...I'm just saying you would be a fool to rely solely on prayer to cure you of cancer when God has provided us with doctors and healthcare.

2 Chronicles 16:12-13 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

Why don't you trust Jesus?

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

This thread is not about homosexuals! When did I ever make it about that? Jeb, you were the one to bring them up, and now somehow you think I disagree with you about them... I urge you to re-read my posts.

Oh, okay, so you agree that Homosexuals should be executed. Can I quote you on that? What is your real name, by the way?

Pastor Ed. Do you really expect me to believe you would use only prayer if you were diagnosed with cancer?

Your beliefs? You know, those beliefs you never tell us about? Executing gays is either good or not good. Which is it? And are you 100% certain you are not taking Brother Edwards' words "out of context".

Yes, prayer is definitely relevant, but

Is God almighty or not? You can't have it both ways. CHOOSE!

the prayers would be asking God to cure you of cancer through the doctors who are working on you.

So what about people who were born before your scientific healthcare? Did God want them to die slow, horrible, painful deaths?

Why doesn't God "Work through" doctors to help children who die slow, horrible, painful deaths in Africa? We have a theory about why God punishes Africans. Tell me, what is YOUR reason for God to kill black children in slow, painful ways, by the thousands, every day?

I'm just saying you would be a fool to rely solely on prayer to cure you of cancer when God has provided us with doctors and healthcare.

God hasn't provided Africans with doctors and healthcare. Why is that, in your opinion?

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

The implication being you don't believe God is powerful enough to answer prayer and cure cancer

What kind of a wimp does he think Almighty God is?

Oh wait, I guess the Bible also says God is a pathetic, incompetant, powerless wussy, I just need the right "context" and "interpretation" of the bible to understand what a pathetic, incompetant, powerless wuss Almighty God is.

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

Hahaha wow. Just wow. We'll see how it works out for you some day when you get cancer. I expect you will use nothing but prayer to get that "devil spirit" out of you. Let's see how that works for you...


But for real... like honestly? Have you passed the third grade? Show me one case of someone with down syndrome who is cured at any point in his lifetime.

The implication being you don't believe God is powerful enough to answer prayer and cure cancer without your secular science or pills? Why, if we have to pray AND use medicine, how can we tell if God actually did anything at all? Didn't Voltaire say that prayer and arsenic will kill a cow? It doesn't surprise me that you refuse to give Jesus all the glory.

Yet another unsaved, modernized, wishy-washy false Christian ignoramus. Oh boy.

Wow! I never thought I'd see a man of faith hushed like a lamb by a simple question like "did God really flood the Earth?"

Heh. Everybody knows I'm the one who routed him.

PS. nice photoshop job on your "Mission to Rio" report. That bulge was almost convincing.

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

I was just wondering why you were bringing it up so much!

Oh, so I bring up God's law too much?

I have not once changed any meaning behind a verse in this thread.

No, because you just ignore the verses. Please, tells us how to properly "interpret" God's law on homosexuals (or ANYTHING ELSE, you have an entire forum with thousands of statements requiring your "context" and "interpretation"). Then once you've explained how the part of the Bible that tolds us to kill them ACTUALLY says we're not supposed to kill them, tells us Why Almighty God is such a bad writer He failed to make that clear from the start.

Then you can explain how every generation of Christians before us managed to also get it wrong.

Friend,

As Jeb asked, if you fell we have somehow misinterpreted God's words on killing homosexuals or used this out of context please correct us. Following our merciful Savior word's correctly is extremity important to us.

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

Okay first off, yes it is true that you turn many away, however maybe you should try accepting more to try and spread the word of the Lord?

You seem a bit like a Pharisee. I can't win either way.
If we were more accepting, you would say we are tying to brainwash people into our c-word (Not that c word.) If we turn people back who don't follow the Word, we are harsh and not accepting enough.

Luke 7:31-34 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

Judging: Yes, but to a certain extent. There should not be hate and disrespect in the judging, because this merely disgusts people and pushes them away from the word of the lord!

Sometimes we save with patience and understanding. Other times by any means necessary as per Jude. I'll quote the whole thing in context, so no one can claim I'm taking it out of context, since we know how important that is.

11Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Down Syndrome: My point was that Down Syndrome is not a choice of the lazy. It is a genetic disease. An entire, visible, extra Chromosome 21.

I'm sorry your faith isn't strong enough, friend. I'll be praying for you.

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Did God do this for real or is it a metaphor?

[LordIsMercy]

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

Since when did I say that you support them?

It is a battle for God's Law. Christ's merciful law calls for gays to be executed. Do you support God's Law or not? I can use many other examples of God's law that you would call "hateful".

Should a rape victim marry her rapist as Christ's law (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) commands? Now if that's not loving your neighbour, nothing is.

I was just wondering why you were bringing it up so much!

He's trying to trick one of us into calling brother Zeke fat. Don't fall for it, bretheren.

Why would a True Christian like Zeke be so worried about external looks? Does he not realize it is only his temporary temple to serve the Lord through?

It would be fun to see one try. We've given lots of scripture here, now it's up to our friend to "reguide" us by telling us the "true" meaning of the verses.

I mean, why did God bother to write chapter after chapter of laws if we're supposed to ignore them? And what is the "proper" way to "interpret" "execute gays" in a way that means something OTHER than, well, "execute gays"? And if it's so easy to misinterpret, why did God write it?

I mean, He's almighty God, he created the universe, surely He is capable of writing a book that stands on it's own, without needing a bunch of lukewarm Christians to "interpret" it with their "context".

Re: HELLO MY MISGUIDED FRIENDS!

In my time at Landover I have never seen a True Christian quote out of context. I have seen this accusation from fools many times but NEVER once have they ever been able to back it up.
