  1. As a counselor, I had a rule not to counsel a female alone. At the least when necessary, the door was left open. The precaution is to protect the male from the possible fraudulent allegations of the female. You misread the intent of the Billy Graham Rule.

    Your comeback is that both democrats and republicans regret that Trump is president? Think it through dude, think it through OK quickdraw. My theory is alot of Democrats stayed home on election day because they believed what the MSM was telling them. Had they not gotten lazy I'm pretty certain Hillary would be POTUS today. It seems at lot of working class Dems switched parties. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/28/upshot/a-2016-review-turnout-wasnt-the-driver-of-clintons-defeat.html Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  3. Exactly, there's no such thing as buying your sins away. Charitable actions don't mean he can continue to do wrongs year after year, there's also no "end justifying the means" with him. His means is telling people that giving money to him means they go heaven, get their sins absolved and their illnesses get cured even though he has no more authority over the afterlife than I do. He's a con artist and bilks people so he can live a life of luxury. A Christian would not buy in to that. Non-Christians are likely to believe anything. Your last sentence reminds me of the Clinton Foundation. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

    Wait till you finally figure out you voted for a Russian puppet. I am sure that will give you some angst though I have no doubt that in a choice between a woman and a Russian you will happily vote for a Russian. You will find a way to rationalize it. That could tie in with eschatology. There are a lot of Christians in Russia. I believe in ranks third in the world. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  7. Robertson is bat shit crazy and preys on gullible people for money. He provided assistance to Vietnam vets back in the '80s. I recall he wrote John Steer a $10,000 check on the spur of the moment to help with the development of Ft Steer in Arkansas. Operation Blessing was a huge asset during disasters.

    Checking in: No disappointed Trump supporters in my area. Most are not too pleased with Congress however. The same seems to hold true for family, except my granddaughter and her ex-husband. She is an apolitical feminist and he is a progressive liberal and spends most of his time outside the country. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  11. The irony meter is pegged. You know, you just keep pegging away like a bully. But you never answered my questioned in the other thread. Where did this Ron guy ever predict that the end of the world was last year? Please excuse me, I tend to get a bit defensive when my fellow sheep are attacked. (not that Ron needs my protection) If I'm not mistaken, last summer he was citing some type of Pro apocalyptict American/Israeli web site that suggested that the end of the world would occur during the fall of 2016. I'm looking out my kitchen window as I write this, although it's a little overcast, everything still looks the same. And I'm sure if you asked Ron about his prediction, he'd tell you. I did not predict anything. I shared some thoughts from Jonathon Cahn's book, The Mystery of the Shemitah. However, consider: 1. The election victory of President Donald Trump. 2. The U.S. turned its back on Israel by abstaining from the U.N. vote regarding Palestine. These are two very important incident's in world history, IMO.

    Everything is relative. A lady in my church, not 65 yet, has to pay almost $500/mo and has very high copays for her health care. But, she will die soon so it all balances economically.

  15. The first part of your statement appears to refer to the Roman Catholic faith. The Protestant Reformation drifted from the concept of mandatory contribution necessary for salvation. However, a few of the TV hucksters have revived it to grab those still in spiritual darkness. The 144,000 refer only to the Jews, 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes. Remember, the Book of Revelation is for the Jewish people. The Christian believers will be gone. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  21. Like Wendy, not trying to trap you. Just asking. I thought you and your friends and family and congregation were 100% convinced. What's up with the "doubt and uncertainty"? Do you have any of that? That is a good question and I pondered it as well after my post. Jesus Christ is the blessed hope and we worship God in spirit and in truth by faith by focusing on Jesus to see Christ. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. All Christians are still human beings in various stages of spiritual development. As such, no we are not always 100% convinced 100% of the time. When we pray and seek relationship with Christ we are reassured by the Holy Spirit. We experience righteousness, peace and joy in that relationship. That is our foundation for dealing with life. As humans we drift. There are two aspects of the mind. One is ego generated and the other is the Holy Spirit. The former reinforces its illusions by attack. The latter guides to truth and happiness. We are naturally more attached to our ego voice than to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Thus we have to carry our cross, we have to die daily. That is to say, we have to suffer our ego death daily. If we are raptured in the big event we will know it is over. The need to die physically and daily to ego is over for all eternity. And, we know that we will not have to experience God's Wrath, not to be mistaken for the end of the world, which follows the Rapture and the opening of the seventh seal. And, as a parachutist I would say that would be the ultimate yahoo experience. Hope this helps, best I can do first thing in the morning on one cup of coffee.

  22. Ah sorry, I thought a metaphysical scholar such as yourself would have noticed the difference. I dropped a heavy enough hint You got me. You are the master in Dr Eric Berne's IGYSOB game.

  24. Most believe the Antichrist will come from Turkey or one of the other Mideastern countries. It is still too soon to tell. Stay focused on Israel not America.
