i need a biblical answer to something.

I need a Biblical answer to something. When Jesus performed his healing miracles, why did he tell the person
to go and say nothing about it to anybody? If he had come to show himself as the messiah, why would he perform
the miracles, then tell them to keep quiet about it? Thanks for any reasonable answers.

The healing and the miracles went out to those that they were intended for. Recall that Jesus did nothing of His own accord but according to the Will of the Father. Timing is everything when it comes to having the Words of The Almighty fulfilled, so in wisdom, the Father knew when it was appropriate to be open about the miracles and also when to be discreet. Jesus Christ recieved glorification when timing was appropriate as well.

(How) Does Truth Set Free?

"The truth shall set you free" (cf. John 8:32) is the kind of sentence that potentially transcends any contextual setting. As we know only too well, it has been used over and over again in religious propaganda and is very easy to return against it (i.e. "the truth about the 'truth' shall set you free" -- from it).

Love God with your whole soul, might, and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. That is the truth.

Worship in spirit and in truth. You owe it to no man to go into their building in order to worship your Creator. You owe it to no man to give of your belongings in order to support them and their worldly possessions. You recieved freely, therefore you should give freely is the law. What posseses a man to ask of your earnings in order to support their way of life? This is not from God, as the holy priesthood does not exist in this day. Spread love and kindness to your neighbor and those on the street. Help one in need with an offering of loving kindness. It is better to pass your earnings onto a family that cannot afford to eat, or to feed their household. You are fully aware of where your offering ends up to be. Help your neighbor repair their fence, plant their vineyard, and keep an eye on his household when they are away.

If you are in a market place without money to buy what you need in order to live, take it when no one is looking. It belongs to you as your Heavenly Father knows what you need. It is against Gods law to sell in the market place. It is Gods law that His creation should eat. The truth allows a man to excercise wisdom if He knows how Gods law overcomes mans law upon the earth.

Learn the truth and allow it to set you free from the slavery of men, this is the true meaning of the scripture.

What To Think Of Mr. Scott McClellan?

by Rapunzel in

mcclellan has recently published a book that is highly critical of bush and his administration.

mcclellan's book has understandably created a furor within the current presidential administration, an administration that has valued loyalty above all else.. mcclellan was a long-time bush loyalist, he started working for bush when bush was still govenor of texas.

mcclellan helped bush to enter the white house, and then followed bush to washington mcclellan became a spokesman for bush, defending the president on such issues as the war in iraq.

Lack of integrity, of course. All the players in the CIA admit to this now, but what is certain is that Mr. Cheney, who has been cunning enough to drive from the passenger seat, deliberately manipulated the Government offices to do his will. He is an evil and dangerous man, but will emerge from all this relatively unscathed, while his wee Bush puppet will take the flack from history.

The Almighty is watching these men when they rise in the morning, when they walk through the day, and when they lay their head to rest. He peers through their most powerful strongholds. He laughs at their barricades, His angels walk by their nuclear facilities and ridicule their technology. A single angel can wipe out the existence of man, as no weapons of war can match their creation.

I sit here as the Hand of The Almighty and I wait until the day that these wicked men are brought to their knees with The Twinkling of an Eye. They will cower before their GOD, whom knows the intent of their hearts. It is easy for The Almighty, I am sole witness to this in this day.

You feel His Strength as He causes your limbs to grow weak at His Power. He Commands you to bow before Him. Your limbs could feel numb, your heart could pulse, He could hold you at bay with your own hand. He could bring you to your death in a slow and painful fashion. I know The Almighty, no being can match Him.

I feel hatred for those that act like satan. The strength of my heart can bring all wicked to their knees. The wicked have no basis of law in which to stand. Where is Powell, where is Cheney, where is Ashcroft? Truly I say to you, these men will know me. Condoleeza Rice will know my Queen, she is fierce, she is courageous, she is strong.

who is the wild beast (666)? they are the most hated regime in this day and their color is red like that of the scarlet beast.

The server is not functioning correctly, my last post has been edited and reposted here:

The only one that will be shutting down religion is Jesus Christ. He will unify all faiths in The Kingdom of God. Your mind thinks in a conspiracy. I agree that there are conspirators out there and secret organizations, however the WTS is not going to be attacked by the wild beast. You are too much caught up into their way of thinking and need to separate yourself from their mindset.

