Christs original teachings restored

I just gotta say that if anyone wants to know anything about Christianity, all they have to do is open the Bible & study it. You & Bill Gray are only human beings like the rest of us. One religion is no better than the other.

For the next year of time on this forum I will practice what I call "Black belt Christianity"' now that that is said I will respond to your post.

All religions teach PORTIONS of the doctrines of Jesus Christ. In that way . 'All" of your churches are about the same. But, some teach at a kindergarten level of truth, some at the junior high level, But NO chick You can,t just use the Bible in order to get the TOTALNESS of the Doctrines of Jesus Christ. Other churches are stepping stones to the WHOLE truth that JESUS CHRIST RESTORED through HIS modern day Prophets. All churches CAN NOT get you to the highest level of heaven where our Father lives.

PLEASE tell me there is an IGNORE button!!!

Y'all must be really proud. Your bickering has run off another good member. Congratulations.

No, I'm not proud at all. It never occurred to me until now that I could be one of those at fault. I probably need to go too.

No offense WS but I don't think anyone wants you to "teach" them about your "truths". As we have told bill, this is no one's private little church. The TD didn't put the religion forum here for anyone to hold "court", say how they think it should run, think they know who has the right to post here and who doesn't, and to decide what should and should not be posted. This is not a church. I know without any doubt if they were to make an Atheist forum all of you so called christians would flock there and try to take it over. What I would like to see is for just one of you to answer questions without constantly quoting the bible. It's sad in a way that none of you have thoughts that you can't express without doing that. Sad sad life. That said, where is Invictus? Anyone know if he had storm damage?

Hey Dwught...

I have tried to read that blog and I gotta tell ya....It is possibly the most unintelligible, rambling chunk of internet gra*f*f*it*i I have ever seen. (Hmmm....Apparently "f*f*i*t*t*i" is a cuss word...On what PLANET, I dunno but what the hell....) 

Dude. Four or six large font words on a page does not a blog make.

Neither does a rant against the powers that be in Cherokee.

SRSLY. It hurt to try and read that.

Nuthin' personal, but I think if you try and use  the same forum tactics that BeeG uses-you'll only succeed in being labeled a grade-A chooch like BeeG has been and still have an empty inbox.

 I kid you not....Yer truly beginning to suck.

Here, Fine tune THIS:

Methinks the only person in here that's gonna end up being taught is......You.

I don't think you are the one that upset her Semi. No, you don't need to go.

Hi all,

This is just another version of Dwight's "Mormon Two Step" dance around all questions.  Dwight has never answered a question regarding Mormonism anyway.  So, this little dance is nothing new.

To be quite honest, what Dwight is doing is Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Mormon Evangelism.  They are taught to not answer questions; to get the prospective victim alone or with one or two Mormon elders, you know, the recently out of puberty "elders" who ride bicycles around and knock on doors.    They are taught to only talk about Mormon literature, the Book of Mormon, and to, in no way, get involved in a discussion of the Bible.   So, all Dwight is doing by refusing to answer questions is following his Mormon teachings.

Why do you thing he always wants folks to visit his Blog?  There, he has you alone within his Mormon rhetoric, no Bible questions, no Bible discussions -- only Mormon cult teachings.

"Come into my parlor," said the Spider to the Fly!

Every aspect of Mormonism is cult.  This is why the are not allowed to answer questions.  For, if they do answer questions, they have two options.  One, do not tell the truth when asked a question; which becomes obvious very quickly.  Or, two, answer the questions truthfully and provide absolute proof that Mormonism is a cult.  Those are the only two choices -- and, both are a losing proposition for Mormonism. 

So, the only way to win new converts to Mormonism -- is to get victims alone and hammer them with Mormon propaganda.   In the Cold War, that was called brainwashing.  But, it worked for the Russians and the Chinese -- and it obviously works for the Mormons -- for Dwight is most certainly brainwashed.

So, Dwight, your declaration that you will NOT answer any questions is nothing new.  That has been your Modus Operandi all along.

But, keep in mind that, since you are not going to answer my questions nor dialogue with me anymore -- YOU MUST ignore this post.  By YOUR RULES, you are not allowed to insert all your red text within my writings.  So, please, stay within your rules -- do not respond to this post.  If you do, then you are proving the dishonesty of yourself and Mormonism.

And, since we have these new rules where you will only post new discussions and not respond to my posts -- that means that I can post my new discussions regarding Mormonism -- and we have YOUR WORD, YOUR PROMISE -- that you will not post any of your red or colored text within my new discussions.  I like this new game.  I can post what I want without you cluttering it up.  I do believe we have a win-win situation.

Thank you and God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Oh bill relax. You can't brainwash us and you're much more "cultish" than windsong/skippy. We're not children bill, you don't have anything to "teach us" either. Anything you have to say we've heard a few thousand times and you don't bring anything to anyone in a new way. SSDD, god did it, god is good, blah blah blah.

The last time two of those on bicycles came to our house, my husband met them on the porch with Bible in hand. They pedaled away quickly & haven't been back.

Bill, you're not any different than WS. You're both hammerheads. 

LOL, Semi!

Two of them stopped by my house back in Connecticut one day as I was working on a car.

I talked with them, yes.. But only after I started handing them tools and parts.

When they left two hours later, they had helped me change an alternator, 4 coil packs and spark plugs.

They were dirty and bewildered.

I figure might's well get some use out of 'em while I had 'em.

Bill and a few others on this forum need to come here and get a good look at their god's handiwork. There have been very very few "god is so good, he spared us" comments, and when anyone does make that statement there is someone else standing by to tell them just what they think of that "god". It was mother nature folks, and she decided to show people what a real bytch she could be.  

Now we just call it Sunday School.

Maybe bill should take some lessons in "brainwashing" from the Mormons. His tecnique doesn't seem to be working. I guess bill doesn't think taking a child from birth and shoving all that bible crap down their throats is "brainwashing".

Uh-Huh....

Why not Road Puppy,

They are told to serve. Might as well put them to work.

Skippy

I've seen several of those comments in the TD from people that lost everything. I wonder what those people are feeling that did lose loved ones. My thinking would be why did he spare yours, but not mine.

Being human, in this life, on this world, means we all face perils in our life.  No matter if you are Christian or not everyone faces difficulties associated with human life.  Christians, however, look not to the things of this world but toward the future life past this earthly, physical, one.  It is a hope and is comfort to the Believer that their future is one without the perils of this world and this life.  Comfort is yet another ministry of God's Holy Spirit which doesn't prevent the believer from trials, temptations and disasters but the Spirit comforts the believer and allows peace when the world is falling down around us.

Physical death is also something not to be feared, by the believer, for it isn't an end but a beginning.

gbrk, I don't fear death. I'm not looking forward to it for various reasons but fear isn't one of them. So if you didn't "believe" you'd be afraid of death? To me it's just "lights out" and then the same as before you were born. One thing I will never understand  is why people think there's a god and blindly follow and worship him when he, in their thoughts anyway, causes such horrible things to happen. It's like someone beating a dog to death and it still licks it's tormentor's hand before it dies. Weird.

Could the tornadoes be the fault of two front colliding and not an act of God? Just curious. Bill you know everything maybe you can enlighten us. Although I must admit I will most likely not read it.

Yammering about the alleged superiority of the Book of Mormon over the Bible is like asserting that some swaybacked, spavined 20-year-old nag is a better horse than Man o' War.

The Book of Mormon is a literary disaster and a historical joke.  The Bible's historical accuracy  has been confirmed scores of time by archaeological research.  NONE of the cities, towns, or other places in the Book of Mormon have been confirmed by similar scholarly research.  Mormon scholars acknowledge the futility of attempting to locate these places.

There have been about 4,000 changes to the text of the Book of Mormon, made by the Mormon Church itself, since it was initially "revealed" to Joseph Smith, who was supposed to have translated it perfectly the first time.

Thousands of ancient manuscripts and text portions of the Bible found over many years have yielded no significant differences or contradictions.

