It does prove that people who persecute you are just there to shape you into something good so instead of getting offended with people We should be thankful for them doing what they do for us in our lives. Even though it may suck its good to go through it and Love them in the process. Both hearts will change through it.
he describes his wife as jumping 12 feet out the bed, that right there shows you what kind of mindset he's in. he was exaggerating every point he could and probably lying about the rest of it. this is just another nonsensical story that literally means nothing and proves nothing, yet the sheep follow along as usual. you believe in god, i'll believe in science, and 1000 years from now when we're all long dead and gone, one of those trains of thought will also be long gone. you've picked poorly.
@flyinhcloudkitty love in itself is always allways good. God created joy, laughter is simply a way of showing joy. One of the ways joy manifests (i guess :p). God loves joy, and therefore also laughter :-)
well since most of us have NEVER seen angels, how can we KNOW what they do. I certainly believe angels fan laugh in heaven. For the Lord Himself laughs!! Just Beautiful!
We are still waiting for you to produce evidence of Dr Hagin saying he would "live to see the rapture". Recorded message, book, chapter, page, paragraph, etc. Something that will prove beyond a doubt that Dr Hagin made such a foolish statement . You were assertive enough to publish this accusation on the internet so we are confident you will have no problem producing the evidence. Watching & waiting. Pastor John Hamel
Brother Hagin did NOT ever say he would live to see the Rapture. He was not a fool. Please direct me to the recorded message or printed page where you are quoting from. It doesn't exist. It is blatantly dishonest for you to pass this on. I have spent 30 years under Dr Hagin's ministry & can assure you he NEVER said or taught any such thing.
Dishonestly making Dr Hagin look bad thru passing on hearsay is not the way to justify developing unbiblical Schools of Prophecy.
JESUS TO DR. HAGIN IN 1959 VISION "It is unscriptural under the New Testament to have Schools of Prophets (& Prophecy). It leaves the impression that Prophets are the only Ministry Gift under the New Covenant, or the most important one, and they aren't. Under the New Testament it is Scriptural to have schools for ministers. Let Me separate the Prophets." It is improper to carry OT practices into the NT. (Hebrews 8:6)
Read Dr Hagin's book. "He Gave Gifts Unto Men.." Clears it all up!
@Pastorjohnhamel This type of school of prophecy, is not the same as a school for "ordaining" ministers. The purpose of a school of prophecy is to learn how to recognize the many ways God speaks, protocols one should take in giving the word; it is NOT to ordain someone to BE a prophet. There is no error in this type of school of prophecy. Side Note: Dr. Hagin also said that he would live to see the rapture, as well. He will, but not on this side of heaven.

Graham Cooke said this was one of his favorite conferences ever! People were literally howling with laughter through much of it. This set includes teaching on the ability to love yourself and the things God can do through people who live for Him.
I'm astounded all you guys are so fooled by him. Do you seriously think an angel would be laughing in front of the presence of a holy God? Do you have any concept of holiness? I might be willing to believe an unguided Christian would pray for others to die, but one in a prominent leadership position who already knows God?!! The laughing angel was clearly a fallen angel laughing at his pride and blindness in believing his vision was from God.
@flyingcloudkitty it seems such a shame that people so quickly judge other's experiences. This was a dream. God often uses dreams to show us truth. God isn't nearly as concerned with theology in dreams as you are. Look at the fruit of his experience. Satan's pretty stupid if he's giving out dreams that make Christian leaders love people MORE..... can a kingdom divided against itself stand?
@andeeman55 satan DOES give people, *especially* Christian AND pagan leaders dreams to make others "love people more". Most real Christians understand many "christians" are using "love" to remove the message of the cross and need for repentance of sin out of the gospel, because showing love makes them feel not bad. It's this "message of love" that started the "Chrislam" movement and it's also pretty much a core of a lot of new age philosophy too.

