God's words....the truth
Jesus is our salvation
He is known as the word
God's words...the truth
If we know the truth,
the truth will set us free.
The word of Jehovah God is sharp like sword
With power and authority.
Men don't live by bread alone
They live by God's words...the truth
If we speak the truth, God lives with us
If we lie, we are speaking the words
of the evil ones, father of all liars.
May God's words...the truth
be with us in our hearts
and our life for always.
Christian brothers & sisters, please help to spread the good news of God !

I sent you no emails big boy. My God and me have nothing to do with your problems..so the ignorance might be on your part for commenting on someones life whom you have no idea of. That aside its obvious i don't have to find anything valid in your claim that im ignorant when you quite clearly haven't read anything in this post with so much as a ...... of thought.
I would hardly call faith in God comfort in that sense buddy. I might be more comfortable in thinking there was no purpose in life and sex and drugs are enjoyable so i should maybe just stick to that till i die..of no purpose..hopefully i have fun..but whats fun. There is no comfort in that sense in life with God or without. It's very hard to take comfort in humanity lol just imagine taking comfort in the divine?! Fear of death is avoiding it..as a Catholic im more so forced to accept death then i am to be in ignorance of it.

Faith is in the heart and through experience we grow in the existance of believe, in a bigger and brighter source that inwhich gives us strength.
Life doesn't come in a manual guide, we all try to reach that state of perfection. The battle within ourselfs of good and bad. Yet in times we are ignorant. We seek to the higher source for a light of truth and comfort.
To live life in faith is a strong emotion we all feel in our lives, Whatever the faith is , there is power sitting right with it.
Faith is always challenging us, a test of how far we may go to reach that purpose. Faith is what is always testing us. When you got faith
stay strong in it and let carrie you through.

What to do?!
I want to share this not to boast about how Good i am, because i am not perfect and would never tell such lies.
Today i had to go to the city and on the way back i was on the train to fairfield. Everything was pretty normal and then this young girl walked up to me and asked for $2 or something and said she was living on the street and doing it tough. I had about $2 and some silver on me but that was all, because work gave me a cheque GRrrrr! Anyways i told her i had nothing because i was gona use the money to catch the bus home. She then asked the girl on the other side of me who seemed like she was quite comfortable financialy etc in life but she replied "no sorry". Nothing shook me until the girl said "No one gives a ••••" then she walked off.
I sat there twiddling my thumbs thinking about why we wont give her money etc. I thought i could help this girl i could walk home, this girl had no where to sleep however and i didnt dare to think about food or family as well. I was thinking next time i will go and help them, but part of me said you'll always say this but never do it! Five-ten minutes would of passed by now and i was telling myself its too late shes probably even got off the train or i won't find her coz i don't even know what she really looks like. However, i forced myself up walked through the carriages to find her at the very end counting some money and i said to her "Hey, why do you live on the street for?" to which she replied "Why do you wana know" i said "im curious" She told me that her bf beat her up and left her on the streets with nothing. So i gave her my $2 and whatever other change i had and told her i was sorry i couldnt give her more because i recently got fired and they'd given me a cheque instead of cash. She thanked me and i told her to take care and walked back to my seat. I didn't feel like i'd saved this girls life, but at the time i remembered the story of the poor family who gave the last crumb of bread to another, which was all they had.
I guess people don't give people like this money because they don't think it will help...well if you don't think it will help the least you can do is ask them respectfuly what the situation is and How you can help. I could of talked to her alot more told her about Gods Salvation or whatever but i doubt it would of meant much to her at the time. Instead i hope i evangelised her through actions alone, that in me she might of seen just a flicker of Hope.. God  She could of been lying although my heart tells me otherwise it doesn't matter if the money does not help perhaps the act can shine some ray of light into her life.
Don't sit back in your comfort zone because all people are just as equal as you and me. How can you sit back when you know you are perfectly able to help them in whatever way possible. There are plenty of people like this i'd palmed off in my life and i hope this is a start to me never doing such things again!
I shall not want, but i shall give everything i have away. If you don't give anything away how can you expect to get anything. You cant have a bank account and never deposit money in it expecting to get interest..so how can you want everything if you don't give anything.

