Halloween

Ok so my 10th Halloween just passed. I was raised, told that Halloween is bad. I can't remember why.

Why is Halloween bad?

The Movie Theatre

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:17:03 GMT

Hola!

I come from a strong, Christian background. My mother and I agree about almost everything Christian. One thing I will never understand, though, is that she doesn't allow me to go to the movies. She says Christians shouldn't go to the theatre. I don't see what the problem is, as long as I'm seeing a clean movie. She says it's not uplifting to my spirit. But so are a lot of things that Christians do daily! So . . .

Do you think going to see a movie in the theatre is a bad thing? Why or why not?

Catholics and Mary, Mother of Jesus

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:34:02 GMT

I just finished Bible Study with my Mother. We read from 1 Timothy. A verse caught my eye.

1 Timothy 2:5 says "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

If this verse is in the Bible, why is it that Catholics believe that Mary is a the mediator, too? Correct me if I'm wrong. I just heard that from my Catholic boyfriend. I'm a Protestant, Pentecostal, Church of God believer. I've never understood the Hail Mary's. If someone out there could just clarify, that would be just peachy.

Thanks.

When You Need Him

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:54:59 GMT

Notes from church this morning:

Cane
- When God kicks it away, how will you stand?
- God will allow it for a season, but there comes a time when you'll have to stand on your own two feet
Work on your mindset
- Word of God
- Psalm 34:17 - "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."
- 2 Corinthians 5:21 - "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 - "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature."
By ourselves, we can't be right with God because of our sin nature
When we accept blessings by faith, we are made righteous
We can call God "Father" because of Jesus Christ
Asking God for fleshly things is not good for us
- "But seek ye first the kingdom of God . . ."
- When we trust God, He will give you things plus more
- Wait on God
- Let God supply your needs in His own manner
Wait on God to give you that new car
- Why do you need it??
- Many people don't pay their tithes because they're too busy paying for gas
- If God just gives you a reliable car, paise Him
The world is watching how God blesses us
- They question us Christians
- We present a currupt model to the world when we can't explain our blessings
Learn to honor God
When we need God, we must know where He is and where to find Him
"The righteous cry and the Lord hears."
Psalm 34:19 - "Many are the afflictions of the righteous."
God is not in the business of pampering anybody
It's time to stop drinking milk and start eating meat
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous."
Stop thinking church has the obligation of treating you right
You are going to be hurt whether you like it or not
Have you ever thought you might have hurt someone?
"What goes around, comes around."
Affliction is a part of Christian life
If your church isn't blessing you, you should find another one
- Sitting at home is denying God
- When you know God, you will drive--no matter how far--to worship Him
- Find a place where people come together and worship God
- Just make sure that they're not preaching hell
"Many are the afflictions . . ."
- The righteous must suffer
"But the Lord delivers us out of them all."

I do the Spanish greeting at church every Sunday. Today's "Idea del dia" was: Look forward to circumstances; they are signs that miracles are about to happen. It's amazing how what I say connects to Pastor's message. He always mentions my idea of the day in there somewhere.

If everything's alright, you might not be a candidate for a miracle.
Just whisper praise and watch Him show up
Luke 13
Because of a person's dress code, you might think nothing good can happen
But Jesus dressed as a humble man
Pool of Bethesda
- 38 years depending on someone
- One day, Jesus showed up
- "Wilt thou be made whole?"
- "There's nobody . . ."
When You need Him, He will show up
Jesus didn't leave him until he was walking
Jesus can deliver you any time
"Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity."
Hebrew 4:12 - "For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power . . ."
Isaiah 55:11 - "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
"Woman, thou art loosed . . ."
- Immediately, she was made whole
Just as the word was spoken then, those same words have the same power today
"Many are the afflictions . . ."
She is identified as righteous
Will you take God at His word today?
"Woman, thou art loosed!"
In the name of Jesus, you are loosed.
"His word shall not return to Him void."
When you need Him, He's always there.
Will you receive His word?
The woman acted when Jesus beckoned her to come
When Jesus saw her, he called her to Him
Then He spoke

Pardon me if some of the things don't make any sense. It's not the Pastor's fault. I'm just not that good at taking notes? But overall, the sermon was well preached. I think I'm going to take notes from now on.

Feedback would be lovely.

What do you think happens to us after we die?

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:59:32 GMT

Heaven or hell, depending on how we've lived our lives and what God thinks.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

What quality of yours would you like to pass to your kids?

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:51:02 GMT

My love for God and the fact that I have no desire of going out into the World.

Protestant vs. Catholic

53 views on the "Lust" entry, but no comments?

Umm . . . thanks. Let me try again.

What are your feelings on a Protestant getting married to a Catholic?

Lust: What exactly is it?

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:56:28 GMT

Ok so I've been going to church for as long as I can remember. I've only missed a Sunday morning service a handful of times. I got Baptized on the 18th of July, 2004 when I was 13.

Although all this is true, I cannot seem to get a proper answer to the following question:

What exactly is lust? I need a really good answer. Like, with mad details. I really hope someone will answer this. Please. I want to know if I'm sinning.

What would you do if you were faced with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy?

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:51:18 GMT

I wouldn't be faced with an unwanted pregnancy. I'm one of the few teens out there who thinks that sex is disgusting and I never plan on doing it.

I'll worry about that stuff after marriage.

Right now, I can only get pregnant if I'm raped [in that case, I'd carry through with it, even though I'd really not like that father for a very long time. But I don't believe in abortion. That's murder!] or if I get married [in that case, I wouldn't do anything about it. I'd love the child a whole lot and not regret the pregancy because that's what I get for having sex].
