Looking for your thoughts..........

I didn't think that our own Christian family on this forum would not allow what each of us thinks about and labors for the Lord and the betterment of our nation! There are many lurkers and whether or not they are seeking the knowledge of God's Word or just seeing what anyone has posted about detecting and etc. is a good thing! Also, letting them know about how our Gov't is right now (very bad) is a good thing! Most of us know about all the greediness is going on with the present administration but who knows who might be lurking, who agrees with and has voted or will be voting for the leftists unless they know the circimstances they have brought and are bringing upon us, our nation and the whole world! The Book of Revelation will be fulfilled, so no matter if Christians are made to hush and are censored on here and all over America, God will prevail and Jesus will win and He is coming to catch us away! When I don't know for sure, but hopefully very soon!

If you don't want to read posts you don't like or get tired of....then don't read and don't answer! No one is making you do so, but don't keep others who may want to read them and state their answers from being able to do so!

LIfe is too short, especially mine is getting shorter, daily, to cause a rift and problems on here! We are supposed to be able to write our feelings and what we have learned from the Bible without being berated from others who call themselves, Christians! I love you all, but good grief, let us wake up and smell the roses or the rats that are stinking up our gov't and the whole world in fact! See I didn't name any names!! :)

Love your posts, Martin, and don't quit! But for me, I will be lurking and praying for the prayer requests and if anyone else wants me to write or answer their messages....then send me a PM and I will give you my email address! Bill has been called on the carpet many times by certain people on here for what he's posted but the truth is the truth and God's truth is absolute Truth! Theresa keep on doing your good work and stirring up satan and waking others up to what is really going on in the USA and the White House! I will read but not answer, as I have been stirring up a hornet's nest it seems! Lisa you keep on posting also, as your posts are very interesting and give me food for thought, you are one of those whose messages give me something to read, generally!!

Steve you keep on detecting and showing your finds...I used to be able to do that and found some nice coins and relics, which some have been posted and uploaded to this forum! But not many seemed to care about the pics of the finds I did show, sooooo won't be showing any pics of my other and better finds! Just trying to get through until voting in November and praying for the right side to win in the election to, hopefully, make a change...but if not, then it is God's will to bring all things to the end of the age! They are saying this time they will bring peace between Israel and Palestine, but won't be so, for when they cry peace, peace sudden destruction will come! Iran has the ability to build nuclear bombs and hating Israel so much, they will make and use them....let no one doubt that!

Mike, I understand that you only wanted our thoughts and you have been given them, even mine, so since I've been the one posting about you know who and his followers, then I am the cause of much grief and unhappiness and will not continue to post because I don't like being told what I can write and not write! Ma is stubborn in her older age! :shrug:

I still don't know or understand why Paul got so angry about and left, but I'm telling you all why I am until God tells me otherwise, for I obey Him and not man!!
Like Martin says, if we give up warning others, now, then we will have the same old thing and the evil ones will have their way! He and I are older and it may not affect us like it will our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as our health and ages will probably prevent us from staying around for a long, long time, either by mortal death or by the rapture of God's faithful saints! Who are they, the ones who occupy and do His work until He returns and takes us into His Kingdom to live forever more!

Sorry, I can't take the time to post everyone's name, but I've enjoyed your posts and wish you well and hope our Lord continues blessing with a good life! Pete, I pray all will work out for the better for you, Sherry and family, as you've sure had and do go through some very hard trials, but God is still with you and He will provide and protect and meet your needs, but ya gotta be patient and let go and let God do the working of His Word!

May the Lord bless and keep you all in the safety of His loving arms, with more souls saved and more minds turned to His beloved and only begotten Son, Jesus!

Gotta get off here and go to the Lab and get my blood test, can only drink water and black coffee until it is done!

Will be going to Wanda's to have supper, soon, as Scott is home from NY and has to go back by the 11th! He had a nice Labor Day with his aunt Pat, cousins and sisters down in the country fishing, eating and relaxing! Wanda had to work, but is off on vacation for the next few days to spend time with Scott!

Things are still on hold about my unspoken prayer request...but I know by leaning on and trusting in Jesus, everything will turn out for the best for me, my grandson and family, for God's glory and praise!

Bye and enjoy life the best you can, as it sure passes by fast and no one knows what their health will be or even their finances! Oh, by the way, our prayers worked for my cousin Gene's wife, Lois, who had lung cancer. She had surgery at Barns Hospitial here in St. Louis! The surgeon removed a quarter size spot on her lung and with getting all the cancer removed, she won't have to go through chemo and radiation! Now, God is a prayer answering God for sure! Praise God and Thank You, Jesus, for Your mercy and Your grace upon Your own and please be merciful and heal our land from the enemies! Amen! :angel: Ma Betty
 
I don't want this to sound the way it might but even Jesus said " Are You So Dull???? " He was speaking to ALL the Apostles. What I believe is happening is that you are ALL basically agreeing with each other and not seeing it.!!!!! First : Why can't we talk about things other than Obama ?? Second, : No One said DON"T talk about Obama. Third : We "Need" to get some tougher skin.!!! Fourth: We can do this by Praying to Christ that He Forgive us for our own sins in this matter, grant us a purer heart that we may stop whining and start acting like the tight knitted Family we claim to be.
Mike said : I would like to hear more about Christianity. I'd like to see less Politics and more Christianity. I Don't want to see people leave.
Ma said : Why can't we talk about Obama ???
Theresa said : They should toughen up.

