We can only know the truth, when we have the Holy Spirit of Truth. There is a difference between the Holy Spirit coming upon people and being Filled with the Holy Spirit.

[Replying to "A righteous person would survive a head-on car wreck?"] "A righteous man would have angels watching over him. He would have protection. He would remain intact. Of course the question is, just how many people are actually righteous before God. "

*** Armchair Physician of the Month *** "Really, cancer is one of the more easy things to be healed of or at least get it into remission. Cancer represents sin in the way it eats away at the body. Jesus came, so we can be delivered, healed and set free from our sin. So also, we can be healed and set free from cancer."

*** "Most Edumacated Creationist" Trophy ***
"Why do you doubt that Eden ever existed and why do you need more than scriptual evidence? We are dealing with Moses here, who has more than proven himself to be reliable as a historian. If you want to live off in your own little fantasy world, your welcome to do that. But if you want to live in the real world, then there are things that people accept that live in the real world."

"Convince you [Genesis is history]? There is a little bit of a problem with that, sense people lived to be 1000 year back then and that maybe a little bit of a stretch for you to believe."

"I am just stating the facts. The Bible is absolute truth. There is some truth in Science and I beleive we can use the Bible to determine what can be considered reliable and what areas of science should be disregarded. The Bible sets the standard that science can only hope to live up to."

"
Sin & Sickness... There is a passage in the Bible, that ever sense I first read it, I have considered it to be a VERY important passage in terms of WHY people get sick. It can be found in 1 Corinthians 11:23-34... For this reason MANY are weak and sick among you, and MANY sleep... The reason this scripture caught my attention is the word MANY... Clearly we are told that many here refers to more than half the people. It refers to the majority of people and not the minority.
Over the last 20 years, I have talked to quite a few pastors about this passage... In the most simple of terms, this passage means that we are to be delivered from Sin."

"It has to do with why I have a problem with doctors. The answer being, because they do not know or understand the true problem or cause of sickness and disease. Of course this is only a beginning, a start. There is a lot more to it than this. Truth sets people free. When you preach and teach the truth, you can expect to see miracles, signs, wonders, healing and deliverance."

"No one is saying that people should not go to doctors or seek medical treatment. That is not the issue. It is sad that you do not understand the most simple and basic of christian teaching. I am amazed that I run into doctors and Phd's that do not even have a third grade level of understanding of the Bible."

[Replying to 'So which diseases does sin cause?'] "That would be part two, and we would need to go back into the teaching of Moses. But one thing that would be covered by Moses, is any disease that could be found in Egypt at that time.
Ex 15:26... 'If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God... I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.' My sister told me about a book written by a medical doctor called something like: 'none of these diseases'. He talks about Moses and a Bible approach to staying healthy."

"Actually, that was one of the most annointed Bible studies that I have done sense a teaching I did at Bible college. I prayed for two or three hours before I put that together. If more people understood what Paul was saying in that passage, there would be a lot less sickess for doctors to have to deal with. They tell me that One Drop of the Divine Blood of Jesus is all that it would take to cure all of the sickness in this world."

[Replying to 'So viruses and bacteria don't cause sickness?'] "Not if they can not find a host to cause sickness in. Now I have a question. Why do doctors and nurses seldom get sick, even though they are around sick people all day?"

"There are a few studies that come to mind. One had to do with high blood preassure. There was no preferance for Christians over other religions, but in general, they more someone attended church, the more they read their Bible and prayed, the lower their blood preasure was... But the results [of another study] showed that selfish people have more health problems and they die sooner than people who do what they can to help others.
In general the studies have found that calling yourself a christian does not seem to make any difference. But doing things that would be considered christian, does seem to make a difference."
