Hi everyone,

My name is Rose and I live in Ontario Canada. I have been married for 25 years to my best friend. He and I love the Lord with all of our heart!!

We have two children-born the same years as Shekel. A boy in 1988 and girl in 1990. We also homeschool them.

My grandfather moved in about 4 years ago and he is 93 now. We have quite the mix of ages at our house. We live on a hobby farm with goats, rabbits, dogs and cats. Got rid of the chickens years ago because scared of Avian Flu. No I was just kidding.

I love everyone here and I am learning soooo much. I too believe we are in the end times. We just need to keep in the word and we already know what the news will be like.

My children have had visions and I have had many dreams. We also have felt Satan's presence. He is always trying to get Jesus' followers.

God bless you and nice to meet all of you!!
from Rose

Dear Whosoever,
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I pray God wraps His arms around you and you will always feel at peace. My mother passed away last October and I miss her very much. My father is still grieving and I feel he always will. Thank God for the memories.

I have comforted my father many times by telling him that mom is walking with Jeus with no pain. They won't have to go through all the evil things coming on the earth. That to me is a blessing. I should really say Jesus is the one who comforts us the most. He is always with us. Sometimes I don't find the right words, but His words are always true and that is a comfort in these days and always.

God bless,
p.s I too am glad that I found this forum!!!!
from Rose who is looking up and waiting His return

Welcome all!!! Rosie, Hisloveabides, Tenbear, and Jolbahano!

I hope you all enjoy your stay here, please stick around there is much to learn!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hisloveabides,
Sorry for you loss, may the Lord comfort you as you will find many friends here to support you in every way.

God bless you all!

Hi, My name is Lissa 41 years old. I live in NE Kansas, single, no children well except my 10 third grades of which I am a small group leader on sunday mornings. I found this site while googling for bible codes related to hurricane katrina.

Thankyou everyone for the welcomes and words of encouragement. I can tell this is a wonderful family. Praise the Lord!

Newbie here, I have been reading through some of the topics here and as a born again Christian I feel there could be some very helpful people on this board. I will be around. By the way don't let my screen name scare ya. It's a Mississippi thang.

Welcome!! I use to live in Olive Branch Ms. What is the Ms thang?

Stacy

Just the word Rebel, you would be amazed how I am greeted on other boards because of my screename, by the way I live in OB.

"Rebeldude", Ha! that is just way too funny. Alabama here.

I sure hope you come with that Olive Branch in tow....

leia

Wow~That is a nice town. My husband was a co manager at Wal-mart there. I was an Assistant manager in Sentatobia, Ms. Small world.

Stacy

Welcome Rebeldude

Shalom

OB is a nice place right now, great schools, but the growth is really taking its toll on the small town atmosphere. I wished the current administration would stop all of this crazy residential development. If not for me to stay in the woods I'll have to move a little further south, but I can't move to much further south because I earn my living in Memphis, Whoo what a bad place.

Olive branch in tow.. yes, Actually I am born again Christian of about 2 years and have never been happier.

Thanks, hope to discuss with you later.

Tell me about it, we also lived down town memphis before moving to ms. I worked there in Germantown. We lived there during one of the memphis in may events, I had never seen anything like that before. I would go out the next morning to go to work and there would be intoxicated people just passed out everywhere. Certainly not a place for kids. We did like the country in OB also. Thats to bad that it has to grow.

Hi everyone. I am brand new here. My purpose here is that I would like to post about things most churches and pastors hardly ever talk about in sermons or Bible classes. So I hope you don't take any of my collective statements too personally. My convictions are about general things. I am convicted to do this for the Lord. I am asking for your understanding.

I am a house cleaner, volunteer evangelist and every once in a while I visit my native country (Okinawa) for evangelism. I have been a Christian for about 7 years and all of my children became committed Christian after I became one. Praise the Lord!!!!

thank you
His servant

Hi Gingercat
Welcome to the Christain forum.
You are a native of Japan so where do you live now? How often do you get to go back?
Kim

Hi, Kim, thank you for your interest. I married American GI in 73. Since then I have been living in US. I have been to Okinawa 3 times since I became Christian. Right now my family has been supporting VOM (Voice Of the Martyers) and Gospel for Asia. They need so much help, I have been taking a break going back to Okinawa to support them more.

