Invicta

This evening I did spicy chicken wings.

They had their remembrance service 2 days before passover, on Tuesday.

I looked up three recipes for this and they all said use good quality beef. One said rib eye steak the other two said filet steak which is very expensive. Today I had roast beef and veggies. I have got a leg of lamb in the freezer, I will have to use that sometime. I bought it when it was on ½price offer for Easter, and put in the freezer and forgot about it.

Hi Salyan, I didn't get on the internet much for a long time. I did miss a bit out on that post. I thought I had said that "I met someone who belonged to a New Frontiers church. I challenged him etc" How are you. I don't get out much these days as my legs are not good but sometimes I go shopping on my mobility scooter which the family call my batmobile. Sorry we didn't get to meet you when you came to the UK. I would ha e liked to show you the Martyrs memorial in Canterbury. I suggest that when visitors want to see the Cathedral. I am now living in Ashford and we also have a memorial here. Come to think I have never visited it although some people have a service there every year. The maIn Asford martyr was John Brown a Lollard.

Today I did lamb steak in gravy with Dauphinoise potatoes carrot and green beans .

The only group I know who would come under that heading is New Frontiers started by Terry Virgo. I challenged him about some of their teachings and he gave me a book by Terry Virgo. It has very short chapters and I think I read the first eight. It told how he hid the fact that he was charismatic when he became a pastor. And he held special Friday meetings with one couple and when he had indoctrinated them added another couple etc. Eventually the two deacons gave up trying to fight and resigned which left Virgo to do as he pleased. I passed the book on to an elder of a church which I thought would be under charismatic infiltration and told him to watch out for his church.

I have always understood that to mean "If I were to" .

Roast beef, baked potato and steamed veggies.

On someone else's plate.

JWs don't believe in Hell. They say it is just the grave and there is no eternal punishment. Atheists and JWs would be pleased if that is the case. There are usually 2 standing at the end of our road most mornings but they weren't there today and I don't think they were last week either. Perhaps they have Tuesday off. Some friends who gave us a lift to our service on Sunday said that they don't talk to them as it is a waste of time. I said that is not for us to decide, God can use every little bit to add to the last and make them think. They are indoctrinated to obey rather than think.

It is strange that whe I speak to JWs and ask who will be saved, the quote that verse. Except one, who said "Believe on Jesus Christ and you will be saved." There are usually a couple at the end of our road most mornings, they seem to change to another couple after an hour. One named Godwin who is an elder wants me to sit on a bench in the park and discuss the bible with him but I said I was quite happy sitting right there on my mobility scooter. I invited him to come to our house and sit in the garden and discuss the scriptures with me. Eventually he agreed and I gave him a scripture verse and asked him to think what it meant to him to start with. He asked what my take on it was but I said "I'm asking you think about it and we can discuss it when you come." 1 Corr 6:19,20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. They say the Holy Spirit is only a force not God. Who lives in a temple? Depending on his answer I will direct him to the scriptures where Paul says "You are the temple of the living God" Also who if the first and last. Their bible says Jehovah in a couple of places and in others it is plainly Jesus. They say jesus is a god, not The God. They also say Jesus died an a torture stake not a cross and that the cross is a pagan sign which shows that churches are based on paganism. But their watchtower magazine used a cross in a crown on the cover till the first issue in 1931 after which they took it off.

Jesus sid it would be as in the days of Lot. In a book * written in about 1902, the author commented on that and said he didn't see how that could happen. I think any Christian in my childhood would have said the same. But they wouldn't say that now. One person who saw a comment like mine said that it was not the entire population but only the rapistsn it God told Abraham that he would spare the city if he could find ten just men. If we look at the account in Genesis we see that Lot chose that area because the pasture was well watered. If it is like some of the pictures I ha e seen, it is barren, and not a plain, but a hollow nearly 1,000 feet below sea level, the ,lowest part on dry land. As the salt sea is drying up, ruins have been found with layers of ash and ball of sulphur (brimstone). Shown on YouTube. * History unveiling prophecy by Henry Grattan Guinness.

Jack chick reprinted The secret history of the Jesuits, by Edmond Paris. He said that he was murdered, but I don't think he gave any details. I have just looked and it just said "He became a martyr for Jesus." Avro Manhattan who wrote a number of books on a similar subject was found hanged at home, and the inquest said it was suicide but there were suspicions that it was a Putin oligarchs type of suicide.

