True regeneration produces a contrite and repentant heart. It brings about obedience out of love and longing for Him. But God works out His plans in the lives of His elect in His own time

Brother CV, I find the measurement of handing out a book in the parking lot against condoning as God's will the trading out of our rep for "safety" and watching the diaspora of millions, that is millions from Iraq onward to be immeasurably different.

America was built upon Christian foudation by people who feared God. US, with it's constitution and it's bill of rights is the best thing on this side of heaven, and has stood as a beacon of hope and freedom. But Satan was bussy too at the laying of the foundation through Jim's masons.
Today, the rapid erosion of freedom and privacy, mostly through contrived fear, is scary.

American wars are now mostly for special interests.
Darby/Schofield christianity is no help because they have little regard for an Iraqy Christian as they dive headlong to arrange Jeruslem to be the worlds capital.

I did notice that in the article, this woman is referred to as "Ms"; in a older article "Miss." Yet, the article describes her as a mother of three.

Sadly, many women cast off the protective covering of their fathers in their youth and reject having husbands in favor of "careers, freedom, and independence." which is a rejection of God's creation order.

it amazes me that such an aggressive generation that has encouraged such aggressions overseas, could be so offended because a pastor in the parking lot passes out a book contrary to their views.

This conference was put on by GTY by their money on their property. They are NOT obligated to provide a table to Driscol or Muslims.

This was not a government styfling all forms of free speech so Driscol had sneak in and run gourilla warfare. Critize, but pay for your own program. Why diddn't Driscol go through the proper approval process. Sneaky!

A conference held to promote John MacArthur's new book is crashed by a pastor promoting his new book. Without getting the official imprimatur of MacArthur's organization, the conference crasher is escorted out. The absurdity of this situation

Christians undertaking a serious bible study can differ because we are at various stages of spiritual growth. You however, have a penchant to wade in to discover bizarre secret trinkets that has remained hidden to everyone else.

There is both, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and water baptism.

The context in 1Cor1 is water baptism. Paul's main point is that he doesn't want littles sects of Christianity based on whose line your church traces back to. “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.

If there is no water baptism, then in all of Paul's ministry, he only "gave" the Holy Spirit to a handful that he can't even remember for the most part. How he can dispense the Holy Spirit, only you are privy to that secret.

Isn't the Holy Spirit THE MOST ESSENTIAL element of a believer? Paul should drop everything he is doing and do the one thing that matters the most. But in verse 17, he does the opposite.

CV,
My point, again, is to shed light on the REALITY that some who decry the conspicuous heresies of the RCC, are unwilling to ...expose false doctrine, [and] confess the weaknesses in their own churches.

Reality wrote:
Take Arminianism, notion that Jesus died for EVERYONE and everyone need only ALLOW GOD to come into his/her heart. Or the satanic doctrine that a born-again believer could actually lose his/her salvation. That is just two of the fundamental beliefs of a major portion of professing believers in America
Why is the RCC the only one receiving the "righteous indignation" of most posting here?

God deserves all the glory and honor exclusively! RC exists to supplant that.

RC is satans ploy to attack the Church from within. There is not a single place, NOT ONE, where RC sincerely honors God. It pretends to, by doing just enough to get accepted, then divert worship.

Satan's RC is so beguiling that it steals by pretending to be helping us.

Of course Jesus is God and Saviour, the devil aknowledges that. That's why we can turn to the devil and join him. We can pray to the devil to help us. And satan and his minions can take care of all our dealings with God.

This is RC unmasked.
It exists to supplant God. God is never sufficient. Gods work is never sufficient.

Or they could just do the religious (skip the legal) ceremony and then live together. Or skip the church, do the civil, and live together. Isn't it all real marriage no matter how you slice it?

No, people aren't forgoing partnering up again, they're forgoing the marriage ceremony and just living together. Divorces are bigger then ever. It's more to do with a shift in the societal stigma that was attached to both, (and the changes in the role of women).

The bible sees marriage as a 'one-flesh union' that no man can put asunder. No divorce!

"SOME WOMEN", could your anger and bitterness be the result of over zealous Christians around you? Or could it be that your current lifestyle is in conflict with your Christian upbringing? God isn't angry with you, waiting to pounce on you.

Yes, God has always and for all times required PERFECT obedience to ALL His laws. But we could never make it. The law was given so that we could marvel and give God the glory for the grace that was extended to us on the cross. Amazing grace at that!

11Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