Because I am committed to help those persecuted Christians overseas, we are not committed to any local church. I can support others only so much.

Welcome!! So glad you have joined us!

Thank you loving.

I try my best to behave myself so please easy on me

Welcome Gingercat, glad to have you with us. May you also be blessed by us.
Cornelius

Hey everybody i'm new here and also new to this forum thingy so i still gotta know how this forum thingy works so lived in the philipines i'm 15 yrs old 3rd year highschool going to be 16 in dec 22

everybody is right here even the guy who doesnt believe in the bible its true that the bible is no longer complete because sorry to say this but some christians hide the truth of the bible especially the church why because some parts are said to be heretical even though there not and God doesnt do miracles no more to the public because most of us cant even see whats really going on no offence.

i joined this forum thingy cause believe it or not i am having visions which happen when i least expect it and i need HELP!!

He/she hasn't posted here yet, perhaps later, but did you notice the newest member's forum name? It looks like a manorah....

very cool

Welcome BOGUY and GINGERCAT.

Boguy,

Yes the Catholic church hides a lot of truth. There is corruption in a lot of things. But with the true WORD OF GOD and the scriptures there is nothing corrupt there. It is all truths! The prophecies are being fullfilled and there is so little time and so much to learn.

Glad you both are here.

Are you sure you are brand new?

I hope you are not "gingerly" as the name suggest?

I welcome you gingercat and encourage you to speak out about the things of God. God requires you hot, not cold or in-between.

i agree, not all issues that require our close attention are covered in regular sermons or Bible studies; so your contributions should enrich us on the Forum.

Welcome.

Love of christ.


MBATOMON

Hi everyone,

I already introduced myself in my testimony I hope everyone read it.

thank you

Welcome Ginge baby!! Look forward to speaking with you!

PS....is this any relation to you?

Thank you Cherry, I like that cute budgy cat. I have a cat just like that instead she is a black and white. All she is interested is about food.

Hello this is Maz. I want to say greetings. This looks like a place with a lot of lively hope.

1Pe 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1Pe 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 1Pe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

I am a "Word" man (Jesus is the word Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ) so let us sharpen our swords together! Pro 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Maz

Welcome Mazinaw, glad you have joined us

Word to ya!

Hello in Jesus name...

Welcome Mazinaw!!



Amen to that!

Word to ya!

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Pro 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Few realize that the word of God can be used to destroy. That is why it is a sword. But I digress...give me five there lov4all!

Maz

Mazinaw,
Welcome to the forum. We have a watering hole here. Jump in anytime for you are welcome here.
We are family
Kim

Yes, Welcome Mazinaw! We are glad to see you are here.
Have a wonderful night!

Maz..
Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding to you through the LORD Jesus Christ.

Welcome to the forum.

It IS written.
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

We'll see if God's been speaking to you or you've been learning elsewhere.

The two edged sword has been given to both bring life and kill.
I look forward to having 27:17 fulfilled in my life with you. Please expect the same
and may the LORD Jesus be glorified in all of our communication.

Much love and Peace in Jesus, Tom

Someone that is new to the forum lets give them a welcome like the one we would want when we started here.
Kim

Kim48, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was just thinking what you said and then I ran onto your post.

God does know how to put us together.
For some reason I have been crying and having goosebumps like you
can't believe while I am reading everyones introductions.

It is like I already know all of you. I just can't explain it, but I know we can't get to the Father unless we go through Jesus.

It breaks my heart when I read someone post that they don't believe in Jesus.
Oh He is real alright. Just ask my children who have had visions of Jesus and have seen their guardian angels.

I believe without having visions. I have had dreams but not visions. I just feel Him with me. Jesus said He left the Holy Spirit with us and He never lies.

The Father. Son and Holy Ghost

Kim..

Since your post was directly after my welcome to Maz I was just wondering if your words were directed at me?

