    Thanx everyone.

    I pretty much spent the day to my self, and had me a nice large pizza with the works, I had been dieting the last week or so and I had been feeling extra tired I guess as a result. Well, the dinner perked me back up.

    Now pushing 5-0

    Perhaps the dead in Christ have already risen???

    Or perhaps Paul was using pop-psychology of the day to comfort the Thessalonians. After all, he ended that speech with "comfort one another with these words".

    I never said that I didn't expect to see any homosexuals in Paradise. I have a good friend from the Corps who went back to "guys", and I am thankful to know that he is born again and will be there at the Gathering Together. I rejoice at that, for he was a fine friend, and most likely would still be so, if I could find out where he is. I never said a thing about salvation for those who choose to either go back to their homo lifestyle, or those who never leave it but accept Jesus Christ as their Lord. So don't ASSume and jump to conclusions as to what I believe. I only stated simply _from the Scriptures_ that this particular activity-which happens to be a LARGE PART OF THIS TOPIC-is wrong in the eyes of the Bible. I pronounced no judgement for the future of those who participate in homosexuality. So, just chill, ok?

    Jonny, number one, I wasn't addressing YOU personally, I was addressing the FORUM!!!! (but there's the old saying, if the shoe fits...) You want me to chill out?? On one condition Jonny, you acknowledge the eventual salvation of EVERY MAN AND WOMAN that has ever lived. If you are of the popular camp that say man choses Jesus by his own free will, GUESS AGAIN!!!! Jesus himself said you didn't choose him, but rather, HE CHOSE YOU! Question, why would Jesus choose YOU and NOT Hitler? I can't say, but I believe that God through Christ will eventually transform Hilter from an evil tryant to a holy saint, just like he did you and I. You disagree with me? Then what assurance do you have of your OWN salvation? Maybe then there are a few things impossible with God after all. The bible says NOTHING is impossible with God!!!! Therefore shall we say the bible is a lie???? Is it not said that if one part of the bible is lie, it's ALL A LIE????? I made a brash comment about the bible this past summer, much to the chagrin of a few people in the forums.

    Like Daryl said, he didn't choose to be gay, he was born that way. Are you saying that only the gays that "accept Jesus" are going to paradise? Jonny, did you know that you too are a Christ rejecter??? IT"S TRUE. Let God remove his GRACE, and that's exactly what we ALL will be, nothing but a crowd of CHRIST REJECTERS! Some freedom of will THAT is!!!!!!!

    Ok, you say homosexuality is wrong? Daryl has the courage to admit to his lifestyle, which is very difficult seeing the astigma that people see gays through. Why don't you tell us what YOUR sins are, Jonny?? Speak for yourself Chuck, you say??? OK, I'll tell you what my particular sin is, gluttony!!!! Also wrong according to the bible. I have a compulsive eating problem, and I have a difficult time dealing with it. I just lust for food you say? Hey, believe me, I wished I could get along on meager amounts of food. With my budget, I could save quite a bit of money that way!!! And I'm paying for it dearly, with being overweight, and it could possibly impair my health. But did I CHOOSE BY MY FREEDOM OF WILL???? NO WAY JOSE!!!! There's this little thing of pain, it's called HUNGER!!!! It's the cause of my choice to eat! Also, I was the only one four children my mother attempted to breast feed. According to my mother, she had nutritionally deficient mother's milk. Therefore she was virtually starving me. Perhaps that's the reason I became a voracious eater, because of the fear of starvation. Believe me, I wished I didn't need food, then I could save money and spend it on something else. Perhaps you don't see gluttony as an abomination the way you see homosexuality, but the bible calls it just as wrong!

    Ok, now that Daryl told us what his sin is, and I told you what my sin is, now it's YOUR TURN, Jonny!!!!! Be a man and tell us what YOUR sin is!!!

    With all due respect, Jonny, bite me. Who are you to judge me? Who are you to say that what I do or do not do, with whomever I choose, in a consenting adult environment, is “twisted?”

    In terms of biblical context, isn’t it just as much of an abomination to touch the skin of a dead pig? Have you ever played football, or watched the NFL on television?

    Are you married? If so, does your wife have periods? If so, do YOU bring two turtledoves or pigeons to the temple during that time?

    :::::::::snipped for brevity:::::::::::

    Im afraid Daryl has a valid point. Why is it that we treat homosexuality as if it were the unforgivable sin, while our own sins are less than venial? If you ask me, we are all equally guilty, every damn one of us! If we are quick to condemn Daryl for what he is, then we better be prepared to face our own condemnations.

