OK, I am just looking at the dating pool. My profile is perhaps rather negative, in that I am NOT looking to 'hookup' - just viewing the pool candidates.. The comments of emails I receive, it is pretty obvious to me that my profile is NOT being read at all, as the comments in their emails reference what a nice profile it is, etc... are you kidding me?did you read it??? Or are they just MANREADING it? Manreading - look at the pictures and carry on anyway.. Hints about scammers would be appreciated.. Kat Yes, it can be very frustrating. There are a lot of scammers. Advice given to me was set your mail settings to 50 to 60 age and location must be within 50 miles. that should cut down on some of the spammers and scammers. Alas I'm too young and too far from you. You sound like a neat person though. I have decided that Mingle isn't a dating site but it has a great forum. I really enjoy the conversations here. Good luck 
I agree completely. It seems that getting a date here is like winning the lottery. There is a better chance of getting struck by lightning. Some of the posts are good and funny. Some are negative and demanding. Many are self serving. I get "friend requests" from 30 year olds from somewhere I ain't even close to or know where it is without going to Google earth. What does a thirty something want with a 72 year old man? From my profile picture you should be able to tell I do not have oodles of bucks. As for reading the profiles, I always do before sending a message. Sometimes just out of curiosity because they live somewhere that I lived at one time. I gave up on finding a partner here a long time ago. I check the posts once in a while and respond when I am interested or bored. |

If the scientist's calculations are reliable the dinosaurs died out about 60 million years ago. I think we need to take another look at Genesis. I would like to know more about the Greek translation. If Greek is a "synthetic" language, is it easily misinterpreted? Genesis is originally in Hebrew. No it is originally in Aramaic. |

Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and some other Global Faiths proclaim the Unity of the Creator as one of the Core tenets of their beliefs. Why then do we have so much intolerance, hatred, and misinformation between adherents of the different faiths? If we all believe there is Only One Creator, shouldn't there be a tolerance of those Who Worship Him in ways other than ours? Because all in all, God wants to be worshiped the way he said he wishes to be worshiped. It's not about the way we wish to worship God, it's about the way he wishes to be worshiped as he is God almighty. Why then do we have so much intolerance, hatred, and misinformation between adherents of the different faiths? That I couldn't tell you. As God has told us to judge not. He said that we would be judged by the same standards that we judge others. "Judge not lest you be judged" |

But if we all agree He is ONE, isn't it acceptable to have Many routes to Him? For a Christian that would be no. Christ very plainly said, "I am the way and the truth and the light. No man comes to the Father except through Me." Then in the first chapter of John it says, "In the beginning was the Word and Word was with God and the Word was God and became flesh and dwelt among us." This is what I know to be Christ. What I don't get is anti-semitism amongst some "christian". Christ is a Jew. How can you profess to love Christ and hate Jews? Too many profess one thing and practice another. I think it was Billy Graham who said, "we should preach the Gospel at all times and sometimes use words." If I am not recognised as a Christian without opening my big mouth then I am missing the mark. "They should know us by our love." |

The first rule of dating

Cry me a river. Some people see only what they want to see. I have up pictures that show me in less than flattering clothes setting in my easy chair and very clearly showing that I am greying and fluffy. But their are still some who will look only at the pictures that( I also say span a decade) that show some of my interests family and the very first thing they say is I love your long dark hair. Selective "hearing". If you are not some vain dingbat, who constantly selfies, the chances are to find a few photos that don't include others or show your hobbies; not ALL of them are going to be current. I would much rather see a out of date photo that tells me someone's priorities, or accomplishnments, than obsess on what a person exactly looks like when I am going to meet them. Selecting someone because you are in lust or love with a picture is just insanity. Right on. I only disagree in one spot, I think pictures should be current. Don't play author with a bio on the fly leaf from 15 years ago when you have grayed, became "fluffy" and lost half your teeth. That first date is a"WHAAAAT, this is not he person I thought." |

Why don't mothers teach their sons that women are not on display for them? We are all on display whether we like it or not. I liked to people watch when my ex-wife and I would go to the mall. I felt creepy going into Victoria Secret. I would sit on the bench and watch everyone. Guys looking at girls girls looking at guys and both making suggestive comments to their respective gaggle of friends. Comments were very similar, "nice butt, whoo I love is dimple, wow what boobs, love is hair, eyes" etc. Other comments not suitable for repeating from both genders. Men are definitely more visually oriented than women. If women don't want men to look then they can always wear a Burka :-) only way it will stop. To answer the question though, my intelligence and openness. What you see is what you get. |

