Many of you guys have said that Mormons don't believe in the same Jesus. This is utter hyperbole! They worship the same God, but in a slightly different way. I never said that they were perfect in their theology, but they are not a cult. Just because they believe in some slightly different things does not mean that they're a cult. And by the way, only the extreme fringe of Mormonism believes in the whole men becoming gods thing.

Dear Strat,
So you don't wan't secure borders? You want illegals, drug dealers, and terrorists alike to be able to just waltz right into our country? I don't think so. Maybe it's just me but I like the idea of not finding American citizens stuffed in tree trunks on our end of the border. I don't like the idea of people who are not citizens voting on important political issues like who gets in the oval office. But maybe that's just me.

Well you'll have to take that up with your fellow American posters who keep me informed about the sad state of the church over there, and that some of them to attend a decent church would have to spend most of the Lord's Day travelling.
Dispies claim that in the very last days there will be a general falling away of the church as it nears the end of the church age before the millennium. I guess they are happy to see it.
However, according to the word, we are given everything we need for a spiritual life, the power of the Holy Ghost is unchanged (because he is God), therefore a need for revival is an admission that we as the church are fallen down somewhere, and need to repent.
I do know that God has said in the past that his people were more concerned with their own houses than with HIS house, and that they needed to repent of this. I don't see any harm in pointing that out. Especially as some may think about it and turn around back to God.

Diversionary tactics, eh? Must have hit a button.
I wonder how many "believers" are going on expensive cruises this summer, or a two week visit to the holy land, when the poor pastor has to mow his own lawn to save costs. Or the mission has to return home for lack of funds.
In the old days, believers were so spiritual that faith ministries were fully supported by self-denying Christians, because they regarded mission as a priority.
How did you think missionaries ate, Strat?

But hey lets here about all the great things John is doing that qualify him to say that others are not doing them,these days it is often those who are riding in the cart who complain about there not being enough people pulling it.

I don't know any Christians going on expensive cruses and why should a pastor or anyone else not cut their own grass ?

But yes, it is being done to finish us off. I'm inclined that China will buy out the land of the Midwest and west and put their investments there. There are no watchmen at the towers anymore.
Agenda 21 full speed ahead.
I would guess that the military would be more than glad to secure the border and would be able to do so in short order.

Proceeds belong to God ? then why do people like you feel qualified to covet and take control over them then,each man and woman will stand before God to give an account....but not to you....high and noble talk on the internet is chaep,just make sure you are doing what you are supposed to be doing and don't worry about what others are doing with broad generalizations.

"Studd emphasised the life of faith, believing that God would provide for a Christian's needs. His father died while he was in China, and he gave away his inheritance of £29,000, specifying £5,000 to be used for the Moody Bible Institute, £5,000 for George Müller mission work and his orphans, £5,000 for George Holland's work with England's poor in Whitechapel, and £5,000 to Commissioner Booth Tucker for the Salvation Army in India." wiki
C T Studd, a worthwhile read, compared to the hedonistic Christians of today, who seem to have no care for the poor nor the lost.

The enemy is the individual or family that has prepared it's self for life with education and hard work,that family in the nice home in the suburbs living a life that others lust after but do not have the character,determination or work ethic to achieve,but do have the character sufficient to try and steal.
