But he will be made an example of. Let's see if the church is really important to people, as someone stated below, you can post John MacArthur links all you want, but if you don't support him now, your actions speak louder than words.

And people here are upset that I call western christianity a mess, when the standards are already set by these brethren.

I wish more could be done for them, I guess many Korean Pentacostal churches already do their best to reach them, and pray for them, praise God for that!

What most people don't know, all those bibles in thousands of languages? They are paraphrases, similiar to the new living translation or the message.

Without a biblical education/tradition it's hard to understand many of the Bible concepts, therefore a paraphrase is required.
Here are some examples in my life:

A japanese person will not understand "love my neighbor"

A chinese person does not want to turn into a real bright shinning star that someday will blow out, like mentioned in Daniel:

On this easter day I won't answer any your questions, but I do want all of us to be like that donkey, On Palm Sunday, the donkey was merely a Christ-bearer, bringing the Son of God into the city where He would give His life for the sins of the world.

Infact, I would not be on this site full of thousands of great christian servants/preachers both ancient and modern alike.

Are you upset because I support easter, sometimes considered a pagan holiday? I have my reasons for following the scriptures, easter is just a modern name, what I really celebrate is passover and the feasts of Israel, not looking at moses who is just a shadow, but Christ in those feasts.

Or is it because I do not support the chinese underground church? I have my reasons for that, one being that the underground church is not a denomination and is filled with all sorts of sick doctrines.

Lastly it has to be the new "keyboard generation" of Christians who think they can fight the spiritual war through social media, on anti-christian platforms, instead of doing through their local church. It might seem like a bigger reach, but the impact is not. Virtual friends are not friends.

I was encouraged by what I learned during passover that the Lamb was supposed to be eaten on the very day, so that it would not rot and spoil and "see corrupton". Christ as the passover lamb is the most important thing in my life recently.

We are allowed to worship the word of God, because Jesus is the living word of God.

We are allowed to stalk our lord during the passion week.

Kirk Cameron is a wonderful servant of God, whose movie "Fireproof" did so much good for the world. To call him a liberal and works based is simply a lie from hell. To call him greedy and opportunistic is also a lie. You both have committed great sins, "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? (Job 38:2 ESV)

Here is my advice to anyone who wants to be humbled by God, a prayer that He always answers, and so few actually pray it:

With that said, Osteen is known as a motivational speaker, it's a reputation he rightfully earned, his place is known to give comfortable words to relieve worldly anxiety.

agree or disagree with him, he worked hard to earn this reputation.
