Scripture For Suicide And Heaven
	Suicide to me is such a sad thing. Years ago (as an ambulance attendant) I had to transport a 24 y/o hanging victim. It still bothers me 20 years later. I can't say if this is a damnable act or not, I just dont know. But God knows, and he makes no mistakes. Its so sad to think that a person could get so low to resort to this. My heart goes out to anyones family who has had to bear this cross.

Faith Differs From Works

As was stated in the blog above the writer states that old adage "Sola Scriptura." If that is the case why didm't German scripture scholars remove the Epistle of St. James ? St. James clearly states that Faith without good works is dead. In the NRSV Bible almost all of the Jerusalem Bible sections are the same. Even 1st. and 2nd Maccabbees are included. When the four evangalists wrote the Gospels those writers were protected by God from error. Modern Biblical scholars or even Early Christian Scholars are not. I hope this blog leaves the reader something to think about. St. Thomas Aquinas

Are Tattoos Wrong

Leviticus 19:28 forbids tattooing. And Jesus said Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5: 17,18 NIV). Of course, its almost impossible for us to keep the Law down to the smallest letter or the least stroke of a pen, but I happen to know its very easy NOT to get tattooed....

Can A Person Be Born Evil

The word says: The spirit of man lusteth to envy. The heart is deceitfully wicked. The spirit of man seeks the things of man. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. David said he was shapen in iniquity and in sin did his mother conceive him. The same holds true for all of us. Paul said there was no good thing in his flesh except the Lord. We must repent and be renewed by the Spirit of God. Frank

What Is The Gift Of Discernment

Donna9759, To answer your original question discernment of spirits is one of the gifts of the Spirit. If you receive it you will know how to use it without asking anyone. The Lord will give it and use it. You will be able to discern the spirit by which people speak or post, whether from God, the devil or their own mind or heart. It also gives the ability to discern some dreams as the Lord reveals through it. When the Lord gives it he gives the ability. And discernment will show you right here at this site who is posting by the Spirit of God and who is not. Frank

Can Females Wear Pants

The woman (both in the natural and as the church) should not wear the breastplate of judgment to judge her fellow saint. Her husband is the judge of the quick and the dead. She should not wear the mitre of HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD either. His Holy Spirit seals her and makes her holy as does his blood. Just as she should not wear that which pertaineth unto a man listed above he will not wear her righteousness, or filthy rags. Both would be an abomination. But, she can wear pants. Just as men can wear skirts. I hope this helps. Frank

Must Pastors Be Educated

#1 Rod, Much of it is types and shadows. Paul said the Lord worked mightily (anointed him) in him towards the Gentiles and in Peter towards the Jews. Samson was anointed with strength as a type and shadow of Jesus being our strength but Solomon was anointed with wisdom as a type and shadow of Jesus being the wisdom and power of God, made uto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Every star differs in glory. Frank

Must Pastors Be Educated

#2 Rod, We also see David anointed to be the greatest king in Israel as a type and shadow of Jesus who is King of kings and Lord of lords. We see Abraham anointed with the faith to have hope against hope in offering Isaac unto God believing God would raise him back up. Each person is a type and shadow of Christ and we are all parts of his body. Each of us is anointed in different areas. There are some pastors that cannot teach and some that really should step down from the pulpit as they manifest that they are not anointed to preach. Hope this helps explain. Frank

I Am A Prophet
	If you really are a prophet you wouldn't be asking people here what to do. You would trust the leading of the Holy Ghost. Frank

Must Pastors Be Educated

There is a five fold ministry with each person having a different anointing to a degree. Typically the Lord will bless and anoint an individual with the spiritual things neccessary within that which he/she is called to do. A pastor may not be anointed to be a prophet, etc... A teacher may not be abointed to be a pastor, etc... Just as there is a difference in spiritual gifts there is a difference in anointing. Frank

Joyce Meyer's Is A False Teacher

Part of the anti-christ arising and taking everything away from Christians is to manifest the lies of the false prophets. Quit twisting scripture to back them and hold them accountable for their doctrine. Like: Ok mrs. Meyer, you said if I followed your doctrine I'd be blessed. Why did I lose my job, home and health? Don't send any money until they can answer for their doctrine. Quit backing them and start writing them if you see they are getting rich as you get poor. That goes for all these tv evangelists that twist scripture to tell people what they want to hear. Salvation should be enough! Frank

Must Pastors Be Educated

Those who are truly called of God should sit under the teaching of an anointed man of God such as Timothy did with Paul. (who rejected his carnal teaching and was taught of the Spirit prior to preaching the gospel) Organized carnal schooling uses a carnal mind and the spirit of man of which both lead contrary to the word of God. Messages are to be brought forth by the Spirit of God and not a seminary school trained individual instructed in man's doctrine. Christ warned against such! They make their converts two-fold the child of hell as themselves. Shortly those who have eyes to see and ears to hear will see the mockery of organized carnal schools. When it comes to pass it may be too late for those follow such teachings. Frank

I Need A Good Pastor In Church

I see quite a few screaming for the position but not much in saying a prayer. If you are attempting to find a pastor on the internet rather than the leading of the Spirit you will probably end up with a false prophet. But, at least they'll tell you what you want to hear. You would be better to just continue in prayer without voicing it and allow the Spirit of God to direct a true pastor to you. Frank

Is Benny Hinn For Real
	While it is not in my place to judge anyone I have noticed that as I look at the Benny Hinn tree it gives the appearance of having the fruit of the false prophet. But that is just what I see. What I hear him say is worse. I would not let him lay hands on my dog. The dog probably is closer to God than Hinn. Frank

Holiday Party Drink

I am a born again christian 32 years. I came from a home where alcohol and tobacco only had health concerns associated not moral. I meet christians today who smoke and drink. They feel justfied, free, excused to do so. My question to them is why do non-christians associate 'real christian' behavior with abstaining from these. Those non-believers have no problems understanding your not drinking or smoking. They would question you as to why you would drink or smoke. It is real simple, just don't do it. We have so many options for drinking pleasure that are non-alcoholic.

Holiday Party Drink

Another point on the alcohol issue. I will not debate the point. I have personal convictions and understand there are disareements regarding this subject in the church. I do understand historically wine is in the church. However, I don't believe we are discussing ceremonial rites. If you have family members who are alcoholics or are related or affected by their condition, you probably would see the significance of avoiding and abstaining from alcohol. In all of my 48 years, I have yet to see any good come out of drinking any type of alcoholic beverage. Keep it simple, just don't do it.

Jesus Born On December 25th

Jesus was born on the first day of the Jewish sacred occasion - called the Feast of Tabernacles, and also called the Ingathering (with God). Numerical proof of this is found in The Genesis I Window. Why would anyone choose the darkest day of the year for the One who brings the Light? Why would anyone choose December 25th, which is the birthday of the Pagan god Mirtha? This date was also an ancient Roman holiday, which was why it was chosen?

Trav Just remember what you are saying here and now, you remember it, word for word. Dont change it for no one ok. But, also remember to keep the law, the whole law, all of it. As I know you can. For I know, I can call you a keeper of the law, I can only believe your words. I am sure someone will write them down. With this said, I will now say God bless you! Remember keep the law, all of it! The day is late!
