I'd like to change the last few lines of my post to this -

  Of course, because nobody ever sins or walks away from their faith.
  That's unscriptural as stated above.

I don't think John the Baptist did something dumb.  He was on my list of people who did nothing to cause their circumstances.  Same for Paul.  I suppose I could rearrange what I said a little bit to look like this.-

Not referring to people in the bible - Sometimes a person does something dumb and then there are consequences. God is not going to bail us out every time or we would just do things and then expect God to fix it. Look at Samson.

Not dumb, but he did cause his circumstances - He told Delilah his weakness and ended up getting his eyes put out.

Not dumb, did not cause their circumstances  - The following people did nothing to cause their circumstances, but bad things did happen to them. Look at Paul, he spent the latter part of his life in jail. One of the apostles got stoned to death. Job lost his children. Rachel lost her children when Herod killed the children under two. John the baptist lost his head.

  I used to be a lot more outspoken for the Lord.  But this little dose of horror has stopped all that.

  That's what the preachers say, right?  If you're not bothered by the devil, somethings wrong with your walk.

  I know, I've been on the receiving end of God's power.   Sometimes though life is not always good for the christian.  Sure we have people pray for us for our sickness, and if we don't get healed, we go to the doctor. I'm sure christians have to get radiation for cancer.  We have to go through things, unfortunately.

Cool.

even after   As an example, lets say a christian strays from the Lord and ****s their house away.  A few weeks later, the christian sees the error of their ways and asks the Lord for forgiveness.  The house is still gone.  The person has to fix and live with this error.  The Lord is just not going to drop a new house from the sky for this person.

    of?
  What are you referring to?  What you said earlier?
  This isn't a discussion though.  This started as a prayer request by someone else.  I added the same prayer request and then Christian40 asked a little about the situation.  So, we weren't talking about doctrine or the bible, but rather about my situation and what was happening.

  I appreciate the gesture of kindness there.
  That's not mentioned anywhere in this thread.  Maybe you assumed that?
  again, appreciate the kindness there
  Are you saying what happens to me and the poster who started this thread and Mark's friend is nonsense?  Nonsense?  Are you trying to say I'm a liar?  If not, what do you mean by nonsense?
  It may sound that way, but it's not.
  So only scriptural problems can be prayed for and discussed?  I don't what's more scriptural than evil spirits.  Jesus did a lot of chasing them away.  That's doctrinal.
  I know it.
  Thank God He does!
  To squelch discussion you have miscategorized?  If a beleiver asks for prayer on something, who is anyone to disbeleive that?  Or to say that person is walking in the flesh?!  This phenomena is more like a haunting.  Is the moderator position to be intolerant of what actually goes on in people's lives because they can't understand it?

  To what does thie refer to though?  Yes, walking in the Spirit is the way to go.  What were you referring to?
  Would have told me what? 

What's unscriptural is that I seem to be hearing there that no one should sin.

I guess it could be a time difference issue, too.

^ ^ ^ ^
I can tell by what you wrote that the Lord blessed you with a heart of gold.

That was an awesome testimony.  Here's a shout out to Larry.

When I quoted Mark and posted my answer/question, Tennis Shoe's post wasn't there.  Is it possible that Tennis Shoe started the post (April 18 11:43pm) before I did (today, April 19 12:59 a.m.) but didn't post it until after I did?  So what I'm saying is, could Tennis Shoe have started to write a post but didn't post it until later.  Is that what would give her the earlier post time even though she hadn't posted it yet?

I heard a long time ago that both boys and girls were developing faster due to fast food (wendy's, burger king, etc.).

I thought I learned in Social Studies that the U.S. was a democracy.  I do believe you, though.  I'm sure if we took a vote on this forum, no one but you knew that the U.S. was a constitutional republic.  It's nice to be smart!  The Lord has blessed you with that quality.  I know that all the latest homeland security laws to fight the war on terror are Unconstitutional.  The ones that listen in on everybody's communications and that can detain somebody forever with no lawyer.  And what's the latest one.  Killing is now authorized.  I think Alalawi is the latest example of that.

I got the goosebumps reading your testimony.  That was amazing how you came to Christ because a ball went through the window and you went to find it (and found life instead!)

Some churches still have them old hymn books.

I know someone who put some scriptures to music.  Nice song.  The lyrics are:

He has shown thee, O man
What is good and what the Lord requires of thee,
But to do justly,
and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God.

Ah, scripture songs are the Best!

  Like someone who was born June 6, 2006.

You don't get many non-believers or trolls wrecking havoc.  I haven't seen one!  How is that possible?  It's nice to have peace!

  What did you mean by they?  Flaming swords?

Oops, got cut off and didn't get to finish that post.  I was saying, I've considered that and I could accept that more than the other possibility.

  Sometimes a person does something dumb and then there are consequences.  God is not going to bail us out every time or we would just do things and then expect God to fix it.  Look at Samson.  He told Delilah his weakness and ended up getting his eyes put out.  The following people did nothing to cause their circumstances, but bad things did happen to them.  Look at Paul, he spent the latter part of his life in jail.  One of the apostles got stoned to death.  Job lost his children.  Rachel lost her children when Herod killed the children under two.  John the baptist lost his head.

