Will America Be Destroyed

\\And do not try to tell me that Thomas Jefferson was not a Christian I have all his writings and can prove that he was. ---exzucuh on 11/20/09\\ Among your Jeffersonia do you have his so-called Jefferson Bible--the NT with all the references to the divinity and miracles of Jesus excised? Or where he wrote that the Virgin Birth of Jesus was as ridiculous as the birth of Minerva from the head of Jupiter?

Will America Be Destroyed

\\The Declaration of Independence was a prayer to God We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress,Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,\\ And is this deity invoked here the God of Christianity, Who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Or a generic To Whom It May Concern entity believed in by Deists, Unitarians, and Masons?

Am I Part Of The Remnant
	"Remnant" is not a word used by the Lord Jesus Christ anywhere in the Gospels.

Is Pretending Considered Lying
	\\I was sure you responded to someones's inquiry (who also thought you were a male)saying you were female and "Cluny" was a nickname you'd had for many years.\\ Cluny is the name of my very cute and affectionate calico kitty. She herself was named for a famous monastery in France.

Fort Hood Terrorism Attack
	\\ Please do not refer to the fraudulent document posted by a left wing website. I am refering specifically to the one sealed in Hawaii. WHY? \\ How do you know there is a BC sealed in Hawaii unless you yourself have seen it? If you've seen it, what are you complaining about? Finally, are you willing to publish your own BC? Remember, you have to be willing to do what you demand of others.

The Hour Of Temptation

\\ The NIV translated it this way "you have kept My commmandments to endure patiently". The New English Bible translates it this way "You kept My commandments and stood fast". The ISV translates it this way "because you obeyed my commands to endure". The RSV translates it "because you have kept my word of patient endurance". and the NLT trnalates it this way "because you have obeyed my command to persevere". Get the idea?\\ Yes, and most of these seem to be paraphrases of the original Greek.

Will America Be Destroyed
	\\As Millions laugh and watched Larry Davies show on HBO while he urinated on the face of Jesus, yet the so called 200 millon "Christains" did nothing, said nothing. No boycott, no HBO cancellations. NADA!\\ As a matter of fact, there were a lot of complaints made to HBO, by snail mail, e-mail, and telephone.

Gifts Of Healing Flowing
	\\ Kathleen, Go lay your tingling hands on an amputee,quadriplegic, down syndrome etc. and see what happens\\ Would a post-op cataract patient's implants pop out as a new lens regenerated? How about missing tonsils, appendixes, or gall bladders?

Are Internet Churches Biblical
	\\ "Since an "internet church" can't perform any of the functions of a real church, an internet church is clearly NO CHURCH AT ALL!" ---Cluny on 11/18/09 Some people believe only a "real" church can offer salvation.\\ This, of course, is a twisted parody of what I was saying.

Another Great Depression Coming

\\ If you really believe we're headed for a depression Precious Metals makes even more sense. \\ To drag strangers into the conversation, Someone greater than anybody who posts to these blogs said, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and thieves break in and steal. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, so that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." He also told a little story about a man who thought he had all the stuff he needed stored up for many years. Anyone remember the punch line?

Will America Be Destroyed
	This question assumes that America has some sort of special spiritual significance. Why do you make this assumption?

Healed Us By His Stripes
	Many words in the Bible are used metaphorically, especially in prophecies. This clearly refers to being healed of our sins and their major consequence: alienation from God.

Is Pretending Considered Lying
	\\For example, you cannot be both a female with the nickname "Cluny" and an orthodox monk for 30 yrs. I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you have claimed both. Will you please clarify this, so I won't think you are lying?\\ I never said I was a woman. Where did you get that idea, Donna?

Gifts Of Healing Flowing
	It is GOD who gives the gift of healing to the sick. He does not give this gift to you, but to those who need it. It's nothing you can nurture.

Meet-Ups In Houston Texas

\\I was trying to be optimistic that the folks who want to get together (remnant) are looking for committed believes, and nothing more. I do suggest that many people who go to "church" are not very committed to Christ. Althought, that's God's business, not mine.\\ In other words, you are looking for people who are up to the same rarefied exalted spiritual level you believe yourself to be. As you yourself has said, that's God's business to decide, not yours. I really doubt you can see into other people's hearts to determine their level of commitment.

\\Hopefully, the orignal goal of the remenant getting together with other committed believers was the ultimate aim without meaning to insult other follows of Christ. ---Rod4Him on 11/18/09\\ And are you assuming that others who don't want to join up with you are not committed followers of Christ? || Putting the faithful Remnant in perspective it is a nonelite group,sold out to God through Jesus.|| Darlene1, is this to say that those who do not like the prideful self-conferred moniker "remnant" are not sold out to God through Christ? I think that God Himself knows best who constitute His "remnant"--whom the Bible consistently identifies as Jews.

Husband Trains A Female

\\appears as if your husbands single female "trainee" should seek out a professional certified fitness trainer\\ It has not yet been determined that the poster's husband is in fact NOT a certified professional trainer, Rhonda. She has not said. Seems to me that were he not one, but were using this for as a cover for less than honorable activities, he would not be telling his wife up front that he's at the gymn with her 3 days a week. And the original poster has not said HOW late her husband is out, or if there is anyone else at the gymn at this time. In the absence of further information from an unbiased source, charity requires we put the best light on this situtation.

Are Internet Churches Biblical
	See my reply to a similar question below about so-called cyber chuches. It's just another name for the same thing. Since an "internet church" can't perform any of the functions of a real church, an internet church is clearly NO CHURCH AT ALL!

The Hour Of Temptation
	\\ Jesus does not say do this and I will give this to you. No, Jesus says BECAUSE you have kept the word of my patience, I will keep you from the hour of testing. \\ So, what is the "word of [Christ's] patience?" Please give book, chapter, and verse in your answer where He said EXACTLY what this "word" was.

Meet-Ups In Houston Texas
	This whole business of claiming to be part of a "faithful remnant" is nothing more than the ancient heresy of Gnosticism. The Gnostics, too, thought they had a secret "IT" that was not given to the ordinary believer in Christ.
