Whitefield's preaching was such as England had never heard before, theatrical, extravagant, often commonplace, but hushing all criticism by its intense reality, its earnestness of belief, its deep tremulous sympathy with the sin and sorrow of mankind.
It was no common enthusiast who could wring gold from the close-fisted Franklin and admiration from the fastidious Horace Walpole, or who could look down from the top of a green knoll at Kingswood on twenty thousand colliers, grimy from the Bristol coal-pits, and see as he preached the tears "making white channels down their blackened cheeks."
On the rough and ignorance masses to whom they spoke the effect of Whitefield and his fellow Methodists was mighty both for good and ill. Their preaching stirred a passionate hatred in their opponents. Their lives were often in danger, they were mobbed, they were ducked, they were stoned, they were smothered with filth.

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent forth into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

They stand as one, united in purpose. Hence-- The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are one God or Godhead. The will of the Godhead being manifested through Jesus Christ during His ministry (Col 2:9).

The doctrine of the Trinity replaced the doctrine of the Godhead.

His trepidation toward public preaching is similar to many public preachers today, and the reactions he received also is similar.

But how would he know how to offer sacrifices to the Lord? Do you remember the skins of animals given to Adam and Eve before they left the Garden of Eden? Where do you think those skins came from?Adam and Eve were taught before leaving the Garden, "And I [the LORD God] will put enmity between thee [the serpent] and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Gen 3:15)After leaving the Garden, Adam and Eve had many "sons and daughters." (Gen 5:4) Cain rebelled and some of the other children. Although Adam and Eve had righteous children, it was not enough to detour the wickedness of those in rebellion. "And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled
 with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. (Gen 6:13)Noah and Melchizedek taught the people after the flood. But as the people spread began to have a disregard for holy matters. Terah (the father of Abraham and Nachor) and some of his forebears were among those that forsook the Lord. "... Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood [the Euphrates] in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood [the Euphrates], and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed and gave him Isaac. And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt..." (Josh 24:2b-4)As apostasy continued among the descendants of Noah, it began to effect the Children of Israel. The Lord called upon Moses to
 deliver them out of Egypt. Then a law was given to them: a preparatory law that would focus their attention upon the Messiah. They also fell into apostasy and Jesus rebuked the people saying, "Do you think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"
Yet the Lord went forth and establish the gospel again among the children of men. Through His atonement, He did away with the lesser ordinances of the law. "Botting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" (Col 2:14) He called apostles, seventies, elders, bishops, and other officers to guide the affairs of His Church under His Direction. "And he [Jesus] gave some, apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfection of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
 men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" (Eph 4:11-14)But the prophets prophesied that before the return of the Lord that there would be a great apostasy. "Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered." (Isa 29:10-11) "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north ever to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it."

serving? Christ, or himself? It doesn't take a community to 
figure it out. Try to remember that. Some day there will be a 
test.Terry

  
  
  
  
  
  So we can comment sin, as long as it is not the same sin? 
  I mean, sin is a part of us (if we say that we have no sin,we 
  deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us). Grace only 
  works when we cease sin?

In your mind is a reference to an external work an admission of lost books?
In your mind is an admission of shortcomings , such as below, the same as a refernce to an external work?
Paul quoted a PAGAN should we include the Whole Pagan Book?
Did the Bible command you to read the supposed missing books? The BoM cmds you to read Zenos, where is it?

The TESTIMONY of the Book O Mormon
"And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ." Title page Book of Mormon 

"I would inform you that I translated by the gift and power of God, and caused to be written one hundred and sixteen pages, the which I took from the book of Lehi, which was an account abridged from the plates of Lehi, by the hand of Mormon; which said account some person or persons have stolen and kept from me" Preface to the original Book of Mormon.
116 pages stolen from Joe  God? Anything important in there?

"and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record" Mormon 9:33 

"I think this sacred, but if I err, excuse me" 1Nephi 19:6
Please no errors when it comes to mens souls!

"written according to my memory" Esther 5:1 
"written to the best of my knowledge" Jacob 7:26 

Where are the records of Zeniff refered to in Mosiah 25:5 
How about the words of Zenoc, Neum and Zenos 1Nephi19:10 
Or the written word of Zenos and Zenock Alma 33:3,13,15 
Was the word lost? If so why were they not restored during the restoration? For that matter , in the "fullness of the gospel" where are the lost books? 

"read the words of the prophet zenos" Jacob 5:1 and Jacob 6:1 
Where are this prophets words now? Lost? Anything important in it? HOW CAN I READ IT AS COMMANDED???
The Journal of Discourses Vol 3 pg. 347 says only 1/3 of the plates translated. Where are the other 2/3 and what is contained in them? Is it important? Faults, errors, according to mans memory  knowledge, mistakes, partial accounts, imperfections, lost prophets and lost portions/books, stolen sections, only 1/3 translated; hardly a faith promoting testimony!

