  1. Sure dancing people make up stuff to think about all the time! go for it. hahahaha without a standard or real work and study it is just a open world for anything goes! have fun with that!!! but for me I take the study honestly and seriously with prayer and HOLY Spirit within that is alive and real for every individual that believes in its comfort and wisdom. clearly the bible speaks a great deal of instruction and teachers and learning.. it isnt a hit or miss thing it is doctrine of the bible as moved by the HOLY Spirit within each person that enables us to grow in the knowledge of who the LOrd is in our life. to make stuff up cause you think it might be without any standard is just a partyof byob . have fun with that!
  2. I do not feel that way. We can reconcile other to Jesus Christ we can teach and learn what the bible says. Bramble we can help others understand the choices and the reality of the choices. God wants all to be saved Gods wants all to be saved God wants all to be saved!!!!! Jesus Christ Died so we can have the choice to live forever or NOT! it is a choice. We do NOT fight flesh and blood!!! do ya need another scripture here ? Gods enemy is NEVER PEOPLE !!! His enemy is satan. people are HIs creation his love. God is love. pure love so much He gave His ONLY begotten Son for US. that is some kind of love bramble . and the born again are concerned for one another and mankind as God is also we are commanded to LOVE by Jesus christ LOVE one another, as HE loves us. WE can reconcile people you call them "unbelievers" back to what God says is truth. and that truth is writen in detail concerning what the choice is and will be. if you want to say the bible is worthless, than clearly your on a different page Bramble.
  3. ok bible doctrine I assumed you didnt need that spelled out haha Jesus Died for all , but is a individual CHOICE to accept Him as a Saviour or not. it is a choice bramble. My God does not dictate what His creation will chose in life or death. people chose to make Jesus Lord or not. that is the bible story Bramble. God does NOT write about fear as a motive , He uses the hope of the return of Jesus Christ as a motivator. to have a choice we need the options of what the choices will be! and He does give them to us as well . the bible records of a willinginess of God to have All be saved and the HOPE of the KINGDOM being a wonderful place without the ills and errors we live within today. God is willing to give it to you, are YOU willing to accept the call of His glory? that is the question. it isNOT fear motivation it is pure love, it is pure rescue ! and it is not forced on you or slapped into you with fear it is simply a beautiful choice, for all of mankind.
  4. Again the book the christian hope by John S metioned above will cover this ideal of why we bother being good or bad or making good choices after we are born again. Jesus will decide who will get rewards and PUNISHMENTS yes some will be dammed that have holy spirit for the works they have done on earth!!! God knows every hair on our head he remembers us greatly . and it DOES MATTER how we live today!!!!! so any ways. KIT i love you you write great and never offend anyone and I would like to answer you about "my world" I about give up hope my walk with the LORD has not been a easy trek by any means. sometimes I really feel it isnt worth it because all around me I run into trouble and strife and people who hate and well life! then one day I read we cant change other people we can only change our own self. how a nice little read that seems to be! it took probably twenty years of my life to hear it. WE can not change anyone eles how the feel how they react how they live how they chose, we can only change our own self. by changing my self I can change the world. one change from me forces change in another! The world is full of negative situations and sadness and horrid circumstance , I can allow it to make me in the same boat or recognize the pain and find a way to be in it without it hurting me. How ? by knowing how much God loves me. Now when I feel really angry and I do get angry I have problems I do with folks (not on grease spot) because i want them to believe different or do different. I recognize I need to be happy I need to be peaceful I need to be able to give and serve, for the LORD for them to ever want it different for their own life. So i take care of my own life, I pray I read scripture I remember I am NOT IN CONTROL of all that happens on this earth. when i feel hurt or angry, i look within not without... not to Blame or shame me, I do know God loves me! I look at why this is bothering, why am I feeling jealous why am I