www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y01DPA0detQ&feature=related . Story of Alex Jones. This is interesting,what do you all think of Pentecostals? some of the posters comments are 'May all protestants see this video and see the light of truth' and Baptists only allowed whites? and the 'sleeper of Bayblon' mentioning Alexander Hislop whose book has been discredited I believe. Was there ever racism in the RCC? I remember blacks in my church many many years ago.....and they were involved in Parish work. I see Dr: Scott hahn also on you tube and then we have Robert Sungensis Some changes these days.

hebrews 2 :4
God also bearing them witness ,both with signs and wonders,and with divers miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WILL.
A question.
What does the RCC believe about the gift of tongues. there seems to be great controversy over this among non-Caths.With some claiming you are not saved until you have this gift
(read above verse)
Now the Pentecostal gift was given and Mary would also be included in tongues etc:
So what of the reformers? how mant spoke in tongues? and if they did not were they saved? because according to some Christians you are not.
There is also a laughing/giggling ministries who emphasise this gift, also some TV programs
do you think this is right?
talking of serious things and laughing/giggling at the same time?
what is the gift of JOY?
Laughter at the right times is great, so is dancing so is joyfullness.
but going around grinning and laughing hysterically I can't see that personally
I mean where in the Scriptures do we see the Apostles acting this way or Jesus? or the OT prophets........King David had a whole range of emotions and showed his feelings at different times. so he was not in a laughing/giggling modd continuosly was he.
and was it not said the Holy Spirit would not depart from him?
Just some thoughts
anyone?

This is taken from a Christian booklet
Our emotions,however are God given, They're a characteristic of our having been made in God;s image gen 1;27. he grieves, In gen: 6;6,7 he was sorrowful and angry about his people's sin and separation it caused between Him and them .Jesus God in the flesh joined his friends Mary and martha in grieving over the loss of their brother Lazarus (John 11 28-44) he groaned in the spirit and was troubled)v 33 He wept v 35, Jesus again groaning in Himself came to the tomb v38.
Don't listen to those who say Do not grieve , This was said to me in the JWS, and don't listen to those who say laugh all the time. here we have the perfect example of Jesus so we should listen to HIM.

How sad to see leaders/preachers too proud to admit their mistakes,
Where in the Bible do we see anyone insisting on you having gifts, insisting on something not even God does. God never forces anyone. so why do some Denoms do this? are they boasting do you think?
Do people boast far too much in their capabilities? /Ministries /PEOPLE ?how does God view this?
steer clear of such ones , whatever God wants you to have you can be sure you will have it, Whatever you ask will be given.
Don't let any ministry dictate to you.....
Would the Apostles and Mary and the Lord act like clowns ? WITH THEIR PENTECOSTAL GIFTS?I cannot see it in the Bible can you? Where does say Peter do cartwheels? or act like a chicken , or cackle and zap people ? so these ministries who promote nonsense . ..... Don't listen to them. Evangelical Ministries are Bible based, and that is good. but some have taken things a bit too far and insist on being right.......
Great to receive gifts so long as they are Godly ones ,not fleshly ones..
I am open to anything the Lord wants me to have, and this is it you must trust in HIm He knows all about us inside and out........This is the beauty of a loving God who cares for His children.He it is who is faithful and true.... and never leaves us or forsakes us.
The Watchtower and all other ministries who fail people, all the blind guides will account to God , meanwhile here is the Lord our great God walking the road with us, picking us up when we fall down ever and always ready to love us no matter what.........
all we need do is ask Him for His love. for His forgiveness ......... and leave the rest in His capable hands , He will show us bit by bit. He it is who moulds and shapes us into the kind of people He wants us to be............... AMEN.

Should we be afraid of what God can do? absolutely not. signs and wonders Great and Biblical,,,, we have an awesome God,,,,,who knows what He is doing from start to finish. It could very well be he is shaking up churches  sounds okay to me. Does God do this? well only have to see Jesus Ministry ..... Jesus went 'outside' the establishment. to the people tossed and thrown around........... as well as 'in' the establishment.... With atheism on the increase I wonder how they would view something spectacular , some supernatural Godly event? |

Natural laws? how would they answer this poor girl?