I read a whole profile. Often I read and think, ok that's a nice picture, we have things in common, we don't live too far apart. Then I will read something like, need a god fearing woman, or a very strong woman. I know that is not me, so I move on. I don't want to be something I am not. Then I'm out! 
I know what you mean by men saying they want to meet over coffee and some come from like another country away. The god fearing folk usually want you to marry them by the end of the week, then there are others who just want fun.. um profile says relationship. I am sorry but I have age ranges on my site however some men still get up set when I don't answer back yet they claimed reading my profile...... so frustrating. I get stuff like that from women in Africa, India, and God Himself knows wyhere else. I really think they are scam scanners. |

Kat Isn't there (I should know) a place in the profile that indicates maximum distance and age range? I always look at the profile and when I see a match request from a 20-40 year old I immediately think "SCAM". The rest is just info and has no hidden meaning. I live in Mexico most of my neighbors are from Canada and 3 are from Calgary area. That is one heck of a long way to travel for coffee. This area is really a big Snowbird area. Lots of folks from cold climates come down in the winter and those from hot climates come in the summer. We don't have those seasons. It is pretty much spring time all year round. |

God is most saddened by Christians who put their selfish greed before His flock. There are too many out there who think that making money is more important than helping ordinary folk. What do you guys think? How do we know what saddens God? I read my Bible and I don't see God being saddened in the NT. We who are in Christ are holy (set apart). I can do nothing to make God love me more or less. I was forgiven on a Cross some 2,000 years ago. We oft forget that. Our sins were completely forgiven 2,000 year ago, all of them. So that means that sins we haven't committed yet are still forgiven already because the ones we have already committed were forgiven before they were committed. Now that is confusing and hard to accept. It is not the normal teaching we find in religious institutions called churches. 90% of them are Law driven and guilt driven. Don't drink alcohol. Why not? It is not forbidden anywhere in the scripture. We are told to not get drunk. We are also reminded to take a little wine for our stomachs. It wasn't grape juice, there was no such thing until Mr. Welsh invented it. Jesus turned water into wine. No not grape juice. A small fact, unpreserved fruit juice will foment quickly even refrigerated. Orange juice starts to turn in about 36 hours. Grapes with a higher sugar content will turn quicker. Bottom line is that we need to get rid of our religion and enter the relationship that we were created for. We are sons and daughters of the Most High God. For God so loved he world hat He gave His only begotten Son to die for it. Does that sound like sadness with us? I don't see it that way. http://www.churchwithoutreligion.com try taking a look at some of the teachings of Pastor Farley. |

Charity to Immigrants

If you could give any two items to any group of immigrants in the world, what would you give? Kind of a loaded question. Legal immigrants I would give the hand of welcome and aid. Illegal I would have to extend the upraised palm of "STOP", go back and try doing it right. I am an immigrant (legal). I have been aided and helped by others. Since I have lived here for 7 year and have obtained permanent residency I extend the hand of welcome and aid to those who are newer. Does that answer the question? |

The New righteousness supersedes that of the old. And we human sometimes think the old righteousness as been abolished by the LORD JESUS, or think the old commandments are no longer in existence even in our generation. In the book of Matthew gospel chapter 5 verse 17. JESUS said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matthew 5:18 KJV For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:21,22 KJV 21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:27,28 KJV 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them off old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:31,32 KJV 31. It hath been said, Whosever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:33-37 KJV 33. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34. But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35. Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36. Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh evil. Matthew 5:38,39 KJV 38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39. But I say unto you, That ye resist no evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Matthew 5:43-47 KJV 43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Farther which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Here we can see the standard of righteousness our LORD has set. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48). We must remember who Jesus was speaking to, Jews, not Gentiles. He was showing them that the Law is the way to death. Nobody (except Him) is capable of following the entire law (613 of them). He fulfilled the entirety of the Law in our stead. We are not under the law we are under GRACE. |

