May we never forget the lives that were lost for freedom.
We all have our own lives and lines of work. Well, so do the Iraqi
soldiers. There's just happens to be a very tragic and fatal profession.
Think yourself lucky you weren't born an Iraqi under the current regime. I
do.
I live in New Zealand (although not for long). But I call this place home,
and to me it's the greatest place in the world (you might even agree if
you've been here). I'm sure thats what a lot of Iraqis think of their home
too.

Just so you know, forgiveness in the Bible only follows repentance and
confession.If these workers of satan do not put down their arms,
surrender , repent and confess their sins we as Americans are under no
biblical obligation to forgive them , God will punish them, not offer
them additional grace, not everyone will receive Gods grace and
mercy, and if the die without confession and repentance, like it or
not the Bible does not teach that they will or can receive
forgiveness.Only the Latter Day Saints believe that a person can die
lost and still become saved and baptised, this is not a belief of
evangelicalism .The belief that all people will be saved is called
universalism, and Universalism is rejected by both the Catholic and
Protestant church.

this is truly one of the most idiotic statements i've read anywhere on the

How would you feel if the US were invaded by a foreign army because they didn't

You are not only a closed-minded religious zealot, you are a complete moron.
Deuteronomy chapter 25 starting in verse one is very clear:
If there is a controversy between groups of peoples ... the judges may
judge them and decide who is just and they shall condem whoever is
wicked.And if the wicked person(s) is worthy to be beaten the judge
can order him to lie down and be beeten according to the extent of
what he did wrong...
Psalm 82:2 says :
How long shall you go without judging the unjust and how long will you
go accepting persons who are wicked?DEFEND the poor, fatherless, do
justice to protect those who are afflicted and needy.DELIVEr the poor
and needy, get them rid of being in the hand of the wicked.
Ezra 7:26 says:
Whoever does not follow the Laws of God and the laws of the King ,
judgement is to be executed speedily upon him if it meand he is to be

I think "you know who" must have flunked basic Theology, en route to his

I read you quotes, and I feel sorry for you Mikey. I live in different
country to you. Quite a whole world away in many aspects, so my views on
this won't have an American accent.
I did mention that I wasn't a religious person didn't I? Quoting scriptures
from the Bible to me isn't going to justify what you say, I'm afraid.
I'm sorry, but the armies against Iraq, gallant (scared) and brave (stupid)
as they are, are not your army. They may be working your gods will, but how
do you know this? I see any war as an evil thing, and to condone it is evil
too. I don't like Saddam any more than you do, and I have no other options
or solutions to the war either, but you quotes basically refer to the U.S.
being god's nation and anyone against the U.S. as god's enemy, and so should
be cast down by the righteous. Are you telling me you belive Bush to be
righteous and speaking/acting with the will of god? I don't think so.
This is pointless. You've obviously got a very inflexible mind (on many
matters), but I just wanted to show you a....not opposing view, but a
different one.
If I ever prayed, I might ven think about praying for you Mikey...but
probably not.
I have my beliefs, you have yours (regarding trumpet playing as well - quite
laughable).
Lets just leave it at that.
All the best converting the rest of the world to your views.

