  4. Are you still collecting Social Security payments and using Medicare Services? According to your own posts, you are an avowed opponent of Socialism. So you DO have your "bama phone" and Plasma TV. You are a hypocrite of the highest order. Your complete lack of moral consistency is impressive. A more perfect example of the bullshit that comes from "born again christians" cannot be found. Look up "tongue-in-cheek." That comes right before "foot in mouth" doesn't it?

  11. The risk of HIV in heterosexual men and women is much higher than it used to be. Which renders the whole "one source of blood is less risky than others" argument balderdash. Either your system of screening the blood works and is used across the board, or it doesn't work, and you are taking chances whether the donor is gay or not. How does Canada handle the problem?

  13. One of my USAF drinking sponsors explained the Thunderbird recipe. Open the bottle and consume until the level is even with the top of the label. Then add one small can of grapefruit juice, shake well and continue drinking. My problem, I couldn't stop at the top of the label. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  14. It is my understanding that HIV can remain dormant and undetected for six months or longer. A blood transfusion can be an immediate infection and the company cannot afford that level of liability. All blood is tested. However, asking the question of sexual activity is another level of precaution for the blood collection company. Bottom line, you are a higher level of risk and they can refuse your donation. The DMV representative is not medically trained. They are only instructed and trained to ask the question of whether or not you want to sign up as an organ donor.

  15. I was a strung out, homeless alcoholic stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. I reached out to Jesus Christ at the urging of the Holy Spirit. I had no other options for survival. He revealed to me that the basis of my rebellion was the fear of love and responsibility. He showed me the door to salvation as a skydive. I went through it with faith that I would land safely. The experience of surrendering to Christ and asking Him to come into my heart was the most wonderful I had ever had. He showed and granted me forgiveness. I became a new person with a new life in front of me. That experience took place 16 March 1981. It is as real today as it was then. I found out that when Jesus was all I had, Jesus was all that I needed. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  16. So basically you try to act like Jesus by that I mean you would look at a situation and think what would Jesus do if he was here? and do that instead of what you might have wanted to do? If your a good person, i am assuming here correct me if i am wrong that the voice of your conscience is what guides you do as Jesus would have. or is there another way to make sure you act correctly? The way it is usually explained is that you allow Jesus to act through you. If you act like Jesus you are simply playing a role. There is no conviction. When you surrender to Jesus you receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides you. In the beginning it is sometimes difficult to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit as distinct from the voice of your own conscience or the voice of a demonic spirit. The Holy Spirit will always guide you to a greater, stronger relationship with Jesus. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  17. please explain i know i can google it but would like to know your version, and would marring someone from a different faith have an effect? Like I said, it got me to thinking. Some of my mental consideration stems from my pastor's use of the term sanctification. I'll admit some uncertainty with regard to my new church. As I understand it, salvation comes from surrendering to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and asking Him to come into your life and guide you. Discipleship is the study and application of Biblical teaching on your path of righteousness. In other words, learning to live the right way according to God's plan. Sanctification, according to Oswald Chambers, is the complete sell out to God. The death of self and complete spiritual unification with God through Jesus. In other words, stop living a natural life and live a spiritual life. That is my opinion at this juncture. I am studying more because of my pastor. I do not accept him as the final authority in my walk and I do not know if he would agree with me. Hope this helps. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. For me whats even more difficult is trying to figure out what Salvation is? or are you saying that the very act of surrendering to Jesus is Salvation? That is correct. When a person surrenders to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior his soul is saved from spiritual death. A person's soul is his mind, emotions and will or what some refer to as personality. When you are saved you are guided to make decisions for Christ instead of for self. I tend to think that sanctification is a rather lengthy journey beginning with salvation; discipleship is the methodology. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  19. I agree. This topic got me thinking. I wonder how many people understand the difference between salvation, sanctification and discipleship? The Great Commission from Jesus was to go into the outermost parts of the world and make disciples not go save souls. I believe many evangelists do not make the distinction accurately.

  20. Just the other day a lady from my church said she quit dating a "very nice gentleman" because he would not come to our church. He is a Christian and she had attended his church. Marriage is tough enough and has a 50% failure rate. To be unequally yoked from the beginning sets up a state of conflict that is bound to get worse.

  23. If you are referring to alcoholism and other forms of substance use disorder, yes, I accept the disease concept. The disease concept is necessary to channel third party payment for the treatment. As a Christian, I accept the sin concept of the disease and believe the treatment can be handled by a knowledgeable counselor standing on the Word of God. As a master's level counselor I must make the decision of which arena I am to perform my service based on the needs of the client. I am retired, my work now is voluntary. That gives me more leeway in my choice of arenas. 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. ... ... in which all you fuckers die. Its so lovely. I have been born again into eternal life and yes, it is lovely. The same gift is available to you but you have to accept it. What is stopping you? Logic? Critical thinking? Rational though processes? You can pick any two. A fuck it, pick all three. That's honest. It takes a lot of courage to step onto the spiritual path. It is very unnatural. Folks usually only summon that kind of courage when they have no other option. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
