My husband and I do not fly anymore for two reasons -
* We refuse to let the governement search us bodily.
* We refuse to fly with Muslims.
Our preacher rarely flies also. He has started driving to his preaching engagements.
This is America. We should not cater to the Muslims who hate us and are out to "murder the infidels."
Not only that, but also, our kids are learning that they as humans are the cause of the earth's pollution (though humans do cause pollution), but the school system makes them out to be the only reason why the earth is so polluted. You know, its because of evolution that we have Earth Day. I'm againat Earth Day. If you look at the purpose and reason behind Earth Day, its satanic. People want you to think that we're in some way obligated to cleaning up the earth.
[There have been militant Christian groups in the past. They are people who distort the word of God into what they think it means.]
I cannot think of a single time where Christians were militant. I can, however, think of many occasions where the Roman church, aka CATHOLIC, has persecuted people, I just cannot think of any CHRISTIAN groups who were militant.
[I hate to play the devils advoc------ no, no wait, i love to play the devils advocate! the bible is violent to. Killing kings, entire populations(Jericho, Ai, etc............) stoning ur kid if he talks back........]
true, but all that was comanded by God.
Anyone who has any expierence, knowledge and common sense should be able to see the truth: that evolution is a devilsh myth.

Since you are a guy, I don't see a problem with you being friends with a lesbian. Just don't be close friends, because our close friends should not be living in sin. As long as she doesn't become one of your closest friends, I think it's fine.
I'm a girl who used to be good friends with a lesbian, and I now realize that was a very bad idea. But I still have a couple of gay acquaintances. This is different because these gay guys are of the opposite sex and because they're not good friends.
First, there are observations - physical findings.
Based on observations, a conclusion can be predicted. This prediction becomes what we call a hypothesis. When a hypothesis is tested, it is either disproven, or it becomes a theory. After further testing and observation, the theory may be proven. At that point, we call it a law.
I think it is a crying shame. Israel (and the United States) should do everything possible to evict the squatters [Muslims] from the land God promised to His people.
[part of a long, rambling post about trying to keep her friend from crushing on a "bad" guy, culminating in this *shocking* revelation (paragraph breaks added)]
The guy had a CD player/radio but no one payed any mind to it except Amanda and I. When the graduation was over the 3 of us got in the bus and we went in the back. We were looking at all the stuff they brought, trying to think of a way to play a trick on them or something when Amanda noticed that he'd accidently left his CD player/radio on.
She put the headphones on and her facial expression went from normal to[shocked smiley]! She threw the headphones off her head and Molly said
"What's the matter Mander?"
Amanda didn't say anything. She just opened up the CD player to find *surprise surprise* a country CD. She knew it was because she said her Grandma used to listen to it. Of course this was the kind of proof [that the guy "isn't very nice"] that we'd been looking for for months. Before it was just our word against his. Now it was "Hey we actually found some physical proof."
I remember one time, I was laying on my board, riding in wave after wave, completely oblivious to everything but the wave I was riding in on. Then...WHAM! My foot hits a seashell and cuts wide open. I could barely walk for a week, it hurt so bad. Man, did that ruin the vacation.
[...]
Are you ready to have a "seashell moment" There can definitely be days that we think are boring, but rest assured, God is working behind the scenes, and for all we know, he might just send a "seashell" along the way to remind us that He's still God, and He's still got big plans for you and your life! Who knows? God is like that sometimes, and that's what makes Him such an awesome God to serve!!!
girls go out today wearing jeans so tight it makes their butt look 10x bigger than what it really is just so guys will look at them and then when they get raped they wonder why. well hello!!!!!!!!
sorry if it was kinda you know but it's the pure truth.
I cannot think of a single time where Christians were militant. I can, however, think of many occasions where the Roman church, aka CATHOLIC, has persecuted people, I just cannot think of any CHRISTIAN groups who were militant.
[Apparently, Jesus is in the fruit-juice business)
The wine which was made by Jesus was not the strongly alcoholic wine or liquor we see today. If it was fermented at all, it contained an extremely small amount of alcohol - only enough to serve to purify the drink. It's actually more like grape juice than what we would consider to be wine. The wine that is out today is designed for the purpose of making one drunk. It contains a lot more alcohol than the grape juice Jesus made.