   Alpha
  
  So you have connected the dots. 
  
  ALPHA? The FORCE be with you:
  http://www.christiandoctrine.net/news/alpha_news/alpha_nov_2002_web.htm 
  Rome sees Alpha as a means to ensnare unwary unsaved people into its net. Rome 
  is happy to let Alpha do the work, so long as it gains in numbers.
  http://www.pfo.org/alpha-cr.htm
  
“1. The God of Alpha is not the God of the 
Bible. ... it does not present us with the God who has revealed Himself 
in the Bible. ... It simply fails to tell us anything we need to know about 
God.
  
2. The plight of man in Alpha is not as serious 
as in the Bible. ... Alpha does not use strong terms and leaves 
us rather unclear about where we stand. As one follows its argument, sin is 
more to be seen in the way we have ‘messed up our lives.’... For all the 
gravity of sin, Alpha never allows us to feel too bad about 
ourselves. It never permits us to see ourselves in God’s sight. That is a 
big omission.
  
3. The Jesus Christ of Alpha is not the Jesus 
Christ of the Bible. ... despite having part of the course titled 
‘Why did Jesus die?’, it is unable in the final analysis to answer 
this question. ...
  
4. The love of God in Alpha is not the love of 
God of the Bible. ... The God of the Bible is love but it is love that 
is seen in His willingness to save sinners. ... without the context of God’s 
holiness and absolute perfection, the meaning of love is lost to us. 
  ...
  
5. The Holy Spirit of Alpha is not the Holy 
Spirit of the Bible. ... Alpha’s ‘Spirit’ appears to work in ways 
that lie outside the confines of Scripture. Whoever it is that people 
are ‘introduced’ to at the Alpha Weekend, it is not the Holy Spirit. 
But whoever this mysterious guest is, he is equally at home with the 
ecstatic gatherings of New Age enthusiasts and 
non-Christian religions alike.
  
6. Conversions in Alpha are not like the 
conversions in the Bible. ... More often than not it is an emotional 
experience about the love of God but without any understanding of 
holiness or the need to be saved from our sins. ... For all its efforts, 
Alpha does not help us to know God. It does not describe the true and 
living God for us. It does not diagnose man’s condition accurately enough. 
... it is unable to supply us with the ‘good 
  news’.”10
  Alpha is just new window dressing on the old “Holy Ghost 
  bartender” theme, the Toronto theme and the Brownsville reruns. It 
  could be retitled “Steps to Frenzy” or “Finding God in My 
  Feelings”, or “Letting Out the Animal Inside.” The result is not 
  unlike the old Esalen groups, primal scream therapy or the lunacy of a drug 
  experience.Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TITLE:Toronto Blessing leads to RomeTEXT:An 
unbelievable exodus has been occuring from Protestant Churches to the Roman 
Catholic Church. Seeing is believing - here is one site where 
you can see ex-pastors from Protestant Churches as well as sects making the 
shift. These people believe that are returning or converting to the 
‘true faith’. The Catholic Church is boasting of the many hundreds that are 
now ‘coming home’. Apostacy has taken a giant step. Assemblies of God 
pastors who once ‘felt the presence of God’ at Toronto are now ‘feeling the presence of Jesus’ in the eucharist. They 
are reading into Scripture to support their new beliefs just as they were 
before. Rodney Howard 
Browne brought Toronto to the Catholic Church in 1997. 

According to a report on the November 1997, Charisma magazine, Rodney

Raymond: The fact is that you are twisting Scripture for your ownagenda. The passage is not discussing 'who are the children of God or not.'
read it real slow Ray:"these are not the children of God"
What does that mean?

RAYMOND says Just because you find"not the children of God" doesn't mean it's being used in the passage in the way you want.

Then tell us how it is really being used!

My comment on it does not matter:
Lets use some logic here I know logic is a trick of the devil for LDS but:
If ALL people are Gods children and all gentiles are people
THEN
all gentiles are God's children

OK so far?
context is gentiles and gentiles being people should; according to LDS, be God's children. 
The scripture says that in the context of GENTILES 
They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God
Some "children" are "not children of God"

Kevin: RM 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Raymond: The verse that you are using is out of context. Read verses 6 and 7 – this is concerning the Gentiles under the new covenant being able to enter into the Abrahamic Covenant. (Something that Gentile members were not allow to do under the Old Covenant.). 
Kevin: Point is some are "not the children of God" It does not matter if the context says gentiles, you claim all are.

"... [Judas] went and hanged himself." (Matt 27:5) "... Go,and do thou likewise" (Luke 10:37)

If you don't like that, then use the Scriptures properly. And don't try to tell me that it's a matter of understanding the same passage of Scripture differently because I don't believe that is the case. I don't believe you read the passage -- you just did a search and used the passage without reading it. When I called you on it, you sought to defended it by writing that it "does not matter."

