    Can God teach us through health?

    Misposted somehow on a different thread. Meant to post this here. To answer the question from my view, heath is relative. I have led a rather eventful life. God has always held me in the palm of His hand and protected me from serious harm. I resemble the Tool Man in that the nurses in the...

    If you think we think God is bad, how do you justify this …

    Riverpastor, I owe you an apology. I didn't intend to go off on the sickness tangent, but I did. At least I was ineffective in it. To answer your question from my view, heath is relative. I have led a rather eventful life. God has always held me in the palm of His hand and protected me from...

    If you think we think God is bad, how do you justify this …

    Well, Jim, your response makes it clear what you believe. But, I don't think the closing comments has anything to do with my question. There is no doubt that God does not need our approval or our defense. But, by this thought process, there is no need to even have a forum for discussion...

    If you think we think God is bad, how do you justify this …

    I realize ya'll wrangle this subject quite a bit, even to the point you offend each other regularly. But I am not clear whether the discussions differentiate between God specifically causing sickness, God removing His hand from someone, and man simply experiencing and living in a world that...

    Steve Irwin's Death--I feel like a family friend has died

    We all have the opportunity to do what we believe we are destined to do while we are on earth. Some of us see it clearly and choose not to follow it; some of us don't see it and look for it all our life; and some, a very small few see it clearly and chase after it with all our heart. I...

    What's good for the goose?

    Simple question but I've been warned that this is probably a taboo one. It seems that any and all beliefs and doctrine are fair game for good honest questions, discussion and debate except those of the Catholic Church. Maybe it's my imagination, but I've don't recall seeing a thread shut...

    What your avatar speaks?

    Flaglady, yours speaks as does mine. I believe God has given us pets to help us to begin to understand what undconditional love is. If only we could love and forgive like a pet does.

    Vatican condemns Israel for attacks on Lebanon

    Sorry for the length but this may take a minute. God has given us messages that to us are hard to understand. The old testament is full of God fully and clearly telling the world that the people of Israel were His chosen people and in turn giving the promised land to those same people. When...

    Who wrote the bible?

    Couple of things, first as someone brought up in a VERY strict and conservative Lutheran environment, they do not have a separate bible. They do have their catechism and separate doctrine, but not a different bible. We used the KJV but acknowledged others as God's word. Just felt the KJV came...

    Should Christians pray for animals?

    I believe all creation recognizes God, not saying that animals have souls just saying they can recognize the spiritual realm more easily than we can. Regardless, they are all His creation, and He cares for them. I have seen a spirit of fear cast out of a dog with dramatic results, a...

    Hold your tongue

    I have been told by folks with more experience than me that you are always in control and will never say or do anything in the Spirit that you don't want to do. To me that sounds an awful lot like what they say about hypnotism. So, anyway, there are times I just feel like I'm about to pop if...

    Husband out Hunting...What's a wife to do?

    ;) Unfortunately, she lives with her headphones on listening to whom or whatever and typing on the CF at the same time, So she wouldn't find it a punishment, she'd just transcribe the whole thing to the forum so everyone else would be enlightened (punished?). :yawn:
