  1. Just like everybody else. I'm more honest and up front than most. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  2. Exactly. Religion is about embracing faith. Science is about rejecting faith and applying logic and reason. On cannot be a good religious person and a good scientist. NOT SO. Dr. Mary Schweitzer, PhD mh . Dr Kent Hovind has been teaching young earth theory for several years as well. http://creationtoday.org/about/dr-kent-hovind/ Ron, You know I like you and respect your views, but your guy has a PhD in theology, not science. Mary Schweitzer is a Scientist (note the capital "S"), and has taken a lot of flak from creationists because of her scientific findings, to say nothing of those who have attacked her scientific creds because of her religious views. Different as night and day. mh . Quite true and I understand your point. I am an eclectic counselor and tend to look at various avenues for knowledge and what works. For example, if a shade tree mechanic explains to me why my fuel injectors are clogging and what I need to do to correct the problem, I don't care if he has an ASE certification or not. I was just offering support. I figured kallend would be the first to attack. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  4. Mateen was seeking 72 virgins and all he got was 50 homosexuals. That's irony. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  5. God is continuing to show favor in our accident aftermath and investigation. One of the witnesses is a professional truck driver. He confirmed the other driver's incompetence, the company he was driving for and how to determine his identity through the company's safety department. So far the insurance company has settled on my truck at about $1400 more than my value estimate. PTL! Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  6. Maybe God is trying to show these people to not prostelyze in Haiti. What would it take for these stubborn people to finally get Gods message? God's message is to go into the world and make disciples. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  7. Satan is the spiritual power causing the maladies. He hates a dedicated saint and will do anything to stop their work. Haiti is the principle western country practicing Vodou. Note, in your example the missionary work is continuing. It takes a special Christian to engage in missionary work. Most all suffer to some extent. If all the posters here in the SC were gathered in one arena and Coreeece and I et.al walked in and verbally expressed our faith, what do you think the outcome would be? Now expand that thought to a savage country. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

  9. My testimony is truth, take it or leave it. I have no vested interest in your acceptance. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  10. Lame response, as kallend would say. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  11. That would suggest you as the confidence artist exploiting those in need. Except that I have nothing to gain. A con man seeks gain. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  12. Can you provide examples of when a person going through difficulties is better off by being victimized by confidence artists? My best example is when I was stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and I called out to the Lord and experienced His salvation. Two years later I asked for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and received it. Subsequently, within a few days, I was delivered from the desire to use mood altering substances. It was just me and the Lord. That is called personal testimony. It is offered as an example to those in dire need. It is the path to hope where none exists.

  13. Your definition of who is smart is both ridiculous and offensive. Are you smart enough to know when you need a lawyer, a doctor or a mechanic? You think if a person is having difficulty with life they should just die and get out of the way. Is that compassionate progressive liberalism? I believe it is.

  14. I could not understand him. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  15. In my understanding, God creates life. If an individual recognizes and accepts Him as the source and establishes a relationship with Him through Jesus the Christ he has that life source for all eternity. Without that relationship life ends when the body dies and conscious death continues for all eternity. There is a country song by Steven Phillips that I like, "Everybody Dies but not Everybody Lives." For me it has meaning in an adventurous life and a Christian belief.

  16. What I am saying is that only those people who are smart enough to know they can't live without a relationship with the Christ become believers. It is the complete surrender of self. It takes time to reach that level. It starts with admission of guilt and asking for forgiveness. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  17. Jesus the Christ does not reach the really, really smart and superiorly courageous people. He is there to save those in deep trouble. Those are the ones that are blind, sick and held captive in bondage. Obviously that is me but not you. You and many, many others here can't scientifically understand the spiritual realm. You can't even see it. However, I and few others here, can. Without a doubt, there is no logic in that. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  18. Being protected when things happen is an argument for the existence of God. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

  20. Yesterday my wife and I had one of those life changing experiences, again. We were clipped by a semi-truck and flipped in our pickup while travelling south on I-75. When the truck came to a sliding stop we were surrounded by Christian first responders that just happened to be travelling in our area. These included a fireman, who just happened to show up it time with a fire extinguisher to put out our engine fire. We were trapped inside. A young rather thin man climbed through the passenger side back window and pushed out the windshield with the help of two other guys on the outside. He supported my wife who could not release her seat belt and cut it. The first person I met was a Christian RN who began treating my lacerated arm and praying for me. Two other Christian ladies escorted my wife to a chair and began prayer with and for her. An ambulance going in the opposite direction responded immediately and checked us out within ten minutes. So today we are very thankful to be alive. We only have scrapes and bruises. We were protected by the hand of God. BTW, the semi was a hit and run. Another trucker stopped to help and he called the incident in to DOT. They'll be looking for the driver. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  21. OK! You riled up some folks in another thread. I see my country in deep trouble. It angers me. I am totally against progressive liberalism. I believe it to be an evil influence. I have banded together with like minded folks. We have found a place to make our stand. I'm outa here for a few days. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  22. Makes sense to me. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  23. Hundreds of millions of people in this world consume such substances as part of life without suffering what you went through. Hundreds of millions of people have faith without believing the extremes that you believe. It is possible that the problem lies within you and not within them. That is absolutely correct. My problem is my problem. I took responsibility for it and did something about it. Some of us get victory over our problem and would like to share the joy. Why does that bother you? Maybe you have an undefined problem and can't figure it out. Maybe not, maybe your life in Canadia is so perfect that you believe you have the right to judge all others, especially Americans. Maybe.... Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  24. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/never-mind-trump-gop-uniting-under-banner-never-hillary/ar-BBtA3CF?ocid=spartanntp Michael Savage stated several months ago that the ideal election would be Trump against Sanders. I don't think ol' Bernie can whip the Clinton machine. But, BHO stated somewhere on his latest kiss ass, hate America trip that there is no difference in ideology between Bernie and Hillary.

  25. I used to be like you. I loved mood altering substances as well. I wanted to be cool. Then one day, all of a sudden, out of the clear blue sky, I was unemployed, divorced and homeless. Denial is not a river in Africa. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
