Are Apocrypha Books Needed

Meira: Actually, the first printed Protestant Bibles included these books (and some still do today). One may argue that it was included for historical reasons only, but it was included nonetheless. It was only later that these books was removed entirely, purely for economical reasons (it was much cheaper to print Bibles without these books). However, all Apostolic Churches of the West (Rome) and East (Orthodoxy,Oriental etc) include these books because they are Holy Scriptures. The only solid reason why many Protestants do not include them because they have been mislead by there superiors to believe they contradict the rest of the 66 books of the Holy Bible. But a careful studying will prove otherwise. In IC.XC

Ever Sent Out A Prayer Cloth

About the prayer cloths! I have read some of the things people are saying about prayer cloths. The one that gets me is, is preachers are charging for them.I am an Evangelist and I have send prayer cloths and use anointing oil,I agree it is only a point of contact and shows our faith. If you want a prayer cloth feel free to email. I do not charge for them. I have Bible studies I do not charge for them. Jesus hung on the cross and paid the debt, healing is free and those people that are making you paid for a prayer cloth, shame on them.Ray

What If Big Bang Is True
	Is it so difficult to imagine that God, in all His wisdom and omnipotence, set the Big Bang in motion such that, throughout the millennia, the work He started would progress to create the entire universe (and us) according to His grand plan?

Is Remarriage Adultery

Many people misread the scriptures whecomes to this subject of marriage and divorce. In Mathew 5:32 Jesus said that divorce is permitted because of ery. Please understand according to this scripture when you divorce your spouse you cause her to commit ery. But if the spouse committed ery herself she caused her own ery. That is why it is permitted. Your spouse n it chose to enter in ery. Thus breaking your vows. You are allowed to remarry if you are the party (the one divorcing the guilty party). With all that said we must always try to reconcile.

Can I Save My House
	Have you tried to get a short sale through the lender? You would have to pay the difference though. Your credit would most likely not take a bad hit that way. In prayer for you Ray

	I Pray ,,,,Basicly Whenever,,,,in the Middle of the Night, when ever God (Or My Mind ?) Promt me too !! :-) Sure God Answers Prayer, but Not how you think, neccessarily,,,,,, I Thought It'ed be Nice to be Rich, and not have to Work,,, But, While I'm Not rich,I am on Disability!! God Smiles,He Saved Me, and Know's me Intametly !!!!!!!!!!!

Can I Remarry After Divorce
	Not really - based on Scripture.(Matthew 5:32.) But, as a marriage counselor, I have seen very successful marriages, among Christians, who are going around for the second time. According to the Gospel of Matthew, while divorce is allowed in the case of sex outside of marriage, re-marriage isn't.

Is Filing Bankruptcy A Sin
	How did they get into DEBT ??, Borrowing beyond their Means ???Thinking, they Heard from GOD??? Yes it's a sin, bu we serve a forgiving GOD !!Clean up your act, then be very carefull , about Borrowing !!!

Is TBN A Godly TV Station
	I have yet to meet a preacher worthy of my attention: I run a site phonypreachers on the net, and I have searched for 1 Just preacher and I have fallen short

Celebrate The Easter Bunny

It makes me sick to my stomach to hear the excuses that some of you twits use to justify your disobedience to Gods word.And I assume you consider yourselfs christians and still wish to eat the vomit you just purged. unless you are hot for Christ he will vomit you out of his mouth. Then you can go and celebrate your pagan festivals you apostates.and if you are offended so be it. I judge not it is Gods word that judges you as apostates.

Pope Praying Toward Mecca
	abandon the human argument!! There is only one that is to be bowed to and that is jesus Christ. To bow the knee to any other for any reason is APOSTACY.Why do you want to compromise your integrity? There is no other to bow to but Jesusand he is up and not in the east

Do I Drop The Legal Charges

To forgive, doesn't mean a person doesn't pay the consequences of their sin. You may want to drop the charges, since they have ceased, but that's up to you. If you have any type of communication with her, you could tell her you have dropped the charges, but she's not to repeat her offensive behavoir. If she does don't hesitate to press charges. (However, don't feel you have to make contact with her just for that purpose.)

Turn The Other Cheek

It's ok to turn the other cheek, of course. But it is entirely dependant on each person whether they feel that they should do this. Everyone is different and we all are effective in different ways. But for Catholics we usually defend Jesus because he is here with us now in the present moment so it's about relationship, right? A relationship with Jesus. And so, if somebody insutlts your family or your partner, what is your response, to turn the other cheek? !

Do I Have To Go To Birthday Party
	I do not believe that you should feel obligated to go. Though, it may be a way of witnessing to them. A lot depends on the kind of parts that they have. I would ask God as to whether or not He wants you to go. If so, go with a gladful heart. If not, be polite when you decline.

Pastor's Wife Has Gone Wild
	About all you can do at this point is pray for her. Until she wants counseling, or other help, regardless of how well meaning it may be, it will be rejected by her. This is a "not so unusual" problem with people who marry too young.

Christ's Linen Napkin

I'm not sure about Jeff's position on this whole matter, but it is evident from his response (read way down the blog) that he thinks the "he's coming back" idea and folding of the napkin is rubbish. But he does admit that folding of the Tallit was done special by each Jew, and the fact the cloth was folded meant that "He was alive" and that the body had not been stolen. That is to say: "He's coming back!!"