The Bible clearly states that God created life on the earth. It says that He created the heavens (stars, moon, etc) but never says He put life there. The conclusion - the only planet life exists on is earth.
Me and my parents have decided that I will not date. We believe in courting. Dating leads to foolish things. By courting, I mean the young man participating in outings with my family and such. Very safe places! I have decided to fully give my heart to my dad. He will be the authorty over me until my wedding day. I (with God's help) hope never to even hold hands with my future husband until my wedding day. I wear a purity ring to remind me of that daily. One day, my purity ring will be molded into my future husbands wedding band as a sign that I am fully giving my heart to him. And that is my whole heart, not a broken heart that I have waisted on other guys.
There are a lot of things you can learn from the modern, hollywood, romance style of dating:
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to live in disobedience to God's will
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to live with a sexually transmitted disease
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to stand at the wedding alter having a heart and/or body that is sexually impure
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to be disqualified from whatever ministry God may have for you.
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to be a parent before you are ready or married.
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to practice for divorce.
You can learn, first hand, what it is like to have your heart torn asunder because you joined your heart to someone who was not God's will for you.
Need I continue? God has a plan for marriage and Hollywood's style of dating is not a part of it.
[Another candidate for the Fundie Word Redefinition Project]
As for the shorts: well, there is a standard.
Isa 47:2-3 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. (3) Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
in this passage, 'nakedness' is defined as making bare the thigh. That is anything above the knee. So, based on that standard, compared to modern clothes, some shorts are ok, some clearly are not!

Well, like I posted earlier, reality and the Bible are two different things. In reality, if I was a Jew in that time [during the holocaust], I WOULD (emphasis) have lied to save my family, but biblically, it doesn't change the fact thats it's still wrong. The right thing to do, it to always tell the truth. Would I always? Absolutely not! Is lying always wrong? Absolutely! It was not only illegal by man's laws (Germany in this instance) , it's going against the very word of God.
If the Sodomites can't handle being called other names then they need to take it up with God.
Ok, new information:
1. hugo chavez has this little island off the cost of his country. He is using that island to train muslims in how to acclimate to the US culture as mexicans. He then gives the documentation so that they can legally enter into mexico. From there, they can, with relative safety, cross into the United States.
2. The Mexican government is corrupt and run by the druglords. There have been cases where elements of the the Mexican military have actually fired upon the US Border Patrol.
I can only imagine why these things are not widely known, or why the United States populus does not stand in revolt to this invasion.

Looking back on my expierences, I have very mixed feelings. Looking at marching bands in secular schools, I see a lot of problems:
Uniforms: often the young ladies are forced to wear pants, or worse! In some cases, the costumes the girls in the color guard (flags, rifles, dance, etc.) are almost non-existant!
Music: almost never is proper for the Christian! Does not praise God!
Dancing: many bands have actions that are downright vulgar. There is one (here in Chrarlotte, NC) that was banned from the Christmas parade becuase their actions were so vulgar that they offended the community. If you know anything about Charlotte, you know that is saying a LOT!
I went to band camp - I know that more than music and marching is practiced or learned! In fact, one of our 'adult' sponsors told us how to sneak out of the dorm we were in w/o setting off an alarm and which bar we could go to!
Now, despite all of these bad things, I firmly believe that everyone should at least try to learn an instrument, but I cannot say that I support a secular school's marching band!
You also need to notice: He promised to take care of His children. In another topic, you mentioned Darfur, and how Christians sit and do nothing. Tell me: Who do they worship? If you do the research, you will see that the national religion of Darfur is Islam. You will also see that Christians in the area are persecuted. You will find that 65% of the population claims to be devout Muslims while the majority of the remaining 35% claim to only be muslim (as opposed to devout muslim). Why should the Lord bless a country that openly seeks the destruction of HIS chosen people (Israel) and His children (the saved)?
To end terrorism...
