 Re: Ray Comforts audio/video sermons on SI

I enjoy ray comfort a lot, i dont agree on some of the "tricks" to draw crowds and so on, but he has some very good things to share that we all need to hear. But also id like direct attention to [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=439]Mark Cahill[/url] , he will also i think be one of those that challange us out of our "comfort zone". One message that have really spoken to me is this one. [url=https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=11865]Lukewarm no more[/url]

God bless you all

 Re:

Yknow in light of the recent Keith Daniels message on Cal/Arm and then hmmm comment about not agreeing with Ray's "Tricks" I would like to make a comment or two.

Why do we feel the need to often say to others," Now I don't agree with everything such and such says but he's still a good teacher etc." ??

Often I catch myself saying it as well. Yet why do I really say this?

One reason that i might be saying this is cuz I want whoever I am speaking to know that I don't fall for certain questionable or false teachings. i want them to know I'm wise to this. I want them to see that I am discerning.

O.k. well some of those reasons seem good. However some not so good.

I remember years ago having a convo with a brother and he asked the same question, "why do we always feel we have to qualify so many of our statements? " Well I'm not saying I don't beleive such and such.... etc. etc.

Perhaps we know "to much" of doctrines of men point counter point.

I 'm just voicing an observation. I don't fully know all the in's and out's of my point.

Perhaps some have felt this as well..maybe not.

 Re:

Id like to add i have huge respect for what Ray has done and how many he has preached the gospel to, I was not in any way coming down on him or his ministry. My reason for being doubtful to some of his methods, one the giving out money thing he does or have done. Is i am not absolutely sure we should be doing such things, simply because I do not see the Lord or the apostles doing such things in scripture. So that is the reason i am very hesitant towards such things. but i would recommend ray any day of the week. And maybe we shouldent say as i did, but i often do :-) . Thank you for the observation, i will think on this even tho sometimes it can be good when someone shares a "heads up" on some teacher. Even the "good" ones out there. Now i would not consider this one i spoke any reason for not taking time to hear Rays teachings.

anyway test all things, including me ;-)

 Re:

Please understand hmmm my prev post was not pointing at you. It was more of an observation that I can't fully put my finger completely on at this time. Yet perhaps some have experienced this question in their mind..again maybe not.

dont worries, i read your post carefully and did not feel you pointed at me specifically. You could have and it would still be ok. I do usually do the same, but i think it is due to the vast deception in todays christendom. So much to beware of, so much that need "test all things" and i think we develop a habit of "scanning" things automatically and when we have our opinion and we share something with someone else, if we have something that we feel may not be the "best" that this man or ministry have to offer we might point that out as a helper.

I dont know really, but i do often do this, these are just my thoughts and i think now when i think about it we do this, or many of us :-) we endorse a man or ministry and then also we share what we perhaps we consider to be the "bone in the fish" so to speak.

 Re:

Heres a recent article by mark with flip Benham


Mark cahill goes to Abortion mill -first time



The title of this newsletter is an interesting question that made me think recently. While I was speaking recently in Connecticut, I spent two mornings in front of abortion clinics preaching the gospel with a group of believers. There were probably ten to fifteen of us each morning trying to persuade the ladies not to murder their child, and the men not to pay for that murder. One gentleman that was out there one day was 82 years old. For decades, he has been trying to persuade women to make the right decision about their unborn babies.

A lot of things from those mornings have stuck in my head. The hatred spewed at us from one abortionist was amazing. One lady went speeding past us as she pulled into the clinic, and almost hit one of the kids who was out with us. The police had to get involved in that one. Cars would pass by, honk their horns, and then flip us off. Why people would have such hatred for people trying to save babies is beyond me.

One of the instances that stuck with me the most was at one clinic where there were escorts who would take the ladies from the sidewalk or their cars, and escort them into the building. People in our group referred to them as ‘deathscorts’ since they were escorting the women in to murder their child. What really stood out to me was that these escorts were college students. Four college students, out early in the morning, escorting women to kill their babies. Then I was even more stunned to find out that they were from a ‘christian’ college, and they received community service hours for this ‘escorting’ service! How in the name of God have we fallen so far in this country that we would encourage college students to help people murder their children and then give them credit for it??

But despite all of the negative attention, we did have a lot of people who would stop and talk with us before they walked into the clinic. Many took literature. I asked the ladies, “Are you glad that your mother allowed you to be born?” They always answered ‘yes.’ Then I said, “Make sure your baby can say the same thing one day!” That statement seemed to really connect with a lot of the women.