Re: [TruthTalk] THE HOLY BIBLE – Errors

2005-05-15 Thread Kevin Deegan


The BIBLE TestimonyJesus NEVER cast doubt on the scriptures! Do you doubt God's word? The first recorded words in Genesis 3 from the DEVIL: "Yea hath God said...?" cast doubt on the word of God. Lets see what the testimony of the scriptures are concerning the scriptures 
1John 5:9 "if we recieve the witness of men the witness of God is greater" I prefer to trust God at his word! He said the wordswere eternal: Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shal not pass away" 1Peter 1:25 "the word of the Lord endureth forever" 
God's word is perfect, pure and preserved by God: Psalms 12:6-7 "Thou shalt keep them, OLord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever" 
Can be caught away by the wicked one: Matthew 13:19 
You can be mistaken by not knowing them and to know them they must be available: Matthew 22:29 "Ye do err not knowing the scriptures" Don't be in error on such an important topic! The Scribes and Pharisees made the word of no effect by not understanding not hearkening (listen - obey) and through tradition, rather than obeying and believing: Mark 7:13-14 "Making the word of God of none effect". Jesus then says "Hearken unto me every one of you and understand" It is to be recieved as the word of God not men and believed; not doubted: 1Thessalonians 2:13 "ye recieved it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe" there is no profit in doubt: Hebrews 4:2 "the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith" Hebrews 11:6 "without faith it is impossible to please him" God's word framed the worlds: Hebrews 11:3. Some will not search the
 scriptures and come to Jesus to get eternal life: John 5:39-40 If you don't believe the written word how can you believe in Jesus? John 5:47 
Would you contend that the scripture can be tampered with inspite of what God says? Jesus said John 10:35 "the scripture can not be broken" All of it is profitable and inspired: 2Timothy 3:16 "all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction" Do you need correction or do you correct the word of God? We will be judged by it: John 12:48 "the word I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" God's words are pure, all of them: Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is pure" It is true even from Genesis onward: Psalms 119:160 "Thy word is true from the beginning" They are life: John 6:63 "they are life" 
In Matthew 4:4 Satan tempted Jesus by corrupting what the scripture said. ("yea hath god said?") But Jesus said "it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." He then proceeds to qoute Old testament scripture showing us they are the words that come directly from God's mouth.

thoughtfulness and concern for how the gospel is preached.

   I realize that most Christians do not want to be obnoxious in the 
way they share their beliefs with others.  Personally, I'm not all that 
bothered by those who employ an in-your-face methodology of street 
preaching.  But I am concerned that many non Christians will find such 
tactics so repulsive that they reject the gospel message outright 
without allowing it to be shared with them due to their preconceived 
notions based on their observations of just a few overly zealous Christians.

   I also wonder who is converted by fanatical preachersjust other 
fanatics perhaps?  And, is using the examples of  Biblical street 
preachers a good reason to justify modern day fanatical/obnoxious preaching?

   As far as listening to you (Christians) explaining your beliefs, 
that is why I am here, Caroline.  I find too often that I get less 
explanation and more of a verbal thrashing though.  Sometimes the 
message is hard to hear when the voice is so overwhelmingly outrageous

Both errors are likely. People could deliberately add words to bolster the text and make it sound better. In fact, Christianshave been known to write whole books and letters and attribute them to Paul or John or some other Apostle. There was a lot of controversy and uncertainty so adding words make things more plain.

Biblical scholars were quite surprised when they found early manuscripts which did not contain lots of stuff like the ending to Mark or the story in John about the woman caught in adultery. Mark can be explained by saying the manuscript lost its ending but how do we explain John :-) We don't. We just put a note and say it's not in the early manuscripts. I like the story and I'm glad it's in my bible - even with that caveat.

If copyists lost words as they copied, the later manuscripts would have less words than the early ones.

They pray to God in the name of Jesus. That's the funny thing about prayer. It seems to break through all denominational lines.

We have quite a few ex-Catholics in our church and often have to tone them down a little. They are so virulently anti-Catholic. After a while, they can speak of their former church without going into rants about idolatry and the anti-Christ. :-) 

If Protestants are going to the Catholic church, I hope they bring with them traditions like personal scriptural study. There does seem to be a renaissance of Catholics reading and studying the bible. Some are even moving beyond prescribed prayer. Not many but it's a start. Perhaps they will reform the church.

Wesley seemed to think of it like some of the detractors here in this forum, describing it as "almost a sin." Afteropen air preaching for 33 years, Wesley still described it as a cross to him,but he knew his commission and could see no other way to preach the gospel to every creature. The bottomline is that God used John Wesley mightily in open air preaching and he could not deny the results. Many of us have similar testimonies. I grew up in the Methodist tradition too, and I never saw someonepreaching outside until I was well into my twenties.

http://www.pfo.org/alpha-cr.htm

“1. The God of Alpha is not the God of the Bible. ... it does not present us with the God who has revealed Himself in the Bible. ... It simply fails to tell us anything we need to know about God.