* Take the gloves off. We need to stop molly-coddling these people and their friends. Folks, for all practical purposes, we own Iraq. We need to act like it. Not only this, but we need to simply destroy the terrorists who stand against us. Recently, I saw a bumper sticker that said, "If a terrorist wants to die, it is my duty to help him accomplish his goal."
* Release Israel from the restrictions they are under. That's right, cut 'em loose and give them the key to the arms warehouse. I am absolutely sick of people saying we need to fight terrorism, and then telling Israel to calm down. I won't rant here. mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif
* Follow the Brit's example. Locate the terrorists in our country, round them up and ... "But what about their rights..." some may whine. Forget their tights. They are using their rights to destroy us!
* Christians need to take a stand. The United States is a CHRISTIAN nation. We need to act like it.
* Close the UN. The United Nations is really a group of dictators, thugs and outright criminals whose goals consist of the exploitation and destruction of the United States of America.
Last, and most importantly...
* Evangelize, exhort and disciple the nation. That's right. We need to take our country back, and we need to actively defend our country, but the most important thing we need to do is evangelize and disciple the nations. If the United States chooses to use it, we have the military power to utterly destroy the terrorist nations, but God chan change their hearts.
The United Nations is an anti-Hebrew, anti-Christian organization. Every aspect and action of this organization is to orchestrate the erradication of the Jewish and Christian people.
This is an organization that is equally anti-American (although they certainly love the American DOLLAR). Those of you who are of voting age should make sure that you cast your vote, and you cast your vote for those who will represent Jesus and the Word of God!
Here are a few reason why I won't be watching and won't endorse his books or movies.
1. C.S Lewis is a heretic. I mean come on guys, the guy believes in life on other planets, he believes we're the highest of animals. All in all, this guy is heretical nut.
2. Some things that I've heard about the book disturb me. I'm not going to dwell on C.S Lewis' quotes in this post, but am going to focus on the books. Here's a quote from one of the books, small but very dangerous:
"The future of Narnia rests on your courage." (Talking to the children who play roles in the novel)
Now, the future does not rest with us. In fact, God could do anything he wanted without a single soul on this earth. If Asylan is God, then he wouldn't be saying this. God's intentions does not rest on our courage. Plain and simple.
3. Imagination is evil and wicked. You call it an imagination, God calls it evil. (Genesis 8:21) It doesn't matter if you think that a little imagination is okay, it's wicked.
Oh, I wish I could respond to the [Hillary] Clinton thing. I wish I could say all the reasons why she should not be president.
I can say this:
1) Anyone who supports aborton, or sodomite's rights should not be supported
2) A woman should be the keeper of the house.
I believe that all Disney movies are wrong to watch, and try to avoid them as much as possible. Why are you focussing a topic on just ONE of those evil Disney movies? Aren't there other wicked ones that many teens love to watch, such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King? These have strange fantasies portrayed in them, and should not be watched by Christians.

There is a difference between the baseless attacks against those of us who stand on the Word of God and the pointing out of the errors of the other false and deceptive doctrines.

The Baptist church is the one that Jesus began when He was here on earth. However, not ALL Baptist churches still follow the Bible like they once did. Even some independent fundamental Baptist churches are straying from the foundations in God's Word.
No other denomination was started by Jesus....they were all started by fallible mortal men.

Harry Potter has never been considered to be a 'good thing'. That series, along with this one, is based on witchcraft.
Folks - do you really not see the dangers in witchcraft?
By the way, Lora, you are proving our point. Even if there were some redeeming quailty to CoN (which there is not), it is a gateway to other wickedness. First Narnia, then Harry Potter, then books about wicca, then ...
It is a slippery slope the Devil wants you to slide down. Please take this warning from us and flee the wickedness now!
And what do you suppose the Chronicles or Narnia is? It's evil. When our imagination goes against the word of God, then my friend, our imagination IS evil.
Since Satanism came on the scene, wearing all black has been a sign of worship of Satan. In fact, look at the garb most catholic priests wear - all black. This dates back to the pagan worship instituted by Nimrod and his wife.
