Brother, we all look different. I'm short and ugly, but I have no problem in witnessing to tall, good looking folks. However, I am somewhat partial to the short and ugly folks.  

Me too!  Course that's namely because I am short and ugly!  Did I mention bald too?  Hey!  Bald is beautiful!

Anyways, I'm saved.  That means that I've been redeemed with the blood of Jesus, my sin debt has been paid in full.  I am born again.  That means that my once dead spirit was quickened at my salvation - hence, born again.  I was born of flesh, then of spirit, and indwelt with the Holy Spirit.

Oklahoma Howdy to Allinall,

AMEN BROTHER! The joy, peace, and assurance of SALVATION is the biggest GIFT anyone could possibly receive. Thanks be unto God for HIS unspeakable GIFT.

----------------------

On a light note:  I think that short people should unite and demand equal rights. We're tired of tall people stealing our sunlight and diminishing the air quality before we get it. What do you think - THE SHORT PEOPLE LIBERATION MOVEMENT?  

In Christ,
Tom

Well, I have to be honest here and say that I love Him every day of the week, and every day is like a Sabbath to me.  I don't really care which day I put aside for worship and meetings as He is with me all the time!  I have meditated on this question for a time since my last posting and came to the conclusion that it was a Jewish law.  I'm not Jewish.  They have kept the day as requested, but then, most of them rejected the Son of God. And now, as we live under Grace, that's good enough for me!

Love...Tamara.

Oklahoma Howdy to Tamara,

AMEN!, Well said!

Many don't study what is meant when the Holy Bible says that Christ came to fulfill the law. Many don't understand why the Gospel of God's Grace is so joyous and is THE GOOD NEWS. Just ONE of the beautiful JOYS is being able to pray and fellowship with our Lord and Saviour 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all without the help of a High Priest. Another beautiful JOY is the Holy Spirit in HIS children and walking with HIS children 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Thanks be unto God for HIS unspeakable GIFT!, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour! Living under GRACE is LOVE and TRUTH for God's children. We were bought and paid for by THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS. We have been delivered to HIM and we belong to HIM --- adopted, safe, and secure for ETERNITY. Another JOY of the GOOD NEWS is ETERNITY, not just one day.

In Christ,
Tom

Oklahoma Howdy to Ambassador4Christ,

AMEN BROTHER! - I still have to wait to post my opinion because I said that I would.

I've tried having fellowship with A/G's, and you can rarely have super-close friendships with them, because eventually your kajillion doctrinal disagreements will come up.

Oklahoma Howdy to Mr. 5020,

I think the same could apply with just about any two churches, depending on one or both of the people trying to communicate and have fellowship. However, the same problem could exist with people going to the same church or people attending a church of the same denomination.

What's sad is that both people are many times wrong in their arguments, but they will spend eternity together in Heaven. According to mankind, there are hundreds of types and varieties of Gospel and Baptism. However, the Holy Bible makes it exceptionally clear there is ONLY ONE GOSPEL and ONLY ONE BAPTISM. This is just an example.

In Christ,
Tom

That's just a hoax Forrest. Be careful what you post. As much as we all wish it were true, it's not. See this page.

Oklahoma Howdy to Forrest,

Brother, I get a ton of stuff in Email also. The post about it being a hoax was from ADMIN, not me. When I read your post about the Eagle, I was thinking the same thing you did.

GOD'S BILLBOARDS

The God billboards that are catching the eyes of drivers in the Dallas area are financed by a non-religious organization, according to the Smith Agency, that created them. The award-winning campaign first ran in Florida, where it was financed by an individual. The following are all of the God slogans created for the campaign:

1. Let's meet at my house Sunday before the game. -- God

2. C'mon over and bring the kids. -- God

3. What part of "Thou Shalt Not..." didn't you understand? -- God

4. We need to talk. -- God

5. Keep using my name in vain, I'll make rush hour longer. -- God

6. Loved the wedding, invite me to the marriage. -- God

7. That "Love Thy Neighbor" thing ... I meant it. -- God

8. I love you, I love you, I love you. -- God

9. Will the road you're on get you to my place? -- God

10. Follow me. -- God

11. Big Bang Theory? You've got to be kidding. -- God

12. My way is the highway. -- God

13. Need directions? -- God

14. You think it's hot here? -- God

15. Tell the kids I love them. -- God

16. Need a marriage counselor? I'm available. -- God

17. Have you read my #1 best seller? There will be a test. -- God

18. Do you have any idea where you're going? -- God

[If a person has Jesus in their heart and is truly Saved, would you base your fellowship on the name of the church they attend?]

BEP I'm a little surprised at this answer or post from you.  A person joins a church because they hold the same beliefs as that church.  I would NEVER be a member of a church that did not hold the same beliefs the same as I would never marry an unbelieving woman.

Oklahoma Howdy to Saved_4ever,

I don't think you understood my post, and I would certainly have to disagree with a portion of your post.

"It's a definite there are problems with all of mankind's churches, including mine and your own. If a person has Jesus in their heart and is truly Saved, would you base your fellowship on the name of the church they attend?"

If a person has Jesus in their heart and is truly Saved, are you saying you wouldn't have any fellowship with them unless they went to your physical church building? As far as I am concerned, the Bible clearly teaches that person is my brother or sister in Christ if they are truly saved. God doesn't care about the name over the door of the physical church building.

There is no mystical body of Christ at this time, else there'd be no reason to have churchs (or for the stupid picky ones a called out assembly).

Those that are saved are part of the family of God but are not part of any church until they are baptized into one.

Here, I would have to respectfully but completely disagree with you. It doesn't mean that I don't think your saved, and it doesn't mean that I can't have fellowship with you because of this disagreement. I have no doubt that you are saved, so you are my brother in Christ.

As far as I am concerned, joining a church made out of brick and mortar with human hands means nothing. The Church which is the Body of Christ most certainly exists. All truly saved people are members of the Church which is the Body of Christ, a church not made with human hands. Membership and baptism into physical church buildings means nothing. Your brick and mortar church is simply a place to assemble and worship on earth, but citizenship and church membership is in heaven for saved people.

You can see your brick and mortar church building, but it's not THE CHURCH. One could have their name on the membership roles and be baptized into a hundred physical church buildings and not be saved. One gets their name in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour and being BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. A man doesn't do the baptism, and Christ is the head over THE CHURCH. A saved person is a MEMBER OF HIS BODY, THE CHURCH WHICH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST.

In Christ,
Tom

I can't vote Blackeyed because to be quite honest, I don't know!!  

Love..Tamara

Oklahoma Howdy to Tamara,

"I don't know" should have been one of the possible answers. I don't think that I can add it now, so I apologize. I'm sure that many people have witnessed and don't know what the outcome was.

In Christ,
Tom

Thanks everyone, I will be back October 6, 2003

I missed you all

"Grace & Peace"

Brother Love

Oklahoma Howdy to Brother Love,

Fantastic, WELCOME BACK! - We missed you. I look forward to our continuing fellowship.

In Christ,
Tom

I cannot state on the board all those women did to me.  But, it is enough to say I am frightened of private mail at present.
And, to make a posting too often as I am afraid of offending due to my belief that Paul's letters are as much the Inspired Word Of God as any other part of the Bible.  And, I will not move from that belief.

In love...Tamara.

Oklahoma Howdy to Tamara,

When you speak of Paul's letters, you are talking about the core of the Gospel of the Grace of God. Paul's letters are most definitely the inspired Word of God. I don't know how any Christian would dislike the writing of Paul, as he revealed a mystery not known to men of other ages, the GOOD NEWS, the Gospel of the Grace of God. This is one of the most precious and joyous portions of the Holy Bible for God's children.

Post away. I look forward to fellowship in God's Word.

In Christ,
Tom

AMEN!, Thank you.

In Christ,
Tom