One lady came out of the clinic crying big time. She must have gone through with the abortion. We let her know that whatever she did, she can be forgiven of that act. A female friend of the ministry told me, “Women are always upset after they get an abortion. You never see anyone leave a clinic post-abortion not crying. But you don’t usually cry after medical procedures, so why are they crying if they didn’t just take a life? It’s because God created women to know. It’s that motherly instinct, and they know that they are killing their child, but they are selfish, and they do it anyway.”

One Hispanic couple that was walking in to the clinic wouldn’t talk with me, but I was not sure they understood English, so I called over one of our Hispanic ladies, and she began talking with them, but they still went into the clinic. About a half an hour later, the young man came out of the clinic and began walking down the street. Two of our Hispanic women started walking with him and talking with him about what he was doing. All of the sudden, he ran into a Subway restaurant, so I went down the street and went into the same restaurant. He was buying a sub sandwich. I was stunned. Your girlfriend is committing murder; you are probably paying for it, and you are buying a sandwich? That just amazed me. So I pulled out my credit card to buy it for him. He wouldn’t let me do it. I told him Jesus said it is more blessed to give than receive, and I was going to bless him today. He still tried to pay, but I wouldn’t let the lady take his money. All of the sudden, tears welled up in his eyes. I got the feeling he had never been blessed like that before. The ladies told me outside that they were praying that I would represent a father figure to him because he may not have had one. After he took his sandwich and walked out the door, the ladies told me his whole countenance had changed. He seemed much more humble. He went back in the clinic, and thirty minutes later, he and his girlfriend walked out the door and didn’t choose to murder their baby on that day! Praise the Lord!!

I was watching a DVD recently called “Maafa 21: Black Genocide in the 21st Century.” It is about the fact that Planned Parenthood to this day still puts a majority of their clinics in low income areas. Black women account for 12% of the population, but have 37% of the abortions. The DVD stated that abortion kills as many blacks in four days that the Ku Klux Klan did in 150 years! So do you think that Satan and Planned Parenthood have been targeting black children?

The DVD also stated, “Since 1973, legal abortions have killed more African-Americans than AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and violent crime combined. Every week more blacks die in American abortion clinics than were killed in the entire Vietnam War. And the largest chain of abortion clinics in the United States is operated by Planned Parenthood.” So it seems fairly obvious that Satan is trying to kill an entire people group made in God’s image, but if you remember correctly, killing babies isn’t new. Herod was killing babies around the time of Jesus birth because he didn’t want the Messiah to come, and now we have babies being murdered all across the world before the return of Jesus Christ.

All of this got me thinking. Wouldn’t Mary have been the prime candidate in all of history to murder her child? She was trying to tell people that she had never slept with a man, and that God had come upon her to conceive her child. I bet that story went over well with her family and friends. You know people were gossiping that she had slept with Joseph. Wouldn’t she have been a prime candidate to get rid of that child? Of course in the world’s eyes, probably yes, but when you serve God, His ways are always much better than the world’s ways.

And what does God say about what He is doing inside a mother’s womb?

Psalm 22:10 says, "I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.”

Psalm 127:3 states, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is hisreward.”

Psalm 139:13 says, “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.”

Isaiah 44:24 states, “Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;”

Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

If Jeremiah was ordained from the womb, you can be rest assured that Jesus Christ was as well! Mary knew that. Mary knew that someone very special was inside of her. Murdering that child was not even an option. If you are a woman and if you have been, are, or ever will be pregnant, you can also be rest assured someone very special is inside of you. That person is made in the image of God. Do not murder that child! Men don’t pay for the murder of a child!

So as many of you celebrate the birth of Jesus this season, be very thankful that Mary gave birth to that Child, and please pray that women and men today would make that same decision with their babies as well.

I am glad you brought this up.

I have lost count of the times people have attempted to distance themselves from Calvinism in particular.

“Not that I agree with their Calvinism.”

“Hope I don’t sound like a Calvinist.”

Or

“…despite their Calvinism.”

Kinda’ funny… folks will tolerate any number of heretical teachings as long as they are not associated with the word Calvinism.

Oh well…

Not to stir up the Cal/Arm pot…just making note.

Perhaps certain teachings have left a bad taste in our mouth in the past and it simply seems best to distance ourselves from them.

If you must add a caveat to one preacher, you might as well add it to all.

Only Jesus was perfect.

Just rambling...
