Wolves are goodYes, I thought of a wolf concerning you, my friend. And thank you for the picture of the red fox.
Please pray, my friends, for my profile and "all" my posts were reported as racist. I kid you not. I ask that you please pray me through this. I have been here for many moons and I have yet to come up against such an accusation, which each of you know is truly unfounded and unfair. Please help me get through this, and please help me stand against this unfair accusation. Please pray for me.
Red Fox
Oh thank God!
I'm so glad to have our talking circle back! And I'm so glad that all of us are able to come back safely and peacefully!
YAY!!
I read this in the morning news today and thought I’d share it with you guys:
“Va. tribes fail to gain sovereign nation status”

Things like this really irk me. After all the tribes have gone though—and now this sort of bureaucratic red tape nonsense. *UGH*
The "Native American church"--Peyote religion is something totally different! Here's some websites I suggest!These threads have prompted me to seek to learn more about Native American history, ways, and Native American Christian doctrine.
I was reading in "Whiteman's Gospel," by Craig Stephen Smith, where he talks about his desire to see the "dominant society leadership" allow the Native churches to lead their own people and determine their own plan, procedures and priorities for growth (versus white leadership in Protestant denominations dictating how Native churches are to be run).
This prompted me to wonder what is the doctrinal statement of the Native Christian churches. The denomination that Craig Stephen Smith's Native church is under, is the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church (which I used to belong to).
However, I was wondering what Native American Christians believe, and what things are different from what traditional white Protestant churches believe, as far as doctrine.
I looked up "Native American Church" on Wikipedia, and it talks about the Peyote religion, which reminds me of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, which basically believes that marijuana is a sacrament (the similarity I see is because the Peyote religion believes that peyote is a sacrament). I read elsewhere on Wikipedia that Quanah Parker is the founder of the Native American Church Movement, which follows the Peyote religion, after he reportedly saw a vision of Jesus Christ, while under the influence of peyote.
I'm guessing that's not the doctrine that Craig Stephen Smith's Native church follows.
Anyway, this is what I've been reading about, and I plan to try to learn more.
Just reminding everyone why I'm here. A person in one of these clubs insinuated that I hold wrong motives and I'd like to make it clear that I am in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and I trust in Him only.Stayed and read posts here for awhile tonight.
You know what, Red Fox? Anything worth doing in the Lord's eyes will have some that will try to work against you and hinder you or even destroy your work.
I pray in Jesus name that His will would be done in Red Foxes Talking Circle and in every aspect of her family life and her friendships and ministry.
Lord, bless this woman who has been hurtful To Red Fox and this thread. Teach the hurting person the truth and give her hope for tomorrow.
We love You, Lord, whether we call you Wakan Takan, Lord, God, Father, or Yahweh. We just love You. It is You who we are here for and You who directs us and unifies us, gives us strength and fellowship. We praise You, Great Father, because You make us One and give us joy! There is joy among suffering and sorrow, because of what You did for us on the cross. Oh, thank You Jesus! Amen.