Ponder over this for a minute if you would. The holy ones are of the Islamic faith who do not believe in Jesus Christ. Some Jews as well do not believe in Christ, but their government is backed by the United States. I was once a member of the w.t.s. and have been Christian for quite some time. It was not until after the 911 attacks that I pretty much became a hated person. It was because of my appearance and the link to those in the Middle East by origin. It made me wonder why as one of J.W,'s I was not hated being Christian but however I was after being percieved that I might be Middle Eastern.

It made more sense to me that their religion is the hated ones by all the nations and their religion is being scorned by many people worldwide. And the nations are warring againt those that choose to defend their homeland. They do not love their lives in the face of death. So I focused more on the events in the Middle East as fulfillment of prophecy and left the liars behind. The nation of Islam or Muslims are whom Jesus was referring to not any other religion. They are Christians by their works of Godly Devotion, Amen.......

the faithful slave, on behalf of the "holy ones", Amen.......

Some say 'better late than never'. Tell that to the dead 4,000 soliders, their families, and thier loved ones. See if that makes them feel any better.

Not even the United Nations could stop them, how do expect one man whom they could silence in a heartbeat do so?

A troll is one whom claims to be a JW correct? Again, for those of you that do not read, I am no part of the w.t.s. organization

What do you call a man that parades around without a shirt like you choose to depict yourself as? Arnold of California picked out the right words for guys, excuse me, things such as yourself. Why do men act like women when there are such beautiful women left and right? Freaks of nature, or excuse me, men kept for unnatural purposes might be more fitting. Again, I judge no one, your actions speak loud and clear for those such as you. You despise me.......

From reading a few of your posts, I think that I know where "you are going with this." Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that you are waiting for a theocracy to be established.

Democracy: Democracy is a government mixed with the people, as in people of that kingdom have a say as to whom their leaders will be, and vote upon the laws that they see fit to stand. You notice in Daniel that it will be a divided kingdom. You can break a kingdom in two by raising the proper voice to cry out and gather the masses to stand behind them. Even if the law they support is wicked the opinon of the masses will win if they vote upon it and gain the most votes. In America we have the freedom to do what GOD does not allow.

And yes I am waiting for the Kingdom of GOD to come into full power. It has been established and is crushing all of these other kingdoms. And you say that nothing is forever, well I have to disagree. This Kingdom will last forever and those that obide by its rule will last forever as well. I tell you Truly that this Kingdom is not a myth and it will be proven in your lifetime.

40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.

i'm sure this question has been asked here before, but i was wondering if someone would care to enlighten us as to the undeniable "sign" or occurence that makes folks believe that they are of the annointed class?.

i've always been really curious as to what happens to these people to make them believe this beyond a shadow of a doubt.. apparitions?.

Jim Carrey is anointed?

Jim Carrey actually had an experience that related to the movie. Jim Carrey is chosen not anointed. People misunderstand the meaning of being anointed. You cannot be anointed unless you represent GOD in some way upon the earth like King David, a high priest etc. etc.

And you must be the "Tin Man". Many people are brave when hidden behind a computer screen. Have a dream on me as it will cause you fear and panic in the middle of the night.......Notice what God does to those that even scorn Abraham and his offspring......have a good night.

1 And Jehovah proceeded to say to A´bram: “Go your way out of your country and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the country that I shall show you; 2 and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing. 3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him that calls down evil upon you I shall curse, and all the families of the ground will certainly bless themselves by means of you.”

That is why this move by the WTS away from the home Book Studies is suspicious. The WTS is very organized at the Book Study level which could be a threat. That important level of networking will cease to exist by the 1st of the year, then everything can be monitored and controlled by a fewer key people at the congregation level, which is an effective level as well to shut down the religion.

The only one that will be shutting down religion is Jesus Christ. He will unify all faiths in The Kingdom of God. Your mind thinks in a conspiracy. I agree that there are conspirators out there and secret organizations, however the WTS is not going to be attacked by the wild beast.

I am in awe of anyone who actually reads looooooooooooooooooooooooong posts. I can't seem to do it. My eyes glaze over by the second line. Sorry, no insult intended.

I am exactly the same way, I do not have the time to focus on too much that is written. A synopsis ( I looked up the spelling ) of what I wrote as in reference to which part?