2. The plight of man in Alpha is not as serious as in the Bible. ... Alpha does not use strong terms and leaves us rather unclear about where we stand. As one follows its argument, sin is more to be seen in the way we have ‘messed up our lives.’... For all the gravity of sin, Alpha never allows us to feel too bad about ourselves. It never permits us to see ourselves in God’s sight. That is a big omission.

3. The Jesus Christ of Alpha is not the Jesus Christ of the Bible. ... despite having part of the course titled ‘Why did Jesus die?’, it is unable in the final analysis to answer this question. ...

4. The love of God in Alpha is not the love of God of the Bible. ... The God of the Bible is love but it is love that is seen in His willingness to save sinners. ... without the context of God’s holiness and absolute perfection, the meaning of love is lost to us. ...

5. The Holy Spirit of Alpha is not the Holy Spirit of the Bible. ... Alpha’s ‘Spirit’ appears to work in ways that lie outside the confines of Scripture. Whoever it is that people are ‘introduced’ to at the Alpha Weekend, it is not the Holy Spirit. But whoever this mysterious guest is, he is equally at home with the ecstatic gatherings of New Age enthusiasts and non-Christian religions alike.

6. Conversions in Alpha are not like the conversions in the Bible. ... More often than not it is an emotional experience about the love of God but without any understanding of holiness or the need to be saved from our sins. ... For all its efforts, Alpha does not help us to know God. It does not describe the true and living God for us. It does not diagnose man’s condition accurately enough. ... it is unable to supply us with the ‘good news’.”10

Judy: Here we go again..
The anger of God (Satan) moved David to number Israel against the advice of his military Cmdr
2 Sam 2:41 and 1 Chr 21:1 are saying the same thing; there is NO error.

Raymond: Good try. At least you made an attempt to answer the first one. Kevin, Perry, Lance, and Terry are hiding. I guess that they can dish out challenges, but they can't take it.

In 2Sam 24:1, Satan is 'he.' So that it should be understood as "And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, because [Satan] moved David againstthem to say, Go, number Israel and Judah." 1Chr 21:1 is then in agreement, but doesn't mention the Lord's anger.

That was only the first one on the list --- care to try any others?
THE HOLY BIBLE – Errors
If you still doubt the apostasy (some would call it the dark ages), you need look no further than the Bible itself – for it has suffered from it.Contraditions--
WHO MOVED DAVID TO NUMBER ISRAEL?
Compare 2Sam 24:1 with 1Chr 21:1
"And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah." (2Sam 24:1)
"And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel." (1Chr 21:1)
HOW OLD WAS AHAZIAH WHEN HE BECAME KING?
Compare 2Kgs 8:26 with 2Chr 22:2
"Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel." (2Kgs 8:26)
"Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri." (2Chr 22:2)
WAS THE LORD KNOWN AS JEHOVAH TO ABRAHAM?
Compare Ex 6:3 with Gen 22:14
"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." (Ex 6:3)
"And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen." (Gen 22:14)
DID MOSES SEE THE LORD’S FACE?
Compare Ex 33:11 with Ex 33:20
"And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle." (Ex 33:11)
"And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." (Ex 33:20)
WHAT WAS THE COLOR OF THE ROBE THAT THE SOLDIERS MADE JESUS WEAR?
Compare Matt 27:28 with Mark 15:17 and John 19:2
"And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe." (Matt 27:28)
"And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head," (Mark 15:17)
"And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe," (John 19:2)
HOW OLD WAS JEHOIACHIN WHEN HE BECAME KING?
Compare 2Kgs 24:8 with 2Chr 36:9
"Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem." (2Kgs 24:8)
"Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD." (2Chr 36:9)
HOW DID JUDAS DIE?
Compare Matt 27:5 with Acts 1:18
"And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself." (Matt 27:5)
"Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." (Acts 1:18)
WHO WAS JOSEPH’S FATHER?
Compare Matt 1:16 with Luke 3:23
"And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ." (Matt 1:16)
"And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli," (Luke 3:23)
DID THE MEN HEAR A VOICE?
Compare Acts 9:7 with Acts 22:9
"And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man." (Acts 9:7)
"And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me." (Acts 22:9)
HOW MANY CHARIOTS?
Compare 2Sam 10:18 with 1Chr 19:18
"And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there." (2Sam 10:18)
"But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host." (1Chr 19:18)
DID THE LORD REPENT?
Compare Gen 6:6 with Num 23:19
"And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." (Gen 6:6)

