  1. The best things from God to His people, and the way the devil robs from God's people is to get some nut to move in on that territory and exploit it out of context, twist it from the center of truth, and turn people off by it. That which has been rich for God's people has always been twisted and abused by the simple minded and the devious minded so it is almost a lost truth of scripture even to those who live God's way. All the promises of God - all His laws and His principles, are text in God's Word. The law of scriptural exegesis is: Text without context is error. God does not make His promises, His laws and His principles in a vacuum. The only people who can claim those promises are those who give hilariously. If you are one of those people, then you can leave all the rest (the nut cases) behind and talk about your blessing. The reason some people don't have God's unmerited favor abounding toward them is because they have not learned how to become a hilarious giver. FEAR certainly does that - and that is what I believe happened to that woman and her boy in that PFAL story. The only place (and there is no other place) in the Word of God where it talks about God abounding toward you so that you have all sufficiency in all things is in 2 Corinthians 9:8. That verse is the result of those who have applied the previous verses, the verses that pertaining to hilarious giving. Now the simple minded and devous minded typically think of hilarious giving only in terms of $$$, but I am not talking about $$$. That's right. You don't need $$$ to be a hilarious giver. Even the historic Christian Church has FEAR dealing with this subject, and it is the FEAR of being characterized with all the nuts. Jesus Christ commended the widow above all, and she only had 2 mites and she gave them both there in Mark 12:42. She gave it all. Most of the nut cases out there use this verse of scripture to extract more $$$ from you, as the only reason they give is due to need. But the verses in 2 Corinthians that deal with hilarious giving tells us we don't give grudgingly (that's from grief) nor out of neccesity (that's out of need). Jesus didn't commend the woman because of the amount of $ she gave. Jesus was sitting over against the treasury, as the previous verse says, and he beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and it says many that were rich cast in much. That right. Jesus saw everything that was going on and he didn't commend those who had the big $$$ - those who were rich and who cast much into the treasury. The only one Jesus commended was the woman who threw in 2 mites. Unfortunately that is not how the Christian church operates or commends people today. The principle is, she gave it all. But what about the case of the widow who had nothing but 1 meal left? She only gave 1/3 of it to the man of God. What's the end of the story in the Word of God in that case? Did she end up poorer or richer because she only gave 1/3 of her meal instead of the entire amount? That is why I am not suggesting people should throw in everything that they have and that everybody has to give everything that they have to their church - just because the church has all these needs to be fulfilled. What I am saying is - be a hilarious giver - even with very little - and God is able to make all grace abound toward you. So where does that leave most of the beggars of the Church world today then? The Word of God says you're not to give from grief; because your emotions have been dug by tearjerking testimonies from evangelists who could mop floors without a waterbucket - by their instant ability to turn it on. It's that motivation out of neccessity because of a need. The only reason many do give is because of a need; that is, we need this building, we need this extension. We need to get these bibles out, etc., etc., etc. or whatever the need happens to be. So what's left then if we can't raise $$$ with tears or a need - just what's left? The only thing left is the Holy Spirit working in you, to reproduce His nature which gives without reason. That's idealisitc. That's right, and the only problem is God sees it so seldom. The bible doesn't say God loves only those who don't have any fear at all. It doesn't say he only loves those who are tounge talkers or those who keep on breathing for His namesake - those who want to put on a show. Nope, the only thing God loves is a hilarious giver. There are wonderful things that happen to those who live and give God's way. That's why many times we have to rescue the "baby from the bathwater" those who are living in FEAR. It's fear that keeps them from becoming a hilarious giver and fear that keeps you from becoming one - fear of lack due to need. People try all the time to claim God's promises without hilarious giving so the result is they can only act out of fear! Some people will stay confused all their life about it and will continue to wonder why they can't get any correction or any results from their giving. Are you still confused? Then I suggest you find some little "2 mite" promise you can act upon to get God's spirit working in you and cultivate it. When you feel the urge to give, then give hilariously about it. All of a sudden your darkness, God promises, will become light. It is the hilarious giver that gets the light and finds God's promises. I agree with you sssooooooooooo much, always have. I love to give and I teach my kids that to, they have seen miracles in this single moms life from given, also I was raised in a strick Church of God and I only learned of Gods punishment if you did wrong. only from the PFAL class did I learn that God is a Good God and will answer our prayers and forgive us. And I will keep your post. I think it deserves to be read again. Thank you.
  2. DVD, Yes. Some of the teachings are really great. I really don't think we actually have the "God Breathed Word" with all the translations, but the PFAL gives us a good insight of it. Even if some of the information came from someone else, it is good information. I really think it is selfish of someone who wants to limit these teaching. A true Christian would want everyone to hear these, God was not selfish about keeping his word from us. Am I right or wrong? Probably wrong. And how do I get intouch with Paw? pray as if was up to God and work as if it is up to you and you will succeed.
  3. I am not in twi, I know there are people out there who just want to see the PFAL class for the 1st time to see for themselves. And what is a better place to post the class? EVERYONE in and out reads this. I know the fear in the woman's heart didn't get her son killed, she should have kept a closer eye on him since he didn't have a dozen brothers and sisters to help watch. But there is some good to the class. I liked the class. I bailed out early, but remembered the class. I promise I won't brainwash anyone, just have the class and form your own opinion and you can go home. Pray as if it is all up to God and Work like it is all up to you and you will succeed.