I hope not but since you weren't clear as to who they were directed at and since
they were posted right after my post I feel as though they were directed at me.
If I'm wrong, please let me know. If I'm right then please explain why you feel
my post was out of line.

It is best to just come right out and reprove who you think needs reproving and then state why. That way no one has to read between the lines and no one will
mistake your intents.

As for my post to Maz..let's see how he responds. I have a hunch he and I are
ONE in the Holy Spirit but like the Word says..test the spirits.

Kim, I'll be looking forward to reading your reply.

Maz..I'll be looking forward to reading yours also.

Peace, Tom

Hi Tomcat
What I posted is for everyone who thinks the words were directed at them.
When a person walks in to our place of fellowship lets welcome them the way we would want to be welcome.
My first time here I was unsure and alittle afraid to post anything but thank to the wonerful people here I felt so welcome.
I would like to say thank you to so many here for making me feel welcomed. Marta, Dennis,Bz, oh my goodness I cant even begin to start with name because there are som many so I'll just say a big THANK YOU for treating me so nice and making me feel so welcome.
Kim

I am looking forward to having 27:17 fulfilled in my life as well...on a 24/7 basis. When masters of intellect and the word combine.

"We'll see if God's been speaking to you or you've been learning elsewhere."

Perhaps that statment is meant to echo off me like this

word to ya.

Pro 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.

1Jo 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 1Jo 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

to which you replied..
"Hi Tomcat

So by the first line of your reply I guess I can assume your post was directed at me.
How did I not make Maz feel welcome? My first words to him were..
"Welcome to the forum."

If you have a problem with me or any of my posts then please don't beat around
the bush. Come right out and address me state your concerns and why and let's go from there. I did not say anything disrespectful to Maz.
He wrote..
"I am a "Word" man (Jesus is the word Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ) so let us sharpen our swords together! Pro 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."

In case you didn't understand what he was saying by quoting Pro.27:17 and saying, "so let us sharpen our swords together!"..
He was inviting likeminded brethren to reason in the scriptures. I found that very
bold and refreshing. He certainly is not "unsure and a little afraid to post".

I am a "Word man" also and like the scripture he quoted (Proverbs 27:17) Iron
sharpens Iron.

I also wrote to him..
"I look forward to having 27:17 fulfilled in my life with you. Please expect the same
and may the LORD Jesus be glorified in all of our communication."

There are many different parts and callings in the body of Christ. Maz approached
this forum as a Word warrior. I not only respect that but I "WELCOME" such
brethren.

To portray me as anyone not welcoming someone to this forum is wrong. If I had
come here for the first time and posted what he did and then got a response such
as I gave him I would be elated. He will be also.

And like I wrote to you, Kim..
"As for my post to Maz..let's see how he responds. I have a hunch he and I are
ONE in the Holy Spirit but like the Word says..test the spirits."

Let's see how he responds. I think he and I are going to get along just fine.

Peace, Tom

Dear Maz,
Rightly divided truth to you always through the LORD Jesus Christ.

Word to you too, Brother.

2Tim.2:15,16
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But *shun(avoid) profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more ungodliness.

Maz, Happy you are back. Yes, that statement was to echo off of you. and
vice-versa. HIL

Kim..
Now do you see what I mean? How perfect Maz had already posted back and
I didn't see it until after I relied to you.

Peace,Tom

Welcome to the forum, Maz! May you be greatly blessed!

I have heard that Christianity makes one young but wow...is this a Rose in full bloom, or just a fresh bud?

Son 2:1 I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys. Son 2:2 As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the daughters.

Hey Maz... haha... I'm older than I look... that was a pic taken at 5 yrs old... but I'm all grown up now! I do appreciate the verse... Song of Songs is one of my fav books in the Bible. :-) Hope you're doing fine today!

word to ya

Pro 27:9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so [doth] the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

word to ya

Pro 27:5 Open rebuke [is] better than secret love.

Amen..


Word to us all..


Proverbs 23:23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Peace,Tom

Isaiah 52:7 -

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith until Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Peace be to all!
