I love it! I do however have a problem with this. The Bible clearly tell us to be seperate! I have the DVD's on "They sold their soul for rock and roll", and Micheal Jackson is in it. Have we come to the point where we the Church feel God is not enough, and we must mix with the world to reach the lost? When I came to Christ, I was looking for something different! I believe the Church has become Carnal. Look I am only 28 years old, so It's not like I am older and am old fashion. I love praise and worship, but God does not need the world's help!

]]> Comment on Ohio Teacher Refuses to Remove Bible From Classroom by brother malachi http://truediscernment.wordpress.com/2008/04/20/940/#comment-2791 brother malachi Sat, 10 May 2008 16:44:44 +0000 http://truediscernment.wordpress.com/?p=940#comment-2791 Thanks John for linking to the article on the Christian Post. I had missed reading this when it was posted, so the read was very informative. There is a serious 'spiritual ignorance' that is running school systems all across America and the sad thing is the children in attendance are going to be the recipients of the error. I am sitting here this very moment and have watched to news blurbs on FOX News Channel. Saturday May 10.2008 The first is that a mass police presence has been called in to a high school in LA because of gang rival fighting between African American and Hispanics in the school. Six-hundred students were participating in the brawl. The second was a teenage girl in Utah that was brutally beaten after getting off the school bus while 20+ teenagers stood around and jeered. We have pushed all knowledge of God out of the public school system across America and wonder why the drop out rate is in excess of 40%. With each day and year we can see the problem is getting worse and it is evident that it is no longer in man's ability to reign in the situation and now there is another spirit that is ruling and reigning, at that with a violent force. malachi Thanks John for linking to the article on the Christian Post.

]]> Comment on The Blood Moon Scenario by Tabatha http://truediscernment.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/the-blood-moon-scenario/#comment-2790 Tabatha Sat, 10 May 2008 12:00:20 +0000 http://truediscernment.wordpress.com/?p=980#comment-2790 If you understand Jewish tradition it speaks to the Rapture. You only receive one side of our faith if you just study the bible. We need to dig to our roots. I have found this out recently, once I started to research Jewish traditions, festivals and language. The Jews have God's calendar and commandments concerning His seasons (festivals). Example: The first of Av is a celebration of the Feast of the Trumpets. This was also considered the celebration that "no one knew the time or the day of it's arrival" because it began when the full moon was visible. They extended it to two days, because of this, otherwise people would miss the celebration and not be able to participate as God commanded them. (reference the Lord's coming "with a blast of a trumpet and a shout") Jesus said "no one knows the hour or the day", but also said that His people would not be caught by surprise. (parable of the Virgins with the oil lamps and the Master who went away leaving the servant in charge.) God is so logical and mathematical and repetitive. Jesus also rebuke the Pharisees because they did not see the sign of His coming. "you can look to the sky and discern the day, but you do not know the time of His coming" (loosely translated) Please do not discount this until you completely investigate all that is being said. I have gain so much from expanding my vision to His people. We greatly depend on the Word of God, but can not forget the people He gave it to... the Jew then the Gentile.

At what point did one of them stop believing Gods word? I hope that the two of them realize that God himself is watching them, even as he is watching the other so called Christian leaders who are divorcing their spouse for what seems no apparent reason. How can they be effective witnesses for God and their actions are nothing common than what the world is doing?" If I get tired of you in a relationship I'll divorce you and say that we just were no longer compatible." Could this be part of the great falling away that the Bible speaks of? Could this be the great deception spoken of in the Bible in the Church that would cause many to be decieved in the last day? The Bible does say that men would be lovers of themselves more than theyw ould God, "isn't this a prime example? My final thoughts and they are many but I know that I have to be brief: BE NOT DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED, WHATEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP. GAL 6:7 My prayer is that we as the church don't allow leaders like this to enfluence our walk with Christ, we are supposed to be a royal priest hood a holy nation yet we act like the world and the there is no seperation, is not this fleecing Gods people? whoever sent this article I must say thank you, it's past time for exposure of this kind of conduct in God's house.
