Hi Ellen

Hi Laurie Welcome

Great thought provoking answers.... I had also learned that Jesus' birthday wasn't  December either
Boy isn't it amazing how the enemy slips stuff into generations ? Like satan claws oops I mean santa clause   I have chosen not to have a tree in my home or a wreath

 it seems pointsettas are the only thing that is not from pagan origin. Unfortunately I have 5 cats and pointsettas are poisonous to them

I am enjoying Chritians Unite tremendously! I came here originally  because my church broke up and I was really feeling kinda lost and lacking fellowship. I was missing  the word of God in my life. I am new to the Lord and have discovered I am learning a lot here, in every section of the website. I am also amused, uplifted, and encouraged.


                Thanks Everyone!

Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen,and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;for the heathen are dismayed at them.
10:3 For the customs of the people are vain:for one cutteth a tree out of the forrest, the work of the hands of the workman,with the ax.
10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
10:6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord;thou art great,andthy name is great in might.

Does this refer to the Christmas tree?
where does the tradition of the Christmas tree come from anyway?? anyone know?

I will have to pray and meditate on this scripture. Thank You

Could someone please tell me where I can find scripture that tells us once you are delivered from something if you should go back it is 7 times worse I have heard this from many Christians but have no idea where to find this in the bible.
Thanks in advance

I prefer The KJV It was hard to read at first.
 I read a chapter out loud each day to my husband (he doesn't have good comprehension when he reads) We pray for complete clarity and understanding before we begin. What I found out, when I started to read I stumbled and stuttered over the words, but now it seems they flow easily. The Lord has blessed our time together in reading his word! I know it doesn't answer the question but I wanted to share this. besides, Evangelist answered this question beautifully!

We cancelled our Cable TV. I just received a tape from sky angel, we are considering that.  We are planning a family with God's grace of course.
 Here is an eye opening article concerning children and TV

I guess I am seriously offendable too
 where do I start? Allthough the movie was entertaining and amusing, I really dislike the pushing  of the Homosexual agenda!
Like the cross dressing bartender, the men on the street "checking out" the new improved shreck,
 yes the Thong
and at the end for the big finish
the guy "jumping" on Prince Charming.
Thats right folks just numb them into acceptance
maybe the movie will be so funny they won't care and the kids will be brainwashed nicely.

How embarrasing
 I wanted to edit this post or recall it, but did not know how.
I am new in the Lord and have read revelation. I also did bible study with 7th day adventists. (I am not a JW) I was baptized a catholic, and am Jewish. are you confused yet? I recall in my Bible study with my new church that rapture was a false teaching. I am learning a lot here and appreciate all of you for helping me grow in the Lord.Just to Clarify I belong to Jesus Christ and attend a bible believing church. I am hoping I grow fast in the Lord as we don't seem to have much time these days.
I will still let them lop off my head if it were to come down to it

Hi Folks this is certainly a good topic for discussion.
This has bothered me for years. I believe thats a serious threat to Christians. Do you think this technology will be forced on unwilling citizens?

 I hope I am not flamed for this but I have believed for a long time that walmart is part of this whole big plan. It has put untold numbers companies out of business. It destroys the small business owner and ultimately we will have no choices where to buy anything!
It will be a lot easier to control citizen buying if there are only a certain number of corporations.

That has been going on for hundreds of years my friend. There are a lot more aggressive companies than Wallmart.
Maybe you should just get another job. (just kidding - sorry, I had to do it)

As far as your question..."Do you think this technology will be forced on unwilling citizens?" The Bible says saved Christians will be raptured (you may or may not agree with the rapture) long before the mark of the beast comes into effect. Those who accept the mark "willingly" are doomed to Hell. Those who refuse the mark, are beheaded.

Hahahaha Bronzesnake
seriously though I believe in the rapture but ya know what that is but a scant number 144,000 I love the Lord, but I feel not as worthy as some I know, and probably many more I don't
So I guess...................Off With My Head
