My favorite 2 are Tibby and Heidi.

Heidi is thought-provoking and always asking questions, a wonderful trait.

Tibby tells it like it is. No window-dressing.

Symphony is unassuming. I like that.

Sapphire Weapon is just plain fun.

Symphony,  Blackeyedpeas, Twobombs......

So hard to pick, there are so many good people, all of them have good traits.

Saved-4-Ever- Always says how he feels, always fundamentalist, and always oppesing my veiw ;D If said they sky was blue... ;)

Whitehorse- Sweet, nice, and just a beautiful person

Symphony- You couldn't force him to offend someone!

Corpus- Great guy, lots of passion, and very Catholic ;D

Blackeyedpeas- A true brother and friend, speaks with wisdom only time can develope, a voice I pay attention to and whose thoughts I always take time to consider. God bless you Tom.

That's a hard one. There are so many great posters in here, and I appreciate everyone in a different way. And, I'm not familiar with many of the posters, so if your name isn't here I probably don't know you very well. Be that as it may, I find frequent refreshment in posts, and there is a pattern to the names posted beside those posts:

Tibby: If you want to have fun, here's the person to turn to. He says it like it is-just a great person to hang out with. And, he gave me a very warm welcome to the forum when I first came. I won't forget that.

Heidi: She's blessed with faithful doctrine, asks good questions, and is gifted with godly insight. True and consistent refreshment.

Symphony: When he has something to say, people listen because they know it's good. It's solid. Honest and insightful. A blessing.

Willowbirch: Very sweet and gracious. Good points, too.

Black Eyed Peas: Just a neat person. Well-rounded and sincere.

Royo: The neat new person. Sincere, encouraging, and a great person to have around.

Bronzesnake: for his strong faith and compassion for others who are suffering

Ambassador4Christ, because he stands up for what he believes in.

Ollie, because his posts are faithful and thought-provoking

Paul2, I don't know you very well yet, but I know it will be great when I do.

All the new people: there are too many to name, but you know who you are. I love you.

All the non-new people who are too numerous to mention, you've all contributed something unique and special to the forum. I wish I could type all your names because you're great!

Your Wrong Bro, look at my list again.
And thanks for adding me to your list.

Everybody is so unique and we all have such different styles that each person on this site touches my heart in some way. I love this site because you get so many different perspectives on Christianity. For me, it's necessary because at church we generally hear the perspective from our denominations. The spirit searches all things and we can do that on this site.

It actually doesn't have any color at all.  It's just a reflection.   ;D

Hitch  ;D

No for real: i've been posting here for more then 8 months, and for an a-millenialist he's a good sparring partner as he really comes with scripture instead of political questions & answers.

Heidi has a good grasp of the gospel. I like her short but insightful answers. I am somewhat surprised so many like her.
She does knows the gospel and the gospel does offend.

See! ;D I love ya, man


Chris

    Frist, I don't belive that this subject falls under the Prophecy-Current Events Fourm.


    The posters that I Favor is.
                 Tigerlilly
                 Symphony
                 AAAA
                 A4C

I'm also very surprised people have given me those wonderful comments, but maybe for different reasons...LOL. (I have a hard time accepting compliments). But I think you make a good point, L.C.  The gospel does offend. I think the hardest thing to do in the world is to look at our own sins which is one reason why Jesus was killed. But the only thing that has brought me true happiness is doing that very thing. That happiness has cost me much humility which has been painful, but it's the only way i've been able to cultivate any fruits of the spirit. I'm sure some of you know how lonely being a Christian can, at times, be.  Then i think of all Jesus knew when He was alive. He was the ONLY person alive who understood the true things of God.  Not one other person understood His crucifixion and coming resurrection. I can't imagine the strength He had!!!! For this reason, i think it's so important not to forsake the fellowship of other believers. On days when I feel sorry for myself, I think of Him and my troubles seem petty.

Whoa - am I seeing things, or is my name actually on a list of posters that people like?!?!?!


Wow!

~AAAA  ;D

    Yes, and I will keep praying for you.

Hitch,
 because he is smart enough to agree with me  :P

Saved 4 ever,

because he is kind enough to  the time to explain even when he knows there  is no personal benifit.

Hmmmm...

A4C - When he said the guy was his favorite heathen I lost it!
BEP - He's an "elder" I can respect and learn from.
Bronzesnake - Sharp fellow with a zeal for the things of God!
Tibby - Makes you reread his posts several times just to have cognative progression.  Quite sly.  Typical Catholic... ;D
Saved4Ever - Blunt and to the point, and more times than not, the right point.

I like lots of others as well, but these just stick out to me.

