Judas didn't sacrifice his life for me. I don't feel a need to wear a cross all the time and I also can worship just fine in a church that doesn't have a cross but I still hold it an important symbol. Laura

Blainer) Wowsers!! It is just that simple,
so I guess I must not be
able to understand simple things. 

Izzy
says: God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
..the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and
base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen.That
no flesh should glory in His presense. (I Cor:1:27-29)


I wish it was that simple. The cross is a symbol, no more, no
less. 
There is no commandment to hang a cross in every chapel, around your neck
or to display one anywhere at any time. It is strictly a matter of
taste. I CAN KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS WITHOUT DISPLAYING A CROSS
ANYWHERE,
SO THE CROSS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BEING--OR NOT BEING--A CHRISTIAN.
 Crosses are strictly tradition-based symbols, and could easily be
replaced. In fact the ancient symbol for Christianity was a fish, not a
cross. Either is optional--neither is a requirement to be a
Christian. 
I can be naked in a field by myself and still be a Christian--no
ornaments, no jewelry, no building even. (:) Ya-at-eh!
(Navajo-speak
for it is good!) 



Izzy
says: I am not saying you have to wear a cross to respect it. I myself do not
wear a cross because I respect it too much to wear it like a decoration or a
trinket. I see too many lost people wearing them! The point I am making is that ALL cults are taught to belittle the
importance of the cross, because satan hates the cross and the Blood shed upon
it. That is where he was defeated. That is where your false mormon
beliefs were defeated as well. That is why you cannot revere the cross. Folks
who are in cults are CLUELESS about the cross!

For
the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us
which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the
wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom
of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it please God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe. (I Cor 1:18-21)



In a
wonderful song by Joel Lindsey and Sue Smith called He Love Me with a
Cross they wrote:

He left
the throne in heaven to come to Bethlehem; And I will not forget the way He
loved me even then; And everywhere He traveled He spoke with words of love that
said Hed go to any distance to show what I was worthy of.

And
when at last that dusty road turned to Calvary, He picked up a rugged burden so that one day I would see: He
loved me with a cross, He loved me with a cross; In answer to the call of love
He loved me with a cross. He knew from the beginning the price Hed have
to pay, For my heart had gone so far beyond what other loves forgave; I wasnt
on that hillside to see Him on that tree, But as my guilt was placed upon Him,
I know that somehow, He saw me. He loved me with a cross, He loved me with a
cross; In answer to the call of love He loved me with a cross. Oh, I could not
imagine what loving me would cost; For Jesus went to Calvary and loved me with a
cross!

And I
would be a sinner still, Enslaved by all my sins, if it had not been for Jesus,
and the way He loved me then! He loved me with a cross; He loved me with a cross;
In answer to the call of love, He loved me with a cross!



Blainer,
it is impossible that anyone who understands this could write SO THE CROSS
HASNOTHING TO DO WITH MY BEING--OR NOT BEING--A CHRISTIAN., as you
have done. My prayer is that God may have mercy on you, and save you!

You make an important point that there is a bigger picture to all of what

You mention a man in Rev. 13 quoted above.  In your opinion, will this man
be:

1.  A Jewish peacemaker

2.  A Muslim peacemaker

3.  An American peacemaker

I put peacemaker in quotes because he is actually a destroyer, but he

Dear Izzy,

I assume that this forum is based upon some sense of God ruling the
universe, and what he reveals, and what we seek.

Human conflict must be viewed through spiritual discernment.  Even those who
do not have this faculty exercised and strong may use the lists in Gal. 5 as
a guide to identify the motives of men.  The carnal intellect alone can do
that with these lists, but tuning in to the Holy Spirit is a more excellent
way.

Lies have a purpose.  The purpose is to serve the one originating the lies.
Duly manipulated, purveyors of the lies either blindly or knowingly
perpetuate the lies to the same end.  I have seen lies showered over
martyrs.  But the martyrs, a Greek word that means witnesses, must always
hold to the truth.  This takes discernment and effort.

There is the truth of an attitude and spirit behind such jesting.  The
attitude is based upon superficial understanding of the evidence.  Such
understanding is judgment.  But we must have righteous judgment, or judge
not at all, that we be not judged.  Put the evidence on trial.  This takes
diligence and work.  Without diligence and work, truth will not be
appreciated.

Again, ask who benefits?  Who benefits from the conflicts?  Who serves that
power?

Take it easy.  I think there is a basic misunderstanding here.  Marlin
is
new to our forum, so let's not chase him off with a simple
misunderstanding.

I understood Marlin to be speaking about what is going on in the
heavenlies.
In other words, the liar is Satan or demons which orchestrate what
happens
around us.  What we see physically is but a shadow of what is happening
spiritually.  If there is a liar or conspiracy, I think he places it in
the
prince of the power of the air, not in some unnamed person.  I could be
wrong, but that is how I was taking his comments.  Now that might also
be
reflected in some physical person, but I took Marlin's response to my
question to mean that his eyes are staying strictly on the spiritual
things.

We must keep in mind that the political powers and changes in the
political
landscape are all orchestrated by spiritual warfare.  This is revealed
in
the book of Daniel, and also in the book of Revelation.

Whatever the case, if Marlin chooses to use veiled speech to speak of
things, he is free to do so.  Don't stone him just because you don't
understand.  That's what people tried to do to Jesus who spoke in
parables
so that only some could understand.

Remember too what Paul said to the Corinthians,

But we speak the wisdom of God IN A MYSTERY, even the hidden wisdom,
which
God ordained before the world unto our glory.  (1Cor. 2:7)

And also:

Which things also we speak, NOT IN THE WORDS WHICH MAN'S WISDOM
TEACHETH,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with
spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of
God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because
they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all
things,
yet he himself is judged of no man.  (1Cor. 2:13-15)

Peace be with you.

Hey, how did you get me in on this? LOL I'm building the wall and don't have time to come down. The guy can speak or not speak. So far he has chosen not to speak. This is not the same thing as Jesus telling simple parables or 1 Cor. 2:7 or 2:13-15. Remember Sanballet. 

PS. I didn't say remember the Sunbelt, but I did say remember Sanballet.

Okay, Marlin, I am also a bit INTENSE at times; especially when
defending people or principles I love. (But I'm not as bad at Glenn!!!)
:-) You sound like a person who has a lot to offer TruthTalk; so don't
let us wild women scare you off.

then would be how did Father become a man (understanding your position
that he was such before becoming God). And can you give us LDS sources
for this?

DAVEH: As far as I know, it is all a matter of speculation.
I don't recall seeing any official comments. The assumption that
God continues to reveal his secrets to his servants the prophets implies
that there are most likely secrets to be revealed at any given time, assuming
the Lord has not yet revealed all knowledge. Michael..My guess
would be that the answer you are looking for may not be revealed until
'the end', if at all. Until then, it is a matter of speculation,
IMO.