Hi Terry–
I’m glad to see that you are open-minded and willing to let me respond to these questions. If you don’t mind, I’d like to answer these questions one at a time.
DO LATTER-DAY SAINTS BELIEVE THAT JESUS AND SATAN ARE OR WERE BROTHERS?
To give a proper answer, this will take a bit of explanation. First, most non-LDS Christians believe in the pre-mortality of Jesus. We do also. We also believe that all who live on this earth, past and present, lived before with God in Heaven. We believe that God is literally the Father of our spirits.
"Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?" (Heb 12:9)
"Have we not all one father?..." (Mal 2:10a)
"One God and Father of all..." (Eph 4:6a)
"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." (Eccl 12:7)
Being children of God we were all brothers and sisters. Jesus, known as Jehovah in the OT, was our Father’s firstborn.
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (Heb 1:6)
In mortality, Jesus would be God’s Only Begotten.
Jeremiah was informed that he lived before he was born.
"Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jer 1:4-5)
Our Father presented a plan to us.
"And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine. And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words. For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:38-40)
While we were in the presence of God we walked by sight; now, our memories are taken away and we walk by faith.
"There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after." (Eccl 1:11)

Drunkards and fornicators do not inherit God's Kingdom. Under both Covenants it would take genuine repentance which BTW is also a gift and since this is out of our control (other than our willingness and desire) it should cause humility and godly fear. judyt 

Caroline:
The first 5 chapters of Leviticus speak about atonement for unintentional sin. When I started reading Leviticus, I was freaking out because there does not seem to be atonement for intentional sin and all of us humans have been guilty of sinning intentionally at least once in our lives. Then there is Leviticus 6. Then there is the New Covenant. Judy, you're saying that if someone repents, then they are forgiven and that this is a gift from God. 

Now we come to a pivot point. If it is God's desire that all men are reconciled to Him, then He gifts them with genuine repentance. And He is almighty so I can't see why He'll fail. But if God desire that some go to hell and some to heaven..

This guy was standing right there doing a sort of growling noise, for sometime. Making it hard to hear the prayer. He found the smallest guy there (he outwieghed him by 80 lbs) The victim could not even cry out, being assaulted from behind and in a choke hold. He dragged him down the sidewalk. Seems the guy was an LDS High Priest, some LDS took up a collection to help pay for his court costs. I believe he was charged with 2 felonies. Agravated assault can't remember the other charge.

LOL We don't preach sans shoes.

The command is clear and the last will of Jesus Christ 
GO INTO ALL the WORLD and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature

Blaine: Sorry, Kevin, but I still don't see it. Granted, the prophets of the OT were called upon by the Lord to do some strange things, strange probably even in those times. The difference as I see it is that they did what they did at the command of the Lord. You guys claim there is no new revelation, so how can you possibly be claiming that the Lord directed you to do any of those things. You boys stand in your own light, which is on dim--very very dim. :-)

David wrote: I grew up in the Methodist tradition too, and I never saw someone  preaching outside until I was well into my twenties.

It's the yelling at people and insulting them that I object to. This is not dialogue or apologetics; it's bullying. I can't imagine Jesus screaming "whore" and "harlot" at Samaritan women. Something is very wrong here and as a Christian, I protest. I do not agree with Mormon beliefs but I have enormous respect for all those who endured the persecution with
 grace and dignity. As a Christian, I would like to apologize to all the Mormons here who were screamed at and insulted. Not all Christians are like that and not all Street Preachers are like that. I hope you'll give us another chance to explain our beliefs. 

BLAINE: Hear! Hear!, Caroline, you have my ear. David's rationale above is a classic example of the "reason" given by most street preachers to do what they do. Like you, I can hardly conceive of street preacher tactics ever being employed by Jesus, his apostles, OT prophets, Billy Graham, etc. You forgot to mention waving Mormon undies. Can I see Jesus or any of his apostles resorting to this tactic? I can't. Thank you for the apology, too bad you do not speak for the ones who actually offend.

Real simple John. When the same sin is a continuous part of your life, your trips to the alter are bogus. Who is the sinner serving? Christ, or himself? It doesn't take a community to figure it out. Try to remember that. Some day there will be a test.Terry






So we can comment sin, as long as it is not the same sin? I mean, sin is a part of us (if we say that we have no sin,we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us). Grace only works when we cease sin?

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent forth into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

Then there is Leviticus 6. Then there is the New Covenant. Judy, you're saying that if someone repents, then they are forgiven and that this is a gift from God. 

Now we come to a pivot point. If it is God's desire that all men are reconciled to Him, then He gifts them with genuine repentance. And He is almighty so I can't see why He'll fail. But if God desire that some go to hell and some to heaven..

Jesus was telling us what He preferred to see from us. He would rather
we be merciful to one another than offer sacrifices to God. If you
remember, by this time, God was sick of meaningless sacrifices,
offerings not from the heart, rituals. That is religeon. Mercy comes
from a loving heart.

