62 | question to smoke pot or not | Gen 1:12 | Jeshuafreak | 55120 | ||
Thank you for this post. -Jeshuafreak****: Dear elders in Christ, and, new Christians, and, those of you that are visiting this forum and may not know Jesus Christ as savior, I must say that this thread about smoking pot brings tears to my eyes, not because of the content of the postings, but, because of the subject itself. Please allow me a little liberty here if you will. I am an ex-street gang member, pot smoker, acid user, crack user, and other drugs that I do not even remember. In addition I am an ex-drug dealer. Please, please, please do not take this matter of pot smoking lightly! I must apoligize because I have not read every posting in this thread, but, I have seen some commentary that says, and this is not the exact wording, that smoking pot is "OK", or, "With proper use is not a problem", and, "There are bad experiences and good experiences with smoking pot". It is with a sorrowful heart and tears that I share the following with you because the old man is dead forever, but, I am compelled to post this. I have seen, as well as experienced, both good and bad effects of pot. I have smoked it, eaten it, and made hashish from it. I've been to the hospital with people who have smoked it. I have witnessed brutal beatings of people as a result of pot smoking parties. Orgies are a result of pot smoking. I have seen, and it is with many tears that I write this my friends, little children go uncared for to the point of unchanged diapers for days, unfed, naked, left alone, and "high" from pot being smoked in the same room. When high, the children were disoriented, falling off of furniture at times because they could not sit upright, and not in there right mind. I'm sorry, I cannot go on friends, tears have turned to weeping. There is more though, more that I do not want to remember. Those of you that are Christians and desire to smoke pot please see the following from the KJV. I know what pot can do with the imagination. 2 Corinthians 10 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Thank you my Lord and my God and my Savior for loving me enough to pull out of that life! In the Love of Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

63 | what is your point? | Gen 1:12 | Jeshuafreak | 55198 | ||
"NA is good, if you sincerely work the program with a mature sponsor and don't just attend meetings and listen. But more importantly, you really need to have your program under the supervision of a qualified professional substance abuse counselor that you meet with in addition to your sponsor." *******Too much new age funk in NA. They don't take to kindly to Christians,,especially out spoken Christians like myself. There is a group called overcomers that meets on Mondays at 7pm at my church.***** "Once you have completed the program, then you will be ready to be salt and light for others, perhaps by being a sponsor to them. " ******Yes we call them mentors too..and you can find alot of them in a good well balanced protestant church**** "Its clear you have submitted yourself to Christ, now submit yourself to another person who can hold you accountable and help you constructively overcome what you have not yet dealt with." ****Yes it is a slippery slope this thing called sin..**** Parable you are truly a brother thank you and God bless you. -Josh |

My sister in law is a crack addict | ||||||
65 | what is your point? | Gen 1:12 | Jeshuafreak | 55567 | ||
My belief is that there is nothing in our lives that stands apart from scripture... the root cause of any addiction is sin... and being out of step with God's best for our lives. If a certain group...be it substance abuse recovery or the like...if they are not firmly rooted in God's word than I ssteer clear. I seen what the world offers for help....self-help has gotten me no where but away from God.. I am into God-help. Watch out for the craftiness of the enemy of our souls. He will never expose himself in his naked deformity , he likes to make it look good. Remember way back in Genesis? The tree looked good for food... PS We have a Christian counselor at my church.. and I am going to see him next sunday... |

FROM ONE BLOOD GOD CREATED ALL PEOPLE. WE ARE ALL ONE RACE. THE HUMAN RACE. We just have different levels of melanin.