BIBLICAL GUIDELINES FOR NATIONAL PRAYER
At this critical time in our nation's history, it is imperative that
Christians join together in prayer for our troops who wage war against
a merciless enemy. This column is designed to offer suggestions on how
to effectively pray for our troops, our leaders and our nation during
this time of war and social unrest.
PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS
"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and
delivers them" (Psalm 34:7, NKJV).
I often reflect on this verse when praying for our military personnel
now fighting for the liberation of Iraq. It is comforting to know that
God wants to guard and deliver those who trust Him. That is why it is
so vitally important that Christians blanket our soldiers, sailors,
airmen and marines in prayer.
I was heartened to witness a variety of news reports documenting the
many worship services that were taking place prior to the military
campaign into Iraq. One very moving photo showed a young man being
baptized in a modified pool there. Baptist Press also showed a young
technician being baptized in a munitions crate aboard the U.S.S. Harry
S Truman.
Many of the men and women fighting to liberate Iraq are Christian
brothers and sisters. In fact, several Liberty University students and
graduates are now serving in the region as chaplains. I am confident
that these individuals - and many others - are standing as outspoken
representatives for Christ in the midst of battle. I have been praying
that many American service members come to know Christ as Savior while
serving their nation.
Let us also continue to pray that the Lord will safely deliver our
troops to their families and friends who await their return. And may
our nation welcome them home as heroes when they return to us.
PRAYING FOR OUR LEADERS
Earlier this year, President Bush said, "We pray for wisdom to know
and do what is right and we pray for God's peace in the affairs of
men."
Since our nation's founding, many of our leaders have sought God's
hand in human endeavors. We continue to call on Him to direct our
leaders.
In his "A Prayer for America," author Max Lucado beautifully expressed
his hope for the nation in the wake of September 11: "Let your mercy
be upon our President, Vice President, and their families. Grant to
those who lead us wisdom beyond their years and experience. Have mercy
upon the souls who have departed and the wounded who remain. Give us
grace that we might forgive and faith that we might believe. And look
kindly upon your church. For 2,000 years you've used her to heal a
hurting world. Do it again, Lord. Do it again."
I Timothy 2:1-2 tells us: "Therefore, I exhort first of all that
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made
for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead
a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."
Our responsibility is to support our leaders in prayer. The Bible
recounts times in the past when God's people did not take this
responsibility seriously and the consequence was often the rise to
power of evil monarchs. I encourage readers to honor President Bush
and the members of his administration with your faithful prayers.
PRAYING FOR OUR NATION
Proverbs 14:34 reminds us, "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is
a reproach to any people."
This is why it is so vitally important that Christians become involved
in the democratic process. It is essential that we vote for leaders
who will uphold Judeo-Christian values.
Anne Graham Lotz, appearing on CBS's Early Show on Sept. 13, 2001,
discussed the importance of prayer in sustaining our nation. She noted
that God is "emotionally involved in our pain" and that He "can bring
comfort beyond human understanding."
During this time of war and potential terror, many people are asking
important questions about life and personal peace. Christians must be
ready to provide appropriate answers that point people toward the
outstretched hand of Christ. This is how true revival can begin in our
nation.
Furthermore, if we are to be involved in instigating a spiritual
reawakening in America, we must look to Ephesians chapter five to make
sure that we, as Christians, are living as true examples of Christ.
DON'T GROW WEARY IN WELL DOING
I would encourage Christians everywhere to continue to diligently pray
for our troops, our leaders and our nation. No matter how dark the
hour may seem, God continues to hear and answer our prayers. Galatians
6:9 tells us how important it is to be persistent in our Christian
efforts: "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due
season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."

Even though I was brought up in the Catholic faith, I can't help but
to resent that there are those who think that Christians are the only
ones on Earth who have a direct line to God. It's arrogance to the nth
degree. But there again, we must consider the source where Falwell is
a smooth talking religious bigot who is a cause instead of a cure.
Right now, we need as much help as we can get. I'm not too concerned
whether the person next to me praying is Christian, Jewish, Buddhist,
Shinto, or whatever. Maybe their prayers might help save my ass.

To the other Mikey. I would suggest that if you mention LDS it would
be a good idea to also mention that they are NOT Christians. Some
people do not know this. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Matthew 7:15. Very similar to Islam, although most have have tempered
their extreme views and do not cause the same type of trouble as they
did in the past. Many Muslims also do not follow their "prophets'"
words and are thus tolerable to live with.

You Bible thumpers can do more for the world by securing gainful and

It's always a pleasure to tell it like it is. That'll be the day I
need to have someone tell me how to pray. Those that try are no
better than those fanatics our good soldiers are sent to fight. The
only difference is that they wear expensive Brooks Brothers suits
(paid for by their prey) instead of desert clothing. Not to get me
wrong. I DO respect those that teach the Faith. However, it's at their
premises when I choose and never at the front door of my home. Them's
my rules where they will suffer my Eternal damnation if they attempt
to violate them.

