Holy Spirit Tingles Inside
	JackB, Another "End justifies the means" thinker. This approach is and has always been a problem creator! Bad ethics!

Gifts Of Healing Flowing
	Kathleen, Go lay your tingling hands on an amputee,quadriplegic, down syndrome etc. and see what happens Then see a physician, you may have a medical condition!

Is Pretending Considered Lying
	When Abraham was in danger ,because Abimelech wanted Sarah for his harem,(apparently drop-dead-gorgeous at 65) (remember she was pregnant at 90) He said she's my sister (half truth is a whole lie) Actually he was "misdirecting the enemy" and not a flat out lie! altho a pretense was intended! Lies are evil, misdirecting the enemy is not!

Are You Following Apostasy

Paul, I'm afraid the world has converted the Church! How so? In 3 1/2 years Jesus taught "seek first the Kingdom" and about death and resurrection. Along comes Paul (Pharisee) sets up churches,organizes Deacons,Elders,Pastors and a whole new set of laws and rituals that nearly all of Christendom follow with his "in the body out of the body" belief of the immortal soul(unsubstantiated by scripture) The "Angel of light" None of his prophecies have materialized (go figure) The fox is guarding the hen house!

Holy Spirit Tingles Inside

Mima, Do you not know the scriptures say the parents are responsible for their children's salvation? Usurping parental authority indicates that you believe the end justifies the means,"bad thinking!" Talk will get around that you're a "religious fanatic" and they will avoid your house altogether. If that was my daughter the next knock on the door would be me and I would not be amused! Atheist was right, you crossed the line!

How Did God Make Life
	Adetunji, Since you asked, wind is caused by air moving from high pressure to low. The closer they are together the stronger the wind!

Divorce Over No Sparks
	Troy, Buy her a lighter, I think they're only a buck at 7-11.

Break Off An Engagement
	Holly, I raised 3 daughters and my advice to them was "remember, all men are liars"('till you find out otherwise)

How Did God Make Life

I believe that people do not use the "spirit of a sound mind" when they insist that God hastily created all the intricacies of each creation in a week! What was the hurry? He had a schedule to keep? From the beautiful array of flowers to each vegetable,to microscopic creatures,huge dinosaurs etc... Every aspect of creation shows detailed miracles, like pro-creation of each species, flora and fauna. In a week???? Nah! Each feature was well thought out,even for God!

Meet-Ups In Houston Texas

The term "Remnant" is very familiar to all JWs They believe that the Remnant are the last of the 144,000 remaining on earth, destined for heaven to rule as kings and priests with Christ for the 1,000 yr.period. The rest of believers are simply called "Other Sheep". The Remnant are the only ones who take the bread and wine at Communion (once a year) at Passover! Strange part is only "they" know who they are! They were all supposed to be of the 1914-1918 generation. (that generation is dead) but somehow they still have some "Remnant??" FYI

Judgement Day Happens

Mark V, If you have knowledge of a crime and do nothing about it , you are complicit. If you say God continued with Adam's (man's) creation "knowing" he would sin and His Son would have to be sacrificed is implicating Him in this whole scenario! God would be less than perfect if he orchestrated this! NO ! God fully gave man FREE will too choose, He did not permit Himself to Know. Too hard a job for God?? No way Jose'

Judgement Day Happens
	Rosalie, Very interesting prophecy..I think May 21 2011 is a monday, that may be our long weekend (Victoria Day) holiday.Usually celebrated with fireworks, but now you say God is going to look after that part hmmm! We'll be watching for it Rosalie,but I think we'll skip the part where people usually go up a mountain and wait,too many disappointments in the past!

Is Heaven An Actual Place
	Eloy, "Up" to us is "down" to those in Austrailia, and vice-versa....which way is "Up" Eloy???

Why So Many Denominations

Personally I see denominationalism as " packaged religion" One picks the "package" that best suits his/her belief system! From the quiet conservative bible study group, to the loud boisterous,roll in the aisle,gibberish babbling evangelical...and all those in the specktrum in between! Pick your package! Your chances of picking the right one is like playing Russian roulette with hundreds of loaded chambers and only one blank! Is there truth in there somewhere? Maybe!

How To Speak In Tongues
	Glossalalia was practiced long before Pentacost. Practically every aboriginal religion had/has some form of "tongues" To all be speaking different languages at the same time would be like "Babel" The miracle was not in the mouth of the speaker but in the "hearing" of the listener! God is not the author of "confusion" Acts 2.12. "we HEAR them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!"

Judgement Day Happens
	Mark V, Are you implying that God is not able to "not know" if He chooses "not to know" the outcome of a certain event so as not to "influence" or interfere with the free will of that person??? To say otherwise is to make Him "complicit" in the introduction of sin into our world! Why would he later say He regretted making man in the 1st place!??? if he "foreknew?"

How To Speak In Tongues

Mima, If you go to the U.N meetings you see rep.s from every country,sitting with headphones ,as the speaker addresses them they each "hear" him in their own language.How? Same at Petecost when they spoke (probably Greek) each "heard them in their own tongue,no headphones,HS interpreting as they spoke! Acts2.8."How is it each of us hears them in his own native tongue?" HS interpreting made it look like they were "speaking" in tongues!

Is The Hebrew Bible Lost
	The Hebrews (Jews) today have the Talmud, they don't need the lost bible! Ask a Rabbi!

Judgement Day Happens
	Mark V, ++ nothing can be changed by man++ God had a purpose in mind when he created this earth,that man could inhabit an "Edenic" paradise and live forever... But all that changed when Adam sinned! Man did change the course of history then, did he not? Are you suggesting that Adamic sin was "in God's plan"??
