701 | Only Gospels as Authority? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Norrie | 92461 | ||
Great answer! I wish I would have thought of that one sooner, I'm on forums that use the old "Jesus never said anything against" argument too. He never said anything for tho, that's for sure. | ||||||
702 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Norrie | 94484 | ||
Once upon a time...surely you don't really believe this stuff? This is what fairy tales are made of! | ||||||

I do remember Copeland teaching that. It made such perfect sense, I believed it and preached it whenever I could. It was such a wonderful explanation to get someone to understand that wasn't a Christian. It is too bad it's not true but I bought it hook, line and sinker. There is so much I learned that has to be unlearned, it's really a shame. If that man said it, I believed it, esp. since he always said don't take my word for it, look it up yourself. But I guess anyone can twist scriptures to say about anything and make it look real. I have a friend who studies under that Murray guy who's very mixed up, but you can't tell her, she knows it all, quotes scriptue after scripture, but it's wrong. What you gonna do? At least when enough people that I trusted to be good Christians were poiunting out that I was in error, I decided maybe I better back up and find out, not everybody will do this. :( |

I listened to Copeland since 1980 almost exclusively, ever since I got saved. Then I started branching out to listening to anybody affiliated w/him. I've been to Believers Conventions, experienced miracles, owned so many tapes that it was almost impossible to store them, was giving them to people all the time just so they'd get the Word. When I first heard that Copeland was wrong from someone I respected, it shocked me. Then it seemed that everywhere I turned was someone telling me he was wrong. I listened to him for 18 yrs! I practically taped every show he had on, got the Voice of Victory, was receiving the publications from Jerry, Jesse, Joyce, Creflo, Hagin...bought tapes from most of them. I even went to Creflo's church because Copeland and Roberts were going to be there, I fully expected a healing and it didn't happen, in fact I had a set back. I knew it wasn't lack of faith because I was ready. Then it was after this I started hearing about fallacy from them. I sure did NOT want to hear that, but when enough witnesses start telling you, you have to really start examining to find out the truth. Now I've quit all of them. I admit there was some good there, but I've read that the percentage w/apostates is 95 percent truth and 5 percent apostasy, that way you can swallow the apostacy easier, if it was blatant, you'd never believe it. I bet if I scrounged around, I could prob find the tape where it talks about God gave man dominion and Adam gave it to Satan when he sinned. Then God was locked out of the earth. He couldn't make a new man because now it belonged to Satan, Adam gave it to him and God's honorable, He won't go back on His Word. So He had to find a man to speak His Word, get His Word back in, that's why it took so long to get Jesus in. I used to preach this on other forums trying to explain things to unbelievers. I was also in constant contact w/these ministries, sending money, calling for prayer, they'd even send me free tapes when I had a particular problem, I never would have dreamed anything they said was wrong. My daughter was born after a blanket prayer at the '91 Anaheim Convention. Copeland said in 9 mos, I expect to get some baby announcements, before the year was up, I sent him one. It's amazing what had to go on in my life to force me to take a good, long look. But God finally got my attention. Just be openminded, maybe that's why you're here, to find out the truth. :) This site really needs to lift the ban on symbols, it is a big pain!!! |

Copeland says that God gave man dominion, Adam gave that dominion to Satan when he sinned, that is why the earth is legally Satan's. That is why it was a temptation for Jesus to sin when Satan said see these kingdom's, they are mine to give. If the kingdoms weren't Satan's to give, what would be the temptation? Which if you think about, it does make sense tho so...anyway, that's what Copeland teaches. | ||||||

