Hope the 3rd shift continues to go well. How is your mom? Hope all is well with you and your family.

It's unfortunate that those of us who are genuinely saved still have a nasty flesh to deal with and sometimes we tend to obey it's lusts rather than the spirit's promptings. I know whenever I have gone to the Lord in prayer with my complaints over a brother or sister who sinned against me, the Lord is quick to sober me with the reality of an area in my life that is not pleasing to Him. So obviously we will never be free from sin. But what I am talking about is those positionally in Christ are no longer declared wicked or guilty. We are now sons and daughters.

I see what you are saying and you are right......on weeping for the lost. Many prophets did like Jeremiah who lamented constantly. So we can pray for them and continue to love them. But I still feel the same for those who like Hitler for example, inherited Hell because of their gross wickedness........those are the kind of people I am talking about.

David speaks repeatedly in the Psalms about God bringing calamity on his foes and the enemies of God. And remember when Jesus proclaimed many woes to the Pharisees in Matt. 23. Jesus knew their hearts were wicked and full of dead men's bones.

I understand your heart but I don't agree with all of what you said. Hell was created by God for people who hate Him and His righteousness. Hell was created for Satan and all who follow suit. There are many verses that refer to God laughing when their calamity comes because they ignored His laws and His righteous rule and they became proud and arrogant and said in their hearts that they would be like God (fools). In Romans chapter 1, Paul talks alot about God's wrath.

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I had something to do. I think the scripture that comes to my mind about this global warming hype is Romans chapter 1. Fantastic scripture which talks about man worshipping the creation rather than the Creator and this is exactly what we see in global warming. Man sets himself up to be god and gives himself all this power and glory which he does not possess and totally ignores the Creator.

Some catholics are the most self-righteous, arrogant, prideful people I have met. At least those that are of scholarly form.

By the way, Lou Dobbs had 2 guests come on his show to talk about this very thing and these men had nothing to do with government, they were just billionaires who can buy people off with greed and power, they don't care at all about the American people. Lou Dobbs said to them, "but what about the American people, don't they have a say?" To which they responded, "It will keep our borders safer from terriorism if we join with Canada and Mexico."

Amen! I only left that comment because I do occasionally have a glass of wine and I do not feel condemned when I do. But when I do have a glass of wine......I do so in moderation and I would never do it in front of a "weaker" christian who feels it's a sin to have any wine period (as it says in Romans 14). My freedom in Christ allows me to have a glass of wine once in awhile just as my freedom in Christ allows me to wear pants.

I know I will always get a laugh when I read some of your comments.

It was nice to read your testimony. I take it you were a former catholic. Praise God He brought you out of that! I am sure evangelizing catholics is very important to you.........and it really is sad that many believers think catholics are genuinely saved. And as far as Britney goes......God is fully aware of her every thought as He is with every single human being so I'll leave that in His very capable, sovereign hands. But like I said there are many "religious" people on their way to Hell and that is exactly what they want and that is exactly what they will get.

And I am not saying that from a self-righteous attitude but rather from a truthful standpoint and reality.
