[buddyrichrocks]

a wonderful talk. and a really great message. never seen anything like it. we should strive to be a little bit like him, while striving to "be" ourselves.

So, basically, you're saying that a man who wants everyone to love their neighbor is going against the Christian doctrine, just because he says it in a slightly different way than you do?

You're crazy.

[John Francis]

I was under the impression that this guy with my name was a born again preacher of righteousness, not a new age false, ,deceptive teacher worshipping"mother earth. I'll follow Jesus's words and follow in the things that were important to Him. It is the heart of man He is concerned with. He already told you what the end of the earth will be. And God will create a new heaven and earth. Eternity is a long time!