@JESSECHARO These are 2 of my most favorite verses When I read them for the first time it confirmed in my spirit that god does speak and speaks to each one personally.
totally awesome. I know that is true, because I have had similar things in my own life!!! God is so wise. We learn obedience by the things we suffer!!!!
I now understand why we are called to bless those who persecute you! He blessed them and encouraged them and they worked harder to do the lords work! Thats why jesus never turned Judas away cuz Judas was a sculptor! Love everyone especially your enemies! All the more!
Graham, your spirit and account is so clean that whatever you have to say I am open to consider and I have never seen you teach nor do I know what you are up to!!
This video has changed my life. For the first time in 40 years I am completely free. I love every one and hold no grudge against anyone. I understand that everything that happens to me and happened to me has the effect of turning me into the person that God wants me to become. Everything works together for the good of those who love him. Praise the Lord! He is the Greatest!
Somewhat related topic: The Lord asked me, "What made Muhammad Ali the greatest?" I didn't know. He said, "Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, and Larry Holmes. But look at Mike Tyson. He had no great opponent, and he became a disappointment to himself. I created the most beautiful, intelligent, talented angel and gifted him above all others. And when he turned, I allowed him to be your enemy. This is how you become what I made you to be." Then He defeated him for us and told us to collect.
xerosisonek...your post made me laugh cuz I know Gods voice too...it also encouraged me as I'm going through a very hard fight with some lifelong enenimies (unseen)....and reminded me of a story I wrote 25 yrs ago called "Benevolent Teachers" about facing hard times....in anycase God Bless you and all that pertains to you...
osocali, U shall win. Your enemies are specifically designed 2 develop the main aspects of yoursoul's character and tuned 2 yoursoul's weaknesses 2 bring U 2 complete dominion over self ("subdue the earth") and utter dependence upon Jesus.
Your story sounds like a blessing that all of the Body could use. In the past 2 weeks I, too, have been battling an old unseen foe that attacked me 7 years & 7 months to the day after the last full fight. The victory is faith. Thank U 4 your kind words.
God used this God story to answer my prayers regarding why He was allowing me to be unjustly criticized and persecuted. Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and thank you, Graham, for your testimony.
A totally awesome word... wow! It changed my point of view of opposition in my own life! God is so good and so wise, if we would just listen to Him and let Him have His perfect way in us!
carmenvljn, How could it be unlawful to speak about a third heaven experience. If you read 2 Cor 12:2-4 closely you''ll understand that Paul is trying his best to speak about his third heaven experience but, God allowed him to see things that a human intellect could never grasp or fully understand. Paul taught through divine revelation and, most likely he got a download of revelation during that experience. The bible is not a complicated book you just have to think outside the box at times.lol!
Oh so you have to think beyond the boundaries of the bible sometimes to be comfortable with your experiences? unlawful means unlawful, not intellectually difficult. So why did God all of a sudden change his mind? how can you decide what was an exception in the bible and what applies to everybody - because it tickles your ears? Oh lets just say that passage is a metaphor... and every warning in the bible was a metaphor... even the damnation for those who do not love the truth
'he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter' 2 cor 12:2-4 if you read the whole passage you can tell he is talking just about his experience that cannot be told.
Paul heard and saw some things that are not lawful for a man to utter. Just like John in Rev. 10:4 when the angel commanded him not to write about what the seven thunders uttered.
But John was able to talk about the Rev. 4 throne room. So there are some things that were lawful to speak and write about and some things that God did not allow.
How gnostic of you "mansionmaker" (arrogant twit!). So you dont think understanding does NOT come from "reading" the bible? God wil handpick your deceptions if you do not love his Word. "You have magnified Your word above all Your name" If you understood what that meant, you'd be a bit more humble and fearful to just follow after people who tickle your ears with fancy tales and do a few magic signs and wonders to ensnare a wicked generation.
Graham Cooke passed on to us all a poignant lesson about opposition: "God allows in His wisdom what He could easily prevent in His power." We all have Three Stooges in our lives, don't we? God bless us all!
This is just perfect for me!! I have a stooge hammering at me. I now know that God has put that person in my life to make me into His image. I recently discovered Graham vids. I praise God for this man and his teaching.
This was perfect timing! I listened to this last night and was reminded again of it this morning. There is a man at work (who is a supervisor) that is constant trouble....constantly looking to stir up trouble, make trouble...he eats people up and spits them out....and I have gotten to the point that I often dread days when he is riled up (often). But, I pray the Psalms often and am reminded of how the Lord uses this suffering to shape ME into His image.
