Oklahoma Howdy to All,

Well, this appears to be hair-splitting.

We all know that God can force anything HE wants done, but HE didn't do that. God could have made Adam and Eve robots under complete control every second with no thought of their own and no choices to make. There would have been no need for do's, don't's, law, Grace, love, the cross, etc. There would also be no trouble, no wars, no evil, no sin, etc. Man would have no need of a Saviour and remote control righteousness. However, that was no God's plan. God gave man thought, the ability to make choices (right and wrong), and the choice to disobey and reject the CREATOR. God obviously had no intention of Creating man as a robot, so God did not make any mistakes. All mistakes were made by the choice and will of man.

It is obvious that all men are not saved, but the choice is there as a free GIFT. Jesus Christ was a perfect Sacrifice on the Cross, but, again, God did not force men to do anything. Hosts of men will never accept the free GIFT, but that's man's error in choice, not a mistake made by God.

Every man and woman makes choices every day, including Christians, and many of those choices will be wrong. YES!!, Almighty God could force all men to make the right choices 100% of the time, but HE didn't. YES!!, God would like for all men to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour, and HE would like all men to love HIM with all of their heart. Men are not robots, so the rest is simple.

Love In Christ,
Tom

       Brother Forrest, that has to be the joke of the month. Thanks - I needed that laugh!

[Get it???]

What did the policeman say to his belly button?
You're under a vest!

Get it???  

COPS AND KIDS

It was the end of the day when the officer parked his police van in front of the station.

As he was gathering his equipment, his K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and it was then that the officer spotted the little red haired boy staring at him.

"Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked.

"It sure is," the policeman replied.

Puzzled, the boy looked at the officer and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"  

THE PISTOL RANGE

Ernie, not the brightest rookie at the police academy, was at the pistol range. He was given some instruction, a pistol, and bullets. He fired several shots at the target.

The report came from the target area that all attempts had completely missed the target.

Ernie looked at his weapon and then at the target again. He looked at the pistol again, and then at the target again. He put his finger over the end of the gun barrel and squeezed the trigger with his other hand.

The end of his finger was blown off, where upon he yelled toward the target area: "It's leaving here just fine. The trouble must be at your end!"  (Old Groaner)  

REPEAT SERVICE

A police officer pulled a young woman over for speeding and politely asked to see her license.

"Why don't you cops get your act together," she said in a huff. "Yesterday you take my license away, and now today you expect me to show it to you!"  

       Dreamweaver, I wondered where you were going with the hokey pokey.  And, now, it must be shrink day.

The Golfer

A murder has been committed.

Police are called to an apartment and find a man standing, holding a 5-iron in his hands, looking at the lifeless body of a woman on the ground.

The detective asks, "Sir, is that your wife?"

"Yes."

"Did you hit her with that golf club?"

"Yes. Yes, I did," the man answers. He stifles a sob, drops the club and puts his hands on his head.

"How many times did you hit her?"

"I don't know. Five...six ...put me down for a five."  

uh...your a  tad slow Tom    I posted online radio links in the music thread months ago lol...it`s all I listen too...but i`m going to check out your link too  

Oklahoma Howdy to Shylynne,

   How in the world did I miss that post? I could have been listening to Internet radio weeks earlier. There is no comparison to the selection and quality. Well, the only thing I know to do is read all of the messages again and see if there is something else I missed.      OH!, but then I'll get behind on the new messages.  

Love In Christ,
Tom

[GO FOR IT!]

I can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I exist.

Can you do the same for God?

Neo,

DO IT THEN!  I don't think you can! GO FOR IT! As far as I'm concerned, you don't exist. You're just an automated computer and a figment of your own imagination.

Take a look outside.  It's written over every blade of grass, every tree and every cloud passing in the sky.  Granted.  It's proof that requires faith, otherwise, it never would please God.  

1.) Existence exists.
2.)
3.)
...
818.) Therefore, the Christian God exists as you say he does.

Please fill in the gaps. You know as well as I do that your response is unsatisfactory.

Oklahoma Howdy to Neo,

Why don't you prove that you exist first so we'll know that we aren't wasting our time with an imaginary entity or an automated computer? You'll have to prove that to yourself first, and that might be difficult for you.

And the Gann Brothers!  

Oklahoma Howdy to Sincereheart,

I'm trying to remember the Gann Brothers. Are they new or old? I'm still trying to find out who some of the older groups are. I actually have a stack of very old 78 records that my grand-dad used to listen to. I'm trying to find a completely safe way to listen to them once and record them. We used to listen to them on large family gatherings.

Help me out with the Gann Brothers.  

Love In Christ,
Tom

How do I get a fancy signature?

Oklahoma Howdy to Justme,

If you are talking about one like mine, I do those for fun. If you are talking about a really fancy one like Willowbirch has, I really don't know where she got that. I think there are several places on the Internet that you choose a style, type in what you want, and it does a signature for you immediately. I got one like that for my email program, but it isn't nearly as pretty as the one Willowbirch has.

If you want one like mine, PM me with details of what you might like, and I'll give it my best try.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Brother, you are most welcome. I think that you will enjoy it. There really isn't that many advertisements, and some of the advertisements come by graphics. If you minimize your player, you don't see any of the graphic advertisements. I listened to another one today called Southern Gospel Live, and I think that it was live. It was really fun to listen to.

Love In Christ,
Tom

SERIAL KILLER

Two police officers respond to a crime scene behind a grocery store. The homicide detective is already there.

"What happened?" asks the first officer.

"Male, about twenty-five, covered in Raisin Bran and dead as a doornail."

"Good grief," says the second officer. "Didn't we have one covered in Frosted Flakes yesterday? And Captain Crunch last week?"

"You're right" said the detective, "I'm afraid this is the work of a cereal killer."  (Old Groaner)  

BUBBA AND CLEM

Bubba and Clem found three hand grenades and they decided that they better take them to the police station.

"What if one of them explodes before we get there?" asks Clem.

"Don't worry about it," says Bubba. "We'll just lie and tell them we only found two."  (Groan)
