And therein lies the problem. You want it all your way. You deny God as surely as if you were an atheist. Spare you? You come on a Christian forum and spew this bile, then get your feelings hurt and resort to poetry. Sorry, but here our standard is the Bible, God's word. Yes, about what counts...

Adam and Eve. Had they only obeyed God, they would have led the most idillic lives. Instead, they eventually died.

I believe the Spirit indwells us at the moment we are saved: Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all...

Repentance is a turning away from sin- ALL sin. It is a heart condition resulting in a restoration of fellowship with your Creator; a return to the state Adam had with God when he walked with Him in the Garden. It has nothing to do with being at the altar in a church. That is church dogma, a...

I'm the same way, except having been involved in gov't statistics I know the numbers get twisted to suit agendas. So I look more at what I can see or have experienced. First off, having a gun has saved my life, or at least my property and my (achem) "good looks." On one occasion it definitely...

Using frozen doggie "pucks" would be most effective! :poop:

Good advice. However I have long been on their "list," for many reasons. Heck-fire, I used to call the ATF for advice when modifying friends guns for them! I've always been outspoken for the cause of freedom, was in the military, and have met with several groups I am sure they were watching. I...

OK, here is my preliminary PoS with changes. Not many, but possibly significant. It's a bit long, but I'll run it by the primary users and see what they think. Ultimately any changes would have to be approved by all of them, as they are the ones I do this for; they are doing most of the work...

God's word is not there for us to pick and choose what we like from it. Either you trust God and believe in Him and what He said, or you do not. There are no half measures. Accept God and His whole word or be eternally damned. Those are our choices. Your salvation is between you and God, but...

Yes, I tend to stress repentance when I witness, including when talking through my PoS. That's why I start out with Ruth's statement. She turned away from everything she knew to go with Naomi, knowing full well what and WHO she was going to. That is a picture of repentance: leaving everything...

LOL, you are incorrigible, mate! I wish you luck with that. But my wife's father escaped Germany where there were no guns except in the hands of Nazis. He went to the UK, and she was born in Derbyshire. So I talk to people there, and I've heard the stories from some. It's not all that safe in...

Meanwhile, here is what I am starting with: PLAN OF SALVATION 1. Salvation is not about religion, it is about relationship. You must recognize that your sins have separated you from a relationship with God: Isaiah 59:1-2...

??? Joel 2:23 “Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.

OK, well, some really good stuff here. I'm going to start compiling it and bounce it against my normal plan and see if I can improve on it. It has to be concise, as I must be able to paste it in the back of the Bibles I give out. But I may try and do two pages with space to tape in the pocket...

Wow. Gone a couple of hours and 3 pages of arguing, shouting, and anger. I went over then pretty fast. Hope I didn't miss any serious posts. If so I am sorry ... but I am not going to repent and read every word posted like that! :)

Yep! It has saved mine, having a gun. Other times it could have got me into trouble, having either a gun or a knife. But since I know how to use them responsibly and how not to act pridefully (things Christians should know) I didn't. I've had to swallow my pride and just walk away, because just...

Actually they would have more power. Gangs come together because there is power in numbers. Without the "force multipliers" out there in our cities like private gun ownership, the gangs would have free rein. And the police, impotent to do more than clean up after the fact before are now in many...

Wish more here had that attitude. THAT folks is a good Christian attitude. Just sayin'.

What really surprises me somewhat (but really not that much as I've witnessed it firsthand for years)- but the amount of vitriol and hatred and shots fired in every thread here. Anyone that disagrees is targeted, lied about, their words twisted and used against them if nothing overt can be found...

Luke 22:36 He said to them, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one. As soon as we are done using them for Godly purposes. Things like protecting our families, protecting our freedoms, or just...
