Rejoice

This would give creedance to the idea that the members at Nicea cut, rearranged, eliminated parts of or whole texts which would be the reason for all the confusion. That is why the Bible as we have it today, cannot be the final say---in anything. It has obvious holes that cannot be reconciled within itself.

I wish I could say something kind...

Yep...TWI taught me well, didn't they?? I thought that's what we were trained to do! hehehehehe :P

Maybe he should read the book, "Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why" http://www.amazon.com/Misquoting-Jesus-Story-Behind-Changed/dp/0060859512/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319070801&sr=8-1 It might give us all something to ponder...

So sad...we have grown up into adults, and adults ask questions and EXPECT answers, or they're gone... Platitudes and quotes just don't cut it anymore.

Somehow, Kool-Aid is for many things that have nothing to do with food. That's good because it is nothing but chemicals except for the gelatin which is unflavored.

One more thing about my tortilla soup---I TRIPLE the amount of cumin...love that flavor!

thanks for the reply. I'm not speaking about those who use an alias to post on forums; that is fine. I am speaking about times when posters talk about the perpetrators who have done wrong, never admit it, and never apologize(d).

from his email...does he really still believe this? "And what did God do in the 1960s to combat the enemy’s assault? One of the most significant things on the entire spectrum of Church history: the Power For Abundant Living class in The Way International. That unique class then went from a farm in Ohio to liberate people in 60 countries by teaching them more biblical Truth than had been available anywhere else on earth since the first century."

One of the Best sites for all recipes is Food.com one of my all time faves is a Chicken Tortilla soup recipe simmered all day in crock pot. One twist on the attached recipe; Instead of crushed tortilla chips, I take 10 corn tortillas cut them in strips and then small squares and pan fry them with garlic and cilantro until crisp. Stir into the crock pot ingredients and then simmer on low all day. the fried tortillas compeletely dissipate and thicken the soup. You can add some crushed tortilla chips on top for garnis. http://www.food.com/recipe/the-best-chicken-tortilla-soup-104086

Long ago, we on the forum stopped spelling names in full because of the Allen Lawsuit and not wanting to jeopardize the outcome. The suit was settled long ago, yet we still continue creating name acronyms when discussing substantiated experiences involving specific people, yet have no trouble spelling out Hitler, Stalin etc. Is there still some need to protect the guilty?

Not only him...Mrs W went along with it all, as did Don W, Howard A, 'Uncle H'. Not sure what I think of Ermal, and Dorothy---they may have been duped like us. At least there was never any talk about Ermal...

I absolutely believe this statement to be true; I have experienced these results in my own walk...

I have to wonder---was she a liar too? She definitely lied by omission, and her book glorified her 'house-mate'

Special my A$$...! They never seem to understand that they are NOTHING without followers, not the other way around!

Donnie Fugit was in 5th Way Corps.

STFI says/implies that they represent the church as an entity. Interestingly, many of their past and current 'ordained' leadership are divorced. Have they ignored the scriptures in Timothy and Titus (New Testament) that clearly state that an elder or bishop must be the husband of one wife? Scripture allows for a man to serve as an elder or deacon if his wife has passed away and he has remarried. It allows for a biblical divorce if the offending spouse committed adultery or was an unbeliever who chose to leave. It seems pretty clear the case of divorced people, they can still teach, but not as a representative leader. STFI seems to gloss over that fact completely.

Ralph DID start his own splinter group; it was CES, along with John Lynn, Robert Belt and a few others. However, early on he could see it was just a rehash of the 'yester-years'. He said so, and said, "No More"...go home and live life. I mean really, if God is God Almighty, who are we to think that HE can't reach others without us??? Often I've believed that 'believers' get in God's way!

E-G-O. What they haven't learned is that ego negates spiritual discernment, but then again, ego rarely 'learns' anything.

That group seems to always have trouble at the top. When you look at the history (starting with CES) those in leadership either opens their eyes to what is going on and decide to leave, or those in leadership become corrupt and are removed. It seems this M Patten was 'ordained' only last year and less than six months later is gone/removed. The question remains...is this REALLY God's ministry, or simply ordained of man?

Fight Cancer Get the book, "World Without Cancer". Eat Apricot Seeds; hightest form of Vitamin B17 but in a balanced formula as nature intended. Mr. Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease like scurvy or pellagra aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modem man’s diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile. Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non drug approach? The author contends that the answer is to be found, not in science, but in politics and is based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment. This is a new edition of the book. It is the most complete and authoritative treatise ever produced on Laetrile. It explains the theory by which Laetrile is believed to work. Case histories are included.