and, for the record, this isn't NEW revelation....it is an illustration of what the Word already tells us! (there is nothing wrong with reiteration! we need it often!) Romans 5:3,4 tells us that these things will be used to shape and mold us, "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope."
THIS IS FOOLISHNESS! God has spoken...in the person of His Son (Heb 1:1-3) and in the Scriptures (2 Tim 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21). Stop chasing new revelation and study that which was given to us by God Himself (Isaiah 8:19-20)
God just revealed something to me through this. its that James 1:2 thing. trials that we have build us up into the people God wants us to be. so my trial right now, though it may suck and make me cry now and then, is God making me into the Man I'm supposed to be! :)
DOOD, that is sooooo good. Really ministered to me... The angel on his back laughing at you blessing your enemies knowing you never you at that point the score! The Father has a sense of humour, those angels are funny on times.
Wow....great video. Helps us to realize that God takes all the negative things in our lives to help us to become that one great masterpiece........Lord, help us to see things from your perspective, instead of our own limited vision...
Just because you say you know Jesus doesn't exactly mean that you are automatically correct. Most Christians I know don't really know exactly what they believe. If you point out a flaw they say "Oh well I don't believe that part".
For a long time Christianity argued against the science of Galileo. They called him a heretic. You deny global warming while it stares the rest of us all in the face like a rabid wolf. No my friend, you are the one that's blind, the rest of us are scared!
The earth has naturally warmed and cooled on it's own, it is documented. The earth warmed long before cars were invented. We are not the one causing it to warm. Besides there are temperature taking bouys all over the world's oceans and there is no change. In time you will see that we are being maniputlated to take away our freedoms and to get taxed for something we have to control over. 25 yrs ago, they said we were entering another ice age, so what happened with that scientic theory? Gore lied
In 1979 the Exxon Valdez polluted Prince William Sound with the world's largest oil spill ever. They still haven't paid their fine, and today it was reduced from $2 bil to $500 million. That's 1/4.
Yesterday top climate scientist James Hansen warned that the earth had passed its tipping point and that CEO's of oil companies are guilty of crimes against humanity. See Democracynow. org.
These things are real and they are happening as we speak. I can see it with my own eyes - and so can you.
Please dont think me rude for interrupting you conversation but I couldnt help noting the passion you both have for what you are talking about. Im a chrsitian and i was wondering what you believe backwardsbound? i noticed that you mentioned Paul and his change to Saul. i was also wondering what brought you to listen to this teaching by Graham Cooke. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Susie,
The oil companies are guilty of crimes against humanity and the Earth. They have lied to us and brought us to this edge of death that we live in today. They have used Christianity to help their deadly purpose.
Christians always think they are right. You can't tell them anything different - even with well documented science. Christians would rather listen to this guy, superstitions, and lies about global warming not being real. Christianity is blind and not close to God at all.
Backwardsbound, i think thats an interesting perspective and you have highligted alot of issues but i would like to hear more about what you mean by saying "christianity is blind and not close to God at all". Many Christians believe lots of different things as regards science, creation, geology, current global warming, politics, etc. The list is nearly endless. But i would like to think that the most important thing about Christianity is LOVE. Loving God and loving others.
Christians are being used by the oil companies for political power (votes) to help them take control of the Middle East.
Why does Christianity make such a big deal about creationism over evolution? Does it really mean anything about the love of Jesus or God? No. It's a ralleying point, just like abortion, to gather the sheep around. Christians are blindly being led today by unseen forces to do not belong to God because they allow themselves to be brainwashed.
I had a university lecturer who i respected who held different views 2 me as reagrads creation BUT we both recognised Gods love for us + the life and grace offered because of his son Jesus,from his death and becoming alive again. This is what unites us and I dont doubt that he is a Chrsitian or think of him as less of a Christian because we hold different views.Tho i recognise there are various aspects 2 Chrsitianity that people debate I do believe there are some aspects that r not debateable.
The most important thing about God is LOVE, but the most important things about Christianity are power, wealth, and never being wrong.
I don't need a religion or a book to see and know God. I know God in the natural world and universe. I've seen the perilous situation we've brought the world into by putting carbon into the atmosphere because I'm closer to God than you. You cannot be truly close to God and be blind to the Earth. You are believing a lie.
