“ Listen - Might Be Life Changing To Those Who Think 12-Step Is The Answer ” A great discussion! I have been attending SAA and OA for many years. However, after the Lord worked a miracle in me (Salvation), I have slowly begun to see 12-step essentially sets up another religion in your life and this is idolatry. In my group, it is common for people to gently scoff when someone enters the group and mentions that God did not cure their addiction. The reality is few people are actually exposed to the real Gospel, even in the Bible Belt, and true biblical repentance isn’t taught. In fact, sin is hardly mentioned. So when someone claims that praying to God didn’t help them, they are actually admitting their version of therapeutic moralistic deism didn’t work. Of course it didn’t - it’s a false Gospel. Anyway, please go to the Apologia radio website and sign up to their Academy. Learn, bath in the real gospel and biblical truth. God is faithful - He will deal with you exactly where you are at.
“ GREAT Prophetizing by Dr. James White ” Excellent comments about CNN and OBAMA and the entire American Media & Press Racket.
This was in 2009 on Inauguration Day for Obama. James White's comments are extremely correct, predictive and prophetic of the lies, hatred, and complete God-less-ness of our Nation's Elected Officials, News Media, Hollywood and the powers & principalities in charge of running the Country.
Dr. White hit the nail right on head with his comments and could not have been more on target about how Obama's Administration was setting up to be run, and how CNN & the rest of their ilk were setting up to continually report Lies & Fake News 24 hours around the clock.
Now after having lived through the entire 8 years of Obama administration Racketeering, we see that Dr. White was clearly seeing the future back then in 2009.
Even now as we approach 2020, we live thru the remnants of this still in the form of the Deep State & entire Media Mafia working together.
The False Prophet & The Beast, with false religion together with government and media (TV,radio,press,internet,hollywood).
They now have joined together to rid the world of all True Christians & God-liness.
and it will only get worse.
We Must pray non-stop to Our Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit for this nation and O
