Should Pastor Know What You Give
	---Molly_Stanz you have fallen in to a den of merchandisers. Church shopping sounds like a wonderful idea. Should you tell the church how you feel? You can but of course it probably would do no good and I do not believe they will ever change. Those who are in pastoral position(s) in this church are hardly keepers of the flock!!!!!

Will America Be Destroyed
	A little history. Many believe Christopher Columbus to have been Jewish. The Jewish people were being driven out of Spain at this very time. Some writers believe that Christopher Columbus was looking for a homeland for his people the Jews. Was he a Roman Catholic? A wise man says "when in Rome do as the Romans do"

Blotted Out Of Book Of Like
	What is your opinion concerning this question? Is there a difference between "the book of life" and "lambs book of life"

No Crying In Heaven

God bless you Donna Because you are saved death will be like an open door to you. You will go through and be joined(in knowledge and spirit) with the Lord Jesus Christ. you will take your place among the voices that are praising the Lord Jesus Christ in continual praise. Also you will have open, complete insight to the things of this world. You will understand as God understands and there will be no reason for human tears to be shed. All the bumps in your memory(things that did not go right at the time) will all be smoothed out. I'm 72 and when I get there I will look you up!! Again God bless you Donna!!

Demon Jumped On Me

I walk with a cane. I have a friend who travels back and forth to Asia. Recently he brought me a very fancy handcarved cane. Immediately upon looking on the cane I knew that somehow some way it contained evil. I refused to use the cane and think it was sold in a garage sale.---- I also agree with what has been written concerning praying and speaking about the Lord's blood to free ourselves of demonic influences.

Why Stay In Church

Yesterday a person visited me who has the following idea. It is his contention that the closer a person gets to God in their worship and praise and praying the farther away they will get from the denominational church. Several of my friends have experienced being pushed out of their particular churches, and these churches are of all denominations, and for the young and beginning soulwinner can be very worrisome troubling and confusing.

How Do You Repent
	Another thing that I'm trying to find out about repentance is-where in the story of the woman at the well is there any repentance mentioned? Or where is there an act of repentance described in this story?

Witness To Exchange Student
	Here's an interesting fact concerning exchange students. 85% of all Chinese exchange students(who hear the gospel message) receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior after leaving China.

Was Melchizedek Jesus

"Christ is no longer physical ...He was CHANGED to spirit becoming the first fruits of MANY". Does this statement by Rhonda agree with this following verses from the Bible? Luke 24:37-38-39-40, "37-But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38-And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39-Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40-And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

Holy Spirit Tingles Inside

As we approach the 75 comment limit on a blog I have went back and read all the replies to this original post. And I must say at the very least it makes interesting reading. People quickly exposed themselves and I dare say really have no idea they are doing so. Open ridicule is not new but ridicule that crosses the line of just disagreement and becomes viciously hostile for no known reason other than the gospel being proclaimed is really selfdegrading.

Holy Spirit Tingles Inside

---tom2 I would miss your post very much and I so hope you will reconsider. Don't be concerned when they make fun of me or call me names I have perfect peace. Long before I ever wrote on Christianet I spent much time in prayer about my witnessing. I asked the Lord many times about my witnessing I have never encountered any objections from the Holy Spirit, humans yes, almost constantly they degrade what I'm doing and openly make fun of me. It is my prayer for these people the Lord would be merciful to them and forgive them of the ridicule. The Lord knows I'm not much but when the Holy Spirit prompts me I'm going to move and to me moving means winning souls.

Will America Be Destroyed

Some people say America will be destroyed if we fail to recognize that we must have complete military victory over our enemies, our enemies of Islamic origin. Without question our failure to respond, when attacked on 9/11, adequately makes the above scenario possibility thinking. Certainly globalization will bring about the downfall of America economically and if this is so along with our inability to act militarily we are doomed for sure.

Another Great Depression Coming

---alan8566_of_uk alan I have been in your country and I was sorely disappointed by what I found. As a shopkeeper nation she chose to take advantage of all those nations which she could control. On the contrary the United States has generally helped the general population of each nation that we have controled. I think of Japan, Korea, Philippines and Mexico because of the proximity of the U.S.A.. China, I spent six months there, could easily help by simply rearranging their exchange rate but they will not do this and I encountered much hatred, jealousy, and much envy of the United States among the educated people.

Will America Be Destroyed

America will be destroyed as concerns her influence in the world. Holiness is required of the individual believer not the nations. And that Holiness require of the individual believer can only be obtained by the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ being imputed to you and me. Revelation 15:4 says,"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? FOR THOU ONLY ART HOLY: for all nations shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest." Because only Christ is holy, if we become holy we will necessarily have to get our Holiness from him.

Healed Us By His Stripes

I agree with Donna that your question uncovers a problem in understanding. I tend to agree with the faith healers but I have seen very very little results that would verify what they believe. I am of the opinion that my ignorance of the simplicity of God's Word keeps me from being an effective healer. I am at a complete loss as to the solution. Also I'm open to advice. I would however want the person giving me advice to have qualifying results.

Holy Spirit Tingles Inside
	How does this statement, "NO TRUTH in "soul winning" Christ said MANY would come in HIS NAME and MANY would call his name and would be FAR FROM HIM " ---Rhonda on 11/18/09 Measure up with this verse from the Bible" Proverbs 11:30,"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that winneth souls is wise."

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. These same people believe in sacraments you pick the number) and rituals that grant the participant salvation. The Gospel message is very difficult to find in these "real" churches. Consequently most gain entrance to these "real" churches by birth not conversion.

Gifts Of Healing Flowing

First I praise God for using you. That which is working does not need nurturing. Not only do people speak of tingling they also speak of a warmth which flows over their bodies. Often they describe it as if someone were pouring warm milk over them. I admire your courage to openly state what has happened. And am so thankful for the Lord's work through you. Remember that God's gift or without repentance that is the gift will never be taken back, God is no Indian giver!!!

Another Great Depression Coming

The moderator is correct however I would go farther. I see on the horizon(1-2 years) a depression that goes beyond the depression of the 1930s. It's inconceivable that we can escape the coming storm. I truly believe that not only a great depression is coming with that we will see actual hunger(greater than ever before) in this country. Having traveled around over some of the world and seen their attitudes rest assured no one will come to the aid of America. The hounds of greed have caught the rabbit of plenty and they will eat up all their own substance.

Mother Is A Confirmed Atheist

---Nana wrote "Because jody's mom have such tender heart for the "forefathers" and the ancient people who believed in the God of creation, she will someday speak face to face with God and she will have her place with Him." Nana here you give a perfect description of works! Bible has this to say about works! "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." "Not of works, lest any man should boast."