That's all well and good where you wish to fight for sheer principle.
Most say this is so. However, the flip side of the coin is that
soldiers are fighting the best they can in self defense. Maybe I'm
getting mellow as I get older, but I would find it rather difficult
for me to kill someone only because a 'superior' tells me to rather
than if someone was trying to do a number on me. This is coming from
someone who has answered the call to arms from 1964 to 1968.
Meanwhile, if 'Uncle' does change his mind and accepts you for
service, it will be for the good of the service that he gives you a
toilet brush and NOT a trumpet.
Re:
Saddam is just another Adolf Hitler.
Hitler destroyed my families country and Saddam has destroyed Iraq.
Saddam is a demon inspired ungodly torturing, murdering terrorist,
he has even murdered little children.
Saddam is of the Devil.His father is Satan.
If we do not stop Saddam/Sadam/Sodom we will re-live Hitler's evil
all over again because Saddam is controled by the same one that Hitler
was, the devil.
God said (Ex.20:5) that he is a jealous God and that He would visit
the third and forth generation of them that hate Him.
Number 15:31 says that evil doers will be cut off.
2 Samuel 7:14 said that whoever commits iniqity against God, God will
chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children
of men.
Job 20:5 says that the triumphing of the wicked is short.
Job 19:25 says to be afraid of God's sword, for wrath brings the
judgements of the sword, that ye might know there is judgements.
Saddam needs to be afraid, very afraid, God's judgement is upon
him.America has learned not to let another Hitler flurish.

Militant Muslims are a great threat to world peace.Evil militant
Muslims are the cause of this current Iraqi conflict, not George W.

Rich people buy assets , and can afford to pay for luxuries with CASH
and give gladly to charity from their overflowing wealth created from
their assets.Rich people give LARGE gifts to the Trumpet of the Lord
and other charities and they rejoice in seeing us get money to bless
others because they know they will get a return on their investment as
you can not out give God.God blesses the rich , money cometh to the
rich.The rich believe it is o.k. for charities to be blessed.They are
happy to see charities needs met.
Poor peoples money goes to pay for expences like their home, car,
taxes and credit cards so they only tip charity , and if they give at
all they complain about it,the poor are big on complaining about
charities , small in the giving, poor people complain when a rich
foundation gives to a charity like the Trumpet of the Lord.The poor
call charities the "Trumpet of the Fraud" if they see God blessing
others because poor people are jealous when they see others being
blessed or charities living above poverty.The poor lack because they
buy liabilities on credit to impress others, while many rich could
care less what kind of car they drive because they want to impress
their families with a large inheritance , the rich live to impress
themselves with assets , not liabilities like cars or homes that are
not paid for.
It is not how much money you make, it is how much money you keep.
Stop following your poor mans to get an education and a job , learn
how to start your own company and shelter some taxes and build real
wealth, and if you get rich please send a large donation to the
Trumpet of the Lord, just think, you will be so rich you won't even
miss it.

Mikey,
You've done saved my soul. Perhaps I should reconsider buying that new
WT trumpet and pass the bucks on to you. However, in view of the fact
that I'm nearly 60, retired from the USPS after 35 years of service,
took care of a wife for 16 years before she died of cancer, sent two
kids thru college (Oberlin and Eastman), paid off my mortgage and car,
and contribute liberally to many charities, I think that I'm due this
luxury. After countless thorough examinations of my conscience, I
can't think of any good reason not to. Meanwhile, I'd be more prone to
donate a hefty amount of money to your cause had it been affiliated
with the Comedy Connection. It's not so much the content of your
sermons as it is your presentation that makes it a potential head
liner. Now that I've blown off some steam, it's time for me to work on
my 'Sailing The Seven C's' book. Thus far, I'm making good progress,
despite the fact that I have schleroderma and dentures on the way. I
was barking up the wrong tree for years where prayers alone did me no
good. It was God who finally told me that beside praying, a lot of
hard work is the answer. Perhaps this might be the answer to all your
woes. Talk is cheap Mikey and your advice sucks to boot.

