Stop and think of how corrupt the world would be now if the Bible never existed, if Christ never taught!
True. Jesus rules! He is the King!

TERRY I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FOLLOWING. Would you please address it. Thank you.

Good gravy woman do you have no shame? There is a time to shut the f*ck up and about one post ago was it.
Caedes
Caedes, thank you. God bless you too.
Terry, this is what you people really have within you. Thank you. I guess this is your idea of living and treating others with respect. GOD is love but this is hate you all have. Thanks for letting others know again that athiests are haters. I guess you can reply to everyone else but not address this type of behaviour from your "followers".

recently to pass the time at the mtg i was dozing thru mathew( while the speaker..whatever..) at any rate.
i found math 17:27 peculiar of a certain smell, lets call it an unpleasantness.,out of respect for u guys.
why would jesus have peter leave, go fishing, and go thru the trouble of finding the 1st fish and a coin to pay the tax inside the mouth of this fish, when all he had to do to hasten the paying of the tax was produce it.
All I have to say about Matthew 17:27 is this:
The the Temple tax which Peter paid For Jesus and himself did not come out of the pocket of their treasurer.
If the disciples had money as Faith teachers claim, Jesus would not have had Peter go fish for a coin, they would have already had it. This is just one of the miracles Jesus did.
Was Jesus rich? Jesus was born in a stable. Jesus gave up all the riches that are his in heaven to become a man and was born to a poor family (not homeless and destitute), his stepfather was carpenter. And Jesus said, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Jesus himself he had no place to lay his head, no permanent home, he constantly traveled.
Do riches prove God's blessings? Nothing could be further from the truth. Their are many who are rich despite their disbelief. Prosperity is not an absolute to show Gods hand in ones life, it might in fact show the opposite.
Proverbs 16:16: tells those who want to pursue God - it is better to get wisdom instead of gold.
Matt 6:19-21: "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Terry:
My son's condition has made me grow up more than I ever would have.
I've also seen how many ways there are to rationalize something unpleasant away...that is...until you can't anymore and actually have to face the truth and DO something constructive.
Then maybe God does have a purpose for doing this then. It is for you.

Over analytical Terry. I asked if you were ok because I thought you were heartbroken about your son. Sorry my mistake.

Terry I am sorry that your child has that problem. It would be tough as a parent to go through that. I would say that God will give you the strength and the courage to go overcome this trying time. Keep praying for your son to be healed. Jesus can do it. If God brings you to it He can bring you through it.
Thank God for your life. He will never leave you.
Would you?

Terry: The person who knows has the most responsiblity. The person with the power to act has the most responsiblity.
Otherwise, you let the inmates run the asylum. This, apparently, is God's "plan".
God gave us choices. Can I just put it this way? You can lead the horse or a donkey to the water but you can't make it drink. Or you can take a person out from the gutter but you can't necessarily take the gutter out of them. God cannot be blamed for things He warned us about. If He says don't do it, why do it? And if He says to do such and such, why don't we? We are the ones who are at fault. All of us are at fault. All things are possible with God. Can't we exercise enough faith?
Can you really compare God to the government on earth? The person who knows has the most responsibility. The person with the power to act has the most responsibility. Man in control but what are they doing? Man is more corrupted. Should we follow man? God gave man that opportunity to make the earth better. What is he doing?
Ok so the imates run the asylum, who is in charge of the asylum?
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

poppers:
Isn't it ironic that people are curious by naturre, yet are condemned for using their curiosity. When a restriction is placed on someone doesn't curiosity inevitably arise? You can't have it both ways, to be given curiosity and then not be allowed to exercise it.
Well poppers, when people are curious about something, most of the time they would ask questions or find out what would happen if they did this or if they did that. They would find out from other people who know the answers. On the other hand, there and then, at that moment in time or weakness, the curious one would want to take a chance...however a wise person would think once, twice or even thrice about it. What would that outcome be...would it hurt me or would it be ok?
Sometimes there is this little voice inside us that gives us a feeling that we should or shouldn't do something. How do we know which to listen to? That is where God comes in. Not everything we tell ourselves to do is right and some of those voices are way misleading. They can kill us. There is evil and there is good. God is good. God can guide us into the right way. He will lead us when we ask for some guidance. I know you know what is bad.