Jesus teaches us to have forgiveness in our hearts, not to be stupid.What they have done in the past; they have done again and again. I expect it will continue.

As for the extra books --- I'm an LDS Christian; and I've read them and I know what's in them. Why don't you read them and ask God if they are true? Would you rather, asa non-LDS Christian,depend upon man for your answers or God? I prefer to follow God and I know that God answers prayer.

No I'm not saying that. There is a 
difference. One lasted for a year and the other is eternal. One covered 
sin

Forgiving ppl is not stupid Raymond - and you can be

First, I didn't write that forgivess is stupid. What I was telling you was that Jesus wants us to forgive, but not to be stupid. If an enemy cames against you, again, and again, and again -- it would be stupid the think it that he would not do so another time. I know that vengence belongs to the Lord, as most LDS Christians do. We turn the other cheek over and over again.

As for not reading the 'extra books,' I say you are afraid of truth. Either, that or you don't believe that God answers prayer. I'm not afraid of truth and I know that God does answer prayer.

Further, you didn't even wait for an angel to deceive you. You freely choose to be out of harmony with the Lord and the teaching of his apostles. The New Testament, itself, is a witness against you. The Lord organized His Church to have certain offices that are to be maintained -- you reject that.

on a 1955 Mercedes with something like 3600 individual parts -
going to hell until I repent, take the car back and give the money to
the local church or a needy ministry or a needy person? 
  Had you seen a needy person on your way to buy that car,
would you have not spent the money on that person. Seems I remember
you doing something similar before.

  The Wise Old Poodle

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her
faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles
discovers that she's lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading
rapidly in her direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some
bones on the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on the
bones with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to

leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard!
I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of
terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the
leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby
tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for
protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him
heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must
be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and
strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here,
monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving
canine!"

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and
thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits
down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn't seen them yet,
and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says: "Where's
that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

Moral of this story:

Don't mess with old folks ... age and treachery will always overcome youth
and skill! Bull and brilliance only come with age and experience

As for not reading the 'extra books,' I say you are afraid of truth. Either, that or you don't believe that God answers prayer. I'm not afraid of truth and I know that God does answer prayer.

Why would I wait for an angel to deceive me Raymond; you are not making sense.

The Lord organized His Church to have certain offices that are to be maintained -- you reject that. 

Yes, I believe the Lord left an organism rather than an organization - there is a difference.

The Lord's Church has authority that is given to those in the ministry to administer the gospel -- you reject that. 

I probably do reject it in the way that you perceive Raymond although I accept that the body of Christ consists of a nation of kings and priests who are to submit and minister one to another in the fear of God with Jesus Christ as Cornerstone.

The Lord organized only one Church and does not allow denominations -- you reject that. Yes, you are already removed from the gospel that Paul preached.

The Lord did not institute denominations but He allows them and will allow them until He returns - It is then that he will separate the wheat from the tares and I personally believe there is probably genuine wheat in most every denomination. Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

As for the extra books  ---  I'm an LDS Christian; and I've read them and I 
know what's in them.  Why don't you read them and ask God if they are true? 
 Would you rather, as a non-LDS Christian, depend upon man for your

--Raymond
Ray,
 If one reads satanically inspired books, then prays over them asking for 
truth, what is the chance that Satan will answer the call? By even 
entertaining literature that bears the signature of Satan, that contradicts 
the bible, and that came about through a man that was and is known to have 
participated in nefarious and occultic activities is risky.

  Look at what happened to you. You exchanged the truth for a lie. When 
people that do that, I feel it is because they have allowed Satan a inroad 
to their lives, and have fallen for the lie. I cannot entertain that. I 
cannot sit idly by while the same lies are spread to Christians who may not 
understand the seriousness of the sitiation.

  The mormons are working hard to make themselves appear as a Christian 
sect, in fact as the ONLY Christian sect, but they are neither. Satan has 
worked for more than a century and has woven a very complex fabric of 
deceit. It looks so tempting, so wholesome, so appealing from the outside 
that it took me years of study and prayer to understand what is on the 
inside, and to finally get to the point where the various hints and clues to 
its origin began to fit together to expose the hand of Satan in it.

  As far as I can tell, there are only two on this group who have fit the 
pieces together...me and Kevin. (If there are others that have done so, they 
have not made themselves known on the forum.) Our studies were done 
independently through the years...we met (online) only when I joined this 
group. We independently have arrived at the same conclusios about the 
mormons. Anyone who spends time reading scripture and talking to mormons 
will begin to understand the different meanigs of words, see the differences 
in the mromon deities and the Christian Deity.

  Have you noticed that when Kevin and I expose the mormon deceit on this 
forum, that no one besides the mormons try to contradict us? I believe that 
they sense the hand of satan, the differences in the mormon deities and the 
God of the Bible, the deceptive nature of the system, and do not interfere. 
I know this group. If they disagreed even a little, they would certainly say 
so.