  I don't see how this statement applies.  This a prayer thread, I shouldn't have to defend myself.  Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it's impossible.

  I don't fear and I do love you my sister.  I'm guessing sister because your name ends with an a.

  I've considered that.

  I know Tor has had to issue fixes in the past.  I thought currently they were bulletproof, but I see by the article you posted that wasn't the case.  Then again, law enforcement is refusing to said how they broke the case.  I could guess and say that law enforcement was also on the Tor network or perhaps they were already pursuing the drug dealers.

  Every single webmail uses cookies!  Even the ones that use encryption!  I always have cookies off.  All websites seem to be functional without cookies.  Internet users should really start referring to cookies as something else like  'required file plants'.  Cookies are sweet and delicious.  Two totally separate things!!

  I have passwords, but not banking info.

  My drives aren't working.  I once connected the wire for the cd drive, but then it stopped working.  I suppose I could use a memory stick though.  Good advice.

  What type of app?  Anti-virus apps?

  Paranoid is smart.

You must have an iron firewall!  How do you keep up with new viruses that come out?

  I don't blame you.  Registries are touchy.

  I feel invinceable with firefox because it has an extension called 'no scrpts'.  Nothing can run on the computer unless I give it permission.  Do you think I'm safe?

  I've clicked on a few of those and they can really ruin a computer. The worst part is by the time it's all fixed, you forgot what website did it.

  I wonder if christians have a special place on the list.

  Praise the Lord!

It seems that this article is taken from yours, yet it's dated October, 2011 and refers to something happening on a Monday of October.  I guess the vatican made the same statement twice.

Vatican Calls for New World Economic Order
Published October 24, 2011 / Associated Press
VATICAN CITY –  The Vatican called Monday for radical reform of the world's financial systems, including the creation of a global political authority to manage the economy.

A proposal by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace calls for a new world economic order based on ethics and the "achievement of a universal common good." It follows Pope Benedict XVI's 2009 economic encyclical that denounced a profit-at-all-cost mentality as responsible for the global financial meltdown.

The proposal acknowledges, however, that a "long road still needs to be traveled before arriving at the creation of a public authority with universal jurisdiction" and suggests the reform process begin with the United Nations as a point of reference.

Vatican pronouncements on the economy are meant to guide world leaders as well as the global church. United States Roman Catholic bishops, for example, have released a voter guide for the 2012 election that highlights social concerns such as ending poverty.

"It is an exercise of responsibility not only toward the current but above all toward future generations, so that hope for a better future and confidence in human dignity and capacity for good may never be extinguished," the document said.

It highlights that reforms must assure that financial and monetary policies will not damage the weakest economies while also achieving fair distribution of the world's wealth.

The proposal also called for a "minimum, shared body of rules to manage the global financial market," lamenting the "overall abrogation of controls" on capital movements.

While past Vatican pronouncements have condemned unfettered capitalism, the latest criticized "an economic liberalism that spurns rules and controls."

It also attacked "utilitarian thinking," saying what is useful to the individual does not always favor the common good

  Well. there is a few scriptures that says something to the effect of this paraphrased scripture:  narrow is the road and straight is the way and few there be that find it.

  I think so because of this scripture (paraphrased):  He became sin for us.

  I put the tape on the photo lens in case, by some remote chance, the phone could be used to see me and my surroundings.  I got the idea from reading about it somewhere.

Would you say that evil has always been around, even before God created the earth?  Is this maybe why God created the earth - as part of a plan to overcome evil?  The believers are part of the army at Armegeddon.  We know that God is all powerful and with Him nothing is impossible.  Yet for some reason He chose to create an army to destroy evil.  What say you?

Do you think somewhere on earth the flaming swords still exist that the Lord used to block anyone else from picking the fruit off the tree of good and evil?

  Never knew that!  I bet most people don't.
  Can you please rephrase this sentence or maybe give an example?

  I once heard in a sermon that, if we don't believe in it as a christian, not to watch it.  For example, all those shows featuring non-marrieds having sex.  Since I don't believe in that kind of lifestyle, I'm certainly not going to support the show by watching it.  Occasionally, someone will mention how funny a show is.  So I tune in to it to see, and it sure is funny.  Unfortunately, the lifestyles depicted in the show forced me not watch it.  I was a little sad, because I'm missing a funny show, yet glad I'm saved by the blood!  I'll find something more suitable.

and how about that scripture that basically says there's no limit to the amount of times we have to forgive-
Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother?   Seven times?
and the Lord said
Not seven times, but seventy times seven

I read within the last year that the pope called for a one world government.

  And our presidential votes don't even count.  We have the electoral college to vote for us because apparently majority doesn't rule.

  I'd be curious to see someone using this technology.  I wonder if it's in the U.S. yet?  Good article.  This is probably the closest precursor to the mark because you don't have to hold this technology in your hand.

  I'm impressed.  I never would have thought of that.

  This reminded me of something I saw that showed through the stars and constellations how the wise men knew Jesus was born and I think maybe it mentioned September as Jesus' birth.
