42 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101638 | ||
Please elaborate Searcher. The post you attach your note to seems to be the post that finally got the point across. Don't hold back my dear brother. Say it like you feel it. But... Please say it with a biblical foundation. For, as is in all my posts, that is the foundation on which I will respond. As to the line you speak of. If I am to be "digitally martyred" in this forum for stating the Word in it's unleavened purity, then I will continue to praise His name, and pray for those who were, and are too blind to see. Exhorting In Christ George |

43 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101619 | ||
John, you seem a little wishy-washy on the subject. Will one who commits suicide, go to heaven or not? There is no "maybe." It is a simple yes or no. you seem to agree in a feeble way. Believers are just as human as any sinner. They simply march to the sound of a different drummer. They are just as likely, if not more so, than any sinner to face trials and tribulations. The only difference is faith. I like to look on faith as a Christian tape measure. Some are tall. Some short. Still some are midgets. I can see how when beat down to the ground a midget Christian might kill himself, but like yourself, I can’t imagine a Christian with any amount of faith killing himself. It seems you answered what appears to be your own doubt. You portray a "once saved, always saved" belief. I am sorry. I have seen where in scripture this thought could be mistakenly derived, but if one applies the "entire bible," they will also read therein that one "can remove his name from the lamb’s book of life." However, this is a doctrinal issue and, I believe an improper topic for discussion in this forum. "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." Irrevocable, yes. No one can take them away. But one (can) give them up. In Christ George |

44 | Jehonadab. Who is your master? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101511 | ||
This question was dirrected to "Jehonadab," but you answered it Jon. You are now welcome to consider and answer the following. It is apparent that that there was once an angel who felt the same way. I contend that the latter part of your answer contradicts the first part. Like it or not, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other..." It is apparent which you despise. Which do you love and hold to? It is either one or the other. Matthew Henry wrote that there is no middle ground. It is either love or hate, yes or no, good or bad, Heaven or hell. You are a smart person. You know which you wish to choose. Dear soul, in your own words, what is your problem? Exorting in Christ George |

Please forgive me, my dear friend, but you make it appear as though you are searching for something God alone can provide. Without at least a minute amount of faith, you are not going to see that something when you run head long into it. We Christians are far from perfect. Some are further than others. Still yet, some are so far away that they are only "called" Christians, for lack of calling them what they really are, hypocrites. If you are really searching for truth, don’t depend on others. You can learn from others, but don’t depend on anything but the Spirit for truth, for “all man are liars.” In a confounded way, you remind me of myself many years ago. Perhaps this is why I have come down so hard on you. Every time I have ever reached out to anyone, I have been let down, disgraced and discouraged. I finally realized that there is no one I can depend on other than the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. One has to believe in something before he can believe in anything… I noted what you consider the discrepancies in the bible very early in my “pre Christian” life. Even then, I knew that there was much that I did not know. I did not allow those “doubts” to mature. From your posts, you seem to be feeding and nurturing your doubts. Again, I will have to tell you that there MUST be at least a grain of faith before there is a chance. Yet, HE can do anything, and perhaps your time simply hasn’t come yet. Wait patiently. Don’t be discouraged. It took nearly 49 years for me to call myself a Christian, for I knew myself and I refused to become a hypocrite such as those of whom you make note. . READ MY PROFILE.” “poor in spirit” is not what you depicted, and most assuredly not what I was referring to. Wicked and evil would be better suited. Just a thought you may want to consider. The post that I responded to, made it appear as though you were simply looking for fuel for a fire. I am sure you have heard of "the wolf in sheep’s clothing." In Christ George |

48 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101443 | ||
Aixen7z4, yours is a truly a tender and heart warming profile, but compared to yourself; I am as the beggar at the gate. You have the upbringing. I only have the meager necessities. It is my desire to spread what little I have, for like yourself, what I have is greater than the greatest of worldly riches. Yours appears to be a gift of eloquence. Mine is a simple gift of exhortation. One I am still in the process of perfecting. Once perfected, I am sure all will admire my gift as they do yours. The only problem is that by that time neither of our gifts will be necessary, for the race will have been run and our team will have crossed the finish line in Glory. Until then, all I have is what I have. And though I will continue to strive for perfection, I will be content, for I know that He is still working on me. Lovingly in Christ George |

49 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101441 | ||
I thank you for your gentle rebuke. However... Dear Brother, if you call this less than gentle, then you don't know harsh, for how can one be a believer if he does not believe in the word of Him whom he profess' belief. This is to call our Savior a liar and to fool ones self. I wonder how many who witnessed Christ speaking to the Scribes and Pharisees thought his statements less than gentle. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites... Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But woe unto you, Pharisees! Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them." How many in this forum would come down heavy on another who used such language as this? I make no appologies for striving to live by, witness by, and boldly state the Word in its unleavened form. My prayer is that by His will, grace and guidance we should all strive to thus. Exhorting in Christ George |

50 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101440 | ||
Searcher. I do not answer to you. As yourself, I answer to a higher power. Should Lockman agree with you, I am sure they will take appropriate action. Otherwise any who do not want to hear truth should avoid my posts. Prove me wrong with scripture and I will admit fault and cease stating the Word. Otherwise, you might want to consider my words of exortation. "Spare the rod and spoil the child." Are there not a bunch of spoiled brats who have grown to spoiled adults in this generation?