He lead a prayer for those pg or wanting to be. For some strange reason, I got in on it. After that was when I met my husband, got married and pg almost immediately. I'd never gotten pg nefore and I was 40 then. The doc later told me it was a miracle that I did get pg that I was ate up w/endionetriosis. Anyway, the point is, God can work thru anybody. :) | ||||||
707 | Is it possibly had medium length hair ? | Hebrews | Norrie | 48728 | ||
Where exactly is that? I remember the women w/long hair, don't remember exactly about men but don't know where to look that up. | ||||||
708 | Hebrews 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | Norrie | 34315 | ||
There are those that would say he wasn't saved in first place, but he sure made a good impression, didn't he. I know of others like that too. Makes you wonder, they claim they were saved, then they throw it away w/both hands...were they or weren't they? I guess we'll have to find out when we get there. | ||||||
709 | Why is marijuana use prohibited? | Heb 13:17 | Norrie | 68165 | ||
Where does it state in the Bible that you shouldn't pump drugs into your veins either? Duh-use some common sense here! The Bible doesn't get specific on every little thing but poisoning your body is not being a good temple of the Holy Spirit. | ||||||
710 | Why is marijuana use prohibited? | Heb 13:17 | Norrie | 68187 | ||
"Could you please elaborate where the Bible "clearly states that we are not to follow laws that are against God's teachings?" Are you saying that using marijuana is 'of' God's teachings?" The first thing that comes to mind is abortion, it's legal but immoral. I think maybe that's the type of laws he was thinking of. Otherwise, he puits a good case about not smoking. Shoot, I smoked for 30 yrs, nobody would have known unless I let it be known. I know all the arguments for pot and I know the pitfalls too. I would NEVER recommend smoking pot to anyone. I see too many people who think pot is harmless go crazy and do stupid stuff to get it, it's not harmless and it is addictive no matter what's said about it. Otherwise, why would so-called Christian parents lose their house over it or why would someone on parole for it risk going back to prison for it??? Why would someone on work release give it all up just for a few tokes, esp if you've been off it for months? If you believe it's not addicting, I got some ocean front property in Nebraska I want to unload... |

Exactly how sandy do you want your beach, whatever you want. :) OK, we have determined smoking pot in not good in any way possible at all, now if we can just get the world to understand that! |

Well said. :) | ||||||
713 | Why aren't the demons saved? | James 2:19 | Norrie | 12000 | ||
I would imagine the demons aren't saved because they were angels who rebelled against God, they already made their choice when they joined forced w/Lucifer. I also think the "world" in John 3:16 is humans, don't even go to animals. :) | ||||||
714 | Why aren't the demons saved? | James 2:19 | Norrie | 12001 | ||
Believing is very essential but repentance is a major factor that is left out a lot. Many people do not choose salvation because they refuse to repent, they like their lifestyle, don't want to change it. | ||||||
715 | Why do teachers have a stricter judgment | James 3:1 | Norrie | 12295 | ||
Maybe because they are in a position to lead others astray. | ||||||
716 | How can the rich be in misery? | James 5:1 | Norrie | 12881 | ||
Usually (not always), the rich person worships msmmon, that is their god. They are the ones that oppress the poor and do all the ther bad things, trying to get richer. Remember, money does not buy happiness or health either. |

717 | Are there stillborn Christians? | 1 Pet 2:2 | Norrie | 16557 | ||
Charis, I agree w/you about "cheap grace". Most people don't know about repentence or what it even means, I know I didn't. I thought repentence just meant being sorry for your sins. I grew up Cath, go to confession, say 3 Hail Marys and that was it. To me all I had to do was to believe Jesus was my Lord and Savior, that I'm a sinner, He died for me, rose again on the 3rd day and I'm sorry I sinned, I didn't quite grasp the "sin no more" concept. How many people are in that same boat? It took years before I finally realized it, I just didn't know. The main change in my life was that I was listening to preaching tapes (Copeland) and following along in the Bible, went to conventions, but I still lived my worldly ways otherwise. I didn't belong to a church either, but the few I ever visted were basically preaching accept Jesus as your Savior, never did hear what real repentence was. How can you know if you're not told? | ||||||

I have a 9 yr old daughter so we watch the cartoon channel a lot and there is an old Porky Pig episode where Uncle Sam is teaching him history and when it's over, he does the pledge and it is before under God was in there. Seems like I never sign out, have that place checked about staying signed in, but have to sign in every time. Is anybody else having that problem? |

I never shut down, I'd just get on and off internet. You are talking about shutting down and restarting, right? Should we start a new thread called computer problems? :) | ||||||

Do you listen to Kent Hovind? I like him, heard him a few times, had a set of his tapes but donated them to a school. He will actually answer emails too. :) | ||||||