It is not coincidental that when you wore all black, you only wanted to sit alone in your room listening to metal.
I'll give you an example of something I saw recently:
Blonde is a natural color for some.
Black is a natural color for others.
I saw a person crossing the street who had all black hair except for one blonde patch. That was immodest.
Another example is from someone a little closer. She has multicolored hair - red's, brown's, and blonde's all mixed up. That is unnatural and immodest!
["...how it is immodest to have a blond spot (or other colors) in your hair?"]
The essence of modesty is showing others your countenance. The only part of your body that can show a countenance that reflects Christ (a spirit of humility) is your face. If you draw attention to any other part or aspect of your body (i.e., your hair), then you are immodes.
In the cases I cited, the people were immodest because their hair attracts attention away from their face. The one with black hair and a blonde spot - I saw her from a half mile away!
I personally think that a teenage girl shoud not try to draw extra attention to herself. A lot of girls think they belong to their friends, or even their boyfriend, and they follow what they are doing. As a girl, you belong to your dad until your wedding day. Who are you trying to impress?
How has Pres. Bush degraded our country?? He's stood up for what was right on numerous occasions very unlike former Pres. Clinton who was arrogant and self-seeking. He spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars on vacations during his term. And in a place of a authority, an affair is not a "personal matter." He is representing the United States. I would be afraid to see what Clinton would have done after September 11th and I'm glad that we have a President who puts America's needs first and not the United Nonsense(oops, I mean Nations) [eyeroll smiley]
No offense, but I think you are the one who needs to do your research...
Clinton degraded our country, and Bush has given us a country to be proud of.
["Women working outside the home?"]
The problem is, Disciple, the attitude of women today. They do not really want rights - because they have many if they would stop and think. No, women today want to be in charge...they want to do the man's job and be just like him. Women have power they do not realize! A Christian lady who is living by the Book is the lady who is the most free and "liberated" and joyful individual on the earth.
Yes, women have rights - the right to obey God's Word.......
[The bible is not a textbook of fact you have got to stop hiding behind it. Form your own opinions instead of quoting passages]
Folks, this is why so many people have been decieved by cATHOLICS. They want to believe the traditions of men instead of following the Word of God. Sometimes, the Word of God is not the easiest way to follow, but for the saint, for the believer, it is the only way!
By the way, if the Bible is not the absolute, complete truth, then God is a liar and we are in serious trouble!
Is incest dangerous? Only when God does not ordain it. If you recall, God instructed Adam and Eve to multiply. What choice did they have? Honestly, evolution takes a very weak and gullible mind to believe.
[That is a ridiculous thing to say about Abe Lincoln. There is far more evidence to support that he existed.]
Prove it! It's very easy to say, but very hard to prove. And don't give me history books, because the people that wrote the history book could be lying. So, thats not a good source of information. Scientist are just now discovering that there actually was a world-wide flood. Don't talk about something you don't know about.
[This is from a thread discussing whether there is such a thing as Christian rock and whether to call it Christian rock or X-tian rock.]
"I don't think Christ and rock and roll should be put together. Where do you think they got the title? THe guy that invented it called it that because he heard postitutes use it.
Rock em' and Roll em'. Get it?"
Nothing is a fact if it goes against the Bible. The Bible is fact and absolute truth. Anything deviating from that is false. Adam and Eve were real people and everything the Bible recorded happened.
['Women are in church to worship same as the men so why should men be able to be expressive in worship but not the woman?']
Because contrary to what society today will tell you, men and women are not equal. The man is to be the authority figure in and outside of church. I don't know that I have a problem with women saying amen to where only their husbands, for example, can hear it though.
Harry Potter only gets kids reading because of the content of the books. The content of the books is evil and the author herself is a satanist. Satanism is a very dangerous religion. Young people are drawn into it becuase it is so appealing. It appeals to their flesh and their sense of mystery and the music appeals to their flesh too. Harry Potter books are dangerous and leading many down the broad road of destruction.
I'd like it if God could summon all the bad books into a big pile and we could have a barbeque [big grin smiley]
