. For example, what do you mean by "promiscuously" when you refer to people handling the word of God? I find that rather baffling.

Where did Jesus command anyone to WRITE anything down?
Bible Alone doctrine is a man made doctrine.
1 Cor 11:2, 2 Thes 2:15, 2 Thes 3:6 I could go further but somehow I do not think you really can stand to hear the Truth of Jesus Christ at this time.
God Bless.

i'm a Pastor for 30 years and that i visit respond to your question about no longer being on my own with a woman. Pastors were arrested and accused of misconduct by women folk who "mandatory to search for suggestion from with the Pastor on my own" for what ever reason both she did not like the answer she were given, or she had a ingredient for the Pastor. I continually make positive that my spouse is with me if a woman asks for a gathering, if executed the right way the Pastor and his spouse is a ministry crew, the spouse of a Pastor (if she is portion of the crew) is there for the ladies and babies to experience tender and for the protection of her husband. yet anybody is responsive to and is conscious that my door is open 24 hours an afternoon, yet in case you're a woman or a baby they are instructed up the front that my spouse (Asawa), "Sister Cathy" will be in the assembly also. A Christian in no way places themselves in an portion of temptation or helps themselves to be placed the position temptation (or lies) might want to occure. As for some thing of your statements, a Christian lady and Christian guy, is responsive to and is conscious that each and each has an section and job, in the orginization set up of God. Angels have their jobs, women folk have theirs and men have theirs.

And how does anyone know what the true word of an imaginary being might be? It cannot be the Bible, for it says that bats are birds. I think creator of all creatures would know the difference between a mammal and a bird!

For the trillionth time, the bible has been translated so much, who says we are getting the REAL word of God and not a translation of a persons on design. People stop being sheep and think for yourselves. It won't kill you to use the Grey matter in your heads.

Romans 8;7
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile towards God; for it does not subject itself to the Law of God; for it is not even able to do so.
1John 5;3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
Isaiah 30;9
for this is a rebellious people, false sons, sons who refuse to listen to the instruction of the Lord.
Isaiah 29;13
Because this people draw near with their words and honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me. And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote......
do you know where your traditions come from? christmas- easter- sunday worship? all from a man- not God. read your Bibles and let Him teach you His ways.

Hi Don
If you are looking to find the true word of God you had better stay as far away from the bible as you can get.
You can't find something by looking where it isn't.

I can find many instances within the bible that condone stoning people. Let's start with rape victims who did not cry out within the city.
Leviticus--all of it's good reading.

I prefer REASON rather than DOGMA. If you want to speak a lot of irrational, superstitious twaddle, then, by all means, go right ahead.
