The way it was described to me is that a man who never had opportunity to hear about Jesus arises one morning, steps outside, gazes at his surroundings..., and comes to the realization that his world had to be created by something or someone. At this point the Lord accepts him into the Family...

Not much RD2. I hadn't posted on here in quite a while so thought I'd take another chance by posting on Billy Graham but I see that nothing much has changed. If I were to post on here that 'Right is Right and Left is Left' it wouldn't be but about 10 minutes and someone would come on telling...

...you charge what people are willing to pay! If you have 25 customers paying 20 bucks or 100,000 customers paying 10 bucks...

I can agree with you, Calminian. A drink on occasion hurts no one! For me it might be a can of beer once or twice a year. Wine..., can't stand the stuff. It gives me heartburn just smelling it. Three or four years ago I tried a 1 ounce shot of whiskey every day as my stomach was going nuts...

I wasn't aware of that but good for him.

Thanks. I'll be listening. Yes, Graham had a very simple message with absolutely NO STRINGS attached when it comes to the Gospel of Salvation. As he was not 'a pastor' he wasn't able to engage in deep theological messages. Just wasn't enough time. In that article I read about him, in TIme...

(Are you insane!) ...yes, TCassidy Administrator.., I must be 'insane'. Insane to even think I could "contribute" to this forum. I provided my source which is all I had to go by. Perhaps you should contact Time Magazine and tell 'em they got it all wrong.

I read a brief history the other day regarding Billy Graham and his enrolment at Bob Jones University back in 1939. BJU was just getting started when Graham arrived and he soon discovered that some of the rules were way over the top. For example, young men were forbidden to talk with female...

Well, I'm glad to see that a couple of you agree with me. For sure, satan is alive and well on planet earth and working overtime.

...and I can prove it! Not with 'tangible proof' perhaps but know for sure that satan is in your church and more active than most all of its members. He isn't in any dead church as they are already dead. No, he is active in all those that preach Jesus. So why have so many lost their...

Yes, a bit of confusion I would say. Could he have been voicing a dose of sarcasm?

...Tennessee, I wasn't trying to convince you.

How many (decent) fathers would idly stand by allowing their children to suffer through any tribulation type of harm? How then could our Heavenly Father stand by allowing His children to endure any tribulation type of harm? Yes, we suffer hardships in life but when the days of Tribulation...

You ask, "Is this experience of a radical change immediately after the prayer of salvation normal?" Each of us react differently, I suppose, but the most radical and instant change is within..., as it was to the blind man when he confessed..., "I was blind but now I see!" (John 9:25) To me...

I was born into my worldly family in 1945. I can run from them; reject them; dislike them; disown them, but they are still my parents. My parents, for eternity, will still be my parents and I cannot walk or run away from this fact, or them! No matter how far I run they are still my parents...

The Lord called me back in 1972. I answered His calling. Since then, due to my various employments my wife and I transferred to several cities and as such, joined many churches. In 1979 we became a permanent fixture in the city for which we live and, again, shopped around ending up affiliating...

Copied & Pasted. David Ring was born in Jonesboro, the seat of Craighead County in eastern Arkansas, the son of Baptist pastor, Oscar Newton Ring. Ring's father died in 1964. Cancer took his mother four years later. Ring was hence an orphan at the age of fourteen. Depressed from the...

"Did the church ever have business meetings" Not really. ...course, I've been in some business meetings in other churches where you had to bring your own helmet but not in this church.

"...and what was the pastors response?" ...nothing. There wasn't a response.

This is to request legitimate insights into the reasoning behind total control over a church exercised by some Pastor's. I "used" to belong to a church where the Pastor was a fabulous preacher and teacher. I gleaned much from him and really enjoyed attending each service. The issue is that...
