Matter exists only because we (consciousness) observe it and believe it exists.

How are you

So are you accusing me of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit because I point out from scripture that this worthless gibbering crap Pentecostals call tongues, is not the gift of tongues?

You Pentecostals have no special claim to the Holy Spirit or power or gifts.

It's just voodoo that you do

Most important of all is that you Pentecostals are the very ones Jesus is talking below...



See they do not even know that they are not known by Jesus.

WHAT A TERRIBLE DELUSION!

READ AND UNDERSTAND!!!

Why is the act of babbling (Tongues) dangerous.

1: Never in scripture has anything like it been recorded. On the day of Pentecost, they spoke in other languages as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance and we need to understand what Paul was talking about from that perspective. (Acts 2:4-12, 1 Corinthians 14)

2: They who interpret it are falsely prophesying. Saying it is from God gives the message they speak divine authority. The hearers then believe that we should give special heed to what is being said, and so obeyed and believed as if from God. This gives the messenger great power and influence over people. (Ezekiel 13)

3: The practice of it is giving the user false confidence, and on holding such great reverence for it, they cannot and will not give it up and so try with much enthusiasm to encourage others to practice it.(2 Peter 2:13)

4:It makes them think they are getting close to God when in fact by sinning they are moving further and further away from Him. (Jude 12)

5: They think that it is from the Holy Spirit when in fact it is a spirit that is causing them to sin.
6:It stems from a desire for experience, causing others to focus on experience and not faith in Gods goodness and Mercy as seen in the Bible. (2 Peter 1:19-21, Hebrews 10:38, Romans 10:17)

7: Since it is not from God, they who practice it must twist scriptures out of context to justify it ( 2 Peter 3:16) Thus driving them on to sin more and more. So this gift only drives the user on to sin on several different levels.

It doesn't edify the church but introduces several serious sins. Deceiving people, falsely prophesying, twisting scripture and putting the focus on experience and not faith.

Nothing good has ever or will ever come from this false gift that is not from God.

They who practice it love a lie, and so love deceiving others.

Not only do they delight in sin, but also delight in others who sin as well.

Christianity is suppose to save people from their sins, not encourage them to sin. (Mat 5:13-15)

So being a lie it hides the truth, causing people to sin means that the church is no longer purifying its members as salt purifies and preserves, thus losing its saltiness.

You know better, so don't let it effect you. When you react, you are giving away your power.



Science still does not have it right so why take sides? Eventually it will all make perfect sense.



You probably should not be concerned with what other grown people believe, but if that is what you like to do, or place your attention on, you will.



Politicians probably just pretend to be religious to get votes. It is all a game.

What you complain and rail about you help to create.

Don't sweat the stupid stuff. Your own personal growth is all that matters.



DON'T TRY OR EXPECT TO CONVERT THEM EITHER.

Everything will make sense eventually.

A Republican in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, 'Is that Jesus sitting over there?' The waitress nodded 'yes,' so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him...

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, 'Is that Jesus over there?'
The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, 'My treat.'

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, 'Hey there, honey! How's about gettin' me a cold glass of Miller Light?' He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, 'Is that God's boy over there?' The waitress once more nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold glass of beer. 'On my bill,' he said.

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, 'For your kindness, you are healed.' The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.

Jesus also passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, 'For your kindness, you are healed.' The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, and he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door.

Then Jesus walked towards the Democrat. The Democrat jumped up and yelled, 'Don't touch me... I'm collecting disability.'

I was eating supper with my four year old grand-daughter and asked her if she knew what tomorrow was?

'President's day,' she replied.

Happy with her brightness, I asked her if she knew what it meant. I was expecting to hear something about Washington, Lincoln, etc.

She said, 'That's when President Obama comes out of the White House. If he sees his shadow, we'll have four more years of bullchit.'

You know, hot coffee hurts when it spurts out your nose.

A redneck with a bucket full of live fish, was approached recently by a

game warden in Texas as he started to drive his boat away from a lake. The

game warden asked the man, "May I see your fishing license please?" "Naw,

sir," replied the redneck. "I don't need none of them there papers. These

here are my pet fish." "Pet fish!?!?" "Yep. Once a week, I bring these

here fish o'mine down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for a while.

Then when I whistle, they swim right back into my net and I take 'em

home." "What a line of baloney....you're under arrest." The redneck said,

"It's the truth, Mr. Gov'ment man. I'll show ya! We do this all the

time!!" "WE do, now, do WE?" smirked the warden. "PROVE it!" The redneck

released the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After a few minutes,

the warden said, "Well?" "Well, WHUT?" said the redneck. The warden asked,

"When are you going to call em back?" "Call who back?" "The FISH," replied

the warden! "Whut fish?" asked the redneck.

yeah,right!

Perhaps the bluntest expression of the Puritan ideal of theocracy was the Rev. Nathaniel Ward's The Simple Cobbler of Aggawam in America (1647). Returning to England to take part in the Puritan ferment there, this Massachusetts divine was horrified to find the English Puritans too soft and tolerant, too willing to allow a diversity of opinion in society. The objective of both church and state, Ward declaimed, was to coerce virtue, to "preserve unity of spirit, faith and ordinances, to be all like-minded, of one accord; every man to take his brother into his Christian care … and by no means to permit heresies or erroneous opinions." Ward continued:

God does nowhere in His word tolerate Christian States to give toleration to such adversaries of His truth, if they have power in their hands to suppress them … He that willingly assents to toleration of varieties of religion … his conscience will tell him he is either an atheist or a heretic or a hypocrite, or at best captive to some lust. Poly-piety is the greatest impiety in the world.… To authorize an untruth by a toleration of State is to build a sconce against the walls of heaven, to batter God out of His chair..................


If you believe the extreme Christians are not instituting this kind of Regime because of Love for their Fellow-Man,you are deceiving yourself!

You need to listen to some of those Leaders instead of just nodding at their Sound!
