Prod, I understood what he meant, and he was right. They need to check backgrounds and they have every right to fear someone who has a criminal background. A child's future is at stake. One of the miracles was the agency I was going through was a Christian adoption agency and they DID understand tha...

Prod, That's definately true, if we put something before God it's wrong. And I guess the way Ella explained it was right on target. BUT...we can be addicted to coffe or tea or chocolate without affecting our witness. Tea and cofee are not gonna cause us to do the things that someone may do when they...

Kateliz, Let's see....God creates billions of people, just so He can send them to hell. He does not even give the the posibilty of heaven. They can pray to Him 24-hrs a day and ask Him for salvation...no dice. No thanks girl, you keep that god, he's not mine, I'll not serve him. You have a really sk...

No anger here Kateliz, and I probably don't understand what you mean. But it's what God's love is about that you don't understand.

God is Love. He predestined NO ONE for hell. Simple concept. If you don't understand it, just memorize it...it'll come to light one of these days.

Ella,

Very true...but please don't take my tea, it's all I got left :oops: . I was born and raised in South Carolina, there was sweet tea in my baby bottle.

From an ex-alcoholic I'll tell ya, it ain't the taste, it's simply the addiction. For those of you who can drink a glass of wine, or a few beers and then stop, more power to you, I never could do that...with any drug. If there is a such thing as an addictive personality, then I have it. If I tried i...

Allright I lied, I have one more comment. God is filling heaven with those who choose Him. He gives us every chance in the world to choose Him, and if we do, we spend eternity with Him in heaven. He really doesn't wish to spend eternity with the folks that do not choose Him, because...well, they cho...

Kateliz, You are a real piece of work. CountryBoy wrote: God gets to us God shows us Himself , God Loves us and we love Him back, enough to WANT to give our money, and our time and ourselves . That's the whole big enormous miraclous thing. We have a free will, yet we choose to do His will over ours....

Kateliz Wrote:[/quote] And if we have free-will and God does not interfere with that, how can He be in control of what happens on earth?

K wrote and using a lot of the reasoning ability God gave us when He created us in His image! Yep, we need to add some of that good ole common sense to the mix. Come on Kateliz, God doesn't want a bunch of puppets that can't decide if they want to follow Him or not. Don't you think He's a little big...

Kateliz,

I love that name, my daughter's name is Katie Elizabeth, after my and my wife's grandmothers.

But that extremist calvanistic stuff reeks of a cult. Is it considered a cult? If not, I hereby give in cult status, God knew I was gonna make it a cult and thus it is so.

If God ordained the sin I've done, then He's not the kinda God I wanna serve, because I've done some down right horrible things. God does not orchestrate our sin, He abhores it. Although He will use it to advance His Kingdom. And I really don't get the part that some folks think we never had a free ...

OK, I can go with that answer. People who don't believe in God or maybe not the Christian God are not evil in the sense of a Charles Manson or any other of the sensational crime stories we've all heard most of our lives. In fact, some can certainly be less evil (in that sense) than someone who is a ...

j316, Not sure what other kind of evil you mean or what NT you may be reading. The NT's I've read say that we are all sinners, even the 'SAVED'. Sin is evil no matter how humanity may try to paint it. God hates sin (which is evil), the only possible way we can escape God's wrath because of our inate...

Thanks Felgar,

I kinda thought it was inspired myself...when I heard someone say it :lol:

So it's not original, but always will be valid.
