This is very simple since it is the Lord's Prayer. Matthew 6:5-13 (5) "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. (6) But when...

JL, she is right, it really is nothing. You are not betraying God by praying to him. Jesus himself did not tell the Jews to pray to him, but to God, just as Jesus did. The more I read the words of Jesus, the more I see his mission was to try and take legalism out of the faith. He was...

The book I mentioned I am reading now is dated the year 2000. It also mentions quite a few papers written by those working on the fragments that weren't published at the time of his writing, giving us some insight into those also. It also mentions another discovery in 1996 of more scrolls that I...

Thanks for the book name. I will try and get it through ILL. Do you happen to know the Publishing date? As far as what you said about always searching for the truth, that actually applies to me too. The skeptisism is more because I can't feel right quoting a source (as the link posted...

TheDoc. That's OK, I wasn't trying to prove anything either. That was the reason I asked you where you got your information because everything I had seen said to the contrary. But I do have to ask you why you place so much faith in this person? He quotes not one reference source, and it appears...

That would basically make Moses, the guy who wrote most of the first five books of our bible, as a teacher of the "doctrine of demons". Genesis 6:1-2 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were...

Doc: http://www.heaven.net.nz/writings/enoch.htm <snip> Then with the discovery of cave 4 of the Dead Sea Scrolls, seven fragmentary copies of the Aramaic text were discovered. <snip> Also: http://www.breadofangels.com/7qenoch/index.html (click on the link that says 'prologue')...

Pick up the book The Grace Awakening by Charles Swindoll. It should help you quite a bit.

The hell of eternal punishment is what I read of in every bible, and it is what I hear of at every church service I attend. And if you were to ask most christians to describe hell, they would paint the same picture. Well I do find this insulting since it is basically stating that if I don't...

I'm not sure if what I am doing here qualifies. These are published christian poems by other authors, not creations of my own. I HAVE had a poem published, but it isn't something I do often. I just put this thread to give inspiration and enjoyment to all who want to come and read, or share their...

I am not sure why you are trying to be a bit hostile towards my answer. You very well may have deduced what MY answer would be, but that has no bearing at all on the discussion. It's only use is for braggado. I won't indulge in that. But the second part is not true. That is the beliefs in...

I honestly can't stop you from disagreeing. In fact, it's not my place. This is in the bible. The acceptance of Christ and the true repentance are what is needed to enter Heaven. Paul was not better than Bin Laden, yet his place in heaven is assured. We are all equally guilty according to the...

The books name is Divine Inspiration, the Life of Jesus in World Poetry It is a collection of poems, all translated into English. There are some that I really don't understand the point, but it may be because of the loss in translation. Here's another. A Christmas Carol by Samuel Taylor...

I would like to have a section just for religious poems, so if an administrator sees this and deems it worthy, I would appreciate it. I get most material I read from the library. I would love to keep some for posterity and for all to enjoy, but since I have to return the books, I would love to...

I think there is a point that was left out of your teaching. Some of us were taught that sex was the original sin. Others would say (and be more online from what is in Genesis) that the original sin was disobeying. Since to disobey the laws of morality is wrong (in the government sense, it is...

camaro540 said: As I said, that does NOT state that the serpent in the garden of Eden was satan. The book of Genesis is very clear in it's description of what God did to the "serpent" for eternity. We have snakes, which is our idea of the "serpent" thanks to the description OF Genesis...

I know you were. What I was saying wasn't a fragment, but the full book of Enoch the way it was originally written. That fragment isn't enough for us to make the full book out of, and the early church leaders were very forcefully in their denunciation of the book and it's contents

I don't think it is the full text of the book of Enoch. The original one was not only banned, but also burned. No archeologist has found an ancient copy of the text. The one we see by that name now is supposed to be a forgery. The Sheperd of Hermes is another place where they got the angel...

I am guessing that this is in responce to my post. If not, then I appologize. Let me try and answer what you have said in order. I have heard that theory, most recently in a set of books called Converstions With God in which the writer is supposedly channeling for God and these are the...