Once more, you seekers, do NOT depend on the COBRA blog or other Mormon sources for correct information about the Mormon cult.  Read that propaganda if you wish, but read the truth about Mormons in detail and with documentation galore in one of the best available expose's of that disordered belief system.  Google up "The Changing World of Mormonism" by Jerald and Sandra Tanner, ex Mormons who have done their homework. Read it for yourself online and prepare to be amazed at how wildly un-Biblical and how historically hysterical this heretical cult is!

Makes as much sense as the bible. I can't believe anyone would read - believe the bible and then find a problem with another fictional book.

I'm glad you don't fear death for I also consider it a passage from one state to another.  As for why people think/believe/(I would say know) there is a God I assure you there are valid reasons they make those decisions and have those thoughts.  Through the centuries there have been many Saints who gladly suffered unbelievable horrendous torture and punishment to maintain their faith and statement that God is true and Christ is who He said He was.  People burned alive, tore to pieces by animals and others who died long lingering deaths all for their faith.  There had to be something more than delusion or hopeful thought that would allow a person to endure such.  I submit to you that the PROOF that they had was God's Holy Spirit within their physical Bodies dwelling along with them being the evidence that God not only exist but granted them Salvation and Life eternal.  It was a direct, intimate, and personal knowledge of God Himself through His Holy Spirit that encompassed their lives. 

It also isn't necessarily God causing everything to happen as it could be God permitting things to happen or permitting the course of creation to go along it's way.   I do fully believe that God could have intervened and prevented the outbreak of Tornadoes and weather or Earthquakes but God's reasons are not our reasons for God does what He does not with flawed Human Reasoning but with a far inconceivable intelligence.  Our, human, understanding is so limited that we can only make judgments and reasoning based upon it but we cannot see the much greater picture as to why things occur and happen.  Ours is to accept it.  Were there miracles happen during the destruction?  Certainly there was.  Was there Churches or Christians homes destroyed as well as lives lost?  Again very certainly there was.  I cannot convey God's Mind unto you or anyone else except to say that God's Holy Spirit, for the Christian/Believer ministers in a way that comfort is provided and hope and God's Peace are granted to many when there is no reason for hope or peace.  

Why people think there is a God is because they have a very personal, intimate, relationship with God through God's Holy Spirit.  That doesn't mean the physically see God but they are encompassed by God's presence.  Their lives are altered and changed in miraculous ways and God's Holy Spirit is so pervasive that guarantee that you are HIS is not in question or doubted, for the believer.  That is why so many voluntarily died for Christ and suffered greatly for their faith it was because they have enough indis****ble proof that their faith was not in vain but was genuine.

Plenty of stupid people in the world that do odd things. Because they endured those things and died means nothing except they were blanked in the head. That doesn't constitute proof in any way. Where did your god come from?

Fair statement yet, I suggest, that is it not also a reason to wonder if there may be something more there than being "blanked in the head"?  Given the grievous ways in which many were forced to die for their faith they seemingly had no doubts but a very strong conviction that they were correct and right which could have been something beyond delusions or blanked in the head or any other mentally discounted reason.  As for Christians it started with the Disciples/Apostles after Christ death on the Cross.  They were destroyed and were fearful as well as being uncertain of what they would do.  Peter, in his fears, denied Christ three times after Christ crucifixion.  Yet something happened to give all these men and more a universal determination to teach and preach Christ to a dangerous world knowing that it would lead to their death for doing so yet they went boldly doing just that.  It was seeing  and meeting Christ after his Resurrection that gave them this boldness and determination.

Why is it so inconceivable that Christians today could not have a personal interaction with God's Holy Spirit in the same way that there would be no question or doubt in their mind as to what just happened in their life.  Something that was so powerful and strong as to dispel all doubt and remain with them to enable them to make such decisions as to willingly giving their life for the sake of Christ.

Just could it be that possibility?

AMEN!   AMEN!   AMEN!  AMEN!   AMEN!   AMEN!

You need a more accurate picture of Jesus. He didn't look like that. He wasn't white.

Hmm. Jim Jones' followers in Guyana were absolutely certain that they were headed to a better place, too. They died for their faith. Where do ya suppose THEY went to?
