General Discussion / Re: Roe v. Wade: Why Now?

« on: April 06, 2024, 10:15:58 PM »

There's too many weak and gutless cowards in the US to fight another " civil war" although I would personally not mind participating if it were to happen again. The more I read and study God's word the more I realize the words of Christ when He says, My Kingdom is not of this world. I do my best to have that mindset every day with all that's going on. The furtherance of God's Kingdom is worth more than all the world could give and more.

Thank you. That clears up the misunderstanding I had.

General Discussion / Official street preacher

« on: April 02, 2024, 03:00:38 PM »

Have any of you ever heard of Rich Penoski ( I think I spelled his last name wrong ) and his " ministry " official street preachers? It used to be called " warriors for Christ ". He was heavily influenced by Reuben Israel, that I know for sure. Something just doesn't seem right about that whole thing and I was just wanting to know what anyone thought about it. Thanks

General Discussion / Claiming To Serve God

« on: April 02, 2024, 02:56:43 PM »

Other than several replies on this forum that I've made, it's been a while since I've been on this forum and to be honest I was actually expecting to be banned for whatever reason which thank God I haven't been. I've changed jobs and I'm now on a new schedule with my current job. I used to meet up with some people a while back and at one point we were going to start a " church ". That didn't go over well and me and a few others broke off from that guy because of misuse of funds. All this was before I even knew this ministry existed. One of the guys I continued to meet on a regular basis and go give out tracts, along with another fellow. We'd meet at his house and sometimes near Vanderbilt on west end in Nashville to do the same as well as Centennial park. The last time I checked he's been working with a local " church " and doing things for it in what he calls serving God. Him along with several other people who I thought would like to take part in street preaching, put in different words, came up with some type of reason/excuse as to why that's not the best way to reach people or that I am doing it wrong. He's part of a 501c3 church by the way and I told him the truth behind it and I'm pretty that's why him and the other guy pretty much want nothing to do with me anymore which is fine because as God's word says " there's a reason for everything under the Sun ". Although It'd be nice to have a partner in ministry who thinks the same. I personally wouldn't break fellowship with someone over trivial/minor subjects because I believe it's good to have certain discussions. What are some thoughts on this? If I need to clarify more on this feel free to let me know, you won't hurt my feelings . Thank you.

General Discussion / Re: Negative Amazon Review

« on: April 02, 2024, 02:30:58 PM »

Chris is right when he says truth is not based on majority opinion so it doesn't matter what anyone says against his book. I've read his book and purchased several to give to people who are willing to read it. Chris is obviously not God and just a man like many of us and I'm sure he'll admit that. He has put in a whole lot of time and effort into writing that book and many others and I'm very sure he'll continue to do so. God has used his writings to help me grow in my faith even to the point where my blood relatives don't like to hang around me and people who say they're my friends have pretty much abandoned me because of my growth in Christ. The person and people like that person who posted the negative review is a false convert, a wolf in sheep's clothing. I highly encourage anyone to read his books and articles. I recommend his articles to people at work and especially to people that I talk to while preaching on street corners.

I just read your responses to cal and I can honestly say that you handled it better than most people I know would have. That and your last reply was pretty funny, at least to me being as I have a big sense of humor. People like him refuse correction and I know there's a verse somewhere that talks about that and if I recall correctly it calls people like him fools.

General Discussion / Disagreements

« on: April 02, 2024, 02:02:27 PM »

I know God's word says something about followers of Christ being of one mind but I do not recall, at the moment, where that particular verse is. I personally believe  that if someone distances themself from someone they have a disagreement with, by that I mean a non essential/minor subject, is an act of cowardice because they didn't talk to that person as to why they feel the way they do and hide behind their screen in their own safe place. What are some other views on this? Thank you and God bless you all.

« on: May 03, 2023, 11:40:05 AM »

Stay in God's word and separate yourself from the wicked. You'll be persecuted in some way if you haven't been already but just remember to never be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. I strongly encourage you to purchase some sound biblical tracts, or make your own, and at least give them out. More so than that going out into your communities and street preaching will more than likely reach more people. Don't worry ( at all ) about results. Just remember that God's word says that I planted Appollos watered but Christ gave the increase. Sorry if I made a mistake in this post.

This obviously took place a good while ago. I just pray that fred has actually came to biblical repentance by now. If he's living by how he previously wrote on here still then he hasn't.

Bible Discussion / Re: Evil Spirits & Souls Passing Through Water

« on: October 28, 2022, 05:53:59 PM »

I could be wrong but I believe one reason that the demons didn't want to be cast into the deep is because they couldn't feed off of a living soul. God is can obviously be everywhere at once and perhaps they were afraid of something regarding that. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.. That's interesting in regarding the demons and the swine.

What's New @ CLE / Re: (BOOK PUBLISHED) Christmas: Rejecting Jesus

« on: October 02, 2022, 11:17:40 AM »

I've read the older article and most of the updated one I do have to say that it has helped me so very much. The more I read the more I hate the holidays ( there's obviously nothing holy about them ). I truly appreciate the fact that you say to go to God's word and read it for yourselves and don't take what I say at face value. There's very few ( creationLiberty ), if any,  " ministries " that say that. That's why I always recommend your ministry site to people when I'm talking to them. Most of my family take part in " christmas " in some shape form or fashion. It's difficult being around them close to those times and especially when they bring it up. I was just wondering how you or anyone else would go about it...? They know where I stand on issues such as that. Sometimes I just bite my tongue and say nothing but most of the time I rebuke them using scripture. They like to talk behind ones back and if they don't then they have no logic or context in their comments during a conversation when the topic arises especially when it comes to scripture. Thank you very much.

What's New @ CLE / Re: (ARTICLE) Jesus Said There Are Many False Converts

« on: October 02, 2022, 11:05:05 AM »

I'm going to read the article but I would first like to let be made known that the picture of the perrat great.. . I spoke with a guy yesterday handing out tracts from a church called pilgrim baptist church. It seemed to me that he was there promoting a business. I'm curious to know what some of you think when someone claims to be of Christ in that situation who says that nowhere in the Bible does Jesus say go stand on a street corner and rebuke sin while at the same time say you're supposed to. It was an unexpected conversation being as I was helping my wife at an event and when I saw this guy I was walking my son to the restroom. If more detail is given just let me know and I'll be happy to do my best. Thank you all.

I'm truly looking forward to reading this book after it's published. I've heard about Ray comforts view on repentance but I was skeptical at first. I used to follow his ministry heavily and purchase books and tracks from that ministry. Thank you for marking the references about his view on repentance which isn't the biblical definition. I'll do what I can on my part to let the truth be made known. Again Thank you very much.

I believe that some of the reasons are they want to get people used to making those who are for life out to be the " bad guys ". I also believe they want people to see the life as something that should not be cherished. They are being like snakes in the grass.

I wonder if we'll  ever hear about arrests being made within departments that are supposed to be stopping these people...? If there are any I doubt it'll be covered on a grand scale.

This helps fuel the righteous anger against sin when I preach God's word on the sidewalks where ever I'm lead to go. Rest assured this will be dealt with very harshly one day.