THE FEAR OF GOD

Just for giggles I am asking all of you to check out this website
http://churchwithoutreligion.com Then watch a few of the teachings by Pastor Andrew Farley. I watch him every Sunday morning on a live feed since I live in an area where there is only a Catholic Church, and a few rule driven Protestant churches. Just as an FYI I am graduate of Ministry School (not a Pastor). I was always in hot water for asking questions that were difficult. I watched as the congregation was shamed into giving, shamed into communion, shamed into speaking in other tongues. All under the guise of making us more holy. Have you ever heard the derogatory expression "Holier than thou?" Dumb expression because the word "holy" only means set apart. It does not mean spiritual or good, just set apart like the good china in the cupboard. Like that good china, too many of us only come out on special occasions. When we accepted Christ as our Saviour we were made holy (set apart). It is up to us what we do with that. We can go on living as we did, or make the choice to accept who we are and what we are and live accordingly. I was in the Navy. I assume some of you were also in or are in the military. We raised our hands and swore an oath and signed a contract. At that point we were "set apart" for a purpose. We could choose to embrace that purpose or not. :-) The difference is that God already has pardoned us through Christ. The government is not so forgiving. I only use this as a description of what holy really means. Do I fear God? No not really, not in the way I fear rats. rats will bite and spread disease. God loves and only wishes what is best for me. I love God. Here is a question for all who read this. Would you rather be wanted or needed? Please explain your answer. May the knowledge of the blessings of God through Christ Jesus be abundant in your life. Bill |

HOLINESS

Very nice but....slightly off the mark. The Bible is broken into two parts, The Law and then FREEDOM from the Law. The words Testament, Covenant and Will all mean the same thing. It is a contractual promise that upon death the recipient(s) shall receive their inheritance. The Gospels are, mainly, under the law. Not until Christ died was the will, covenant, testament made by God probated.
We do not live under the law, we live under grace. We don't have to continually ask for forgiveness because we were forgiven a tad over 2,000 years ago, totally. Once you accept Christ as your saviour it is done. Does this mean we go on sinning without consequences? NO! There are always consequences for all our actions. No matter what good I do God will never love me more, no matter what bad I do God will never love me less. Bottom line is that we are all Holy because we are set apart for a purpose. We can seek that purpose and perform it or not. It's just easier to remain in the purpose. There is no confession, no tithing, no rituals at all required. Read Ephesians and see what Paul says. Never never never let anyone try to pull you back under the Law. Jesus fulfilled every part of the Law. The Law was put in place to show us that we can NEVER uphold it. It is also written that if we choose to follow the Law then we must obey all 613 of them. Do any of you know what they are? Desn't matter because ignorance is no excuse. Live Free In Christ. Live the life that He died to give you. Remember that if you were the only person in the world that Christ still would have died for you. |

That was Jesus talking to Jews living under the law. As soon as you accept the fact that Christ died for you and cleansed you of all your sins the better off you will be. What sins do "all" not include.
If I were God I would have put a lot of buts in the message of Jesus. I have heard a lot of Buts from the pulpit and from law abiding (so they say) christians. We try to put God in the box built by Satan where we try to live. If God is not in the box, why do we try finding Him in there. Read the NT, not the Gospels since they are still under the law. Start in Romans and try and find what sins we haven't been forgiven for. While you're there look for what is said about tithing. :hint--nothing. This is not a license to sin. If we accept the fact that Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and then start trying to emulate Him we will find what joy is. Not happiness but joy. I will face trials and hardship in this life but (there that word is again) when I breath my last and stand before the Judge an He asks me, "Why should I let you in My presence?" I will remain mute and my brother, Jesus, will answer, "Pop this is one of mine." Sentence has already been carried out and I am free. |

