Go to heaven for the climate, **** for the company. Mark Twain

I would like to encourage anyone who has a spiritual need to lift your eyes up above the failures of man, the weakness of man, the stumbling blocks of man, the misunderstandings of man, and look to Jesus the Christ, the redeemer of sinful man, who is sitting at the right hand of the Father making intersession for you and me. As the woman in Mark 5: 25,26,27 had a need in her life that only the Master Christ The Lord could help her with came in the press of people all around them, was able by her Faith in his power, to touch him for healing. You too can touch him for your needs if you will look to him the author and finisher of our faith. May the Lord give us all the strength to look to him.

Moreover, your little ones who you said would become a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall possess it. (Deuteronomy 1:39)

Or like a miscarriage which is discarded, I would not be, As infants that never saw light. There the wicked cease from raging, And there the weary are at rest. (Job 3:16-17)

Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:13-14)

(John 8:24) " I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."(John 10:1) " Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."(John 10:9) " I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."(John 14:6) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Only through the name of Jesus. Not through works, or good intentions, just Jesus Christ. Show me a KJV verse that says otherwise,

tis only your opinion...I do thank the Universe that!!!

"for we are members of one another"... sounds kinda kinky

The scripture is speaking of the body of Christ, the church, many members and needed to make up the body. Just as our own bodies have many members and each member is important and needed. Our bodies are wonderfully created and we need all parts working to be healthy. The Lord Christ Jesus is in the process of forming his body of believers at this very time. And yes he has workers doing his work in this world, I thank him for what he is doing.

foxhunt...it is called justification, it is granted to those whom came before the Christ...and to those who have never heard the word...and to the innocents, i.e. such as children whom have not reached the age of accountability, such as your niece...

The act of justification
One-time act

"Justification is a legal act, wherein God deems the sinner righteous on the basis of Christ's righteousness. Justification is not a process, but is a one-time act, complete and definitive.

The word justification is not always used in the same sense. Some even speak of a fourfold justification as a justification from eternity, a justification from the resurrection, a justification in final judgment � as these are all true"

Foxhunt, he was stupid and didn't need to be preaching

xxxxxx

He is stupid. People on here said the same stuff.You have to believe and ask to be saved by Jesus. Nothin about millions who grew up and died without ever hearing of Jesus, or who never life old enough. How could a loving God demand that of people who never had a chance choice? Anyone who said my neice or brother went to **** because they didn't do this is sick

Foxhunt, he was stupid and didn't need to be preaching.

"for we are members of one another"...

sounds kinda kinky

not really...

I love going to church,To sing Worship,And here the man of God preach the message.But when someone gets Saved that is a wonderful reason to go to Church maco4 (view profile) Posted 11:00 pm, 11/22/2014 He is a *** hole

A slightly mixed message.

Years back I went to a local Baptist Church. The preacher was an old guy. He kept saying unless you ask God with your mouth to save you, and accept Jesus as your savior you were gonna go to ****. I ask if there were exceptions. He said no. I had lost my 3 year old neice to cancer that year. Poor thing she never got the chance. He said everyone was born with sin, so we are all bound for ****.

I got to thinking about the baby my Momma miscarried. All those Indians who lived and died never even knowing about Christ before Columbus came. All those people in africa, china, indians,russia, japan, south american, for 1500 years people who never knew of Jesus Millions of peole living and dying never even hearing the name Jesus,. God condeming them all to **** for somthing out of their control. what about those 1000's of year before Jesus was here. Not many were Jews.

It seemed to me it all came down to who you knew, where you lived, and if you had the right parents to tell you this stuff. Stopped going to church after that. Either he was right and God was monsterous, or he was stupid and didn't need to be preaching, and God just let him go on spreading lies in his hame.

It's almost to bad that they don't have a thumbs up button on here because 1047pm said it better than I ever could. I'm a firm believer but I believe the church and the so called men of the cloth have collectively failed not only the Father but also the flock as well. I believe there are SOME good churches and SOME good preachers out there but in this day and age they are few and far between. I just broke up with my girlfriend over this issue. She is a good woman and a strong believer and I'm a firm believer as well but I don't go to church. I haven't been to church, other than weddings and funerals but maybe 10 times within the last 20 years and that's due in no small part to the fact that I grew up about 10 minutes down the road from PTL and remember the whole Jim/Tammy Baker scandal quite well. Neither I nor my family were involved in PTL in anyway shape or form other than I'd watch Jim & Tammy on TV from time to time out of curiosity but I had a preacher at the church I was attending at about that same time that had his own "fall from grace". I also have an uncle (by marriage) that is a minister that is just about one of the lowest scumbag degenerates I've ever known. These things along with other experiences and things I've observed have made me quite skeptical if not down right cynical of the modern church. It's sad that the church (collectively speaking) has had such a fall from grace and failed the believer and God alike so miserably in recent years/decades. My ex wanted me to go to church with her and I just couldn't do it which is why we are no longer together.

Wrong, not going to church, means youre going to Walmart!
