Quite a jerker, Hank! A few of the tabloids covers came to mind... secret meetings and all... some of them may not be from outerspace, but they sure knew how to dodge presidential asteroids! God Bless! Angel |

Amen, EdB! Who was it that once said: "You can give a man a fish and he'll be hungry in a few hours or you can teach a man to fish and he will never hunger again?"--the quote may not be precise! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Starfire! Phew!... that's quite a load off my back! I understand your concerns... as a young child I hated the Jews (had never met one before) because they killed Jesus... as I began to understand more about the Holy Scriptures that thought/feeling faded... I can't even remember if I was four or three I just have a vague memory of being in the Church's grounds and speaking with other kids on Sunday School's material... Just as strong as that temporary feeling was, is my conviction that we (Christians) must pray for the conversion of man, and specially of the Jewish people... God's Divine Plan alloted for our coming into Grace by allowing the Jews to rebel... but as Scripture say, they are the natural Olive and we the ingrafted... Read Romans 9:1 through 11:32--this is a wonderful starting point to understanding why the Jews rejected Christ, why the Gentiles were brought into the fold, and how it will all end (specifically 11:32)! I liken the blindness of the Jews to that of the disciples when Jesus appeared to them after His resurrection: some were granted the sight to see Him and recognize Him while others were not granted the sight right away, but after a lengthy interchange... and even doubtful Thomas was not cast away but shown mercy and patience! I am sure that the problem of the Jewish people have transgressed history partly because of Divine Will and partly due to human nature: can you imagine you being the owner of a piece of land, a land that your family had for hundreds of years, and thabn one day someone comes along and takes the land from you? Your ego would almost explode! Now bring that up a notch (well, a million zillion notches) and we have the Jewish people vs. these Christians who have taken their God away and made Him in the image of that Christ character... totally unacceptable! It is our obligation to help them come back to the fold... the prayer of the saints can accomplish much (James 5:17-18; Ephesians 6:18) and it pleases God! You demonstrate great excitement for the Holy Scripture and for our Lord's roots (prophecies), please continue your quest and your life in Christ Jesus... be patient, though, if the people of Israel have not discover the fulness of Truth in over two thousand years, we (this generation of Christians) cannot expect to get it all right away either! I know of an organization of Messianic Jews, a magazine on Christianity with the Jewish perspective, and a couple of websites that can help you--I must look for the respective contacts and addresses... I will tag this segment of the thread as soon as I get them... If you ever want to discuss any of the material/Biblical passages you can drop an email at jcrichtonfs1@yahoo.com--I'll do my best to assist you... though I must warn you that I am biased towards Jesus... so my perspective migh not have the Jewish flavors/ambiance that you are getting from their site... God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Hank! If you believe the tabloids... they live among us! And for some reason they have made some place in South/Central America a spaceship port where they go to replenish their spent fuels (I have a little problem with that one since I cannot see a jetliner pumping coal into its fuel tank to replenish spent jet-fuel)... They are said to have huge mental prowes... they can take people at will and since they have the ability to bend time and space they can travel back and forth through time... doing whatever they please... I do find that they are (collectively as it is not just one species but several that are constantly visiting us) suffering from some type of persecution complex or some sort of schizophrenic delusion: with all their power and abilities they are afraid to be seen in public! God Bless! Angel |

85 | The gift of God | Mark 1:10 | JCrichton | 148960 | ||
Hi, terrib! It amazes me how close they can come to the Truth... it is almost a pop-faith... (the hand of God, the sleeper, the universe's super being (sounds like quizaht zadharak--or something to that effect), the "voice"... and doing a crossover to "the force..." though not quite exacting, they are speaking of Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit! ...if only they would drink from the Fountain... perhaps they would discover why they seem to have needed to introduce such themes! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, EdB! You don't have to go too far... in North America you can witness the soup kitchens that would only serve those who come to their proselytizing... (I am not claiming that all soup kitchens are ran the same way--I have been told of some that do)... they might think that they are emulating Christ, but in His case, He did not seek contractual agreements... even when only one of ten lepers returned to Him, Jesus did not take back His physical healing from those who refused to thank God for His mercy! Even some "well-intentioned" workers travel through the US teaching borderline believers about their brand of "Christianity," placating even the slightest opposition (yeah, its war out there, in the streets of the US of A!)... God Bless! Angel |