I agree with you 100% on the statement that God is LOVE. But I would say that TRUE Christianity (which a large majority of "Christians" aren't living) does NOT involve power and wealth. Sadly so many are skewed and thrown off. I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and I understand that we need change the way we treat the earth and creation. Not all Christians feel that way, which, I agree also, you cannot truly be close to God if you aren't watching over creation also.
I understand your perspective that Chrsitains always think they are right, i know many like this but i also know Christians who are open to different perspectives; but you would be right in accusing me of thinking im right about core aspects of my faith. But i would like to point out that for me, if I am going to put my faith in something I feel that i need to be certain of it otherwise what is the point? Anyway im interested in who you think God is and what it means to be close to God?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Susie,
First I think the most important thing to know about God is that God loves all mankind. The second thing to realize is that man wrote the Bible. The Bible is full of twisted words of destruction. Do you believe in the Ten Commandments for example? Do you ever shop on the Sabbath? If you do then you all people that shop on the Sabbath should be put to death - Exodus 31:15. Your Christian Zionists (far right evangelicals) are promoting the war of Armageddon because they believe Hal Lindsey
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God Loves the world. One problem was that "God's chosen" people thought He only loved them. That isn't what God told them, just what they chose to believe.
Overall, I find that you have a lot of lumping Christians into a single lot, and we are as varied as any group of people. And I happen to be pro-environment.
You are like Paul before he was blinded for three days. You have a lot of energy and intelligence, but your message is lost because it is not real. You have made this up. Your message is made-up, and you know it.
Why do you think this is made up? You don't think God can communicate through a dream? He does it all the time. I think God gave him this dream because his soul was at stake. As Christians we have to forgive everyone if we are to be forgiven of our sins. Graham was praying that something bad would happen to these guys. But he needed to see things from Gods perspective of love and he was then changed. Only God can change a heart through a dream like that. That's God love and grace.
The problems with believing this man are 1: anyone can say anything they want if they claim to be a christian and heard from God in a dream. 2: this guy promotes superstition. Superstition is a bad side effect of christianity. It is not of God and does the world great harm. It is deceptive. 3: this guy promotes evil by using this superstiion and prayer to attack people who don't agree with him.
You are a deceived person, BackwardsBound. You sit back and judge true christians while adhering to your own twisted false teachings. You uphold unbiblical truths, all the while claiming you know some great truth that others don't understand. You bring nothing new to the table, just the old forked tongue doctines of demons. I know you think you are right, but you are deceived.
It is difficult in these days to know what is truth and what is not. It can often be difficult to decide who or what is right.
I personally find the truth of the study of science the best. Unlike many religions, science admits when it doesn't know something, and when it's been wrong. Science is not taken personally or religiously. Science is simply observation of God's Universe.
I don't want to argue with you my friend. I just want to tell you this is where I come from.
You think science is truthful? Evolution is a theory, but they teach it as a fact. I don't know about you but it takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does creation. Even Darwin said his theory should be scrapted if we didn't find specimens to prove his theory. He said there should be millions and you know, they have squat. Don't even get me started on the global warming hoax.
Science is the study of what God made. It should not take the place of God as truth.
@MonteAlexander The wise realize theTRUTH in Jesus' statements "Judge not lest ye be judged" and "In the judgment ye judge it shall be meeted out to you"
Scholls of the prophets existed in the OT and even elijah had his students - buddie get with gods program and not that of the deceived - God is accessible and his sheep hear his voice.
This was an eye opening video for me. I got a CD of his and I wanted to know more about him but this video has blessed me and changed my understanding of adversity.
criticism is good for us in our professional and spiritual lives. It makes you careful. If you take reasonable criticism on board it helps you grow and challenges you to be open-minded, that is what I believe, and that is why I like getting it.
I believe that the whole world has Satan as it's god, not just there but here and it seems worse with more churchiannity.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do... When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Sorry. I entered your reply as a regular statement but you can find it as the last left: MonteAlexanxder text comment left.
2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