I can't say I have any favorites.  I just have some that stick out as to whether or not they irritate me.  I won't post those names.   ;)

I generally like the people around here.  I'm quite the untactful err uumm, I'll leave the rest to the readers.  I notice that people mention me because of those reasons.  That's fine, I'm cool with it.   8)  I don't know how much longer I'll be around though.  I am having some issues with "religious things" and may need to go do some thinking.

I Love You Brother, and I even know your one of those Baptist.

Brother Love :)

You can think here, but I agree sometimes it is better to think without outside influence and only God to give guidance. When I first chose to seek out the truth I prayerfully read the bible, avoiding all outside influences. I even chose not to read the headings at the top of the pages in my bible.
I pray your journey will be fruitful.

Saved4Ever, if you need to go think for a while, it's never a bad idea to have a "round table" of faithful pastors and mature Christians at your church you can talk to. The devil loves an isolated saint. If you keep God in your vision and trust in Him while you go on your adventure, He won't let you down. You'll be in my prayers, and I wish you all the best in your quest.

You are never isolated if you are with God. As long as His truth is your goal He will guide you. Men fail, God doesn't.

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Well, there's a reason God commands us not to forsake the fellowship of the saints. True, He can and does guide us when circumstances such as age or health prevent this, but corporate worsjip (church) is a natural means of grace and He does permit consequences for disobedience. Not to say that's what Saved4Ever is planning or anything, but if we stop going to church, we're not really getting the influence of God alone because we are in direct contradiction to His will.

Going to Church will not make you a Christian, and going to Burger King will not make you a hamburger.

Brother Love :)

LOL....very funny!
What is Church anyways?Where 2 or 3 are gaither in my name?

Which church? Methodist, Episcopalian, Dutch Reformed, Mormon, Catholic, Missionary Baptist, Freewill Baptist, Reformed Baptist, Pentecostal, SDA, Quaker, Orthodox, Etc.
When people put their faith in their church instead of God they are open to false gospels.
God will never fail. Can you say the same for the church?
Gods church is made up of all the true believers, they come from various denominations. Not every one in a denomination has eternal life with God, though some churches teach that.
Some times it is necessary to step away from the corporate church so that we can focus on Gods eternal church.
The gospel saves, not the church. God gives understanding.

Luke 24:45  Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Or not.

2 Thessalonians 2:11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

The church are the people of God in Christ and they go to the public assemblies of the same. They do not go to church as they are the members of the church and the members assemble.

I read most everybody that posts here and can't say I have favorites although Joel Kaki and Hitch along with Symphony and Petro have good posts. I don't always think their posts agree with God's word.

The church is Christ's. There isn't any salvation in any other name.

Some of the very good posters did not come back after the crash in March. Some are here however with different handles.  One can tell by their writings.

Thanks everyone, I'll see you around.

Take care and come back.

It is interesting how this discussion on whether it is acceptable to search for God outside of a church or if you are outside of a church Satan will get you came about.
It was my intent to support Saved_4ever in thinking through his "religious things". I don’t know what questions S4e has, but it seems he needed to think without our input at least.
The greatest guide we have is God. I would not disagree that it can be helpful to sit down with other Godly people and search for answers as Whitehorse has said.What I take issue with is the statement, “The devil loves an isolated saint.” This is not biblical as far as I know.
The eternal church of God is made up of all the believers who have ever lived. The gates of Hell will not prevail against it.

Matthew 16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

On the other hand we have the corporate church, the various denominations we see around us.
God raises up churches, but they are ruled by men and so they fall. No church, on this earth is perfect.
In Revelation 2-3 mentions 7 churches that already have begun to fall away, today they are completely gone.
All the great churches in Europe. I have heard it said that Europe has one of the greatest needs for missionaries.
The Episcopal Church today has a gay bishop.
The bible says women are to be silent in the church, they are not to teach or have authority over men. Once upon a time Methodists, Presbyterians, and others followed 1Tim 2:12. Today we have women pastors and Sunday school teachers.
The Southern Baptist Seminary had some fundamental principles that you will not find being followed today.
The idea that the church is infallible and if you go it alone Satan will get you is a scare tactic used by cults.
I have a friend I haven’t seen for close to 25 years. The cult he is in teaches that if you search without the church Satan will very likely get you. This traps people into putting the corporate church ahead of God.

2 Timothy 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

I believe Saved_4ever will seek wisdom in his search and when saved 4 ever we have nothing to fear from Satan, we can’t lose our salvation.  

   Left Coast,

    I liked your last post about searching out God's truth by going directly to God without outside interference. You gave exellent reasons which give support to your view. Its hard to find truth with so many offering different opinions that each of us "believe" to be the truth but vary so much from one person to the next.

