241 | Should Christians practice nonresistance | Lev 26:6 | Norrie | 15977 | ||
You know you can't reason w/terrorists or sociopaths (sp?). They have no qualms about killing. And by the way, since God said "When you go out to war in your own land against the enemy who oppresses you... sound the trumpet... then you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.", and "When you go out to war against your enemies... when the Lord your God delivers them into your hand...", it does not mean that God is against defending oneself or one's country against oppression. |

I know I was on a forum where there was a homosexual man spouting off the "feel good" theology, he did not "buy" the Bible, what it said or believe Jesus should be your personal savior, then he started spouting his minister said...come to find out he was Methodist. From what I've understood about them, they certainly have sunk. | ||||||

The pope started out okay, then he told a lie and other "stuff" followed... too bad people believe the lie though. Date: 2001-11-25 Papal Address Before the Angelus "Paradoxical" Power of Christ Has No Place in Earthly Logic, Pope Says VATICAN CITY, NOV. 25, 2001 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of John Paul II´s address in St. Peter´s Square today, at the end of the canonization of four new saints and before the praying of the midday Angelus. * * * Dearest Brothers and Sisters! 1. This Sunday, the last of the liturgical year, the solemnity of Christ the King of the universe, is celebrated, and the Church invites us to contemplate the royalty of the Redeemer, which is reflected with particular eloquence in the lives of the saints. This morning, in St. Peter´s Basilica, I had the joy of proclaiming four new [saints]: Bishop Giuseppe Marello of Acqui, founder of the Congregation of Oblates of St. Joseph; and three consecrated virgins: Paula Montal Fornés of St. Joseph Calasanz, Leonie Françoise de Sales Aviat, and Maria Crescentia Höss. Their witness shows that the Crucified really "lives and reigns forever." Yes, he is "the living one," "the Lord," and he reigns in the lives of men and women of every place and time, who accept him freely and follow him faithfully. His Kingdom, a "kingdom of justice, love and peace" (Preface) will only be manifested, however, at the end of time. 2. Compared to the criteria of this world, the royalty of Jesus seems to be, so to speak, "paradoxical." In fact, the power that it exercises has no place in earthly logic. It is, on the contrary, the power of love and service, which requires the free gift of self and consistent witness to truth (John 18:37). For this reason, the Lord sacrificed himself as an "immaculate victim of peace on the altar of the Cross" (Preface), knowing that only thus could he rescue humanity, history and the cosmos from the slavery of sin and death. His resurrection attests that he is the victorious King, the "Lord" in heaven, on earth, and under the earth (see Philippians 2:10-11). 3. The creature who more than any other was associated with Christ was Mary, whom he himself crowned Queen of heaven and earth. The saints, whom the Church today presents to us for our veneration, looked to her as their constant model. We also look to her, so that she will help us to "reign" with Christ to build a world where peace "reigns." We must pray ceaselessly to obtain this great gift, which is peace, a gift of which humanity is in such great need. We will invoke it confidently, including with the two initiatives that I announced last Sunday: the day of fasting in December, and the January prayer meeting in Assisi with the representatives of the world´s religions. May Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede for us before her divine Son, immortal King and Lord of peace. [Translation by ZENIT] |

I remember in May we would crown statues of Mary w/flowers and sing her praises. We had our own church ceremony, then all the Cath would meet in ballpark for huge Mary crowning. Mama would set her statue of Mary up in LR and we'd have to pray the Rosary. | ||||||

Tongues is some sort of language manifestation by the Holy Spirit. In Acts it's when they preached in one language and people heard them in whatever language they spoke. Then there's the prayer language that you have no idea what you're saying, it's supposed to be a Heavenly language but I have heard of it being just another language from someplace else on globe too (such as I didn't know you spoke ancient Hrbrew or Swahaili). As you can imagine, I don't have it either. :) But there are Pentecostals and maybe a few other demon. who think that if you don't speak in tongues, you haven't been baptized in Holy Spirit. Then there are other who say that nonsensical babble is from the devil so... | ||||||

251 | Is God really just? | Deut 32:4 | Norrie | 30656 | ||
Ed, I just copied this yesterday on another forum. It is from one of Pat Robertson's books answers questions on Bible: Q How can God send people who never heard of Christ to hell? A God does not send people to hell because they have never heard of Christ. He sends people to hell because they sinned. The judgment for sin will be in relationship to how much they knew. To phrase it another way, it is action in light of privledge. A person living in America has maximum spiritual privledge. Therefore the spiritual standard for America would be the gospel of Jesus and everything in the Old and New Testaments. But someone who grew up in an uncivilized jungle might be held to account for the fact that something in his conscience told him there was a creator worthy of his worship. The Bible says that his conscience will either accuse him or excuse him on the day of Jesus Christ. (Rom 2:14-16) God is not going to comdemn people if their own consciences excuse them. Regretfully, every human being has sinned against his or her own conscience. God does not judge people for failure to believe in Jesus but because they are sinners. The problem is that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23) For those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior, there will be forgiveness and mercy. |

