Good morning Don, Thank you for your reply.

I do not wish to continue this conversation any further. We both have said our piece on this matter. I think that is sufficient.

Have a good day.

Dear Donna,

Thank you for comforting me. Your prayer is a great gift.

I am happy for you.

Amen ! Jesus is Lord !

I trust in Him that He will get me through this.

God bless you !

Spartacus, thank you so much for your encouraging words. You said in a few words more than I did in several pages!

Your words regarding the Internet remind me of a portion of a booklet I wrote about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Bringing the idea to the present, I make mention of the modern cellphone (the Internet) as being a modern wonder of human genius by human hands for human awe. But this one supersedes them all because with this one a man can hold the whole world in his hand. "Nevertheless, the smart phone is but a circumlocutory device whose electronics hold humanity's cranial substitute for God's overwhelming truth and reality; that is, the miraculous. Humanity craves its own truth and reality, and so we can figuratively take this device and 'miraculously' swim in Pharaoh's slime pits to help depravity build a Wonder of the World."

Yes, we can have the KJV available to us on the Internet, but there's just something soulful in having the tangible Word of God lying in our arms where we can literally press it to our chest with both arms and say, "Oh, how I dearly love this old black-backed Book." It brought tears to my eyes when my old pastor did that. To all I say, "Try it, you'll like it."

Dear Donna,

Thank you for comforting me. Your prayer is a great gift.

I am happy for you.

Amen ! Jesus is Lord !

I trust in Him that He will get me through this.

How does Billy Graham or the "daughters" of the Whore of Babylon enter into the text? Revelation 17 deals with a false Christian church. Each and every description on the makeup of this harlot is on continual display by the papacy. They are false teachers, false apostles. The Apostolic line concluded with the Apostles; Paul was the last of them. The popes have no connection with them. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. The true Church of Christ is made of those who have a relationship with Him; not through a particular denomination. The true Church of Christ is centered on Jesus; He is the Rock of our faith, not Peter. Peter was not a pope. He was never called that by Jesus nor the other Apostles. Jesus Christ started His Church with Jewish believers, who then spread the correct gospel of grace (not works, like Rome contends). Neither Jesus Christ nor any of the Apostles had anything to do with the establishment of Roman Catholicism; they wouldn't be a part of her false teachings. Do what I and a lot of other former Roman Catholics have done: embrace the Lord Jesus Christ and His correct teachings, and don't fall prey to the false dictates of a sinful man in Rome. Once you become a true Christian and are indwelt with His Holy Spirit, your eyes will be open to just how false the papacy is, and you will flee their idolatrous, blasphemous practises of praying to statues, a wafer, and placing anything else before God, as Rome does with their version of "Mary".

Brother Chris,

Amen! When I look back at the time I received Christ, and His gift of salvation, I ask myself, did I deserve to be saved? Why would God save me, a sinner? Was I righteous enough in God's eyes for Him to give me this gift? What is the standard of righteousness? I know God is righteous. But how do I compare with His righteousness?

When looked at this way, I can see that I fall short. It had to be a gift, not a reward. It is a gift, totally undeserved, meaning no amount of good deeds or righteousness on my part could ever earn this gift.

Christ's sacrifice paid for it all. But there are some who still say that salvation is conditional, based on our works and human effort, meaning we have to work for it. If this is the case, then Christ's sacrifice was insufficient. And if man still has to work to obtain salvation, then salvation is no longer by God's grace, but by grace plus works, meaning man plays a part in His/Her own salvation. How does God receive all the glory if I play a part in my salvation? If I'm saved partly by works, then I have something to boast. The only thing I had to contribute to my salvation was the sin in which I needed to be saved from.

I do agree with you that God's gift of salvation comes without any conditions. All we must do is surrender our lives to Christ, receive His gift of salvation, remain in submission to His Spirit working in our lives, and trust in God's power alone to keep us until the day of redemption. We can't work for our salvation. If we have to work for it, then what we receive is a reward, not a gift!

God Bless!!!

Pray for our country, which at one time was a democracy = one man/woman = one vote.

Today persons of color are being disenfranchised and nobody seems to care.

Gigi,

I originally posted my belief regarding the KJV Word of God. You were and still are the only one to reply to it. You accused me of making assumptions of you. That is an assumption. I merely replied to your words of challenge. My only point is the simple fact that the KJV is the current perfect Word from God to fallen humanity. You declare that no perfect translations exist today, yet you say the original writers of Scripture wrote God's Word perfectly. That conflicting logic fails to see the fact that if God's perfect Word was once Divinely given to imperfect fallen humanity, that it must also be Divinely KEPT by the God who Divinely authored it. If God doesn't Divinely ordain perpetually perfect truth to every generation, then his final judgment cannot be just. So, he arbitrarily ordains his translation of truth, and identifies it to humanity at large. For 400 years humanity has identified the KJV as God's Word of absolute truth. Revisions are not translations. There was a time when children were taught to memorize the KJV. Today we force them to reply, "Which translation, Mommie?"