If you want to go around judging every fat person - then that is another area of sin.

The Bible is pretty clear about who goes to Heaven and who goes to
Hell. Those who deny self and follow Christ are saved. Drunkards and
gluttons are specifically pointed out as lost as are sexual perverts,
gossips, and so on. Smoking is not specifically addressed in the
Bible. It could be like wine or food; a little is good, a lot is bad,
or it could be like taking the Lord's name in vain; never do it even a
little bit. In the OT, unintentional sin was forgivable. Under grace,
even intentional sin over a long period can be forgiven provided it is
forsaken (Go, and sin no more). My advice: If in doubt, don't sin. If
you slip up, repent. If you wallow in sin, get some good fire
insurance, you will need it.

Back in my legalistic days, I used to actually keep a total of "converts." The good news is that I understand the message in clearer terms. I just got through (yes, this Sunday afternoon) counseling a woman who is having a problem that is effecting her marriage. This week, I will (by invitation) be sitting down with one of my contractors and sharing with him some of what is encouraging to me in terms of reconciliation. He is one who bailed out for nearly three weeks. No one could get ahold of him. But he wants to talk about the Lord. He is the one asking the questions. And I can say that my children are all concerned about their relationship with the Lord. How many Chrsitian dads get to say that !  It doesn't make me something special --- but it sure does give me a deeper sence of appreciation toward my God. 

Do you keep a running total of "converts." I really do not know anyone who does this. I really do not understand the importance of the question.

[TruthTalk] Street Preaching

2005-05-15 Thread Caroline Wong



A SP who does not speak unless spoken 
to.


Not all street preachers are preachy
Matt Heinz Daily Staff 
I guess you should expect that there will be some street preachers around 
every once in a while on a college campus. They are not necessarily talking 
about religion, either. You find some people spouting stuff about abortion, 
environmental issues and other various political issues. 
Most people pay these people no mind. They try to walk by as quickly as they 
can. Some "preachers," if they are entertaining enough, will attract a small 
crowd. Few are really taken seriously. 
Religious street preachers have a worse reputation than most. For some 
reason, most people assume that anyone speaking out loud about religion on a 
street corner or college campus is a wacko. They've seen a few preachers, 
sometimes just one, who fits this description well, and they assume all street 
preachers are alike. 
I myself am a Christian. I do not, however, have any inclination to go out 
into a large public place and start talking out loud to people about my faith. 
That's just not my style. There are many who are comfortable with this practice. 
Cliffe is but one of many. 
Cliffe has been out in Red Square every afternoon this week for a couple of 
hours talking about his faith and answering any questions that anyone has. I 
spent some time last year listening to him and did the same this year, and 
although I do not agree with everything Cliffe says, I respect him much more 
than most street preachers I've seen. 
Not once while I was watching him did Cliffe judge. Not once did he 
tell someone that they would be going to Hell for their sins. And not once did 
he speak when not spoken to. 
Unlike most street preachers, who just yell at anyone passing by, Cliff waits 
for a question. There were several times when he'd finish answering a question, 
see no new hands raised, and just stand there silently, waiting for a new 
question. 
Many questions asked of Cliffe were indeed challenging to the Christian 
faith. Instead of condemning or yelling at the person, Cliff would thank them 
for the question and calmly give his answer. Sometimes he and the student with 
the initial question would engage in a brief exchange of ideas. These 
discussions never turned into shouting matches or condemnations. Cliffe was as 
calm with the declared Atheist as he was with devout Christian. 
There were many times when I disagreed with Cliffe's argument, his belief, or 
his rationale. We are both Christian, but his views on many subject differ from 
mine. And that's OK. I still respect him, because he respects those to whom he 
is talking. 
Cliffe respected each and every student in Red Square. It was too bad many 
were too closed-minded to even give him a chance. 
You don't have to believe. You don't have to agree. But it won't hurt you to 
listen. Of all the confrontational street preachers out there, some are worth 
listening to. Not because they're right. That's for you to decide. But because 
they'll treat you like an intelligent human being. It won't hurt you to give 
Cliffe, and many like him, a chance.

own"cultural context" as in children's Christmas musicals 
etc.
However, if you will read scripture in balance and 
in context you will find that we are to labor together with
God to "work out our own salvation with fear and 
trembling" It is not anything we catch by osmosis and 
just because Jesus became a man and made it does 
not guarantee we will. He left us an example that we
should follow in His steps and sent the Promise to 
empower us to do so. 