One thing that is great is that God made a giant phaser to shoot down from the sky and it did hit these three guys on their heads, yea, and they did get terrible headaches and cried like little babies.
Thank you for stepping out in faith, regardless of what others are saying. Remember that if you get that much attention from the enemy he (Satan) is very afraid of you and your ministry. I know since as a "prophet" I have had enough critisim to last a lifetime. And I am no where near your level of public viewing. May God Bless you and stenghten you. Thanks JCway 195

This video has changed my life. For the first time in 40 years I am completely free. I love every one and hold no grudge against anyone. I understand that everything that happens to me and happened to me has the effect of turning me into the person that God wants me to become. Everything works together for the good of those who love him. Praise the Lord! He is the Greatest!

Somewhat related topic: The Lord asked me, "What made Muhammad Ali the greatest?" I didn't know. He said, "Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, George Foreman, and Larry Holmes. But look at Mike Tyson. He had no great opponent, and he became a disappointment to himself. I created the most beautiful, intelligent, talented angel and gifted him above all others. And when he turned, I allowed him to be your enemy. This is how you become what I made you to be." Then He defeated him for us and told us to collect.

xerosisonek...your post made me laugh cuz I know Gods voice too...it also encouraged me as I'm going through a very hard fight with some lifelong enenimies (unseen)....and reminded me of a story I wrote 25 yrs ago called "Benevolent Teachers" about facing hard times....in anycase God Bless you and all that pertains to you...

osocali, U shall win. Your enemies are specifically designed 2 develop the main aspects of yoursoul's character and tuned 2 yoursoul's weaknesses 2 bring U 2 complete dominion over self ("subdue the earth") and utter dependence upon Jesus.
Your story sounds like a blessing that all of the Body could use. In the past 2 weeks I, too, have been battling an old unseen foe that attacked me 7 years & 7 months to the day after the last full fight. The victory is faith. Thank U 4 your kind words.

carmenvljn, How could it be unlawful to speak about a third heaven experience. If you read 2 Cor 12:2-4 closely you''ll understand that Paul is trying his best to speak about his third heaven experience but, God allowed him to see things that a human intellect could never grasp or fully understand. Paul taught through divine revelation and, most likely he got a download of revelation during that experience. The bible is not a complicated book you just have to think outside the box at times.lol!
MW1900 2 years ago
Oh so you have to think beyond the boundaries of the bible sometimes to be comfortable with your experiences? unlawful means unlawful, not intellectually difficult. So why did God all of a sudden change his mind? how can you decide what was an exception in the bible and what applies to everybody - because it tickles your ears? Oh lets just say that passage is a metaphor... and every warning in the bible was a metaphor... even the damnation for those who do not love the truth
carmenvljn 2 years ago
Hello has anybody ever bothered to read the bible? 2 Cor 12:2-4. It is unlawful to speak of anything you experience in the third heaven!
carmenvljn 2 years ago
'he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter' 2 cor 12:2-4 if you read the whole passage you can tell he is talking just about his experience that cannot be told.

Paul heard and saw some things that are not lawful for a man to utter. Just like John in Rev. 10:4 when the angel commanded him not to write about what the seven thunders uttered.
But John was able to talk about the Rev. 4 throne room. So there are some things that were lawful to speak and write about and some things that God did not allow.

