The Gospel

Don't play coy. You certainly did infer I was in breach of it.

I think you mean "imply". Any inference was yours.


Thanks for your obvious and caring need to police others in this forum, but it's not your place.

That's an interesting opinion, since I referred to self-policing and mutual encouragement rather than policing others, but even so, I don't know what you've based it on.


As I said, if you have a problem, report it. Condescending remarks inferring [sic] breach of forum rules puts you on the same level as those you look to police.

Again, I thought it was quite clear that my intent was to avoid policing and encourage self-policing, but apparently you misunderstood. The equivalence you draw, moreover, between someone who violates the forum guidelines and someone who raises the possibility that the forum guidelines could bear greater adherence, makes no sense.


You're not open to the idea that you are misinterpreting soemthing? How arrogant.

Please don't put words in my mouth. I simply said that I doubted the accusation was justified. You are the one who heedlessly mischaracterized the prior incident you raised, which only established that someone else once thought I mistook "making fun of" for "spouting hatred", not that I actually had done - and, incidentally, completely ducked the issue as far as the possibility of personal responsibility on your part was concerned. Perhaps you're just not open to the idea.


Yes. I bet you can. Bite me.

Now that's just rude.


Welcome to my ignore list.

Oddly enough, KK doesn't seem to be on it. But I'll willingly suffer your disregard if you'll only release civility and politeness, which you appear to have welcomed to your ignore list as well.
 
I think you watch lots of TV. Anyways...the dreams that were spoken of from God that these people would see and believe in Christ and they were not to fear. It seems many Muslims are still putting people to death when they come to faith in Christ which is a really bad thing. Have you ever seen the movie Behind The Sun? It's based on a true story!!

Here's a thought: How about if you get your nose out of your Bible once in a while, and spend a few minutes in the real world.
 
Opium smoker she is.

Hey, now, I smoked opium a coupla times in college, and while there was a whole lotta giggling, I don't recall all that much preaching. Let's not defame opium smokers by comparing 'em to fundies!

Actually I don't have near enough time in the word. I still have so much to learn but I am willing to learn about what God says about things. Why aren't others here more open to what scripture says? The word of God is alive and active in this world and in His people!

I am open:

Proverbs 30:5
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."

1 Kings 22:23
"Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee."

Aw, crap.
 
Spend ten minutes listening to the local Christian radio, while someone of considerably more brain power than yours (kathy) tries to explain away contradictions in 'the book'.

Spend ten minutes trying to understand why you want to believe in a god who would create a flawed creature who he will punish for all eternity because that god placed the creature where they can't learn the rules from the same book.

Spend ten minutes listening to someone like you.

See, thirty minutes will save you lots of time! You won't have to invest any more of the precious commodity in studying a handed-down, much revised series of maunderings from nomadic shepherds and trying to make your life fit their conceptions.

1 Kings 22:23 is addressing the issue of the false prophets. We are still having to question what is false or true doctrine. God help us all to be open to the truth that makes us free.

I am still reading lots of Hanks articles concerning these issues myself.

If you go into anything in the resource category you'll get tons of free articles addressing many issues on religion or doctrine. I do have to say I think Hanks ministry is helping many people answer these important questions.

But God is purposely putting the words into the false prophets? How can we know God's truth when God might be lying to us?

No, this is what is a misconception on your part. There are absolutely 2 things we know God himself cannot do, lie or sin! People lie, God doesn't!

1 John 4: 1-6
Testing the Spirits
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

So God is not omnipotent? No matter how great his power, it is impossible for him to lie?

It is possible, He merely chooses not to. And because God is perfect, the temptation to lie is absolutely zero.

But apparently, he does it anyway. At least according to the Bible.

Nice...