I was debating on what topic to put this on, but i think sharing the Faiths close enough.
Last night i felt terrified all of a sudden [this was around 9pm] a deep sadness seemed to overwhelm me, i even started to cry [im not much of a cryer] I asked for a couple of my friends to pray for me and one of them asked if i had anything to repent of or maybe forgive someone else for. I couldn't think of anything, i'd been good this week and all my past sins i have already gone to confession for. I was asked even if it were a little thing..and i thought hmm nothing except i haven't told my mother i got fired from my job on wednesday. I shook it off and drove home really sad and terrefied, and i sat down in my room and just thought hmm screw it i will tell my mother it can't be that bad. See last time i gave up my job she was angry with me and kept telling me i'd screwed up my life for months afterwards. I guess you could say i was afraid of hurting her etc.. But at my youth group that night there was a talk on honesty and confessing making right of things in your life. That little thing seemed to be a huge thing in Gods eyes, and i only realised that after because the sadness went away and joy shinned in me just like a flash as soon as i told my mum. Well, i just thought id share that with whoever is interested
MiCk.

The exact point of when life is created according to the Catholic church Satan Inc. is when the sperm enters the womb. This would explain why they are against abortion etc

God could have made this world in an infinate number of ways============
He could have made man from an infinite number of clays===========
But I believe he made the best of all possible worlds=================
As I think of improvments I would make-----I see a fallacy in my plan for it would not be a good world unfurreled
=================================
you design a better world---discribe it in words to me----and tell me how it could possibly be---and i will point out your fallacy
Currently I am working on a 1500 acre tract in Tenn and need CALTALPA seeds to replant and help create the bio-diversity that existed before this area was cut for timber and agriculture also I need TURKS HEAD oak acorns ----any help will be appeciated by mother nature------currently the deer and wild turkey are in large numbers and the project is 80 % complete===a large lake is full of bass and pan fish-----but the beaver are in excess supply

My personal definition is having sex outside of love. I believe the only love rightful enough to have sex in is marriage. A true marriage holds what most people want in a relationship before they have sex with them. Commitment just seems to scare people a bit because theres alot of work involved. Honestly i don't believe sex is any good outside of marriage..even having unfortunately experienced this for myself.
Yet everyone says those daunting words "i love you forever babe" Well actions speak louder than words, if people really meant this they would ask you to marry them! These are my personal beliefs though they are similar to the churches.
Basicaly if you can not offer eternal love to someone what right do you have to fornicate with them?!
In my mind; none at all.

Well when sex is not abused That eternal Love for one another can be viewed as the miracle that brings life. Otherwise i'd just say the fact that whoever made us [i believe that to be God] Blessed us with the gift. God tells us to multiply and be fruitful. Some seem to forget the fruitful part and just multiply though :\
I will take a deep breath and step out into the void as Satanic Inc opened the door...What is your definition of sexual abuse??

My apollogies Satan.Inc, to be honest i actually had to double check whether i knew what it meant lol..i had a fair idea but nothing to assure me 100%. But after having checked www.dictionary.com lol
I don't see God as a God of oppression or Harsh rule, no. Since i truely believe God has made us all as a whole equal, no i don't think that makes him a tyrant. I think its pure genius to have people each really good at different things, it shows why it is important for us to be in union with each other. So many people think they can answer all their problems..Well you can't lol sorry, but tis true. You can be a really Good doctor, but you cant honestly be a really good doctor who can do everything for himself. As a doctor you save lives sure, but who will operate on you? Who will build your house? Who will gather/kill food for you to eat?
The hardest thing to accept in life is we are never alone in anything we do, there is always someone who is or has or will go through exactly the same thing we are dealing with. Is God a tyrant for making us all work together in cummunion with each other? Nope. God is a God of love who makes us work together because he knows we need each other! If we could do everything and be the best at it we wouldn't need a God to love us..we could love ourselves and that would be enough.