hurt why do I want to bring every single bad choice that jerk ever ever made and PROVE he/she is wrong? because no matter how much I feel it isnt going to change him/her or what they feel or did to me . so I do a deep check up of what IM truly thinking and why. withut shame knowing God loves me and is indeed the one who will help me. if im impatient at the check out and I want to go I look around and see the people and how pretty they are I remember it is a job this person is doing for me , and IM thankful. the other day the lady could not get her act together it was 30 minutes with her and two others trying to "get it" and she was snippy and rude .. I was losing it and i kept trying to tell anyone who came behind me to go to another line to help them move on in the day. I almost lost it but instead of lashing out I just turned around my back to her while she mused in ignorance for another 5 minutes... then I said ACCEPT the things you can not change, so I did and this young man came up to me and took me far far away from their and we got it resolved!!!! so at my age i have seen enough pain for mankind I have seen enough misery I have seen enough of what we can do to hurt one another and I want out of it all. I lay it down for the LORD to take care of one day once and for all. It just isnt my fight anymore because frankly I do not want to be guilty of hurting another in any way. It does tend to come back around at ya ! hello?? any witness? the Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change!!!!!! the courage to change the things I can. and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhola Niebuhr by accepting the fact it is what it is I have found peace and that peace has allowed me the time to be able to think about what IM doing to "know the difference". and when I need the same grace I pray some one Named Jesus Christ is there willing and ready to help me out and He has never ever failed me. I owe HIM, and the only way I can pay it forward is by trying without giving up to be there for some one eles! try peace because nothing eles really matters does it?
  5. It is written that there will be people in the millenimun(1000 years ) that will not Know Christ. yes "unbelievers ". they live and DIE while in the kingdom they will have babies and be all what mankind is today. they will be raised immortal at the return of Christ and have to chose to accept Jesus as LORD OR NOT at the judgement or even while on the third earth with us. the story of the end times and our furture life everlasting is very very detailed and leaves no stone unturned , you sound interested it is a beautiful HOPE for all of mankind and truly what God wants for His children. check out what John W. Schoenheit has written in His book titled "the Christian HOPE" The anchor of the soul. it will answer all your querys and has the scripture as the standard of reference completly and wonderfully.
  6. Dancing your right I hold no judgement or punishment but I happen to love the one who does . Vengence belongs to the LORD. punishment is melted out by the same. It is a sad day indeed when the Lord commands us to love one another and we think we want HIS job to give out the reward for loving him and the punishments . I know I do not. been going on since the beginning of time tho.. surely YOU will not die. is what the deception was about for the first adam and what it is all about today. It causes the fall of man from the very grace of God. Because Jesus did die for one and all. If Im wrong and the third heaven and earth doesnt happen for me then i will turn into dust and stay there . but if Im right I have a life ever lasting with a loving wonderful nation of people and a KINg of all KIngs . I will see and know the justice of a God almighty who reigns forever. and those who refuse to believe will burn to ash. The I think theory make for grand entertainment and helps the ignorant or rebellious feel ok and safe. Who can out wit and out think the creator of all? Stayed to long i gave some scripture concerning the end times Yet consider the enitre bible is writen about the KINGdom and how to get there or not. it is work to study and know what doctrine says. and those who think doctrine is wrong well then welcome to yet another tv talk show on the internet with what ever will work best for you, plenty of opinions and religous chants to chose from. Abigail How does one "prove" a relationship"? It is a calling from a most High God to serve His people . It is the Holy Spirit that teaches us truth from error , Jesus says we need no other teacher.