68 | Jephthah and the burnt offering? | Judges | Jeshuafreak | 52794 | ||
THE FAITH OF A CHILD You wrote---- "She has shared this situation with me and is very concerned because the infants were not baptised before burial. She said that she has learned since then from reading that she could have baptised them herself."------- The child is undoubtably with the Lord. They died before the age of accountability. If the child is old enough to know that what they do is either wrong or right..then they are old enough to accept Christ into their heart. The Gospel of Christ Jesus is simple enough for even a child to understand but it seems to get flooded with RELIGIOSTY the older we get or the deeper into ones religion we get. LET US GET BACK TO BASICS. The little child can be told the gospel like this, "You know ,Billy, what you did was wrong." He nods his little head, "uh huh." "You also know that it doesn't make me very happy. Well, we all have a bigger Daddy who is God in heaven He isn't happy either when we do wrong things. He wants us to do right things, but we can't always. We will goof it up once in a while. The good thing to do is say your sorry for what you did and try not to do it again. Even I make mistakes and have to say I am sorry for what I did. (this is assuming your child knows the real reason we celebrate Christmas and Ressurection Sunday) "Billy, you know about baby Jesus, and you know about him growing and never doing anything wrong. Well He did that his whole life. Even when bad men came to hurt him and then killed him on the cross. That was really sad but the Good News is that 3 days later Jesus woke up with a brand new body, one that could never die again. Billy, do you know why He died?" Billy shakes his head, "uh uh". "Billy, Jesus died so we could have all the wrong things we do forgotten. WE still have to try not to do bad things, but God sent His Son Jesus to show us how we are to live, that's why your daddy is always reading the Bible and telling you stories from the Bible. You know, like the Jonah and the big fish? Did you know that Jesus can live in your heart and help you do good things?" Billy shakes his head, "uh uh." "Well He can and He wants to. Do you want Him in your heart to help you start doing good things?" Billy nods his head, "uh huh." "OK good He would like that very much. (notice I put the emphasis on HE would like that not I would like that. We don't need to manipulate them into accepting Jesus into their heart, the Holy Spirit will nudge them in His own way, we just need to tell our children about the Lord.) "Ok Billy, Jesus will never be rude and come into your heart without you asking Him. You have to let Him. Understand? If you want Him to come in then say this, "Jesus I am sorry for all the bad things I have done and I want to make your Daddy happy by doing right things. Will You help me? Will You come to live in my heart and make all the bad stuff forgotten and make my heart brand new? Thank You Jesus for loving me and dying for me and for waking up too. I love You Jesus and thank you for wanting to live in my heart." (never tlak down to your kids always meet them on their level, eye to eye, you will be surprised of how much they understand. They are smarter than us sometimes. As adults we tend to over-intelectualize things. God bless you all and I hope this helps some people.) AND FOR ALL THE BIG PEOPLE OUT THERE---- Sola-Scriptura!! http://www.mbrem.com/-- Read the book of James, for a faith that works. Letter to the (Roman Catholics)----And all the rest of us too. Romans 8:29-31 29For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those He predestined, He also called; those he called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? |

No not too sqeemish. I have been reading through the entire Bible along with Max McLean. (copy and paste this URL)--------------http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible/----------click on any of the books from NIV version and you will be able to listen to Max McLean-----I have made it up to 1 Chronicles 15 now. What a parralel of our Christian walk with the Israelites! I have gotten so much more than I realized I would out of the Old Testament, though I have to be honest, my eye was starting to glaze over during the looooonnnnggggg list of geneologies. Thank the Lord that Max McLean can hold ones attention. I have also been reading along with Max online. Good to get the Word in the ear gate and the eye gate at the same time. It keeps me focused and helps to keep my mind from wandering. Oh yeah, I was going to ask you about the woman who came to rescue her husband. She came out after the other man and grabbed him by the testicles. Her hand was cut off. Now there was no specific reason, other than her action. Is this because she was not letting her husband fight his own battles? Or was her hand now considered unclean? Either way I think this was a rather harsh punishment to do to her. I guess she learned something...heh, this still is quite harsh. later, jeshuafreak |

