Fred Yes , "Lord please take this temptation from me" helps and if I may I would add to that the word '' resist '' just like our Lord did when He was tempted.He resisted through God's Word! |

adam7gur,
Yes, Thanks much. I have another favorite prayer that works well. I believe that we were created in the image of God so I believe He has a sense of humor because we have one. That prayer is this one. "Lord please give me patience but I need it right now." Peace and kindness, Fred |

My heritage goes back along why in this country so I must be a true Englishman but what faith should best suit me or do you think I will find that out myself. Oh, adam7gur thanks for your thingys from the bible and for explaining them this gives me great concern for thought so I will go away and think this through and if indeed your right then GOD bless your soul you deserve your throne. Also a thank you and God bless you to arcura for his helpful gestures to. Thou I am not a true member of the church my mum was a christian by faith and church was a big thing in my early days. Schools and churches used to do a good service to youngsters what went wrong now all kids know how to do is be bad. |

WakkieRob,
I was raised a Lutheran and active in that early on starting as predsident of the Sunday School. I was a Catholic basher doing my best to trun people away from that church. I was challenged to use the bible to prove how wrong the Catholics were. What happened was that I found that the Catholic Church was right in so many ways that I thought was wrong. I went to the Catholic to find out more and to understand more of what it taught in areas I was having trouble with. I found that often what outsiders said about the Church was wrong because like me they did not understand the teaching. So over 30 years ago I became a Catholic. It was a journey I've been very happy to make and I'm still on that Journey learning more and more. Peace and kindness. Fred |

Unlike arcura, I did not turn to a denomination, nor is my faith based on the hate or love of any manmade organization, rather my faith is based upon coming to realize that Jesus Christ is who He said that he was, and I believed the gospel, and received Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. When I was about 11 years old, I was reading the Bible one day and came to the realization that this book was not just a series of nice stories, but rather it was God's word to us, and the gospel was the real account of God coming to earth in the flesh as a man to take our place and our penalty for sin. I came to the relization that I had a decision to make, to either accept or reject Him as saviour. I chose to receive Him as Lord and Saviour. |

Tj3,
Thanks for that information. My faith does not depend on the love or hate of any denomination either. In fact, as you know, I defend people of other faiths and denominations to believe as they want to. Peace and kindness,'Fred |

Tj3,
Don't twist what I said as usual. At one time long ago I was a Catholic basher but that does not mean I hated Catholics or their Church, I just thought, at that time. That is was very wrong. I was the one who was wrong. I defend everyone's right to believe as the want to. Peace and kindness, Fred |

I am a Greek living in Greece so naturally I was raised a Greek orthodox Christian.When I was 27 and after reading the Bible I realized that being a Greek orthodox Christian was not what I was looking for ! So after a two year of joining some Pentecostal church here in Greece and after realizing that no matter how gifted some people were ( pastors etc. )they could not bring God's justice within the church.A wicked spirit of unjustice and twisting words and truths was controlling the ''head'' of the church but the saddest thing was that the rest of us were depending on them rather than depending on God and that's why God did to us what He did to Israel through the Babylonians.Like those people that moved to Babylon to save their lives , I myself joined today's ''Babylon'' to save my spiritual life.Todays Babylon is living far away from ''Jerusalem'', but not becoming a Babylonian.Always praying and never forgetting about ''Jerusalem'' which to us today is THE CHURCH!We are waiting for God to send us ''back home''!! I suppose all this sounds hard to understand but if you read the Bible describing the situation of Israel in the time of Isaiah ,Jeremiah and Ezekiel you will see how things were and if you continue reading Daniel and a little bit further on you will see what we are waiting for ! Sorry for saying so many things ! |

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes we are to depend on God and I believe pastors a meant to lead us to God and to depend on Him. Most pastors that I know have done that and still do. That is with the exception of those I knew who have gone home to heaven. Peace and kindness, Fred |

I hope one day like in the days of the bible that there are followers that can save us like Moses and the like. And that we can all see the Micricales 4 ourselves so that the people can believe again without this shed of dote.

Tj3,
Don't try to twist it. I have always defended everyone's right to believe as the want to and you know that from the many years we both have been on boards together. Don't TRY to make it seem otherwise. That is being false. Peace and kindness, Fred |

The best way to demonstrate your commitment to this principle, Fred, is not to go around telling everyone, but to demonstrate it through your actions. |