  7. actualy it is love and justice to the ultimate. you can disagree, but it doesnt change what scripture says about dying and NOT going to the third heaven or earth. No one is EVER promised to go to "heaven, heaven is above the earth, the kingdom of the LORD Jesus Christ the promised HOPE for life eternal is on earth. not heaven. we can all chat abut what you can think what we want or what we think is better for everyone. YET where is the standard? If you want DOCTRINE.. BOTTTOM line is it is written exactly what will happen to un believers and those who refuse to accept Jesus as LORD and KING> They will burn to ashes.
  8. i looked at the world time zone and all the cities of africa are suppose to be listed, but not this one . it says it is a pan I wonder what city is near it. yeah it has been dark there since early today this afternoon. yeah cool man i hope this isnt a hoax and im an idiot for watching a pond in georgia or something .
  9. 2 Thessalonians 1,9 gehenna (valley of Hinnom in hebrew) , the lake of fire in revelation like the garbage jesus speaks of is to be burned up. Ezekiel 28:18 ..satan to ashes..forever and ever is unto the ages of ages. revelation 20, vs 6,14 the second death. john 5 28,29 revelation 20 15 2 peter 3,10 mattew 3;12 malaci 4:1 tartaros is hell in 2 peter2,4 this is where the evil spirits are imprisoned. proverbs 24,19 for an in depth study read Is there Death after life, by mark G, JAl and JOHN Schoenheit
  10. do you know the time there? it is day here and night there , I see that what is the time EST?ok the time there is on the web page, at 345 it is 12 30 or something in africa. cool well everyone is sleeping no one is coming in for a drink tonite. maybe tonite in the morning for them they will head in.
  11. you r to cool greasy tech. I was talking to the Lord the other day about going to africa, and seeing the animals and how it is a life dream and how i doubt it will ever happen. and i prayed for the beasts. so here you go and give me this good enough . thank you so much yeah i love it!!!
  12. o my ahat i think i would have trouble sleeping if all that happened to me. I have a grown child who can stay awake for days and and days till he starts seeing thing that are not there! I put him in the hospital the last time , they gave him 3 shots of the most powerful medicine they had he slept for about 5 hours total waking up for two in between. he is fine now! what cured him was to stop drinking any alcohol and to be on a regular schedule without choice of sleeping in or not ! get up I do not care if you have not slept all night no naps today!!! this is difficult for a person who is so sleepy all the time, I didnt care and at times i felt I was going to die.. who do you think got up when he did? me! and i couldnt take it i like to sleep when ever i can. he said his mind would race with thoughts.. and ask me if i know and i do not ! bed and cat and blanket means close eyes and sleep to me ! even if it is a boring show on tv or movie I will go out. so I know if you really try to get into a routine and NO naps. it can get you on a regular schedule and your body will rest. folks who work trick shifts have it the worse man i do not know how they do it . but i do know a person can stay awake many days in a row and bad things happen to the mind.
  13. 1 Timothy states clearly Gods thoughts on people. 1 Timothy 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour: 4who will have ALL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. the bible is a book written about the struggle of man and their Creator. God loves us more deeply and more intensly than we may ever know. people just want to deny that and become the ONE to save folks, we can not save our self we need Jesus Christ. God wants \All!!!!! even the bad guys to be saved from His enemy DEATH. the formula is serious enough death or life. I do not care to polly anna the story God has been and always be serious . some will burn to ashes and they will not burn forever. they will burn up to ashes. matt 3,12 malachi 4,1 revelation 21,4 says there will be no more sorrow, crying or pain. YET look at how God wants to deal with the situation!! He wants all to be saved. Jesus christ died for a reason and those who do not like the program can have their own desired result.. death. I have now begun this new ideal for my life if I see myself looking at people as "evil doer" "unbeliever with a bad twist inmy mind" I remember Gods thought He wishes All to be saved ! so I try love. Love wins. I no longer point out what is wrong with folks inlife, (I have plenty inmy own) I love and speak what the word says. God wants us all to be able to live in the kingdom and to get folks to hear the plan the fear of DEATH just doesnt seem like the best approach.

