ok this is what I respond to wouldbe, to abra, to voil. The Lord has spoken to me and asked of me to spread the news of Him.....The return of His Son....And thats all I need....Now in the past when I was giving so much guff from people as yourself...I left....I prayed....and the Lord My God..sent me back. So call it whatever you want...I really don't care...I answer to one...and I listen to one...and if you don't like it...thats something you have to deal with...not me.

and with that little caveat, I find myself enjoying qiute a refreshing breath of love from the Holy Ghost and His presence in my mansion, today!!! WOW!!!

I never see that coming.
The perfume of the saints does fill my chamber, presently!!

Fearal, dear.

Please look at the third paragraph of my post prior that quotes Phillipians....


... "... and Feral is not the contentious one"

Did I miss something?

spider:

By whom?.... as if that statement were of surprise to you...

The very use of the great commission lends itself to much needless debate...

wouldee makes a very valid point... believe me... being contentious is not my goal...

My own clearer understanding of our God.... is

Wouldbe.......I humbly stand before you with a sincere apology....I meant creative not you.....Im truly very very sorry.

I honestly just get sick of people THINKING they know me...when they don't have a clue...and really don't try to.....And for all the ones that give me guff I have tenfold e-mailing me.....so it honestly doesn't matter to me what they think......

I can't e-mail you wouldbe because of your marriage restriction......whaaaaa.....again for all to see....Im very very sorry for including wouldbe in that post.

Ummmmm....feral....

I politely ask you to clarify for me.... what exactly I have done to you?

'spider',

Although I don't embrace any Chistian militant doctrine, Carlton Pearson is a Christian just like you, or 'feral', or 'wouldee', or any of the other 2,1 billion claiming to be Christians. A Christian my friend and not a heretic, as a 'fundie' condemnation for not agreeing with your fews few and scattered fundie friends, 'spider'.

The fact that 2,099,499,999 billion Christians don't agree, nor share the delusional 'fundie' edicts, doesn't make them heretics. It just means that as a fundie, you are part of very narrow and select 'club' of delusional religious diehards.

Quite honestly, SPIDER, I must give VOILA some cudos here for selecting the cleaner points in Carlton Pearsons current understanding of his role in the truth of the gospel message.

Of all the controversial aspects within Carlton's current mission, I find the ones quoted by Voila as endearing and inclusive, But I'm certain that you have missed the point entirely.

Voila,

Honestly feral...

The great commission is one of questionable origin... widely disputed...

Answer: Honestly creative it wasn't even anything that bad. I just get so annoyed at anyone that wants to take the Bible and rip it apart as not being truth. If I believe that it is...then I should allowed to believe that. I honestly also wonder not necessarily you included creative how many of these same people have really studied the Bible. I know for me that I have and I find it facinating that most who want to say the Bible is myth....have nothing honestly to back it up. Not that I have seen anyway. And as redudant as this is going to sound because I have said it at least a million times. Who would ever think that a book as awesome, and has been around for as long as The Bible, would God ever let that be if it was either a myth or written just by man. I don't ever see that being the case. And the only way a book the Bible has been around for more then 2000 years is because it is inspired by God and yes written down by man. And I have yet to see these same men who bash it and call it a myth ever really get to the meat of the Bible and debate it.
Why is that?

Actually take a book of the 166 and debate or talk or learn what it really is saying.

feral:

Just so you know... I believe that the message of The Great Commission(Christianity) is a wonderful and powerful one, however, I often find myself hearing this message that, I, myself, do not recognize...

...although this "foreign" message is very well being attributed to Christianity(The Great Commission)...

The truth is such, even if you claim you are a christian it is possible that you are not because if you're actions do not line up with what the Bible says then therefore you are following your own path and not that of GOD'S path, if you have any other god's/godess's such as money,Idols or any other objects/people before God then you cannot be consittered a Christian, Christian means to be Christ like.
Jesus said that if you love me you will follow my commandments and since Jesus was God that means if you Love God in anyway or consitter yourself a christian then you will follow His word meaning the Bible which is why it is called the word of God.
If you believe that the Bible was not written by God then you cannot consitter yourself a Christian because that means you don't believe the word of God.
Just something to think about

You didn't say contentious, you said "of questionable origin... widely disputed... "

BY WHOM? Show me a Biblical scholar who doubts that the great comission is in the Bible. Don't change the subject, that's cowardly and dishonest.

Carlton is a heretic, his doctrine is that Jesus is unnecessary. You do yourself a disservice by believing what he teaches.

you seem to enjoy brandashing a judgment stick on people you don't know feral ... and without explanation ... you and I had absolutely no communication before you used one on me ... I wonder why you feel the need ...

My unicycle has a shinier wheel than your unicycle..neener nee ner neener

Want me to shine yours for you?

Or do you want to ride mine?

yours has too small of a seat

race ya to the mud puddle

Whoo Hoo !!!!!


ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM------------------------>

depends on what God you believe in i guess.... The God of the Bible is in fact Jealous... read the book, dont wait for the movie.
