81 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134022 | ||
God knows. He knew. And He is. We who know His word, and in whom is His word, know too. It is rather tiring, wouldn't you say, trying to open the eyes of those who claim to see. So sadly do we see their blindness. So proudly do they reveal their ignorance. We will admit that we too, see through glass darkly. but then face to face: now we know in part; but then shall we shall know even as also we are known. I have often wanted to take on the same "don't care" attitude you profess, dear soul, but there is something inside which tells me that this is not why I am here. This is not why our Savior lived and died. PLEASE, as Christians, lets not advocate a "don't care" attitude. Neither with politics, nor the salvation of others. For if we can save one aborted child with our vote; prevent one same sex marriage, there will be one more soul who may lead someone else to Christ, one less perverted househole in America, and we will have done at least one usefull thing in life. Don't let the enemy fool you. God Knows, but this does not mean that He does not care. For it is not His will that any should perrish, but that all should know his Son. "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mat 18:14" Were you to get involved, could you possiably save even one of His little ones? In christ GB |

Point 1: There are biblical attributes to this person’s question. If such a discussion is inappropriate for this forum, perhaps this forum is not the forum it appears to be, a biblical discussion forum. Point 2: Being a Christian is not only believing in Christ, but living in Him, and teaching others to do the same. Being a Christian is much more than what you, dear soul, have denoted. Point 3: We cannot pass judgment on anyone, but it is by the authority of the Living Word that we ARE to judge on the ACTIONS of others. Point 4: Perhaps this person’s terminology could have been better chosen, but who are we to judge his heart, and what he is trying to say? Can we not simply correct the terminology? Are we not all “saved sinners,” or are there some among us who have no sin? Can you Hank, vote for one who is a murderer by association? Or are we, because we are Christians, not to vote, or advocate what it is we are to live by, the Word? If I were to knowingly vote for one who advocates abortion, would I not be just as guilty of killing that innocent infant as would be the doctor who sucked out the cranial matter (brains) from that tiny, helpless, living body? Some Christians desire just to sit on the sidelines and watch. I do not believe this is what Christ taught or why He lived, died and rose again. We are told not to be conformed to the world. We are not told to keep our mouth shut and just sit by and watch while the world is conformed to the enemy. GB |

So true, and so refreshing to see the words of one who actually sees. GB |

85 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134038 | ||
Thank you, dear soul for putting it like it is, without the "political correctness" demanded by so many who profess, yet know not what it is that they profess. Might I add concerning "the party of the Homosexuals, Abortionists (Murderers) and Generations of Welfare recipients", that "Anyone who condones these acts is (not just spiritually blind,) but spiritually DEAD," for we can not serve two masters. Nor can we serve one master while advocating the actions of the other. Those who think otherwise should reevaluate their position in Christ. Sadly, many are into the Word, but it is through their actions and words, that the evidence surfaces, that the Word has yet to make its way into them. GB |

Dear mommapbs, you read my mind and state the words I forget. GB |

87 | Can a Christian be a Democrat? | 1 Cor 1:10 | Glory Bound | 134044 | ||
Will do. Thank you mommapbs, but I stand by statements concerning the posts to which they are attached. I appologize if I appeared to be critical of Hank. Though we often dissagree, I love that fella. I also respect him very much. GB |

88 | Still waiting.... | 1 Cor 8:5 | Glory Bound | 130814 | ||
Whomever one serves, figuratively is their god. Many worship money. They would not give up their god any more than I would give up my God. Exo 20:3 states, "You shall have no other gods before Me." This is not saying that there are any gods other than He. What it is saying is "YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER". Please note that when the word god is capitalized, also look at the word “Me”. the capitalization denotes a reference to the one and only (G)od. Keep in mind also, that one can’t expect to fully understand scripture without reading the whole, or at least, a great majority of it. Please indulge me. I would like to quote a story I read in a book by Tim Lahaye. There was an individual who used the “hunt and peck method” of studying scripture. This method, employed by many is simply a random opening of the Bible in hopes that they will find something of value. This individual opened his Bible to Matthew 27:5 “…And he (Judas) went and hanged himself. He then opened to another passage, Luk 10:37, and discovered, “ Go and do likewise. “ Still a third peck produced the passage, John 13:27 “What thou doest, do quickly. “ Sincerely, many do not know how close the above comes to describing their Bible study methods. I would highly recommend Tim LaHayes book “How to Study The Bible” to any who are sincere in the study of scripture, even to those who are best at the art. In its entirety, scripture is self explanatory, but as with anything else: to determine the facts, one must have familiarized themselves with ALL the pertinent and relevant information, Hope this helps.