Terrorist? Look who's talking. Are you not resorting to the same
tactic, that is to say FEAR? You're saying that if one is not a
Christian, that person will face Eternal damnation in Hell (i.e. fire
and brimstone). That kind of fate will be as fearsome as someone
saying 'abide by my orders or you will die.' Unfortunate as it is,
some people believe you. I don't because I was brought up to abide by
principles and morals because it was being considerate and
non-injurious to my fellow man, NOT because there was the threat of
punishment by being cast into Hell instead of Eternal paradise in
Heaven. People like yourself blow smoke about greed and selfishness,
yet desire Eternal paradise where everything you want will be granted.
What's being more greedy than that?????? Even though my wife is not
Christian, I'm sure that she will have Eternal rest in God's favor.
Why??? Not because of her method of faith but how she behaved and
acted in life. I'm aware of 911 and who was the cause. How about the
Oklahoma City bombing? I believe that Tim was brought up to be a God
fearing Christian. You're definitely wrong to pick and choose who is
to be considered righteous. That's up to the One at the Gate when each
of us cross over.

In fact, Muslims believe that the Arab people are direct descendents of
Abraham through his first son, Ishmael, by Hagar On behalf of her son,
Issac, Sarah caused Abraham to expel Ishmael into the desert. But the God
promised Hagar that he would make of Ishmael a great nation. This story is
told in Genesis, Chapters 16 and 21, as well as in the Koran. The Jews
believe they descended from Issac, the Muslims believe that the Arabs
descended from Ishmael.
Recognizing that Christians and Jews are also "people of the book" -- that
is, believers in the God of Abraham, the Koran instructs that Christians and
Jews are not subject to forced conversion, although they are required to "be
humbled" and to pay special taxes.

It's God himself that will pass judgement. You are the one on the
path to Hell. If you deny the opportunity to accept his sacrifice for
you it is your choice to go. Jesus stands at the door knocking. All
you have to do is ask him. Take the opportunity today. I challenge
you to pray to God and tell him that you will accept him as your Lord
and Saviour if he will reveal himself to you. Do you have the guts to
accept this challenge?
Revelation 3:20
Falwell is lumped in with those two? Why? Because he preaches
Christianity on TV? So does that charlatan Benny Hinn. Jerry Falwell

Iraq is not really a Muslim war. Sadam is a Nazi (a form of

Number 1 Mikey, I am not denouncing Jesus. I recognize him to be the
son of God. However, I with no compunction am denouncing you and those
like you that with much arrogance insist that you're in God's inner
circle.
Let's be realistic. In the most basic of terms, Jesus got a raw deal.
Yes, he did sacrifice, but not for me, not for you. He really had no
choice and did not volunteer himself to be put on the cross. Jesus was
a great man who undoubtedly had enough smarts not to be suicidal. So,
the bottom line is that Jesus got railroaded or what is better known
as being lynched.
However Mikey, I clearly am familiar with Jesus' words, "Let he who is
free of sin cast the first stone." Seems to me that you are prejudging
me even though you aren't man enough to admit it. As you say, and as I
agree, God himself will pass judgement. How is it that you enter the
equation and project what my fate is to be? Are YOU, Mikey, free of
sin to cast that first stone?
Challenge????? I face challenges each and every day and deal with them
accordingly. If I am to be cast into Hell, then so be it. I can only
hope that Hell will be fire and brimstone instead of what I fear it to
be - listening to a zillion accordion players all playing Lady Of
Spain. That would be Eternal damnation.

Mikey,
If you guys were able to express your beliefs properly, you wouldn't
have to resort to the glitter, glamor, and music in order to tend to
the flock. What you've done is turn a medicine show into a BIG bucks
deal. It's shameful that the ministry of organized religion has turned
into an industry that (excuse the term) has more money than God. Yet,
despite the material wealth that organized religion has, people in
this world are still starving. Why is this so when the flock reached
down into their pockets answering organized religion's plea to avert
or prevent such a thing? They ought to throw the entire bunch of you
in jail and throw the key away. Until such time as you people clean
up your respective acts, I'll not budge on lessening my contempt.

I have reason to believe that this Mikey is not the same
as the Schmidt-for-brains Mikey. Schmidt-head has certainly
been known to pop up as various supposes Schmidt-head
supporters, and it has always been trivially easy to tell
that it's really MES. For one thing, the headers have
revealed that these Sybil-characters use MES's own computer!
But just in the body of the post, MES has always given
conclusive clues as to who he really is. I won't say
exactly what the clues are, and let Mikey in on his
own secret, but many of you will have notices these same
clues. And this new Mikey's posts lack these tell-tale
signs. So either MES has wised up learn to post better
forgeries, or the new Mikey is a different person.
The chances that the bull-Schmidt artist has wised up
are miniscule. Possibly Mikey II has been put up to it
by MES, but I think they are tow different people. Of
course, I may be totally wrong.