How gnostic of you "mansionmaker" (arrogant twit!). So you dont think understanding does NOT come from "reading" the bible? God wil handpick your deceptions if you do not love his Word. "You have magnified Your word above all Your name" If you understood what that meant, you'd be a bit more humble and fearful to just follow after people who tickle your ears with fancy tales and do a few magic signs and wonders to ensnare a wicked generation.

This was perfect timing! I listened to this last night and was reminded again of it this morning. There is a man at work (who is a supervisor) that is constant trouble....constantly looking to stir up trouble, make trouble...he eats people up and spits them out....and I have gotten to the point that I often dread days when he is riled up (often). But, I pray the Psalms often and am reminded of how the Lord uses this suffering to shape ME into His image.
vegangelist 3 years ago 3
and, for the record, this isn't NEW revelation....it is an illustration of what the Word already tells us! (there is nothing wrong with reiteration! we need it often!) Romans 5:3,4 tells us that these things will be used to shape and mold us, "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope."
vegangelist 3 years ago 4
THIS IS FOOLISHNESS! God has spoken...in the person of His Son (Heb 1:1-3) and in the Scriptures (2 Tim 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21). Stop chasing new revelation and study that which was given to us by God Himself (Isaiah 8:19-20)

Janelle,
Just because you say you know Jesus doesn't exactly mean that you are automatically correct. Most Christians I know don't really know exactly what they believe. If you point out a flaw they say "Oh well I don't believe that part".
For a long time Christianity argued against the science of Galileo. They called him a heretic. You deny global warming while it stares the rest of us all in the face like a rabid wolf. No my friend, you are the one that's blind, the rest of us are scared!

The earth has naturally warmed and cooled on it's own, it is documented. The earth warmed long before cars were invented. We are not the one causing it to warm. Besides there are temperature taking bouys all over the world's oceans and there is no change. In time you will see that we are being maniputlated to take away our freedoms and to get taxed for something we have to control over. 25 yrs ago, they said we were entering another ice age, so what happened with that scientic theory? Gore lied

In 1979 the Exxon Valdez polluted Prince William Sound with the world's largest oil spill ever. They still haven't paid their fine, and today it was reduced from $2 bil to $500 million. That's 1/4.
Yesterday top climate scientist James Hansen warned that the earth had passed its tipping point and that CEO's of oil companies are guilty of crimes against humanity. See Democracynow. org.
These things are real and they are happening as we speak. I can see it with my own eyes - and so can you.

Please dont think me rude for interrupting you conversation but I couldnt help noting the passion you both have for what you are talking about.

Susie,
The oil companies are guilty of crimes against humanity and the Earth. They have lied to us and brought us to this edge of death that we live in today. They have used Christianity to help their deadly purpose.
Christians always think they are right. You can't tell them anything different - even with well documented science. Christians would rather listen to this guy, superstitions, and lies about global warming not being real. Christianity is blind and not close to God at all.
BackwardsBound 3 years ago
Backwardsbound, i think thats an interesting perspective and you have highligted alot of issues but i would like to hear more about what you mean by saying "christianity is blind and not close to God at all". Many Christians believe lots of different things as regards science, creation, geology, current global warming, politics, etc. The list is nearly endless. But i would like to think that the most important thing about Christianity is LOVE. Loving God and loving others.
susiesmiles01 3 years ago 2
Christians are being used by the oil companies for political power (votes) to help them take control of the Middle East.
Why does Christianity make such a big deal about creationism over evolution? Does it really mean anything about the love of Jesus or God? No. It's a ralleying point, just like abortion, to gather the sheep around. Christians are blindly being led today by unseen forces to do not belong to God because they allow themselves to be brainwashed.
BackwardsBound 3 years ago
I had a university lecturer who i respected who held different views 2 me as reagrads creation BUT we both recognised Gods love for us + the life and grace offered because of his son Jesus,from his death and becoming alive again. This is what unites us and I dont doubt that he is a Chrsitian or think of him as less of a Christian because we hold different views.Tho i recognise there are various aspects 2 Chrsitianity that people debate I do believe there are some aspects that r not debateable.
susiesmiles01 3 years ago
The most important thing about God is LOVE, but the most important things about Christianity are power, wealth, and never being wrong.
I don't need a religion or a book to see and know God. I know God in the natural world and universe. I've seen the perilous situation we've brought the world into by putting carbon into the atmosphere because I'm closer to God than you. You cannot be truly close to God and be blind to the Earth. You are believing a lie.
BackwardsBound 3 years ago
I agree with you 100% on the statement that God is LOVE. But I would say that TRUE Christianity (which a large majority of "Christians" aren't living) does NOT involve power and wealth. Sadly so many are skewed and thrown off. I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and I understand that we need change the way we treat the earth and creation. Not all Christians feel that way, which, I agree also, you cannot truly be close to God if you aren't watching over creation also.