Am I Saved
|

I have felt at times in the past that maybe I wasn't saved. Then a great brother told me not to worry, look up Romans ten and ask yourself did I do this. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. You literally have to come to the realization that Christ died for you and everyone. It will make you wonder, what in the world was i waiting for. JOHN 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Only faith "full belief" in Jesus Christ can provide salvation. Ask in your own way this is just a guide. "Dear heavenly Father I am sorry Christ had to take the punishment that I deserve." "I ask you Christ that you please forgive me of all my sins. I thank you Lord for your wonderful grace and forgiveness. After your done tell a pastor at a Christian Church that you have asked Christ for Salvation and go to Sunday school you'll find fellowship to be a great help as you grow as a Christian. I have been a Christian for about 38 years. Until recently I bought into the teachings from the pulpit and graduated from Ministry School. I always had some questions and was always chastised for asking. The church doesn't like difficult questions. God, on the other hand, welcomes them. Ephesians is a good place to start. I am gong to make a statement that will garner some ire. The New Testament start is not with Matthew 1:1. Look up the meaning of Testament, Covenant, and Will. They are all the same. If I write a Last Will and Testament (redundant) it does not become valid until I die. Who made the promise of a New testament God did. He had to die for it to become valid. Most of the Gospels are jesus talking to Jews and explaining that the Law does not save you it shows that you can't be saved because you can't follow all 613 rules. He died to fulfill that law and we are not living under the law. What is a big deal in the Church? Tithing, yet it is not scriptural according to the New Testament. The last place where tithing is demanded is in Malachi. Praying daily for forgiveness is useless. You were forgiven 2,000 years ago. That means that your future sins are forgiven before you commit them. Back to the NT. Over 99% of it is in Acts - Revelation. Most of that actually starts in Romans. We should study the OT because it re enforces the teaching of Jesus of the futility of trying to live by the Law. "All have sinned nd fall short of the Glory of God. But if you confess your sins you shall be cleansed of all unrighteousness." Only has to be done once. It would be stupid for me to for ask my parents to make me again. It was done once for all time. Same thing with God. He saved you through the sacrifice of Jesus once for all time. |

