From Glory to Glory said:Yes, I will go to the dentist...
She was the one who told me to get the ugly silver crown since it was at the back of my mouth and no one would see it. I was concerned about that and wanted her to put on a porcelain one, but she said that would be a waste of money. I've always thought that silver tooth was ugly--now it's my prettiest one!
The Lord is my banner said:Dear Pam, I said this before and I want to make sure it is heard here. Think what you like about this, just an idea, but I feel it needs repeating:
A dentist is a human being - they too can be wrong, they can be forgetful, they can make mistakes!
She may be wrong about what she placed in your mouth, she may remember it wrong, or she may have recorded it wrong, or her assistant or secretary may have recorded it wrong.
It is possible, yes?
Pam - as quoted above - you considered this crown to be ugly - thus showing you had looked at it carefully and judged it to be so at some point:
You know what was in your own mouth, and you know what is there now.
Your dentist may be wrong, that's all I am saying.
Why assume that it is YOUR mistake? It's your mouth, your tooth, your God.
I won't argue this point any further, but I really wanted to be sure you'd seen and understood what I said in my other post, just in case you needed encouragement to reconsider.
We so easily trust medical people with our lives, it's hardly surprising we can begin to think them infallible. They're not, believe me - I worked in the health service, I saw mistakes and I made mistakes.
I pray you receive the truth and find peace over this whole incident through the witness of the Holy Spirit, whichever way that turns out to be.
God bless you sister, love Sue
JillyMac said:Now, I want you to listen to this carefully, because it is revolutionary. Any spirit that focuses on the Holy Spirit and glorifies the Holy Spirit is not the Holy Spirit. It is contrary to His whole nature and purpose. Once you have grasped that, it will open your eyes to many things which are going on in the church that are otherwise difficult to understand.
For example, we have a very beautiful chorus that we sing about the Father, the Son and the Spirit. The first verse says to the Father, "Glorify Thy name in all the earth." The second verse says to Jesus the Son, "Glorify Thy name in all the earth." The third verse says to the Spirit, "Glorify Thy name in all the earth." I love to sing the first two verses, but I decline to sing the third verse, because I do not believe it is scriptural. The Holy Spirit never does glorify His own name. His purpose is to glorify the One who sent Him.
Dondi said:I liked what you wrote on the Holy Spirit. Many things that I hadn't considered before (in fact, I saved your post on my computer, I hope you don't mind). One thing that struck me was the following quote:
Do you know why the Holy Spirit doesn't glorify himself? Because He lives inside us. If we boast in the Holy Spirit, then it is almost like boasting in ourselves. "Oh, look what the Holy Spirit did through me!" And it brings the focus inward to ourselves rather than upward to God. We shoudl appreciate the fact that He allows us to partake of His Divine Nature, but if we are not careful, we could make the same mistake as Adam and Eve--"Ye are gods". Only God should get the glory. You know what I mean?
riverpastor said:From G to G stated earlier that it was her dentist who told her just to get the silver crown. Why would she change this just prior to the procedure and put in the gold crown???
Christina M said:I question this, too, Jay. Glory specifically said the dentist was going to put in one of the "ugly silver" ones.... why now is the dentist saying it was gold??
Faith was built up when we didn't have an explanation. Faith fell when the OP heard that it was not a miracle. The scientific explanation was not for the train of thought you're used to hearing about... it was to help see why she thought it was silver before she saw it as gold.sreno7 said:Um could we not make this a thread about mercury coming out of fillings?
I like the post about the little girl who went forward in the service because her family couldn't afford dental work. That makes sense, I can see God doing that.
From Glory to Glory said:Oh, my Lord, God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!
How very real my God is to me!!!!! I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TONIGHT!!!
I attended a healing/revival meeting tonight, put on by Jeff Jansen, of Global Fire Ministries, and the Lord gave many people gold teeth!!! I had been praying and fasting all week for the Lord to show Himself big and make Himself soooo real to me !!! And guess what? I got one, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It used to be a silver/gray crown, but God turned it to gold!!!!!! It's my last tooth on the upper left side. And, the tooth next to it, which is also a crown, but it is made out of porcelain, has a ring of metal around the base of it and that turned to gold, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND, my best friend, who attended with me, got one too!!! At the EXACT same location! It's the same tooth! And her's used to be a silver crown, too!!!!!
Many people got gold teeth tonight and NO ONE can tell me that it wasn't real because I saw it with my own eyes....one lady first noticed that God turned 3 of hers gold on the top and I looked and saw them. A few minutes later, two of hers on the bottom had turned and I saw them. A few minutes later, 8 had turned gold and I saw them all--before and after!!!!
God is a miracle-working God, my friend!!!!!!!!!! Be encouraged, because He is soooooo good!!!! His glory is SO real!!!
Jesus is Lord!!
UncleRicky said:So, if I understand this correctly, God performed a healing miracle, but couldn't muster a real tooth, so He settled for another false tooth?
Hmmm

From Glory to Glory said:Hello,
I hope you were able to read on and see that I contacted my dentist and, according to her, my crown had been gold all along. I repented to the forum for not contacting my dentist before posting here.
Thanks!