    We have plenty of oil

    We have alot of oil in alaska BUT it is in areas that have been long protected and very dangerous and remote . much is legislated and it would be a war to touch it. this land belongs to the orginal americans , some of the legislation determines we can no longer even walk on the propertyor put shpis any here near the sea. it isnt as easy as it sounds.
  15. and that is the biggest hoax walmart has pulled in my opinion.. they sold it under "american made" remember the flags in the stores? then did a double run and told the companies do this or we are going to china! granted they could say no but it is the largeszt retailer in america nad it would have meant lost jobs and certainly some serious cut backs. tupperware claims Walmart did them in , some claim they played hard and dirty. Was it needed? well it is business for sure but do not come off as Mr retail americana in the process when you have a plan that murders any and nearly all competition. at least Walmart is not playing to love the red white and blue now they would get in trouble but in the 80's they did and that is how they did build it up to come up here north , with the super stores. now nothing freaking matters . they own it no doubt. Im lovin the back lash tho.
  16. Abigal Walmart is not any where near the issues you claim. Walmart DICTATES to corporation the prices of goods they have PLENTY of power and money to provide for the employees they just chose not to.
  17. I also agree with watered garden about unions in the retail here a employee pays for seven years before they can get one benefit of the union, and it is not a choice you must join the union to work! how many folks get a job work for a few years while in school and the unions get alot of money every week from your pay. Do they realy really help the common worker when they need help? I do not know but I have heard not so much and it takes a toll of your pay, I have seen them help one girl and she was the most filthy worker I ever saw in my life in food service at TOPS she must have started as a teen and twenty years in the union still got fired for not being safe with the food, I was a witness she was as gross as they come and the unions just helped her transfer to another branch of the same store. this is helping anyone?
  18. Here at walmart the word union is NOT allowed to be spoken of, even in conversation in the break room or while having a smoke. The walmarts here own the propertys surrounding the store No one is allowed to solicitate and if anyone is even thought of having a ear towards union they are fired or demonted or threatened . In the training seminars this is a vital point ! It says if any one approaches a walmart employee and they do not imediately report it to management it will be cause for termination. why? to provide the best and most comfortable working environment for the employee and to provide good customer service. If walmart would have EVER considered a union it would have been a LONG time ago , when sam died if ever and it aint going there. Walmart has some very very serious policy towards any type of union in its stores. it moves management around every year to avoid any type of these issues and they come in and clean out any one who would consider union. Im sorry but look who works at the walmarts, teens and stay at home moms working part time , people with no education, thinking they will be invited into the corporate ladder, oh comeon I know people at walmart who will never move up any further than dept head and they have worked their butt off nights and weekends and holidays. it is the retail way. now walmart has their own school for the managers and guess what these guys and a few token girls are taken from a campus never once worked for the slave labor called walmart, and now they sit in the positions of saying how it goes for the working class. and the poor suckers who have worked thinking they are going somewhere are stuck really stuck at walmart. but foks so used to working for walmart that didnt leave when they should have to get an education or a real job with a fair wage or union are loyal , very loyal.
  19. a very very large percentage of walmart employees are forced to use (the states medical coverage paid for by the tax payer)medicaid, and do qualify by working full time! that is wrong. yet what is happening here. As walmart works its way up north more and more towns fight them they are considered big box and the towns have successfuly out zoned them from setting up shop, the issue they state is low wage and the fact they tend to drive out small business with the low prices, and the town lose their appeal and commerence. the question is integrity, can anyone compete with a corporation that has such buying power it can dictate the prices on many items for many manufactorers? Yes if walmart aint happy the corporation LOSE the largest contract they have and will end up going under or in the least laying off jobs. We used to call that black mail , and it is a common occurance with walmart. Walmart does set up shop in places other stores will not due to crime or poverty , and these folks can now work for a living. and work they do but Walmart says they do not know what a living wage is. they pay very little so little in fact the medicaid is given to their full time employees. do i shop at walmart? very little but when I had a family I did yes money does win out when your priorities shift from political change to providing for your family. many do fight them coming in. but money is a winner and Walmart has alot it . We had a nice editorial in our paper about these small shops and prices they also over price stuff and have been using the consumer , the same hammer is ten compared to a 1.50 at walmart, Why? cause of the nice neighborhood store ? i do not know if it is worth the difference I rather think not. Some body is still getting rich off an item by the blood of the working man.
  20. Jesus says "love one another" one anothering which means one then the other, it doesnt say just love till they suck your ability to love anymore away from you. then move on to the other person. Love is an action which connotes action one anothering involves at least TWO people to do it. If only one person is loving in a relationship it is NOT as Jesus comanded us to to do it says to "love one another".