75 | Hi Joe!! | Proverbs | Jeshuafreak | 53052 | ||
Hi Joe!!- By the way I did some more research on that site **http://withchrist.org/center.htm*** WithChrist .ORG-- They check out as far as I am concerned. They agree with my philosophy as far as being a good Berean. This is what they wrote in their About Us section.*** Thank you for your interest. Similar to the Apostle Paul, we are employed full-time as well as joyfully serve in this ministry designed to provide spiritual growth to members of His Body. The heart of our modest ministry is personal email correspondence with believers who are hungry to grow in their spiritual life and service. We seek to guide believers into study that is suited to their unique situations, seeing that they become "established in grace" and on their own with the Lord as soon as possible (2 Peter 3:18). Our goal is to stay quietly in touch with the Lord, being prepared by Him to share with those who reach out in need. Thus each learns to depend upon Him, and never us. Consequently, our expectation is for correspondents to eagerly study the Word of God (66 books of the Bible) as well as recommended Christian literature--understanding that the goal is to anchor in truth and more fully know the Lord Jesus Christ. While our ministry does include observations both sociological and psychological, our primary focus is theological and doctrinal truth. We view Scripture within a moderate Calvinistic, Pauline dispensational framework. Our material is not presented from the viewpoint of scholars, but rather that of folks who enjoy passionate thinking. We believe that the content of a person's beliefs, over time, affect all realms of life--or, "ideas have consequences." "For as he thinks in his heart [mind], so is he" Proverbs 23:7. ****** JOE!! please let me know if you find anything heretical about them that I overlooked...I was a little surprised with some of there comments on Religious Humanism. Which I didn't know about before. I found at another site an article on this very thing.... The more I dig into this stuff the more I see how little informed I have been. Am I in a safe church...hmm. That is my big question lately. I am not going to leave my fellowship I believe there are a large number of true Christians there. I want to help the flock by bringing truth to them and testing what I hear. I don't want to abandon them like a sinking ship. I know enough truth to recognize the counterfeit. Though I am still learning and always will be. -Jeshuafreak |

78 | Are you refering to the thief ? | Matt 10:1 | Jeshuafreak | 54062 | ||
I read the folowing post and I would like to say AMEN!!!!!! Halelujah and thank you Jesus!!!! And by the way JOE!! Thank you for the books you sent You are a real genuine guy in my book. Try not to slap this guy around too much though the tone was sarcastic. We can be truthful and good apologist without beating them up... And if I took your passion wrong forgive me I still got one hundered and fifty more posts to read on this subject.. Just kidding. God bless you all take care and remember you are accountable first to the Lord He is the one sees the intention of our hearts ...-Jeshuafreak *******Answer: Yes, I have been forgiven as well. All of God's people have been forgiven. However, you are saying that the thief on the cross was forgiven without any atonement being made for his acts of rebellion against an infinitely holy God. You are saying that God, who is perfectly just, whose eyes are too pure to look on evil (Habakkuk 1:13), simply shrugged his shoulders and said "Okay, you are forgiven; no sacrifice necessary." Wow, I wish Jesus had known how easy that would be! Then he would have NEVER had to come to earth and die for ANYONE. He could have just shown up and said, "Everyone's forgiven! I am going home!" How cruel of his Father to let him think that he would actually have to DIE and face God's infinite and holy wrath when it was completely unnecessary! Remission of sins without the shedding of blood! I am going to go clip Hebrews 9:22 out of my Bible right now! Little tip: Go read Romans 3:19-26. Although your eyes are blinded by Satan, you will see in the last verse how Christ' death was the grounds for our justification, so that God would be at the same time JUST and the JUSTIFIER of the one who has faith in Jesus. Leaving the sins of the thief unanswered for would not have been just, and it is thanks to Christ's sinless life and substitutionary death that EVERYONE who has ever been justified has been justified. Jesus died for the sins of Abraham and David and the thief on the cross and Peter and Paul and me. Any other scenario is (a) unbiblical and (b) ultimately makes Jesus' death an unnecessary one. --Joe! |