In my previous church, members business meetings were better attended than the usual bible Studies and prayer meetings.

Yes quite a lot. One interesting thing that I read in one of his books was that the Pooe wanted Japan to attack Russia. But they attacked Pearl Harbour. Had they followed the papal wishes, then the USA may never gave joined the war. Also The Vatican against Europe, by Edmond Paris. I had a book called The Spanish Holocaust. I had just started to read it when my friend whose mother was Spanish and lived at the time of Franco's persecutions asked if he could have it. Hundreds of thousands of Republicans, Christians and Democrats were executed.

I have a map of Jerusalem, Jordan, dated 1959. One tomb is marked as the tomb of the blessed virgin. Where does that leave the doctrine of the assumption?

The current Pope is the first Jesuit to become Pope. He was behind the Argentine dictatorship when thousands disappeared and murdered and often children were taken from them and given to Catholic families. The US president is a Catholic, so watch out. From the time that the popes got their full persecuting powers in about AD 1200, Christian's recognised the papacy as the Antichrist. And true believers did not believe any other until the early 1800s when the Jesuit teachings of preterism and Futurism were absorbed by protestants. Has Rome changed?

Sorry. 3 days and 3 nights, my bad.

Last Saturday, my daughter and son in law held a barbecue for those who attend her English language class for immigrants. All those who attended were South Americans, from Nicaragua, Columbia, etc. There were 27 attended altogether, 4 family members, 4 church members who help with the class (1 lady member is Mexican who translated the bible reading and short message) there were 9 or 10 adult class members and the rest children. Some of them come to our church services end couple of the women bring their children to Sunday school. I am not allowed to share photos as some left their homes as they were in danger. The Sunday before a couple that attended our evening service, at the fellowship refreshments after, were in a huddle with my daughter and son in law. My daughter had earlier given them Spanish bibles. F. was very pleased as they are not allowed bibles in their home country. They are RCs and my S. I. L explained the difference between the mass and the Lord's Supper. They seemed very open to the gospel. Today I did steak (cauliflower cheese grills for my wife) and fries with peas.

Mary was not the mother of God. She was the mother of Jesus. God chose Mary so she must have been a Calvinist.

In the far north of Scotland was a fishing port at Wick. The fishermen Went down the east coast of Scotland and England and theit wives followed them and worked processing the fish in the ports where their boats landed the catch. They were known as Fishwives. During some of these journeys some of the men were evangelised and were saved. They founded The Wick Harbour Mission and themselves evangelised as the visited other fishing ports. Then Britain joined the EU and due to the European Common Fisheries Policy, whe Wick fishermen lost their quotas as the fishing grounds had to be shared with the EU fishing states. A friend of ours was a missionary in the Philippines and had to come to the UK to get his adopted daughter's adoption recognised in UK. He was offered a furlough place 6-9 months in one of 3 churches. One of them was Wick where the old mission building was now known as Wick Harbour Mission Baptist Church, and was kept open by 5 elderly ladies. By the time he came over the other two churches had got pastors so he ended up in Wick. Later on his mission board asked if he would retire and become pastor at wick which he accepted and has been pastor there for a few years now.

I agree Jim. A lady at my previous church used to like her seat and though we had a policy of not having reserved seats, sometimes coming in late not making any attempt to tiptoe and once complained that someone is sitting in her seat. I have never been in a large church. Our chapel has a out 80 seats and most of them are taked each Sunday morning and I have a problem with remembering many of the names. I would hate having to attend a church much larger. I wouldn't know anyone. A church we used to try to get to when we went to France was at Laon. Once my wife and I visited with my daughter, son in law and their 5 children. The pastor said we had more than doubled the congregation they had the previous Sunday.

From what I understand, dispensationalis are those who believe in the pre tribulation rapture and perhaps other futurists. Writers in the past who are neither of those seem to speak of the old testament times as a dispensation and the current times as another and the eternal state as the last. As I understand from reading them.

If God could keep the Israelites 40 years in the wilderness he could keep Jonah 3 days in the fish, without any harm, when normally he wouldn't have survived. The fish vomited Jonah onto the land, what more do you want to know?

J I don't like pork, although it is much cheaper. When I used to go to France, I used to buy Merguez sausages, these are usually beef, but can be lamb or Turkey. There is a butcher a town about 20 miles from here who makes Merguez from lamb. I prefer them to the French ones as they have less fat in them.
