Maybe you can help me...
I want to be drawn closer to God. What can I do for that?
I also would like to know what I can draw that others are drawn closer
to God? Especially in the newsgroups? And what might cause them to step
back from God?
Looking forward to your answers,

Each person's walk with Christ is his/her own. Because of our
different shapes (each of us are uniquely and wonderfully made), my
experience is not likely to help you. This is so that we won't rely on
others but on HIM.
> Looking forward to your answers,
You have them.
Hope this helps.
May GOD continue to bless you and yours today and every day in Jesus'
most precious and holy name.
Amen.
Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

Quite true. In fact, I think he's working up a batch of something called
"bird flu" for us right now.
Not for those of us who have eternal life already through HIS Son, LORD
Jesus Christ, Who chose to suffer terribly and die horribly for our
deadly sins.

So now you're saying xians won't get bird flu. Only hindus, Moslems, etc.,
etc..,,, and of course, atheists.
Truly a chunker's Moron athon ! moment ,,,,,, AND you're an MD, something
that I'm sure makes everyone connected with Emory U. cringe.

Ask Rolf Harris nicely. If you can afford her, you could also try Tracey

You seem to think that your LORD will protect you frpm anything. Why
not put it to the test? Ever thought of trying snake handling?
I know the LORD will protect my soul from anything.
> Why not put it to the test?
It is written that we are not to test GOD.
> Ever thought of trying snake handling?
No.
It remains my choice to think of only things that will glorify GOD,
Whom I love with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Sorry this post bothers you so terribly. Please forgive all my

So, there is a distinction, then, between you and your soul? What
exactly is it?

Pity. It would prove that he protected you, and even if the worst came
to the worst, you know, do you not, that you will recieve your reward
for your faith in what you insist is a better place.
Well, then how can you ever verify that any of these claims about what god
can do, are true?
I mean, what if it's all a bunch of mythic lies, that just hang around
because they are never proven false in a test?
How about that chunkers?
Of course, I guess you don't really believe in god at all, or else you
wouldn't dare to add the jesus god to your pantheon, against his
commandment.
Only those who scoop their jesus poop can be said to be cleansed.
Moron athon !
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall
they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.
Apparently Andrew is not among "them that believe". it appears that these
signs do not follow him.
Unless, of course, he employs the laying of on hands in his practice
of cardiology.

I stepped back because I became someone I never thought
I would be. That flame war a couple Christmas's ago got
inside of me and welled up the anger and my own sins
caused me to step back and away. I can only blame
myself.
It turns out that there are no devils to cast out. There is mental
illness. Apparently science is what Jesus was predicting.

Impossible!
Everyone already lives and moves and has their being in God.
Read your bible!!!!!
Yes.

Actually, my thinking about trying snake handling would prove nothing.
Truth is simple.
Bottomline: There is no truth in you.
Still praying for your endangered soul, dear neigbor.
If that is so, and I wouldn't disagree insofar as there is anything
that could, for argument's sake, be called a soul, then the soul is as
mortal as the body.
Not for those who have been reborn of water and the Holy Spirit through
faith in LORD Jesus Christ, Who chose to suffer terribly and die
horribly to save us from our deadly sins.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
Still praying for your endangered soul, dear neighbor.
That's a quotation, not an answer. Your evasion betrays your lack of
conviction, and despite it, you have managed to contradict yourself.
Let me sort this out for you. Your soul, which is in truth your mind,
you claim is immortal because you had a brief bath and some stuff was
said whilst you were having it. My mind/soul I know to be part of my
body and equally mortal, which places it wholly in this actual reality.
That makes me sane, and you mentally ill.
sensi:
God is always with you.Sometimes it's about accepting God working in each
individual even when you disagree with how God works life is still at work.
People don't step back from God they step back from individuals who 'think'
they have more rights than any other individual.
Actually, an answer can include a quotation.
> Your evasion betrays your lack of
> conviction, and despite it, you have managed to contradict yourself.
Actually, answering is not evading.
> Let me sort this out for you. Your soul, which is in truth your mind,
Actually, there are folks who have become brain-dead because of various
medical conditions and yet, their bodies remain alive because of the
soul and not the mind.
> you claim is immortal because you had a brief bath and some stuff was

Actually, eternal life comes from faith in LORD Jesus Christ, Who has
the keys to death.
> My mind/soul I know to be part of my
> body and equally mortal, which places it wholly in this actual reality.
Actually, the suidical ideation manifest by the death wish you have
expressed as archived in Google indicates that yours is a disconnect
with reality.
> That makes me sane, and you mentally ill.
My suggestion that you inform a psychiatrist about your apparent
suidicidal ideations stand.
Bottomline: You demonstrate that you are completely without the truth.
Still praying for your endangered soul, dear neighbor.
Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
Prayer is the key to Heaven and Faith unlocks the door.
Spot on Di !!!
It's the manifestation of our prayer life (or spending time in prayer and
Bible reading) that's indicative of the depth of our relationship - no
different to knowing anyone else intimately.
Psalms provide such good examples in this regard.
The postcard to Ephesus has a prayer on this issue in 3:17-19
" ... For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every
family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his
glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in
your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to
comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and
depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may
be filled with all the fullness of God. "
This passage says such depth of intimacy is "grant[ed[ ... through His
Spirit".
Cheers.
Thank you for your answer, Diana. We were are all to blame, all who were
there, but it is over and done with now, praise the Lord!
What can we learn from it? That is important. Maybe we should all have
more trust in Him. But we all tried it on our own.
May the peace of God be with you today and forever,

Well said, Sister Diana!
