Matthew Henry Comments http://bible.cc/acts/21-26.htm 21:19-26 Paul ascribed all his success to God, and to God they gave the praise. God had honoured him more than any of the apostles, yet they did not envy him; but on the contrary, glorified the Lord. They could not do more to encourage Paul to go...

Paper or plastic or Jerky!

Canuckster, I have lived just about everywhere there is to live in Northern Ontario and some places in Southern Ontario. When I was young I was a rambling man. I moved and traveled a lot. Not much for riding the rails though I preferred the car or truck! :lol: I have some family in Brampton. I live ...

simple words

I will try my best to put what has been said into simple words. I don't think anyone is saying that: You can simply say that you believe Jesus existed and died on the cross and then thats the end of it...... Just keep on leading your sinful life! No it doesn't quite work that way! When it says "...

first question

And you think that's what George Bush is doing? Trying to convert nations? It doesn't matter what I think or you think as we are not the atheists. The original question of the thread is how to deal with the objection of an atheist with the goal of removing it as a barrier to his accepting of Christ...

stray

If we deny God and he denies us as a result, does that mean that if we go from being faithful to faithless, that He won't ever let us regain faith? Can we stray from the faith and then be reborn again ? or rereborn? I certainly hope so, otherwise I am doomed. I strayed from faith and from living a ...

Put aside your american pride

I believe you are confusing these issues and that that is at least a partial source of your frustration and perhaps as well your difficulty communicating it. No I am not confusing these issues your are forgetting the original question that started the thread. I am not getting frustrated I knew befo...

Meat and hunting

I real don't know about how well meat lasts for 2 years. I find the Hamburger gets pretty old tasting after 1 year, although still safe to eat. Really I think its best to eat it within a year. I buy from a meat packer and not direct from a farmer. Therefore I can buy a side or a quarter even and sti...

doubts

Lee Strobel deals with this in his book "Case for Faith"
The topic of how can I be a Christian if I have doubts.
If we all are honest, we all have doubts.
Having doubts doesn't mean you lost faith.

correction

Bluesman was saying that he could not believe that animals would be treated badly when profit was involved. I don't think I said that and if I did its not what I meant. I would say that poor treatment of animals can results in loss of profit. When poor treatment results in poor health and spoiled m...

The first question

What I am saying is this is NOT about George Bush and the Iraq war! It bigger then that . It is a modern day example of something that has been going on forever. Its how other can see acts of Christians or people who claim to be Christian. The people who attacked us want this to be a religious war a...

factoryfarming.org

On doing some further research I wish to retract my support of the factoryfarming.org website. The problem comes from the parent group who put the website together. Although I always support better and humane treatment of animals , You need to be aware and watch for hidden agendas. http://www.activi...

websites

I looked at the websites that you posted as much as I could with slow dial-up. You said you don't real agree with PETA yet you post a video from Peta TV. Anyways, I couldn't see the video because I have dial-up. The WashingtonPost site article about growing meat in a Lab. Come on give me a break! Th...

You misunderstand !

You all are misunderstanding what I am writing. I am not sure how you jump to the conclusion that I was anti-bush or anti-american . My wife is an american! I feel like I have been pre-judged. Yet, It could be my poor writing skills. I am in no way saying that Bush and Hitler are alike. I used them ...

baby seals

I think beating baby seals to death with poles with hooks at the end is wrong what do you think. I have not seen first hand so I can only tell you what I have learned. The young baby White coats are no longer harvested. When you say "beating" you probably are thinking that it takes many s...

Bush example

I was using Bush as an example only. An example of someone who claims to be Christian, but through use of his powers has committed a horrible act. Now that act could be justified or not, yet having to kill thousands is still horrible. Now compare that to Hitler, who also was an authority figure. Hit...
