That can easily change wings, in a prayers notice.
I'd be happy to say a prayer with you. I would like to at least save
one soul for Christ before the rapture or mid rapture or resurection or at worse TT's death takes place.
I'd stay with crowbar . . .helps remind me to allow him to tear down stuff that I've built up so that he can resurrect his new nature in me.
If/when I had my own church, I'd name it "HONOR" . . .House Of NO Religion.
LOL WW and TT you guys crack me up.
Whitewings you have got to be the most faithful "atheist" going. LOL

Who said it will be Sunday school James. Could just as well be Saturday.
A better name for that church would be PURE. PUre REligion. The thing is that the word religion summarizes the whole Bible in one word.

But that's just it, following Christ shouldn't "be" a religion . . . for me, religion is a perversion of pure relationship.

For me it is exactly what the Bible is about. Religion means reconciliation. (Just take a peek at the Latin)
Yet another example of how men have turned a word of life into one of bondage. The word "religion" nowadays has a whole different connotation.
Re = start over , start again, go back, return, etc
Ligare = to bind, to fasten. You probably know it as ligament=fastening of bones -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligament
So Re-Ligare = Re-fasten , re-connect.
Reconciliation literally means to meet again.
So my statment "relion=Reconciliation" isn't entirly correct but close
So at it's core religion is a perfect word (for me).

I often wonder whether aethist because of incomplete knowledge or because of heart.
Or to be more exact , would a aethist convert to Christianity if they had all the knowledge concerning Gods existence.
To me they might have all the knowledge of God but might not be ready to meet God. I think the devil lies in this category, where he has knowledge of the heavens and of Christos, but would rather live his own way and live in his own kingdom.
But I think many aethist believe that the knowledge they have and the general way of the world (death pain etc) points to a world where God does not exist. Perhaps if they had knowledge that God exists, they would convert. But God is a broad category, there are many beliefs concerning God, so I don't believe that only knowledge of a creator would bring them to Jesus Christ the messiah of the bible, unless the knowledge they have does point to Jesus as the Messiah, which in that case, they then have a clear choice of whether to follow Christ or not.

The Bible says so. Every knee shall bow...
Most people don't believe in pink flying elephants. Until.... they see one.
So when people die and wake up again they instantly know religion was right all the time. Maybe at that point they still doubt who's in charge. Yaweh? allah? Zeus?

Is being happy such a crime? I quite happy in my own little spot on earth. Maybe that's part of the problem. During bad times people turn to God much larger numbers

As a Trekkie you know about Mr. Spock. Highly logical brain that serves him well. But it freezes the heart.
I'm Spockish...

Not much to convert if there is solid proof. If you saw the pink elephant you know. Not believe or consider to start believing. Nope just know.

I don't think we can not KNOW God exists. At least not until we meet Him. While on Earth it's all about faith.
We can make a case for existence of God for example arguing Bible prophecy has been fulfilled. And that people have had God-experiences. However, who's to say with 100% certainty this is because the almighty Christian God exists? Maybe it's just because the universe is "someone else's experiment". Maybe we are merely a simulation being run on a super computer. The one at helm created our religions and is responsible for all our "God-experiences". One day he will get bored of watching us killing each other and just pull the plug on us. We'll all go from existence to non-existence instantly. No heaven, no hell, no nothing.
That said, I'm mostly a believer. But I very often have my doubts. My faith is really not that strong.

Hi, ESTAD, I wonder if it has a deeper meaning.
Becoming a bondslave means blood on the doorpost.
Just like there is blood on the doorpost at passover.
Do you think there is a connection?
ESTAD also Est. A.D.
established after death (I know AD doesn't mean after death) or for the sticklers: established in the year of our Lord
as to the connection, I'd say absolutely, my guess is Sheila will have something in a couple minutes (she's so fast)
lol! established[I have laid my cornerstone in Zion] AD after desolation??? :laughing7:

No one's faith is strong. That type of faith is just weak, thin, religious fig leaves.
Jesus is the author of True Faith and it is HIS FAITH that redeems humanity.

Was Jesus's ear that was nailed to the door.
In Leviticus 14 with the cleansing of the leper the blood precedes the oil of the Spirit, so that's why His servants are crucified with Him, according to Galatians 2:20 and Galatians 6:14, Romans 6 and elsewhere. Lord Jesus was nailed to the Cross through His wrists and feet, but when we come to Christ it's merely our ear that gets nailed to the Cross so that we'll not only stick with the Lamb always, wherever He leads, but also enjoy the oil that accompanies the blood. That's why it's not a contradiction that we're crucified with Christ, nevertheless we live, yet not us but the Blood of Christ and the Oil of Christ that's dripping down from that Cross we're nailed to into our blood and being, since our greatest members that offend that have to be amputated is our manner of hearing. In Isaiah 35 first the ears of the deaf are opened and then nothing unclean passes over the highway of holiness. When our ears are nailed to the Cross, His Spirit Passes Over Us and the Destroyer isn't able to destroy our lives because of the oil that's being applied to our lives that keeps the flies, or the lord of the flies, from nesting in our scalps in the 23rd Psalm and we enjoy green pastures, walking beside still waters in Psalm 23 and Isaiah 35, and every enemy as our footstool.