Folks : Here is a couple of Suggestions : First : Go back and read this Forums Guidelines.
Second : This Forum WAS created for people who are detectorists, wether they can do it now or not, to talk about their own Religous Views and how they apply to this World OPENLY and without Fear of Reprisal of ANY kind.
Third : No One said not to talk about Obama or Politics.
Fourth : You ALL have stated that you want to hear about Gods Role in this Nation and its Direction.
Fifth : We CAN also talk about Detecting and the joy God provides us through it. We all have. I love doing it.!!! 39 years now.!!!
Sixth : If a Member of this Forum is hurting we "NEED" to be there for them "WITHOUT" tire. Jesus NEVER got tired of helping others.

Seventh : Let us ALL start doing it and give God the Glory. Me, I'm Gong To Rest.!!!!! :lmfao:

Guess what : The Roman Empire fell because of infighting, Personal Opinions, jealousy and greed. NOT because of Barbarian hordes.!!!!!
Guess What : We ALL know how God dealt with them.
Guess what : You ARE ALL agreeing to the same points.

So please stop arguing, Go to God in Prayer, Take A Breather and start doing what your ALL already agreeing upon and thus give GOD the Glory ok.

I Love You ALL with the Love Of GOD. PEACE:RONB
 
well said! Thank you brother!
 
I just don't care for it here. (Me personally) This is my home away from home.
I too don't like "O", and can't wait till he is out of office.
 
As Ron said, no one told anyone they could not post something.
No one mentioned censorship.
Can't believe that asking for peoples thoughts could be blown so far out of proportion.
Just thoughts not action.
Ma the original post was not pointed at you or others as stated. It goes way back for years.

Give God the glory. Keep on posting!
 
Keep on teaching and preaching!
 
I cannot believe all that I am reading. So many things taken out of context (IMO)....WOW! Boy isn't this thread giving all who aren't believers a good chuckle? I, for one, would like to take a minute and say that I have been feeling the same way as Mike and Travis. We have not discussed that, and I thought it might just be me. Political talk and posts are fine, but lets not let things get out of control. Most of the posts have a very negative air and that is why I do not post to them. Don't think for a moment that I don't have a strong opinion, I just feel like things get beat into the ground. I do not support President Obama, nor his beliefs. I am conservative to the core (despite the fact that I am a young female), I do not believe in a womans right to choose, ridiculous spending, etc. These things are very important to me!!! Mike was simply trying to get some input on our thoughts. I did not read anything saying that political posts were not allowed...did I miss that?

Everyone has something valuable to add to this forum. SeniorSeeker-I very much enjoy your posts and hope they continue. We appreciate the time and effort you put into your posting. I will be the first to admit that I don't post often and in depth and for that I am sorry. My husband and child will always come before anything else and most days I have time for little else.

Ma-I hate to see that you are upset.....we are passionate about the things that matter most to us and I think that is why the forum has been having problems. Please don't stop posting! I learn so much from you and would so hate to see you go. You have many gifts and have always shared them freely :)

Ron-I have to say I agree with you 100%. I am going to get off here and fix something to eat and hopefully I will have time to sit down tonight and actually read all these posts!
 
well......i started to write that we should not talk politics on this forum but how about when politics and Christianity are butting heads? is glenn beck a good christian? i don't know, i got tired of listening to him and Limbaugh.(even though i agree with 90% of what they say)
i don't click on any of the posts about Obama!
i have been on this forum for about 5 years and it saddens me every time i see a forum member get ticked off and leave!!! Satan likes it!!!!!!! the outside world/non Christians think its funny!

mike, i don't know if we can keep people from getting into or having disagreements/arguments!? catholics, baptists, pentecostals etc:
i guess i would say keep the forum as it is and not try to regulate it. people will get into fights and get hurt anyway.
chuck.
 
I am truly saddened to see how things appear to be unraveling here on the forum. I sure wish folks could get along and not be at odds over things. I have really strong opinions about some of these things (and others) but at this point I feel it would be best to keep my mouth shut. No need in adding fuel to the fire, especially when none of us are willing to back down on what we believe. I have had some really good friends here and will continue to communicate with them outside of the forum. As far as the forum goes, I think I'm done. Not mad - in the least! Not hurt - at all! It's just that I don't think things will ever be the same again and I'm not into the arguing stuff. I don't think I would ever feel comfortable posting anything at all from this point on (I really haven't for awhile now). I don't remember ever having much to say about the political issues (other than to more or less tell someone I agreed with what they said), but people are so touchy that I would be concerned that the least of words would stir up trouble or offend - which is so easily done here. It isn't worth it. Allow discussions about spiritual issues OR don't. Allow political discussions OR don't. Regulate it down to nothing but metal detecting and occasional prayer request OR don't. Whatever you think is best. But seems to me it would just be easier to keep our lips zipped and just skip over what we don't want to read and not respond to what we are not interested in - and if there is a person you don't particularly care for, then don't respond to them at all... skip right on over those posts. I believe that handling it that way would save a lot of strife and feelings (not MY feelings - I'm not leaving over the "feelings" - but over the crap). God bless you all.

