Explain Revelation 17:4

Please, my brothers & sisters in Christ: Ephesians 4:1-3, Colossians 3:14-16, John 13:35, Acts 7:26, Philippians 2:14-15, 1 Cor 1:11-13, 3:3-5, 1 Cor 4:5 Romans 12:4-5, 1 Cor 12:11-13 (includes all demoninations: for those with eyes to see, let them see). I admonish you to edify each other with love and through the Word of God. The evil one loves when we tear each other down. Don't become offended and submit to that temptation. I pray for harmony among us (His body) in the name of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

Do You Believe In God

You cannot come to Christ because you are spiritually dead to all that is of God. ---Morgan on 10/16/09 Morgan, spoken like a true Calvinist. What I see here is the Calvin Sect on the war path. You seem to be the only ones here having issues, except for Bobby1 who loves to jump in the middle of conflict having nothing of nourishment to offer anyone! kathr4453, it seems you hit a nerve. Praise God for that. Maybe discernment of the more spiritually mature can see through this whole charade. God bless you for your truth in spite of those who are throwing stones.

Why Do I Pray

I pray to honor and glorify His magnificent majesty to show thanks and appreciation for so many things He and His awesome son and the Holy spirit has done will be doing and will do for all humanity. You don't know but my dear 86 year old father past away yesterday and still I thank God for his perfect wisdom and purpose for my dad . I miss him already but now at least I am certain he is in God's arms and I will see him when it is God's will or purpose for that to happen. I believe that all things are possible through Jesus Christ who empowers me (by his amazing grace) Rest in Jesus . Have faith be an encourager.

USA Founded As Christian Nation

The USA was most definitely not founded as a Christian nation. Anyone who believes it was needs to explain the wording of the Treaty of Tripoli from 1797 which was written while George Washington was still president but did not go to the Senate for a vote until John Adams was president. It is one of the few things that has ever gone to the Senate and passed by a unanimous vote. Article 11 of the treaty applies to the founding principles of the USA and begins: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

We Want To Leave Church

For starts pray and go in pure Love for we all are different and as brothers and sisters in Jesus he loved us more than we can understand. The bible teaches to work with each other. Your pastor makes misteaks. Tell him your feelings are hurt as well as your teaching and worship. We are a body and have to move together. This world wants us to be at harms way within ourself. Satan doesn't have to work hard in this manner. Remember Christ Jesus lay down his life for all we are the children of God all.So pray for him the Holy Spirit will turn his ways. I will be praying as well. Lord keep your loving arms around this family and pastor along with the whole church family rain the Holy Ghost down with great power of compassion and peace. Amen

Are Pentacostals A Cult

A cult, by definition, is a religion centered around the worship of a particular person. Since most mainstream Christians worship Christ as part of the Trinity, Christianity is, by definition, a cult. Pentacostalism sets itself apart from main-stream Christianity in that its members believe that evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is manifested by displaying "gifts of the Spirit." By far the most common gift and the one gift nearly all Pentacostals display is the speaking of tongues, in which members chant in a glossalaliac speech reported to be an "unknown" tongue, or a "private prayer language." Many Pentacostal believe that a Christian is not saved unless he or she practices this

Did Saul Go To Heaven

Believers of the Old Testament were saved based on the promise of a coming redeemer. They were saved on "credit" if you will, since Jesus paid for their sins at a later date. As for Saul, the Scripture mentions that Samuel was awakened and asked him why Saul disturbed him. It never indicates that this was a demon or something else posing as Samuel. The Bible is full of paradoxes. Was this, in fact, Samuel? Did Saul, who at one time was annointed King, go onto Heaven after falling out of God's favor? What about David after committing adultery or Solomon after committing idolatry? I guess those of us who are saved will find out!

I Need A Christian Friend
	Probably not here but I think there's a chat room at this site as well. I'm new to this site too.

Stealing From God

The "tithe" was actually the temple tax of the Old Testament Jews. There is no New Testament "tithe," as there is no longer a temple and we are not all Jews obligasted to it's upkeep. In the Book of Acts Ananias and Saphira committed to giving to the Apostles money they made on the sale of land, but instead kept part of it for themselves. They both died instantly when they were told they were "stealing from God.(sic)." Tithing, I believe, is a misinterpreted concept.

Still My Wife In Heaven
	I know that the Bible talks about the fact that there will be no marriage in heaven because we will be married to the Lamb of God. Luke 20:19-35. I lost my wife two weeks ago from cancer at age 49. My hope is that I will see her, and it will be a joyouse reunion, not with my wife, but with my best friend and sister in Christ.

Can God Heal A Diabetic

I feel like slapping the simpleton that is telling this man that God uses medicine, food and exercise to heal 99 percent of the time. Type 1 diabetic for lawds sake. Study a bit, before you go trying to preach ridiculous nonsense to someone who is frustrated and reaching out for hope. Also people, he probably knows the healing scripture more then most. It is a serious disease and in my 25 years of having it, have not seen one person healed. I can relate to how this man is feeling and I can only hope that someday. One person that has actually been healed from this, will stand up, doctors evidence in hand and let the world know. Hope its you bro, hang in there, if not the Lord, huge things in medicine on the horizon!

Having Thoughts For A Pastor
	Yes, it is time to move on to a different ministry and church.

Can God Heal Diabetes
	Yes, God can heal diabetes as well as any other type of disease.

Is Miss California Sinning
	Obewan it looks like you have the same information I have seen. Would you agree from the articles that she sees nothing wrong with her semi-nude photos?

Is Miss California Sinning

Darlene you still don't have all the information. You are reading the first few days of info. The story developed over two weeks. She is promoting semi-nude pictures today at age 21 as being Christian. She sees nothing wrong with topless Christian women for men to lust after. Even the ungodly know better than this if they have just some morals. Are you stating Christian women should pose semi-nude and this is Biblical behavior for Christian women? God forbid!

Is Miss California Sinning

Darlene, CNN was the source for the past two weeks. Based on your comments you have missed most of the news on the topic. Please read the prior posts in this blog IE Miss California is working for a Christian organization in a leadership position and promoting the semi-nude lifestyle as Christian. This is not Biblical for Christians and even less so for Christians in leadership positions. I am sure you would have to agree.

Is Miss California Sinning
	Darlene, Miss California just posed semi-nude about a year ago. Not only did she not repent of her series of semi-nude photos taken over several years, she sees nothing wrong with Christians posing semi-nude. Biblical she is not qualified to be in a Christian leadership position as she is encouraging Christians to sin.

Is Miss California Sinning
	Trish I had never heard the term either until Alan brought it up. I am with you it was another attempt of him to make light of sin and the abuse of women. I thought it was a word he just made up.