    Like Jesus said, "he who is without sin....". As far as I'm concerned, Daryl will be in paradise along with the rest of us, and if you guys don't like it, too damn bad!!!! Get over it!!!!!

    I received an e-mail from my bank

    in Computer Questions

    Posted

    I have a firewall from Norton Internet Security which is pretty good.

    Also I never give out my credit card number to any merchant unless it is encrypted. You can tell if the merchant has an encrypted webpage when you see a padlock icon at the bottom of your web browser (at least this is the case for Internet Explorer). Also encrypted website addresses start with "https" rather than just plain "http".

    I had an email apparently from Verizon, which is my DSL internet provider, saying that I should respond with my personal information or my account would be cancelled. I forwarded that to the spam department of Verizon, who confirmed that it was a phish attempt. One word of advice, your internet provider will NEVER contact you via e-mail or any other means, requesting personal information. If it appears that they have, report it to your provider at once, usually to the department that enforces terms of service or who handles spam reports. Such people can not only be prosecuted for fraud, but can also face charges of trade-mark infringement if they pretend to be a representative of a certain company.

    I think it takes a lot of balls for someone to do something stupid as posing as a representative of a legitimate company just to get personal information for criminal purposes. Whenever you do something like phish somenone, your isp number is recorded, regargless of whether its static or changable, and if the person who is the potential victim turns you in, you can be traced rather quickly. It is possible they could be using an anonymous channel however, so this is only a presumption.

    Forever?

    in Doctrinal: Exploring the Bible

    How long is Elizabeth II going to be The Queen of England? Answer: Forever!

    Of course Queen Elizabeth will eventually step down off the throne, whether by voluntary abdication or her death.

    Same with Pope John Paul II. How long is he going to be the pope? Again, FOREVER! Of course his reign as pope ENDS upon his death.

    Forever doesn't always mean without absolute end as "eternity" apparently does.

    When a man and woman get married, they commit themselves to each other. How long? FOREVER!!!!

    But the bonds of matrimony end when one of the spouses dies. So forever doesn't mean for all eternity.

    "Forever" is often translated from the Greek word "aion", which means "age". Age is not without end, but rather a period of time that has its limits, maybe the limits are not known, but that doesn't mean there are none.

    What are you referring to? That Peter said to Jesus that he should not have to be crucified? It's in the scriptures.

    Furthermore, you don't have to take my word for it. Do your own research if you have doubts about my conclusions. icon_smile.gif:)-->

    I think Jesus was talking to Satan, because Jesus knew Satan was interfering with Peter.

    Nope, he was talking to Peter icon_smile.gif:)--> He was responding to something Peter said about Jesus not deserving to be crucified. Jesus told Peter that he savored the things of this world. He also told Peter that He had prayed for him because Satan wanted to sift him out like wheat. The word "Satan" incidently isn't always a proper noun, it can also be a common noun. Jesus wasn't calling Peter "The Satan", but rather he was calling Peter "a satan". He also referred to Judas as "a devil", but not "The Devil".

    You're right to think that Satan was interferring with Peter though, but Jesus WAS addressing Peter.

    Evidently you overlooked what Jesus said, that Satan was a MURDERER from the very beginning. Satan was NEVER Lucifer, Satan was ALWAYS Satan.

    There is nothing in the Bible that supports a Lucifer became Satan theory. In fact, when all the names of Satan are mentioned in Revelation, there is NOT ONE mention of his ever being Lucifer. He's called The Dragon and The Serpent and The Devil, but NEVER is Satan ever referred to as Lucifer.

    "Lucifer" means "light bearer". Satan on the other hand has NO LIGHT in him whatsoever, which is why he is the prince of darkness.

    Furthermore it is written that Satan TRANSFORMS himself into an angel of light. If Satan were actually Lucifer, then there would be NO NEED for such a transformation, for he would already be an angel of light.

    It is quite possible that Lucifer became a satan, but he didn't become The Satan. Incidenltly it's interesting to note that Jesus called Peter Satan (right after He called him "the rock", can't He make up His mind??? LOL!!! icon_biggrin.gif:D--> ). Are we to suppose that Peter is the fallen angel Lucifer??????

    Hey, I MYSELF am Satan!!!!! Or that's what Islamic extremists consider me because of my being American icon_biggrin.gif:D-->

    Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. Well, the proceedure went very well, but it was determined that I needed a pacemaker after all, so I was admitted to the hospital that morning. I was in surgery Wednesday, and everything went rather well. I just got discharged from the hospital an hour ago, and right now I can only type with one hand since I cannot use my other hand for a few days, so bear with me if I take my time in chat. So see ya all there. icon_smile.gif:)-->
