Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
Quote:
Saw a churchmember defeat cancer when I was a kid. Had a student healed of partial blindness in one eye after prayer, to the point where her eye hurt due to the sudden influx of light she was seeing in her healed eye. I myself had a torn hamstring heal in two steps after a series of prayers and a decision to "agree with the healing". Had a colleague who was suddenly healed of a chronic back issue after prayer. I personally survived numerous car accidents and life-threatening illness. Had a completely non-functioning DAT player (holding the only copy of a vital mix-tape), literally start working after a quick prayer. In 1999 my Dad went into a 3 month coma after acute pancreatitis. The family all wrote him off for dead. I believed while there's life there's hope, and prayerfully had full faith he would survive. He is still alive today. I've been healed of a voice-ruining virus a day after onset, after a night of prayer and repentance. I've had a very very close friend healed of an incurable eye condition, after I spent days walking the streets of Nashville praying for their healing. (I tried "praying in tongues" during these walks too.... which changed my faith, but that's another story) I had another very close friend healed of depression and get off drugs, while I myself have been cured of depression within minutes. As small as it may seem, I even had a floating and sick fish that my wife and brother presumed past all hope, return to full health after I earnestly prayed for it! I've had carspaces in New York city appear, found things, got through situations, sung well despite throat problems, gotten through migranes... the list of quick answers to prayer is as long as my life. I even had two mugging situations, one in Sydney, where I got a sudden sense of danger and started running, only to hear a chase and "you're dead muthaf*****" behind me; and another in Brooklyn where I was held up by two guys, who had my wallet, and were still heading towards me, completely reverse after I screamed out "Jesus help me brother" (why am I calling him my brother...?) *bang* they threw the wallet at my feet and said "take your s*** man" and ran off. Jesus saves me every day man. |

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
Moderators in moderation, please
And Variol, it does happen. Some Christians do take radical steps every day, and get condemned by other people. Look at the Westboro Baptists. Evil gits they are, and they still have the audacity to call themselves christians. Well, yes, they believe in christ, but they've missed out on the kindness and compassion bits.

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
They're the ones who like to protest at the funerals of homosexuals, and claim that the tragedies that occur in the world must have happened to the people they happened to as an act of God's retribution. IMO they're full of it. I have my judgemental moments, actually I have a lot of them, but nothing on par with them.
They apparently overlook little verses like Romans 3:23. And quite a few others.

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
Variol you left that a little open to interpretation. Intervene in what, and how?

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
Sorry, I was referring to anyone who does the sort of thing they do, or anything else that goes against our beliefs.
I don't feel it's right to just sit there and point a finger. We only hurt ourselves. I was not referring to the passage.

Re: Remember that Dutch comic about Mohamad?
As much as I disagree with what those fellas do, you can't say that you have an obligation to intervene with anything that goes against your beliefs