Anyway im interested in who you think God is and what it means to be close to God?

Susie,
First I think the most important thing to know about God is that God loves all mankind. The second thing to realize is that man wrote the Bible. The Bible is full of twisted words of destruction. Do you believe in the Ten Commandments for example? Do you ever shop on the Sabbath? If you do then you all people that shop on the Sabbath should be put to death - Exodus 31:15. Your Christian Zionists (far right evangelicals) are promoting the war of Armageddon because they believe Hal Lindsey

Amen backwards, God Loves the WHOLE world.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God Loves the world. One problem was that "God's chosen" people thought He only loved them. That isn't what God told them, just what they chose to believe.
Overall, I find that you have a lot of lumping Christians into a single lot, and we are as varied as any group of people. And I happen to be pro-environment.

You are like Paul before he was blinded for three days. You have a lot of energy and intelligence, but your message is lost because it is not real. You have made this up. Your message is made-up, and you know it.
BackwardsBound 3 years ago
Why do you think this is made up? You don't think God can communicate through a dream? He does it all the time. I think God gave him this dream because his soul was at stake. As Christians we have to forgive everyone if we are to be forgiven of our sins. Graham was praying that something bad would happen to these guys. But he needed to see things from Gods perspective of love and he was then changed. Only God can change a heart through a dream like that. That's God love and grace.
It is true.
janellerules 3 years ago 3
The problems with believing this man are 1: anyone can say anything they want if they claim to be a christian and heard from God in a dream. 2: this guy promotes superstition. Superstition is a bad side effect of christianity. It is not of God and does the world great harm. It is deceptive. 3: this guy promotes evil by using this superstiion and prayer to attack people who don't agree with him.
BackwardsBound 3 years ago
You are a deceived person, BackwardsBound. You sit back and judge true christians while adhering to your own twisted false teachings. You uphold unbiblical truths, all the while claiming you know some great truth that others don't understand. You bring nothing new to the table, just the old forked tongue doctines of demons. I know you think you are right, but you are deceived.
janellerules 3 years ago 2
Dear Janelle,
It is difficult in these days to know what is truth and what is not. It can often be difficult to decide who or what is right.
I personally find the truth of the study of science the best. Unlike many religions, science admits when it doesn't know something, and when it's been wrong. Science is not taken personally or religiously. Science is simply observation of God's Universe.
I don't want to argue with you my friend. I just want to tell you this is where I come from.
BackwardsBound 3 years ago
Jesus is the truth.
You think science is truthful? Evolution is a theory, but they teach it as a fact. I don't know about you but it takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does creation. Even Darwin said his theory should be scrapted if we didn't find specimens to prove his theory. He said there should be millions and you know, they have squat. Don't even get me started on the global warming hoax.
Science is the study of what God made. It should not take the place of God as truth.

criticism is good for us in our professional and spiritual lives. It makes you careful. If you take reasonable criticism on board it helps you grow and challenges you to be open-minded, that is what I believe, and that is why I like getting it.
