I don't think you can count me in. I never did accept Christianity and dropped out of Sunday School after going about three or four times.

Nope. I guess I have always been agnostic since the third grade. bigsmile

Before that, it was just me and Santa Clause.laugh laugh




were you baptized in snow? did you give santa your heart? were you "born again" through the power of christmas? bigsmile

ok jellybean - i was not counting on you to answer this one. but you will answer the next one i'm sure - laugh laugh laugh laugh




"...and don't criticize what you can't understand "huh


by Mr. Bob Dylan smokin drinker smokin


who are you addressing miss R ???




i was addressing you Mr T. :smile:


please don't make fun noway

of the things some of us hold sacred...:heart:


by BOB DYLAN

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.






hmmm??

i find that interesting you would use the lyrics from bob dylan - a jewish poet/songster that became saved, born again, and then walked away from it for much the same reasons i did? odd huh?

why do you think that is rapunzel??





you are the only one who has told me that...

i have not heard that from any other sources...

not that i am an expert on Bob Dylan's daily thoughts...

I believe he still has faith , as does Van Morrison,

Connie Seleca, John Tesh, and many many more...

many who have attained all kinds of recognition & earthly gain


all the things that mortal man finds to be so desirable

and yet all of that earthly wealth & fame

wasn't enough for them...

after all of the accolades from worldly sources...


they still have faith in Jesus Christ as Lord...drinker

they still believe in

Something & Someone greater than they are ....drinker


why do you suppose that is???...Mr. T huh

Do You Know These Famous Christians? (Part 1)
I have lately been ministering in the Houston area. But I send warm greetings to all my friends and neighbors around Livingston and Segno.

In recent years, a lot of famous people have become Christians. These days, when most celebrities are so self-centered and hedonistic, it is important to know which of them stand up for God and provide wholesome entertainment. Though I cannot necessarily vouch for their lifestyles or depth of commitment, here are a few of the well-known celebrities who profess faith in Jesus Christ:

Glen Campbell says that he prayed all his life, but he suffered from alcohol abuse and broken marriages until truly committing himself to the Lord a few years ago. Now he is a faithful member of a Baptist church in Phoenix.

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans became Christians decades ago. Dale was raised in church, but was a Hollywood singer and actress before she truly accepted Christ. Roy told her that that was all right for her, but not to expect him to join her. Roy loved to visit sick children in hospitals wherever he went. He always wondered how God could allow the innocent to suffer, and held it against him. Nevertheless, The Holy Spirit touched Roy's heart and he was converted not long after Dale. I will say more about Roy and Dale in Part 2.

Everyone knows that Pat Boone is a Christian. But as I have heard the story, Pat went with movie star Joanne Dru to witness to her husband, singer **** Haymes, on his deathbed, where he accepted Christ.

Other movie stars who are Christians include Rhonda Fleming; Mickey Rooney; Clifton Davis; Jane Russell; Dean Jones, who appeared in so many great Disney movies like "The Love Bug" and "The Shaggy D.A."; and actress and model Jennifer O'Neill.

In television, we have Demond Wilson ("Lamont Sanford"); Donna Douglas ("Ellie May Clampett"); "Rerun" from "What's Happening?"; Nancy Stafford of "Matlock"; MASH's Gary Burghoff ("Radar O'Reilly"); singer/dancer/actress Carol Lawrence, once married to Robert Goulet; Lisa Whelchel of "The Facts of Life"; and David Suchet, who plays Hercule Poirot on the PBS series "Mystery."

Gavin McLeod, Captain Stubing on "The Love Boat," and his wife now have their own show on TBN.

Singer Noel Paul Stookey of "Peter, Paul, and Mary" became a Christian at the height of the group's fame, and wrote his famous wedding song with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

After getting saved, country singer Barbara Fairchild quit singing and concentrated on going to church. But one day her husband told her, "When I first met you, you were the sweetest person I'd ever known. But since you got religion you're the most selfish wretch I've ever seen." He said, "If every time a person becomes a Christian, he or she refuses to go where the people don't know about God, who's going to tell them?" (Guideposts, July 1991).

Sometimes Christians focus too much on their own needs and spiritual development and become self-centered. Barbara realized that this had happened to her, and got busy again.

Other well-known musicians who are Christians include Philip Bailey, once lead singer for "Earth, Wind, and Fire"; Glen Leonard of the Temptations; Willie Lewis of "The Platters"; Smokey Robinson; James Brown; and Broadway star Jody Benson, who was the voice of "The Little Mermaid."

Cartoonist Johnny Hart, who draws the popular comic strip "B.C.," is apparently a devout Christian, judging from the content of many of his strips.

In Part 2, I will mention a lot more celebrities, sports figures in particular, who profess Christ as Savior.

Where is Jeffery Dahmer right now? If you believe that salvation is by faith alone, he is in Heaven, because on May 10th, 1994 he was baptized and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior.

Can you imagine anyone who deserves to be in Hell more than Jeffery Dahmer? But he believed and was baptized, so to heaven he goes, to sit at the right hand of God.

But what about the non-christian victims of Jeffery Dahmer? They go to hell to burn forever because they were "heathens".

What about the Son of Sam (serial killer David Berkowitz)? He is born again, and will go sit with Jesus. What about Adolf Hitler? He was a fanatical Christian.

But Albert Einstein, Andrew Carnegie, Albert Schweitzer, Carl Sagan, Thomas Edison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, and countless other humanitarians will burn and suffer agonizing and eternal torture (by a God who loves us), not just for a long time, but forever.

I was taught, when I was a young child that good people go to heaven, and bad people are punished and they go to hell.

That's just not what the bible says. We are doomed to hell and eternal torture because of the Fall From Grace- the eating of a piece of fruit, not Sin.

So much for Christian justice.

This is why so many people are drawn to Christianity. It is because they want forgiveness and acceptance, no matter what horrible things they have done in their life to others.

That is the attraction I believe.

But the (Christian) women are not allowed to preach the gospel.

"Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor." ..........Timothy 2:11"



I'm glad I'm not Christian. I don't have to follow those rules. smokin