    I try to give and share my opinions on what I believe to be the truth, but God and His word alone can reveal whether something is truth or a lie. I don't believe any of us purposefully "lie" about our beliefs yet someone must be wrong. Only God can make His truth real to you and many people should be "on their own" studing His word and searching for truth because as you said, many are led astray and receive false doctrine. If all you hear is false doctrine, it may be all you know. Someone comes here and all of a sudden there are many different views presented and some people need to take a "time out" to search deep into the scriptures to find what they themselves believe God's word really says.

     Every person on earth is experiencing life differently from anyone else. We each have different backgrounds and experiences that shaped us into the individuals God planned for us to become. Death is something that is personal and between God and the person dying alone. You will never truely know all that takes place until its you turn to die, unless your lucky enough to live at the time of the Rapture.

     The group thing is good but so is personal time with God, just you and Him. Sometimes 3 makes a crowd. A search for truth is always worth while as long as the Holy Spirit is your guide and you truely seek the truth, with a teachable Spirit, and the willingness to believe the truth if it shows your previous views were wrong. God calls us to seek His truth and sometimes it must be done alone.

                                                              Paul2

 :'(   see ya

This levity is really disturbing. It's true, however: outward compliance cannot save. It cannot make up for inward rebelliousness. How than can one be safe with outward and open defiance? Only Christ can save, who commands us to remain in His love.

I'm sure people can come up with long lists of reasons why they simply cannot comply with the word of God. But then how can they profess to know the truth?

I don't expect this to be a popular saying, but I wasn't commissioned by God to say what is popular. Only what is true.

I agree with this statement, and the gospel does offend. We search and God gives us understanding some understand one thing some understand another.
We conflict when one understands what the other does not.
Where I used to get in trouble was when I made doctrine a reproof of the scripture, scripture must be a reproof of doctrine.

Forget opinions, stay with God's word and one will never go wrong.

 2 Timothy 3:14.  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
 15.  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
 16.  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
 17.  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


1 Thessalonians 4:11.  And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
 12.  That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.


2 Timothy 2:14.  Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
 15.  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
 16.  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

One of my favorite passages. Thank you for sharing it.

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

That is a wonderful addition to the thoughts presented.

Thank you.

However we have been led off topic, but it is good straying and that is ok.

Ollie :)

I wasn't going to post here since it seemed kinda, well, uh.... not nice  :P

But since all my favorite posters aren't listed, I think they should get the recognition (and all that prize money) that they deserve. Some haven't come back  :'(

Hmmm, shucks.  The picture worked for me.  Hmmm.


  Oh well...


       :-\

One of my FAVORITES is John the Baptist :)

Brother Love :)

;D ;D ;D Good one!

BEP, he is very wise and insightful, and he has been very gracious to me, in "checking up" and replying to posts.

Whitehorse, lots of knowledge and experience

Tamara, she is a wonderful Christian warrior

A4C, because he lived in Pennsylvania, and 'cause I need a good "ditto" sometimes.  ;D (Also for his wonderful devotional posts!)

Brother Love, for his wise posts and warm spirit

Tigerlily, she is a wonderful person

Saved_4ever, Forrest, Coyote, Allinall, many others. They are all unique and wonderful!

Geez, I came up with this thread and my name never made a post.  Ah well.  I noticed quite a few of you participate on other forums.  Which ones?

I particpate on CU and TheologyOnline.com (http://www.truthsmack.com).

Ironage.us forum, karateforums.com, sherdog.com forums, judoinfo.com forums. I am registered in more, but I only go to those when I have a question.

Hi Mr. 5020, I checked out TheologyOnline.com. looks good.
I have known James Hilston for years.

Grace & Peace

Brother Love :)

TheologyOnline.com is definitely my favorite.  I give it 5 stars.

This forum is a very good one. The format is simple, ‘user friendly’ is the term i think. Some of the other places are loaded with, really cool stuff, and this computer dummy gets lost.

Seems most forums develop cliques, while screaming how they hate denominations.

Stephanie had some good posts before the crash. I don't think she is back.

Stephanie is back.  But it's a secret.   ;D

So was SherBear, for a little bit.  Hers is a secret too.   ;D

You are my favorite poster Mr.5020!  ;D

I post here.
I post on a friend's mini-forum.
I post at www.iidb.org.
I post at www.linuxquestions.org.

Mr. 5020, you are my favorite poster too!  Yup.  I liked your advice to AAAA..AA.AAA...her, that she should have the football team rough up the jerk that's abusing her.  My kinda poster!  ;D