Your history of serving God is admirable. I too have a history of serving him. I was saved at age 21. I attended a noted accredited Christian college, sat under nationally recognized theologians and professors, sat shoulder to shoulder with men who are now household words, studied Biblical languages, and graduated with high honors with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Lack of financial backing blocked me from my Doctorate, but I spent over 60 years of intensive study equivalent to it. In a few weeks I will turn 89 years old. But let me say to you and all who read this: None of that matters one bit for either of us. The definition of doctrine is simply what one believes, and that belief determines where one will spend eternity. Therefore, one's doctrine had better be right!

The Catholic church has been doing its work, with the biblical reputation that is written in the scriptures.

While governments destroy the lives of people, creating tent cities for the homeless, famine on the horizon in some places of the world, the church is doing the work feeding and clothing those who are the victims!

If the church would speak out the truths of Christ, preaching the law and the gospel, instead silent , condemning those who help create this world we live in.

Amerika, Russia, China, Europe, greedily, selfishly, have turned out this generation we see now! Unfortunately, with the different cultures, there has not risen one with the faith that would be recognized by the world!

With the help of lawyer's we see a world spoken of by Jesus. The truths of which are more apparent with each passing day.

Time, such as these are not much different from those when the white man took the Indians land from them.

The church is like the cross worn around the neck of the white man, as the Indian says we will wait to see if this cross effects the heart of man!

Does God use vessels of dishonour and nations to perform his will?

I believe so, here's a few reasons why

Romans 9:18-23.

Habakkuk 1:5-11. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.

They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

Another question asked is there such things as demon possession?

Here's what I believe and I'm not sure if it classifies as demon possession.

I believe there's ministers of Satan.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15.

These are amongst us everywhere we go and can be identified as tares. Matthew 13:36-42.

EVIL SPIRITS.

Satan is the prince of the world and he influences the flesh. the natural man. and the nations.

1 John 4:1-3.

These tares may also be seen in Jude 1:1-25.

You can't always identify these tares with their Doctrine, some of their Doctrine sounds very familiar, but what they "seem" to believe in doesn't humble them and in areas of baring fruit they seems to be lacking. This causes a closer look at their theology and you find them taking a sharp left on the path.

1 John 2:19.

God bless.

Are we now in judgements from the Lord , farmers are complaining of not enough rain , fires in mountain areas because of lack of rain , many anti christs , wars some we don't even know about media does not report them . Etc maybe you know have seen things not listed here

May, I'm praying for you to get that breakthrough that you so desperately seek right now! I needed one too and I got it!

Jesus is Lord!

:-)

I find it interesting that Billy Graham was closely associated with the RCC during his many preaching events , did they not even call them crusades ? The great whore has daughters too , who are they ?

I'm praying for your daughter with tears.God has put her on my heart.

Thank you Steve .

Thank you for your lovely post , may God continue to bless you .

TESTIMONY!! PRAISE REPORT!!!

To all who have been praying for DONNA,

TASHA,

DANIEL;

The Lord has definitely heard our prayers!

I, Donna, have no cancer and God has healed my liver. My biopsies came back clear. My breathing has improved so much I threw away 1 long term steroid inhaler. And rarely use my asthma rescue inhaler. Honestly I don't even think I need it anymore. I feel better every day! I also have OVER 1year free from cigarettes ( that was a huge deliverance, I was SO bound). It's a daily walk. God is good. I am blessed. I KNOW GOD HEALED ME!

Daniel is phasing out of a 6 month rehab and going into a sober living environment for 6 months. God is good! He still needs salvation and complete deliverance but he's a work in progress and the Lord isn't finished with any of us yet. Please keep praying for him. He's a good and sweet soul.

Tasha was given the all clear last week! Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer gone!!! Thank You Jesus!!! She has a nodule on her lung, not sure what that is but we're trusting God.

If you don't know Jesus. He's the Great Healer, The Lion and The Lamb, Jehovah Jireh, and He's my Lord and Savior. I love Him and I owe Him my life!

:-)

John 3:16

Dear Gav, if you are saved, ask God to forgive you of those addictions and the sins you have committed and repent from them--that is, turn away from them with God's help and never take them up again.

Psalms 139:23, 24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Psalm 25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

Now, I would ask: have you been born again? There is no peace without Christ. This is how to be saved:

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13.

"As it is written, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.'" ( Romans 3:10)



"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ( Romans 3:23)

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." ( Romans 6:23)

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." ( Romans 5:8)



"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." ( Romans 10:13)

Helene, Thank you for praying for Tasha. She's cancer free as of a couple days ago when the DR gave her a good report! She has a nodule on her lung and we don't know what that means yet. But praise the Lord, we are trusting Him!

Hello Jesse, While I agree, without faith it is impossible to please Him/God: And, Cain's offering was a sin offering, a product of the curse (religious yes but in his own way) where exactly may I read of this account you speak of? in scripture of course (because I have not read)

And I quote

"If you read the account, Cain sees what Abel is doing, and Cain decides he's going to bring an offering too. But his was religious. He wasn't doing it under the inspiration of God's Spirit. His heart wasn't right."