    The 60s!

    haha no dears i remember I remember my teacher that year it was the last year we had "school" . they were opening the school without walls and after that we no longer had grades or teachers, I just know it was at school must have been we went down there to watch it for some reason if your certain it was at night . hmm I wonder if it was in color and we only had a black and white at home. maybe this is a riot I do not even know if we had a tv at home then . we probably did I will ask when I see the grown ups at the time. haha so funny how I remember some things so proper and others not so much.

    The 60s!

    no your wrong it was the man on the moon and I do know how old I am . I remember it as clear as day and that is funny we must have gone back to school to watch it. ten o clock it is till light out here in July. I was not a small child middle school age. it was an amazing thing I remember the teachers ignoring us almost watching the tv it was exciting. I will have to ask my sister how it was daytime and it was at night.

    The 60s!

    was tv live back then? i wil ask her we might have gone to the school to watch it at night, funny I do not remember my parents , maybe they had all us kids in the hallway and the adults were in another room or something. it was still like a mouse we couldnt say a word I remember that. funny isnt it? my own child has a memory like this when time stopped and the world changed.. it was 9/11. mine was happy excitement hers was death and despair. sad .

    The 60s!

    It was in JULY? honest I watched it in school and it was during the day. maybe evening . and it was live all the teachers were as nuts as us watching it. at night? did we go to the school for a public thing to watch it? no. maybe I was in elementary like grade 5. some still didnt have tv yet. I will have to call my sister now, to remember but she smoked those more like 10 bucks bags alot more than I did and she wont remember. It is quite possible we had school into july because we had taken alot of time off for the new school. but at night ? my parents would not have taken us, maybe, I do not remember them being there. it might have been a public forum thing if it was that late. even here way east? I know i saw it live and I thought it was daytime (I was a kid so that might be a little wrong) but it was at the school. It was still light out when we sat down cause I wanted to go to the new playground and play outside. In july it is light here till ten o clock at night . who can I call that will remember being there? oh no. i have to find out.

    The 60s!

    I remember two things that the kids today wont remember. Im northern. i lived way out in the country , we did not have the number of schools we have today. #1 had to be to sit on the floor of a LONG hallway with the enitre school watching a black and white tv set at the very end on wheels on a platform, crowded and packed like sardines watching.. the first man ever to walk on the moon. I kept trying to stand up and then we were all just spell bound like a place without time or space watching it. it was soo wow! I will never ever forget that. the enitre school was just silent watching this lone tv way way down the hallway. and I remember the bomb threats constantly we had opened a school without walls and the talk of segregation started and we would get bomb threats and had to evacuate and run run run down the street to a nearby church for safety. again in one room inthe basement teachers so frightened and scarded and no water or food. waiting to see if the school would blow up and we could go home. I remember the sit ins (for peace?) and we would sit in the hallway all jammed together like we had the power ( I do not even know why but when every one sat we sat and they would bring in the police and the water and spray us down and drag some of the guys out. I remember bags of pot so big you couldnt even stuff them in the levi jeans without it making a big lump. the teachers often just gave up and we did our own thing all day long. then I remember the bus bringing in the blacks it was the first time many of us had ever saw a black person.. and i remember the hallways and the way we grouped up and the fear and the smell and the parents , it was a time. today none of these seem like big ordeals but then it was it truly was changing the world. YOKO and JOHN were on the news YOKO and her hair, and the lie in bed for a week for peace, I wondered how did they stay so clean. everything was white in the enitre room and they would make signs for the people down below with crayons and markers. How John was changing to suit this womangoing to be a HOUSE HUSBAND!!! and how the beatles had broke up over her and she was soo soo soo ok I will say it UGLY!!!! and old at the time!!! YOKO was big news and she had a power we all wanted and heard about but few from the country got very far with. i think ya had to be there to get this one.