88 | Filled with the holy spirit? | Mark 1:10 | JCrichton | 148893 | ||
Hi, Ray! It was a pure oversight... I am not as good a proof reader as I would like to be... it was only after my reply was posted that I caught the error... the Holy Spirit is God so He is the Giver! As far as the translation... my language skills are limited to English and Spanish (I can derive some understanding from certain root words from the related languages such as Italian, Portuguese, and French and some Latin), so I cannot add much to the translation of Greek... I can relate this argument to Scripture... and state with certainty that both translations would be correct as we know that Jesus told us that He would send the Holy Spirit from the Father (John 15:26), and He also said that He, the Holy Spirit, would be with us and in us (John 14:17)... Peter, in Acts 2:14-18, reminds us that the prophet Joel prophesied that the Holy Spirit would come in the last days (Jesus' incarnation, death, resurrection and ascension)... finally, we know that the Apostles gave the Holy Spirit to the Believers through the imposition of the hands (Acts 8:18)... Since the Holy Spirit is God, He can be both the Gift and the Giver--He is Omnipresent being both able to indwell in the Believers as well as be among the Believers! ...for the purpose of illustration: We find in Acts the description of a direct intercesion by the Holy Spirit as He commands a Believer to seek out a specific uniniciated man... this man who is thirsting for the Truth is brought into the fold and it is the Holy Spirit (the Giver) who Wills this anointment (the gift) of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 8:26-39) Ray, now I need clarification... the Holy Spirit is seen by some as some type of energy or something like it... so when you say, "I simply am suggesting the holy spirit as a gift," are you saying that you believe that the Holy Spirit is restricted to an energy or the embodiment of charismas/dynamics? God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Doc! I stand... errr, sit corrected! You do have sufficient background to have ascertained, through cross referencing, that the author of these posts is male--I mean, Data would have had it in less than a nanosecond! -_- On the PS... I know what you mean on both count... though on Samantha Carter, we must understand that this is precisely the goal of man (non-believer): to purge any semblance of God from the face of the earth! ...scientist of past (as well as the "educated" people) boasted of how ignorant we are to think that we are the only creatures in the vastness of the universe... they have insinuated that we are, as a species, far inferior to the many (theorized) species that outrank us in everything including their superior secular existence... Is that not supremely irrational... to think that man's highest goal is to be less than some hypothesized insectoid or lizard? God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Doc! ...actually it is a cultural culpa... in North America the name Angel is almost exclusively identified as a female name... it was not till I got to high school that I found out that there were other guys named Angel in the US... and even in the television culture I can only recall one male character (series with same name) named Angel! ...so, it is understandable that you did not conclude anything other than the norm--even the screen name is cryptic as only those familiar with the Farscape series would readily pick up the John on JCrichton! ...Samantha Carter is the champ since she embodies intelligence, beauty, deftness and feminism without hollow wood's patronizing, sexualizing or masculinizing of the female gender!... she is as God inted her to be: an intelligent and capable woman! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Mommapbs! No, problem... the Lord knew where your heart was and that is all that truly matters... for we are no longer Jews or Gentiles, lords or slaves, male or female; we are but one in the Lord. (Galatians 3:28--paraphrased!) God Bless! Angel |

Hi, EdB! Excellent post! It amazes me how much time and divisiveness goes into the arguments Christians conjure up in order to separate ourselves from other Christians! I may be a simple man... but, how old was John the Baptist when the Holy Spirit touched him and his mother and allowed them both to recognize their God?... so why do we attempt to limit the Holy Spirit by generating the various formulas that simply serve to create schism in the Body of Christ?... Christ did not called us to love those in "our" group; He called us to be His disciples and to demonstrate to the world that we are His by loving one another and by being one with one another as we are one with Him! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Emmaus! I think that the problem lies in that many have equated Scriptural Doctrine to social morality... the latter changes according to what is currently held as "progressive thought" ...even when indulging in principles as old as Sodom's and Gomorrah's! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, regguh! I though that St. Malachy was a variation in spelling of St. Malachi, please forgive my error! I am not aware of St. Malachy's prophecies... but if you give a little time I can research the topic for you... just drop a line to let me know how to proceed. God Bless! Angel |

99 | we are saints | 1 Cor 6:1 | JCrichton | 148692 | ||
Hi, Doc! No problem... my personal philosophy is that while we attempt to convey a thought we are afforded the opportunity of deepening our own understanding... and, if that fails, our Lord Commanded that we are to abide in Him (His Peace, His Love); that we are to serve (edify, protect, respect, encourage) one another... In Christ's Love! Angel |

Hi, Hank! No problem... I've heard the expression ever since I can remember... but I still don't get it... would the jay bird not have to be featherless in order to be naked? ...I mean, I've seen some caged birds that for whatever reasons they have pluck out their feathers... quite a pitiful sight!... I was playing on the words and on the grotesqueness of such a bird (naked due to plucking out its feathers) and juxtapose the idea of this thread: a Christian plucking off his/her clothes in order to "feel" more contentment/peace... would this action not be the same as a dog going back to its vomit? Clearly, we are called to imitate Christ, not the whims of the world! ...when Adam and Eve lost their innocence and became cognizant of their nakedness two things happened: a) They made makeshift coverings and hid from God, and, b) God created clothing for them. Would Christians not be violating God's own mandates if we seek to expose ourselves as an attempt to get more in tune with ourselves and God? God Bless! Angel |