252 | DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS TREE | Judg 4:4 | Norrie | 23434 | ||
I've heard that same argument about the Christmas tree before too. But look at it this way, it describes it pretty well. :) | ||||||
253 | DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT CHRISTMAS TREE | Judg 4:4 | Norrie | 24400 | ||
WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY But what the harm? We would be fair enough to say there is no harm and that such is the True Story of Christmas and all its origins, if it were not for the Scriptures. But the Scriptures speak. 1. As to the Christmas Tree, the Scriptures speak plainly. Turn to Jeremiah, chapter ten, and we find that even in the ancient time of that prophet, that Christmas, with its Tree, was already a worldwide custom! The chapter begins, "Hear the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith Jehovah,"--the words which follow, then, are words of Jehovah God, twice over declared so! Why this great stress on fact that what follows is from Jehovah God instead of being some cranky or silly notion? What does He say? "Learn not the way of the nations--." Then here is something which is already international, worldwide, in its scope! What is it? "For the customs of the peoples are vanity!" The dictionary defines "vanity" as meaning "empty, destitute of reality." Then we are going to learn of a custom that is "destitute of reality," that is not what it is represented as being, but it is a sham. That is, it is a custom that celebrates a thing as being something which really it is not! What is the custom that thus is warned against by Jehovah God? "For one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe." Here, then, is a going to the woods and the getting of a Tree. What next? "They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not." "They deck it" means they dec-orate it, and we are told with the golden and silver tinsels. Here also is the nailing it upright. "Like the palm tree" either means it is ever some evergreen, or, perhaps refers to its uprightness, that it fall not over, the why of its being fastened with hammers and nails. Then come the presents on and about it, verse 9: "There is silver baten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men." Now what is this but disclosure. Cont. |

Part 2 But, do you ask, what means verse five, that "they can neither do good nor can they do evil"? Why this gift-laden tree celebrates one as a god, declared so in this same passage. And this verse tells us the one celebrated can do nothing, is but a dead man--a funny kind of a god wouldn't such an one be? "But,"--on the contrary,--"Jehovah God is the true God," showing this gift-tree is tied up to a false god. What further about him? "Thus shall ye say unto them,"--say to all Christmas observers,--"the gods that have NOT made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens." Verse 11. And in this same passage we hear God say observance of such honors to this god (simply Christmas, as shown by the Christmas Tree) is going to bring such "indignation" from Him that "the Nations" (plural) shall "not be able to abide His indignation"! 2. As to eating in connection with Christmas,-- which means Christmas candies, cake, pies, Christmas dinners,--the Scriptures are again very plain. Eating is a chief characteristic of the Yule season. Look now at Isaiah 65:11-12. "But ye that forsake Jehovah, that forget My holy mountain that PREPARE A TABLE for fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny, I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in MINE eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not!" "Fortune" is one of the literal names for this god as we have seen above (Cicero's Works, De Divitione, vol. 3, p. 77). The King-James (Authorized) version retains the words "Gad" and Meni." Gad is the perfect participle of the verb that means to assault, and is a name for Nimrod as the originator of war as the records of antiquity abundantly show him to have been; and Meni means the Numberer,--a name for the Moon which numbers the months. Just as the Babylonian messiah was worshipped as the star constellation of "Orion, the mighty hunter," so he was also deified as the "Lord Moon," or, "The Man in the Moon." Divinely destined to the Sword are all who partake of Christmas "eats" says Old Testament in Isaiah! What says New Testament? New Testament commands that we never drink or eat any thing in memory of Jesus Christ save the "Lord's Supper" which we are told is never candy, pies, cake or a meal, but is the bare ceremonial partaking of unleavened bread and a sipof the fruit of the vine. This, says New Testament, is the ONLY eating permissable in connection with remembering the Lord Jesus Christ! And yet, you are a "New Testament Christian," are you? Very well, then, if you really are,out go all Christmas candies, drinks, pies, cakes, dinners,--according to both Old and New Testaments! 3. As to Christmas Gifts,--still the Scriptures speak very plainly. Such gifts are described in Jeremiah, chapter ten, which we reviewed above,--the gold and silver gifts, the articles of clothing, the toys and articles all the work of "skilled workmen." All such are there positively forbidden by positive command,--"learn it not"! Also it is there where the Christmas gifts are told of that Jehovah God says His "indignation" shall be poured forth for such on all Nations wherein people so observe, that they shall "not abide His indignation"! Then in Psalm 16:4 (American Revision) we read that Jehovah God says of those who give gifts in connection with a god (in connection with any god) that "their sorrows shall be multiplied" and that He will not take their names on His lips! |

If in 1Sam 16:19 Saul sent for David at Jesse's house, unless this isn't in chronological order, it would seem that Saul knew David already. Plus he was going to give David his armor so if David had already been playing for him, surely he knew him? | ||||||