Unlike Swaggart, Falwell believes in the biblical teaching of once
saved always saved / eternal security.Unlike Swaggart Falwell is a
local pastor first and a tv minister second.Dr. Falwell is never to
busy for his members at Thomas Road, or the people of Lynchburg for
that matter , they are the main focus of his ministry, not his t.v.
church and radio stations.
Swaggart is a hypocrite; preaching against whoremongering and then he
was caught in a hotel room with a prostitute; preaching against
Christian Contemporary rock music while his own church plays Christian
Contemporary rock music and even uses drums sets; preaching about the
victory of the cross and Jesus Christ while not believing that faith
and belief in Christ's atoning death on the cross with confession and
repentance guarantees eternal life.I guess Jimmy Swaggart sins so many
times that he falsely believes that he needs to keep getting saved all
over again and again and again.That's not victory in Jesus Christ.The
book of John says "These things have I written that you might know
that you have eternal life". When caught in his pathetic sin red
handed Jimmy Swaggart refused to follow the leadership discipline of
his own denomination, and now Jimmy regularly uses his radio time to
bash his former church leadership Jimmy does not like the fact that
they were asking him to submit to proper church discipline for being
caught having some kind of sex in a hotel room with a known hooker( I
believe they wanted him to serve a years suspention from his ministry,
get counseling, restore fellowship.Shame on you Jimmy, you destroyed
your ministry, lost your calling and annointing and made other
Christian TV ministers look like hypocrites and fools.You pointed the
finger at the splinter in Jimmy Bakers eye when you had a log in your
own eye.Jimmy stop using your radio ministry to bash other
denominations like the Baptists , good decient Christian Contemporary
bands, the Masons, and your personal battle with the Assemblies of God
Church.
As for Jimmy Bakker the title of his book "I was wrong" says a lot.
I read Jimmy's book and I do not agree with his accusations about Dr.
Falwell , but I have a lot of respect for a guy who I believe honestly
admits what he did was wrong and made a true appology for it , is
contrite,sincere, and he tried his best to make up for what he did
wrong.None of us are perfect, and Jimmy like myself is a sinner , I
believe it is time that we forgive him.A friend of mine Officer
Rockett once went up to Jimmy when he was in Federal Prison, mind you
Officer Rockett was a State of Georgia Correctional Officer at the
time but his uniform somehow got him access to Rev. Jimmy, and Officer
Rockett asked Jimmy "Good Reverend, do you have any advice that you
can give to me"
Jimmy looked tward him and answered "Don't go to prison".
I will never forget Officer Rocketts last day at the prison that I
worked at with him, Officer Rockett had a sence of humor about him ,
his entire last day he answered his radio making his best Ernest
Angley impersonation.
It was so funny.

> Swaggart is a hypocrite;
Well, you've just joined a small but select group of people in my killfile
-- not because I have any affinity for Swaggart, but rather, because I've
found that killfiling people who indulge in name-calling (and, BTW, that's
my sole criterion), makes Usenet a MUCH pleasanter place.
A parting plea: spend the time that you would have spent composing off-topic
postings to this newsgroup on practicing or ministering, instead. The
world will be a better place for it.