Many are called - but "overcomers" will be the 
chosen ones in the Last Day. judyt

Looks like I'm not the only Christian who felt bad 
about what happened at the LDS conference

Winning Them SoftlyEvangelicals try to reach Mormons with respect—and hard 
science.By John W. 
Kennedy | posted 01/16/2004
After years of ineffective and often acrimonious 
evangelism by various preachers and groups, a new coalition of evangelical 
clergy in Utah is attempting to treat Latter-day Saints (LDS) with respect.
Many orthodox Christians have denounced LDS theology throughout 
the church's history. Not surprisingly, leaders of the 11.7 million-member Salt 
Lake City–based church have expressed both resentment and distrust.
At the LDS semiannual general conference in October, adherents 
of the Utah chapter of World Wide Street Preachers Fellowship stomped on 
underclothes that LDS members consider holy. They also pretended to blow their 
noses and wipe their bottoms with the garments.
Three dozen evangelical leaders condemned the actions.
"You don't take what is sacred to another faith and denigrate 
it," said Greg C.V. Johnson, who leads Standing Together, a Salt Lake City 
ministry to Mormons. "It doesn't take courage to treat a person you disagree 
with in a disdaining fashion."
Johnson said he has been trying to build trust with LDS leaders 
for nearly three years. James Ayers, pastor of Valley Assembly of God, and 22 
other evangelical leaders gathered at a press conference to denounce the street 
preachers.
"You don't build any bridges with actions like that," Ayers 
said. "Our purpose is to let the community know that these people don't 
represent all Christians in the city. We believe people need to be treated with 
dignity."
Mormon-evangelical dialogue isn't new, but until now it has 
been limited in scope. Johnson has engaged in high-level talks with Mormon 
leaders, and he has received two letters of gratitude from LDS apostles for 
denouncing the tactics of the street preachers.
Civil discourseHe believes that 
evangelicals have a greater potential for influence if they refrain from 
criticism, and that civil discourse is an essential prelude to a 
breakthrough.
Johnson left the LDS 22 years ago, as a teenager, and now 
attends an Evangelical Free church. He is in the midst of a 14-city lecture tour 
with Brigham Young University professor Robert L. Millet. Johnson and Millet 
engage in a respectful conversation about their points of difference. Sometimes 
LDS and evangelical groups on college campuses sponsor the events jointly.
The street preachers criticized Standing Together members for 
failing to tell Mormons they are going to hell. But Ayers said Christians are 
instructed to love those outside the faith, not rebuke them. Ayers is disturbed 
that the street preachers seemed to be consumed with anger toward Mormons. Ayers 
said a number of nominal Mormons have started to attend evangelical churches 
recently in search of spiritual meaning.
At a press conference a year ago, Ayers and a smaller group of 
evangelicals denounced street preachers who screamed through bullhorns and 
disrupted wedding pictures being shot near the LDS temple in downtown Salt Lake 
City.
A DNA revolutionOn another 
front, a different group of evangelicals believes recent DNA evidence 
questioning the accuracy of Mormon history provides an open door to 
evangelism.
The Book of Mormon describes how 
Israelites emigrated to the Americas 2,600 years ago, with the now-extinct 
Lamanites and Nephites becoming the ancestors of American Indians. But 
anthropologists say there is no match of Jewish DNA with that of American 
Indians. An inaccurate Book of Mormon creates 
questions about the foundations of Mormon teaching.
Hope Christian Fellowship in Brigham City has produced DNA vs. the Book of Mormon, a well-reasoned, articulate, 
and irenic 50-minute presentation of this argument. The small, independent 
community church spent $50,000 on the project, and is selling it on videotape 
and DVD. Pastor Joel Kramer and Scott Johnson produced the presentation. Kramer 
spent a year interviewing eight scientists—including Mormon scholar Thomas W. 
Murphy—and two former Mormons who left the church because of the DNA 
evidence.
The church sent a free video to 7,500 households, consisting 
mostly of Mormons. The church also sells the video for $3 through its website.
Kramer told CT he has heard reports 
from about 300 people who have left Mormonism because of evidence presented on 
the program, released last April. Unknown persons have vandalized one of his 
vehicles, sent him hostile letters, and left burned tapes at the church's 
door.
'No Israelite influence'One 
former Mormon scientist is 43-year-old Simon Southerton, who served as a bishop 
in Canberra, Australia. His book, Losing a Lost Tribe: 
Native Americans, DNA, and the Mormon Church (Signature Books) will be 
published in March.

Why was I naive enough to think you were asking an honest question JD; I should have known I was being

Certainly not me. What both Terry and I said is that all fat ppl are not gluttons. Read the scriptures and you
will find that gluttony and drunkenness and surfeiting are an attitude of the heart. It is walking after the flesh.
If you want to go around judging every fat person - then that is another area of sin.

As for my beliefs - you knownothing about them. What you think you know stems fromyour bad experiences in
the past which you equate with legalism,works faith and some such convoluted system; these are your issues JD.
They have nothing at all to do with me. jt