I like your second question; i don't know.. Why does God give some blonde hair and blue eyes, and others brunette and brown eyes?
One thing i can tell you though is that God definitely teaches us that as a whole we are all equal! We all have different talents and skills. I really believe that if they were never abused people would have nothing to be envious of and we'd be alot closer to realising that we are all equal to each other, all made in the image and likeness of God. So if you hate anyone or hold any grudge, how can you Love God?
Im going off topic, but thats all i can think of on the matter for now..hope it helps your curiosity Satan.Inc

As for being humble, i really urge you to take a closer look into the life of Pope john paul the 2nd and the first! Im sure what your dad was meaning is that when the priest or bishop, pope etc is saying a mass he is not to be looked upon as a mere mortal. Why? Because we believe at these special moments in time we are seeing the true image of Christ as God reveals it to us. We are not saying the person is God or even level with him, but that God will reveal himself to us by taking over man in parts of the mass. That is why when a priest is giving the mass he is not looked upon as the priest but Christ himself.
I ask you to read the Bible and look closely at where Jesus gives authority from his Father to the Apostles. The apostles were men nothing more..God obviously knew they were imperfect but He still gave them the authority..WHY?
Well i personally believe Jesus gave them the authority because they were chosen by God to act in the presence of Christ. They were to be the remaining image of Christ on Earth. The are not REPLACING but REPRESENTING Christ! The apostles had the authority to pass this to other men in Gods name and sealed approval also.
There are a Huge amount of misconceptions about the Catholic Church, just as there is about any other religion or christian group. I think the best thing to do is to look for the true facts; not buy into any rumours or half truths that anyone gives you.

I'm not offended, I simply disagree.
I could never understand and am to this day at a loss as to why my father (a rigidly catholic man) was so intent on brainwashing me into believing that certain men have the holiness of God.
I don't for a moment believe that any man or woman on earth is more 'holy' than I am. we are all just mortals. we are all just sinners. Some have come to know god better than others, but these are the people who put themselves last and who are eternally humble. not the ones who are bowed to, prayed to, and who wear ridiculous robes and live in castles when people all over the world are dying through poverty.
In my church, we have religious teachers who's only authority over anyone else is that they have studied the bible and can project God's message to the masses.
In a catholic church, the priest stands in an ornate pulpit and, raised high above the congregation, delivers a tired and rehearsed dialogue.
in the churches of scotland, The minister (there is a significant difference between a priest and a minister) stands infront of a congregation on the same floor as them. the churches are plainer- less riches and finery. The minister wears plain black. this all shows that the ONLY authority in our christianity is Jesus- not the clergy, not the building, and not the church organisation.
I simply don't believe in adulating man's authority and 'traditions' being placed on a par with G od's- for man is and always has been corrupt.

God passed down such traditions according to the Catholic church via Jesus and his Apostles. Alot of people forget that God did in fact give certain authority to some men! This is clearly visable in the Bible. God tells the apostles what they bind on earth will be binded in heaven. So the debate over whether man can institute such things without God actually literally being here in all his glory doing it himself..its summed up pretty well in the Bible. God clearly does give such authority to some chosen men. Now these chosen men can also pass down such authority to other men. From this you will begin to see where the Catholic Church actually get their ideas and beliefs upon this issue.
To say that any of these men put themselves equal with God is far from the truth though because they are always under God and never even consider being above or level with Him.
Jesus Taught the Apostles and the Apostles have taught us, they have even added stuff with Gods permission. Often people hear the word tradition and assume it comes from man. But, read a little bit closer and you will see that the authority given to such men from God is sealed with his approval. Jesus actually made some of the very first traditions of the church i.e the passover.. Baptism etc From then on the Apostles set alot of traditions [with the authority to do so] These were passed down to man. And yes we do believe that man with this authority still live to this day. I mean it would be perfectly logical to believe that such authority was passed down through the ages.. From God to man. Not man to man!
I share this to give some light into what the Catholics believe, if it offends you tis not my intention..im only talking about my own Faith shared in the Catholic Church.

"The Catholic Church takes all meaning given to them by the Holy Spirit throught he word of God, but they also have the history of Jesus and his followers and this is what the Catholics call Tradition. Not man made traditions, but Traditions passed down from God, such as the way to say mass etc"
hmmm, I haven't studied theology but I do study philosophy and it seems to me that what you call 'tradition' is what id call man-made extras.
the bible is something that i accept on faith to be the work of God. That is my leap of faith- ie, i cannot prove it to someone who does not share my view, but I believe it nonetheless. We all have our own leaps of faith- for the fact is that no one knows anything for sure.
having said that, i tihnk it's a worrying idea that catholicism feels so much liberty to add concepts and practices that have no grounding in that one thing that all christians really are certain came from God- that is, the bible.
When did God pass down the tradition of saying mass in the 'correct' way?