  4. I am going to hold a PFAL class in my home. Anyone interested let me know. I live in Daytona Bch. Fl. I know there are a few people who would like to take the class who have never taken it. Date it open still, just seeing if there is an interest. It is a good class.
  5. Philippians 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17- But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. 18- What then? Notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, will rejoice. What is Paul saying here? Is he saying that as long as Christ is preached, that - that we should should rejoice? Are we over analyzing this, should we just Preach Christ and then every thing else should fall into place? If the person is sincere or not, but he is teaching Christ should we be satisfied with that? " I hope next time when we meet, we won't be fighting each other. Instead we will be drinking tea together." -Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx
  6. I understand you so much. To me the class is a way to get the word out to people who don't know the word. My brain is hardly ever in neutral. I hate to say this, but I left twi early because I knew something wasn't right to begin with in the way it was being ran. I liked the drs teachings. But everyone put him up on a pedestal and there was something weird to me about that. I was not going to be in any group that I had to separate myself from my family because they didn't believe like I did," Jevoah Witness" came to mind. But I did understand the Bible more, thank you for the heads up and I will bring out my concordance. And I also have all the written scripts which will help. And see to me if there was 4 with Jesus on the cross or if Adam and Eve had a belly button or not is a personal belief, and I don't think it will get you in or keep you out of Heaven. Thank you for your kind words. I just want to be more like my friends in Tenn. I want to be able to have a home fellowship and teach the word. And the PFAL class is a start. I also read alot in the www.truthortradition.com site. I have a wonderful friend who believes more strongly than I do about this. I hope he won't ever be mad at me.
  7. I am so sorry you feel that way. Even the law of giving is evident in the secular world. I am sorry you had to sit under a dictatorship, as I see it, it was short of being a cult. I guess I was lucky and took the good and ran with it, although I wish I had ran harder. I personally know the power of speaking in tongues and I knew about that before the PFAL class when I knew nothing of twi. We live in a spiritual realm and there are laws we should live by, and I prefer to take Gods way. You can change lives with alot of the knowledge in the class. Look at the people that follow Benny Hinn (I spell that right?) that man will really answer to God, for ripping people off. so gotta go just my thoughts, thank you for listening.
  8. I have been reading everyone's response to my class. I am not saying that this class is THE ONLY TRUTH, but this class is a kick start to knowing the Bible, especially for those who have never studied the Bible. God is so good and I don't care if 4 were on the cross with Jesus or if Adam and Eve had a belly button or not et. Those are personal beliefs, I don't think will get you in or out of Heaven. Have none of you that oppose this class ever had anything good happen to them after they took this class, has not some of this knowledge helped them in any way. I never agreed with a lot of actions that I saw 30 years ago that is one reason why I never stayed in, BUT the scriptures that I learned in the PFAL class always stuck with me. And I want to give others the opportunity to hear what I did. There has to be a lot of hurt and I pray God will give each one the peace to get over it. ( I know I am going to get slammed now) I won't charge for this class and maybe I can help someone else get a new lease on life. I have gotten alot of good response to this class which made me smile.

  9. Really? I have never ever thought about it before. Guess I slept through that part of class. But think about it, if God made Adam (he did), there would be no need for a belly button (this is silly to be thinking about) maybe cain and abel had the first belly buttons? I work in a Day Spa so tomorrow I will bring this up and it will be intresting to hear the results there.
  10. Come to my class it will be free.........
  11. hi.....sorry I didn't get this posted sooner. I have friends in TN who still teach and have home fellowships and they just were in clearwater. I got to meet them here in daytona, when they made a special trip for us to meet. Where on the west coast do you live. my email is cookieaffair@aol.com
  12. Sorry to hear that. I work a full time job and am a cookie designer. I have a good life, I also have attended alot of "churches" and have never had the teachings or studies that I learned in PFAL class. It hurts to know such a good thing went bad. But when I ran into a twi member at in 74 i prayed that God would help me. I had such a bad life and I knew there was a God and prayed that he would show me how to get out of my situtation. And along came a girl named Candy in Montgomery Al, it took her 10 trys to get me to a class but when I did, I knew that it was from God (you may not believe that) and I was shown that there was Power in the word of God. I grew up penacostal and all I ever heard was your headed to hell. I am so sorry for the hurt everyone recieved. I am hoping to change a life the way mine was changed. my classes will never hear about TWI if I can help it. only the teachings.
  13. No I don't know chris greer. I received my class from the belizean biblical research center.
  14. Hello.......I am new here. But I just recieved the PFAL class on dvd and I am going to hold a class here in my home Daytona Florida. The people who attend will be new and will not know anything about twi, all they will get is a real Bible study. I am excitied about this. I took the class in 74 and moved away and was blessed to meet someone a few months ago who could get me the class. Because I have never forgotten the studies. I guess I am lucky I didn't go through what you all did. And I don't know anyone in twi now. I just want people to hear what I heard back then.
