A coach company has inaugurated a coach tour around Britain's most hated road, the M25, London orbital motorway. One lady passenger said "I always wanted to go on a round the world tour, but I didn't manage it, so I came on the round the M25 tour."

There is not a man in the country who can’t make a living for himself and family, but he can’t make a living for them and his government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap at the people do. Will Rogers If and when America civilization collapses, historians of a future date can look back and sneer, “They entertained themselves to death.” Jim Frankel When someone asked William Booth his great secret to happiness, he replied, “I never say no to the Lord.” Both cheerfulness and grumbling are contagious.

From another thread: There was an article a few years ago, I think it was called, Believe it or not you can read this. It said as long as the first and last letter in each word was correct, it didn't matter of the order of the other letters, you could read it.

If you haven't already, you after listening to this from the judge, you might want to watch this video posted by Pilgrim, if you haven't already. How much longer will the truth be tolerated at all?

I posted this video because the little alien character is asking all the questions I have asked myself. I have never came up with answers that are any more logical than the fellow giving the answers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EUS1m5MSt9k God bless, Larry

Good afternoon, I was told that this is the correct part of the Forum to ask questions so here it goes: I was going through the Forum and I noticed that the Forum for Men is in the part for Independent Fundamental Baptist and the Forum for "Ladies" is in Christian Living. Is there a particular reason for this? Since we are talking about men and women and I am trying to learn about Baptists I'd also like to ask if Independent Fundamental Baptists consider it "ok" or "good" for a woman to become a pastor. Even if it is a pastor for the young people in a big community with 2 pastors? (my girlfriend is a baptist that is currently doing her masters in Theology and is consi…

Hi everyone, So I was reading the link that someone shared with me about Baptists (http://baptistpillar.com/topical_index.html) and have a few questions: 1. Alcohool - What is wrong with alcohool? Jesus Himself drank wine. 2. KJV only - What is the basis to believe that only one translation possesses the Truth? 3. Crucifixion on a wednesday - I don't understand how this can be coherent with Scripture. For now just these... As I already have other topics where I am learning about other things.

After downloading and reading through the Baptist Handbook written by M.L. Moser, Jr, I have come to the conclusion that the book isn't worth the time Moser took to write it, nor worth the paper it was printed on. In it, false teachings abound. It is obvious when reading this book that Moser thinks his particular denomination is the only true Church. (Baptist Briders) Moser gives a list of several different denominations, including Freewill Baptists and Primitive Baptists. He goes on to tell the reader that this list of Churches are not of the True Church, the body of Christ. His explanation? Those Churches did not start in the first Century A.D, they did not sta…

Hi. With no disrespect to the people involved in the army, I was a little surprised to see an announcement about Veterans in the Forum. Can somebody explain to me what is the Scriptural evidence to support militarization? If this is the wrong place to ask the question I apologize. Thank you One in Christ, D

I'm just curious about this one. The number one argument against Ron Paul is that he isn't "electable." So I'm wondering, if Ron Paul won the GOP nomination, what would you do in November? I think Republicans would vote for my dog if she had an R in front of her name because they're so terrified of Obama (rightfully so). I think that anyone that wins the approval of the GOP instantly becomes eleactable in our current political climate. So that leaves the independents, what would they do? I think they'd vote for Paul as well, because many of his policies and his voting record appeal to indies: 1. Get rid of the income tax or lower it. 2. Bring the troops home.…

Although I am not a particular fan of President Lincoln (because of the unnecessary war between the states . . . . my feelings anyway), I believe the words from a speech he gave to apply as much today as they did in his day. The lawless mob that rules our nation today, from both Washington and Wall Street, is much more powerful than any our nation has ever faced in the past. . The following six paragraphs are from Abraham Lincoln in his Lyceum Address, January 27 1838 “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourse…

So here’s the story: Obama killed three U.S. citizens in three weeks without any due process. There were all in Yemen, and they were all Muslims. A very unconstitutional precedent has been set which will eventually be used against Christians. http://larouchepac.com/node/19941

Is the GOP Becoming the War Party? By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - March 8, 2012 Denouncing Republican "bluster" about war with Iran, President Obama went on the offensive Tuesday: "Those who are ... beating the drums of war should explain clearly to the American people what they think the costs and benefits would be." The president had in mind such remarks as those Newt Gingrich delivered to the Israeli lobby AIPAC that same day: "The red line is now ... because the Iranians are deepening their commitment to nuclear weapons" -- an assertion the Joint Chiefs and U.S. intelligence agencies say is blatantly false. They insist: Iran has not made the decision to buil…

Did 'The Great Society' Ruin Society? By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - February 24, 2012 "I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair, I'll fix it." Thus did Mitt Romney supposedly commit the gaffe of the month -- for we are not to speak of the poor without unctuous empathy. Yet, as Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation reports in "Understanding Poverty in the United States: Surprising Facts About America's Poor," Mitt was more right about America's magnanimity than those who bewail her alleged indifference. First, who are the poor? To qualify, a family of four in 2010 needed to earn less than $22,314. Some 46 millio…

Is it? I’m not into politics, because I’m not a fan of getting disappointed and my hope is in the return of Christ, not the return of conservatism (haha!) to the Republican party. At the same time I understand the responsibility to vote. From what I've heard, Romney is a liberal, Gingrich is a tramp, and Paul doesn't support Israel. What business do I have as Bible believing Christian voting any of them? At the same time Obama is a Communist. I enjoy having freedom, don't you? Should I refuse to vote and then secretly breathe a sigh of relief when my state goes red (I live in Idaho), or should I vote even if it's one of the above three guys? What's a guy su…

To Tell, or To Hear Some New Thing 1 2

Now is as good a time as any... To Tell, or To Hear Some New Thing Acts 17:21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) Hesitation, is it fear of offending, rejection, reprisal, or insufficiency? I’ve hesitated to post this because I knew I was implicating myself as much as anyone else. What do we do on social interaction web sites? We edify, right? Let’s hope that’s what we’re doing. If it isn’t to edify, then we need to examine motive. If the motive is wrong then we may need to verify we don’t have “an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.”

My ex BIL was a militant IFB pastor for many years. He and my sister had five daughters, two sets of twins and a single birth, and he was strongly against divorced men in the pulpit or even serving in the church. To my mother and fathers face he was "respectful", but in actions in front of his eife and kids at home he was a Pharisee making himself out to be far better than he was. After my sister divorced him for extreme mental cruelty towards her and the girls, he started using the verse about letting the unbeliever depart. After a couple of years working at Lowes he started working with the youth of the church he was attending and remarried. He later became the youth pastor. A couple of years later he threw ALL of his beliefs out the window to justify becoming a pastor again. He now pastors a church in S. Georgia. He councils others concerning divorce and consistently tries to relieve himself of any responsibility in his own. Sad... very sad. -

Biblically, my hubs and I believe it is still wrong. As to a divorced man giving counseling, well - if he has learned from what brought about the divorce and has grown spiritually, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't think the Bible addresses it, either, so there's nothing we could say is unbiblical about it. Now, if the man is an unrepentant adulterer, then no way (and believe me, there are far too many unrepentant adulterers in pulpits and/or involved in ministries). -

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either.