"Look within, be depressed. Look without, be distressed. Look above, be at rest." I never heard this said before, but it is sure that I never forget it. Who is Corrie ten Boom? GB |

90 | One God, One Jesus Christ | 1 Cor 8:5 | Glory Bound | 131027 | ||
Hi Tim. What is it that is said concerning the meat of the word, and "a time for everything"? Could "a time for everything" not include a time when one will be ready to learn a particular truth? GB |

91 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Glory Bound | 130578 | ||
I thought there was more meaning than was written. You should see the character "LJeffe" on the AOL Bible board. This person is very learned scripturally, but a classic example of one whos words condemn him. His posts portray self righteous hatred for everyone. He wouldn't last more than a dozen posts on this board before he would be booted. Thank goodness for this boards standards, AND its observances thereof. GB |
||||||
92 | Too many questions? | Eph 4:18 | Glory Bound | 130579 | ||
I think that phrase should be reworded. "There are no dumb "sincere" questions." Well, maybe there are... but it's a nice thing to say anyway. GB |

Truly Tim, your words are inspired, for how could anyone have made it any plainer or put it any more simple? GB |

Assumptions are not scriptural. Please clarify your question and you will get a clearer answer. GB |

96 | Rule or Ideal? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Glory Bound | 130062 | ||
Please forgive my vagueness. One of my many great faults is in assuming that others are aware of what it is that I am stating. For some reason, the term “one woman man” puts me in mind that the word marriage was being totally left out. Wife indicates a married woman. Woman simply indicates a woman. The fact that a man may have loved only one woman, though it could imply to some, actually does not in any way indicate marriage. It is the way of the enemy to imply what one would expect would be there, but when it comes down to the bottom line, that implication is totally ignored and most often undefinable because when the statement is examined, it did not say what may have been implied. In other words, the statement “one woman man” could easily be advocating just what it says. One woman, one man. Where is Gods ingredient? Marriage. "in such a day as this.” With the condition of morals and the sly tactics of the enemy this day and time… Need I say more? I do not yet know Doc. I was simply noting the implications I saw. I sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone who has misunderstood what I was saying. GB |

99 | Rule or Ideal? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Glory Bound | 130179 | ||
Your thought is about as close as I could have worded it, with the exception of the essence of my thought, which I have a hard time putting into words myself. In an attempt... There is so much deception out there today that I have become, perhaps a little too leary of anything that has the slightest appearance of possible deception. I know there is a name for that. I call it my "gut feeling." Whenever I have gone against that "gut feeling" I have inevitably gone wrong. As an example, I believe in total fairness to everyone, no matter the appearance. Yet I have found that, to date, every time I have ever given anyone "the benefit of the doubt" when I experienced that "gut feeling," It has been proven that I should have gone with that "gut feeling" in the 1st place. Though Doc had no ulterior motive, I can only imagine what his phrase could have escalated into. It may sound a little dramatic, but it is not unimaginable that the a-bomb could have originated from a simple and pure curiosity on the part of an individual who wouldn't have hurt a flea. GB |

Hank, you have read me totally wrong. I am blaming or shooting fire at no one. I made a simple statement, which could have, and has since been clarified, and I stick by what I have said to date. Language and terminology changes throughout the times. I'm sorry if you misunderstood my intentions in my post. Have a Gay day GB |