Dieters live life in the fasting lane.
Jimmy Swaggart is teaching false doctrine.He points his fingers at
baptist ministers for our teaching on once saved always saved, but
Swaggart is the one who is wrong biblically.
He crys boo hoo sob sob about his victory in the cross but his cross
ia a false cross built on the sinful life of a whoremongerer and
fingerpointer whose salvation is filled with doubt.Jimmy's cross is
not a good enough cross to fulfill John 10.
Perfection is required to get to heaven.
None of us are perfect.
WE CAN NOT EARN , WORK OR MERIT the perfection required to get to
heaven.
It MUST be God's gift to us.
The Bible says in John 6:47 "he that believeth on Jesus HATH
everlasting life"
"But he that believeth not is condemed already because he hath not
believed in the name of the only begotton son of God.
John 20:31 says "These things have I written unto you that believe
(pistio)
on the name of the son of God , that you MIGHT KNOW that you have
eternal life , and that you might believe in the name of the son of
God.
Luke 19:10 says that "For the son of man (Jesus) came to seek and to
SAVE those who were lost."Jesus came for assurance of salvation, not
doubt.
John 3:17 says that "For God sent his son not into the world to condem
the world; but that the world thru him could be saved".
I Peter 3:18 says "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, for
the just and the unjust, that he might bring us to god, being put to
death in the flesh , but made alive by the Spirit.
2Corinthians 5:21 says that For he hath made him who knew no sins for
us, WHO KNOW SIN, that we might be made the rightousness of God IN
him"
IN HIM
IN HIM
IN HIM
IN HIM
IN HIM
NOT IN OURSELVES
IN HIM

NOT in our rightoue living but...
IN HIM
IN HIM
IN HIM NOT IN JIM
Get is right Mr. Swaggart, your lifestyle, and we know how it is, CAN
NOT SAVE YOU!!!
THE ONLY CHANCE YOU HAVE IN BEING SAVED IS IN CHRIST
IN HIM
IN HIM
IN HIM
NOT IN YOUR LIVING
NOT IN YOUR SINLESS ATTEMPTS
NOT IN SPEAKING IN TONGUES
NOT IN THE BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT
NOT IN HEALINGS
NOT IN PROSPERITY
BUT ONLY IN HIM
SO STOP POINTING YOUR SELF RIGHTOUS FINGER AT BAPTIST PREACHERS Mr.
Swaggart
STOP TRYING TO GET TO HEAVEN ON YOUR WORKS
HEAVEN ONLY COME TO THOSE WHO ARE IN HIM!!!!

Only by accepting the free gift of salvation can one be washed of sin

I am just echoing the Word of God Almighty. If you don't like it you
need to have the guts to ask The Lord Himself.
It is written "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

Christ is the just one, Christians are forgiven sinners.Forgiveness
follows repentance.Those who have never repented and confessed their
sins to God are not saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says that "we are saved by grace thru faith, not of
works"
2 Corinthians says that " God hath made Christ to be sin for us , who
knwe no sin, so that we, might be made the righteousness of God IN
HIM".
1 Peter 2:24 says "Jesus himself bore our sins in his own body on the
cross so that we who were dead to sins might be made to live unto
righteousness "
Titus 2:14 says that Jesus "Gave himself for us so that he might
redeem us from all sin "
Hebrews 10:10 tells Christians that we were "sanctified (set apart)
thru the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

Re:
Tom,
Posting in this newsgroup is my right, and posting in this newsgroup
will not cause me to lose my salvation.
My salvation is not based on my doing my best.It is not based on
obeying God's laws and commandments, giving gifts to charity, doing my
best, living a good life, good works, living by the golden rule,
tithing, church membership, church attendance, prayers, fasting, water
baptism, communion, confirmation or pentances.
Acts 13:39 in the Bible, God's holy word tells us:
"And by Christ all thta believe are justified from all things, from
which you could not be justified by the law of moses.
Eternal life is not found in what we do or don't do ourselves.We are
saved because a perfect rightousness is given to us.We receive this
when we repent of our sins and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ took
our sins on himself and paid for them by his death on the cross.

A supposed "Christian" who sees his behavior is turning people away from any
real message that might make them turn to Christianity, continues with the same
odd behavior as more and more people block his messages. hmmmm. just baffling.

...and no likelihood of change, hence the necessity of killfiling. Hmmm --

I follow principles of reasoning and use them to distinguish what

and also from what I have learned with trial and error over these last
25 years, which might just be very different from anyone else.
What God wants for me to do might be very different from what God
wants for you to do, that's what makes each and every one of us
different and special.
I am not a trumpet playing clone, never have been since day one, and
after 25 years I will not become one because I am more like an eagle
than just any old bird, I follow the small still voice of the Lord
without any regreats and that voice has told me to play from the heart