Character of the SON of God
|

He is a King, a Lion and the Lamb of God and our Judge and our Creator...He is God like His Father. Jesus fought unbelievers and cleansed the Temple from business men...lol He also said BOLDLY that people will get to hell. This was His message and this is His MESSAGE. He also called by "bad" words some unbelievers: He called unbelievers as DOGS!!! and swine and foxes!! He replied, "Go tell that fox, 'I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' Luke 13:32 NOTE: Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees "fools, hypocrites, blind guides, whited sepulchers, murderers, a generation of snakes," and many such epithets. Jesus called them "hypocrites" seven times in one chapter. He spoke with scathing derision to the Scribes and Pharisees throughout His ministry; very few of them received a kind word from Him. Do any believe Jesus was referencing farm animals when He said not to cast pearls or give what is holy to "the DOGS and PIGS?" Jesus referred to the recalcitrant Jewish leaders as, "an EVIL and ADULTEROUS generation," "SERPENTS and SNAKES," and "children of the DEVIL." Why He even told the Scribes and Pharisees regarding the royal and mighty King Herod: "Go ye, and tell that FOX [that JACKAL]…" WOE unto you, ye BLIND GUIDES… You FOOLS AND BLIND… You SERPENTS, you GENERATION OF SNAKES… you KILL AND CRUCIFY… you SCOURGE in your synagogues… Behold your house is left unto you DESOLATE"!! This is the TRUE Jesus...not kind but He is JUSTICE! He is the God of Justice and our Judge during the Judgement Day that is why He will CONDEMN people for their crimes and send them to the LAKE of FIRE! You should know this Jesus and read the Bible DAILY to IMPLEMENT it and be like HE is! Look how God will judge christians soon too: "For the time is come that JUDGMENT must begin at The House of God…" (I Pet. 4:17). From the Church...i.e. christians! "Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do THESE [these vessels of dishonor in God’s House] also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the truth. But they shall proceed [Gk: ‘increase, advance, grow’] no further [Just as Jannes and Jambres could resist God only so far and no further, so too, will these corrupt-minded reprobates in God’s House cease to deceive God’s church, when God makes all secrets known to all]: for their folly shall be manifest unto all, as theirs [Jannes & Jambres] was." (II Tim. 3:8-9). Notice this warning: "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you (CHRISTIANS!!!), not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:29-30). "…there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [smuggle] shall bring in damnable heresies…" (II Pet. 2:1). "Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS [Gk: ‘imposters’] SHALL WAX [grow] WORSE AND WORSE, deceiving, and being deceived" (II Tim. 3:13). And just who is it that grows "worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived?" The men and women of the world? The pagans and heathens? Is this what Paul means? Of course not. These are the leaders of the Church. "Preach the word; [the WHOLE Word of God]; be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine [Who? The world? The pagans? The atheist? Why they have never had sound doctrine in the first place] but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (II Tim. 4:2-4). God commands us ALWAYS: "Cry ALOUD, SPARE NOT, lift up your voice like a TRUMPET, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins" (Isa. 58:1). "Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us SMOOTH things, prophesy DECEITS" (Isa. 30:10). I would rather sound a little angry or sarcastic than to teach smooth and deceitful things. Even Isaiah used colorful language, "speak unto us smooth things." "Then began He [Jesus] to UPBRAID [Greek: oneidizo] the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not" (Matt. 11:20). "Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE [Greek: oneidizo] you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you FALSELY, for my sake" (Matt. 5:11). HOW JESUS ‘UPBRAIDED’ THE CITIES? "‘Why are you asking Me this question? Ask those who heard me. You have some of them here. They know what I said.’ One of the soldiers standing there struck Jesus WITH HIS FIST. ‘Is THAT THE WAY to answer the High Priest?’ he demanded" (John 18:21-22, The Living Bible). One of the guards felt Jesus was so contemptuous and out of line, that he slapped Jesus in the mouth with the palm of his hand and told Him to WATCH HIS MOUTH when speaking to the High Priest! The guard was letting Jesus know in no uncertain terms that one does not speak to such a dignified person as the High Priest with such a demeaning tone of voice! …because AS He [Jesus] is, SO ARE WE in this world" (I John 4:17), "Let this MIND be IN YOU, which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 2:5)? Do u know why we should be like Jesus? Because we HATE sins like Jesus and LOVE people. Remember that my friend. "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matt. 10:34). "For THE WORD OF GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any TWO-EDGED SWORD, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Heb. 4:12). CHRIST DEMANDS MORE THAN EQUAL LOVE!!!! "He that loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me" (Matt. 10:37). JESUS CALLS THE JEWS WOLVES "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves…" (Matt. 10:16). "But He answered and said unto them, Why do YOU ALSO transgress the commandments of God by YOUR TRADITIONS?… You HYPOCRITES…" (Matt. 15 & 7). "They PROFESS that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being ABOMINABLE, and DISOBEDIENT, and unto every good work REPROBATE" (Titus 1:16). ABOMINABLE, DISOBEDIENT, REPROBATE! Are these words strong enough to make Paul’s point? Many, many pastors of the Church profess that they LOVE GOD; they profess that they LOVE THEIR NEIGHBORS; then even profess that they LOVE THEIR ENEMIES, but in works they deny Him: "Therefore when you do your alms, do not SOUND A TRUMPET before you, as the hypocrites do in the SYNAGOGUES and in the STREETS, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward" (Matt. 6:2). "Give not that which is holy unto the DOGS, neither cast your pearls before SWINE, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and REND you [‘tear you in pieces’ Goodspeed Translation]" (Matt. 7:6). "It is not meet to take the children’s bread and to cast it to DOGS." This is the TRUE Jesus! Remember Him. Wow!! Nothing about unbounded love. Would you suffer for folks who didn't know you like He did? I wouldn't. God is love and He so loves us that He became man to become the ultimate sacrifice for "ALL" our sins. Think about that, He died for your sins and you hadn't committed any yet. There is no cost to us because He paid the bill. We only have to accept Him for who and what He is, Lord, Saviour, King, Messiah and most importantly our brother by adoption. Just and FYI. Do yu understand the meaning of the words testament, covenant, and will? They are a promise of an inheritance upon the death of the bequeather. The New Testament did not start with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem but with His death in Jerusalem. Jesus spoke to Jews and explained why the law was not to save but to condemn. There are 631 rules for not sinning. We are saved from the law not because of it. |

I have had 30 year olds email me saying that they want me. I have grandchildren that age. If I was a complete idiot (like the character in 10th Kingdom) I would be salivating and looking for a house sitter and heading on out. Who ever said "Yeah they want your pants off because that's where the cash is," is absolutely correct. A 50 year old has as much in common with a 20sh as an Edsel with a 2015 BMW. I don't care what you "think" your libido is, there is more than just sex in a relationship. Do you realize that she doesn't know what a cassette player is, or a VCR. Never heard of Humphrey Bogart or Lauren Bacall. Wouldn't know Clem Kaddlehopper from Justin Beber. Unless you are deaf and mute I would stick to women and leave the girls to the boys.