53 | Just wondering about your wandering | 1 John 2:2 | GeorJoy | 101379 | ||
Dear soul, anyone can copy and paste. I asked a few simple questions. You return nearly 4,000 words and not a single answer. Do you really think anyone would read such a poorly constructed letter? I would have to say that no one who values their eyesight would. I scanned it. I have yet to see any semblance of an answer to a single question I have posed. If you are incapiable of answering a dirrect question with a dirrect answer, my final quote is as follows; For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. Per Mr Webster Vanity: 1 : something that is vain, empty, or valueless 2 : the quality or fact of being vain 3 : inflated pride in oneself or one's appearance : CONCEIT George |

54 | I'm skeptical | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101370 | ||
Per Matthew Henrys Commentary concerning Mat7:13, Mat7:14. Observe here, 1. The account that is given of the bad way of sin, and the good way of holiness. There are but two ways, right and wrong, good and evil; the way to heaven, and the way to hell; in the one of which we are all of us walking: no middle place hereafter, no middle way now: the distinction of the children of men into saints and sinners, godly and ungodly, will swallow up all to eternity.

55 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | GeorJoy | 101348 | ||
Navy!!! I started out in VA 174 in Jax, Fl, went to Va66 at Cecil Field, made 3 Med cruses and 1 NATO on the USS Independance, then went to Pinecastle Electronic Warfare range in Deland, Fl, then up to Norfolk for more sea duty on the USS Dewight D Eisenhower, which was the newest aircraft carrier at the time, made a couple cruses on that one and finally got some brains in my head and got out after 8 years and started majoring in civilian life. Shortly b4 I got out out, I managed to get my GED. Didn't ever really need it till I decided to further my education. That was 25 yrs ago. If only I'd have known then what I know now! Or at the very least, "if I'd have only paid a little more attention to those who, back then were in the position I'm in now." George |

I once heard that Atheist were amoung the strongest believers. I don't remember why though. Personally, I have never met an Atheist, whom I felt truly "didn't believe in God." Doubtfull? Yes. Actual disbelief; No, for most Atheists aren't stupid. Even Satan himself believes. Yet there are those who say he dosen't exist either. I don't believe they, either are truly that STUPID. Perhaps I give such people more credit than they desirve... His Forever George |

59 | "a thorn in the side"? or Not? | 1 John 2:2 | GeorJoy | 101029 | ||
"Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself? Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them." (Ecc 7:16-18) "Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself? Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them." (Ecc 7:16-18)" ------------- ---------------- I was simply addressing your note. When one “rocks the boat” they are often labeled “self righteous” or what you called “excessively righteous.” When one trys to do as the word instructs and correct a brother, that ones shortcomings are frequently thrown back at him or her, thus causing a division in the church, and defeating the original purpose of the individual who “rocked the boat.” This is not to say that there are not those who are “self righteous.

Congrats my friend. This time you got me down to the word "impaled." My Jesus was NOT "impaled." You appear to be a learned person. Perhaps you missed the definition of this word in your learning. 1 : to join (coats of arms) on a heraldic shield divided vertically by a pale 2 a : to pierce with or as if with something pointed; especially : to torture or kill by fixing on a sharp stake b : to fix in an inescapable or helpless position. This is not how Christ died! Perhaps your learning is from others who have little or no faith in the "LIVING WORD OF GOD" I note that although you have a total of 20 posts on this forum, you have not taken the time to create a personal profile. Would you care to state your position as to where your belief or disbelief in God, His Son and His word is concern? In skimming your posts, I see the answer to my previous question. I see such a mindless confusion that there is no doubt that you are a JW. You probably won’t admit it, but I am sure dear brother that you have come to this forum because you are looking for truth. Deep down, you know that what you have been taught is incorrect. Or, at the very least, you have a doubt thereof. Open your mind and heart and He WILL come in. This forum will assist even the JW, if the person’s heart is open to truth, and allows assistance. If however you are a devout JW. You are probably here to spread your confusion. Keep in mind dear soul; Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. And if you don’t believe in the Word as the living word of God, keep this in mind; if I am wrong and you are right, what will I have lost. However, if I am right about the Word being God breathed, and you are wrong, you will loose your eternal soul. That’s strong language. But it is FACT… I'm not that familiar with JW. I will NOT be misled. I am only human and I know that even I can get confused and weak. What I have heard from JW is "HOGWASH." Forgive me, but diplomacy is not my strong point. George |