I have emails of several of you who I will be keeping in touch with. If you don't have mine but would like to, just PM me and you can have it.

Lisa
 
Pray for everyone, I am sure glad we are not the same, meaning different! Our leaders need a lot of prayer, they are human, they make mistakes, Thank God his Son came to save us. If you want to make a change, look at your heart!
 
no one is regulating what anyone can post. It was just food for thought. We can post what we want as long as it is "G" rated.
I too don't click on the posts that I don't want to read. I agree with you, it is sad when a family member leaves, and satan loves it.
 
You read my post as it was intended. Never did anyone say no more politics, sensorship,etc... I was just looking for thoughts. I am sad that folks read more into it and have decided to leave. :(
 
Hi Folks; I'm sitting here reading these Posts and I can't help think that Satan is having a Field day here. Walking away because we "THINK" we can't Post about a certain topic or because someone else who is not a "CHRISTIAN" Posts a few times and storms off while blasting everyone in the process or because Satan wants us to think that we are the "MAIN" culprit or cause for any of these problems or that we somehow have lost the ability to talk to each other in love and forgive someone as Jesus would do is EXACTLY what Satan wants. That by actually walking off you ARE giving Satan what he wants. Theresa is right in that we need to wake up and smell the coffee and find some tough skin. You can find that in the aisle marked "Christianity". I suggest that we ALL get on our knees and cry out to God for forgiveness and guidance.Then get up, brush off the dirt and start loving each other as Christ calls us to do every day.!!!!!! That we as True Christians "NEED" to love AND Forgive each other REGARDLESS of what anyone Posts, Posted, wants to Post, does not want to Post, or storms off because of what we Post. To their own Master they WILL stand or fall.!!!!!! ANYTHING else is directly from SATAN PERIOD. !!! Question : Who is your Master ??? Is it God or Satan??? If it is God then you now know what you must do and act. As for me I am going to go and pray right now that we ALL change our ways, forgive each other NOW and give God the Glory. God knows I've got some REPENTING to do, Do you??? AMEN.
In Christ's LOVE
PEACE:RONB

I haven't been with this forum long, couple of years at best; but man oh man has it changed. Not for the better either. When I first started with this forum the posts were about detecting finds, prayer requests and family updates. We have had the benefit of Senior Seeker teaching from the Word. We have been blessed with Ma Betty's poems (stop apologizing for how long they are). We have been amazed and amused by Leslie from Nova Scotia and his tales of adventure (that man has some imagination). We are constantly surprised at what Goes4ever finds at the old homestead he just happen to stumble across. We have all had a smile put on our faces by Lisa's Southern charm, and football frenzy. We have seen Mike's girls grow up in the pictures posted of all the family stuff they do together. It was truly a joy to come in for a visit and see what "family" has been up to.

But now, we have seen the "world " take a rather strong foot hold into our little family. As Christians we are to be salt and light to the world, I would venture a guess that the random visitor or the lurkers would not see us that way.

I have no love for Obad-man, I have no respect for him either. But the Bible tells us we are to pray for our leadership, God has put them there for a purpose. Remember God's ways are not ours, we do not know what His Glorious plan is; but rest assured His plan is not for us to repeatedly berate or belittle our leaders and their lack of leadership. He would and does calls us to more prayer for them and us.

I would point this out also; Judge not least ye be judged also. I know that is one of my biggest failings, I am too quick to judge, but I have with God's help (and with His continued help) learned not to gossip about others who are failing. I have my own failings to worry about.

To the dear lady that said she never tires of hearing how bad Obad-man is, I hope she didn't mean it and that it was said in the heat of the moment. I just know a sister in Christ, while frustrated with our leadership, has better ways of feeding herself spiritually.

Yes we should not hide, yes we should set the example, yes we should proclaim our faith in Christ boldly, yes we should further God's Glorious Kingdom, but first we need to put our own "house" in order. Please consider Paul's writings on the "one another" messages. We are to be devoted to each other, weep with one another, share in each others joy, lift each other up and to be "LIKE MINDED".

I am like Lisa in that I pick and choose which posts and/or persons posts that I read. If I don't like the subject of the post or it is someone I feel trends towards the negative all the time I just skip over those post. It seems to me the negativity in posts has become more pronounced and more often, there is a lot more stuff I skip over than I needed to in the past.

I would ask all parties involved to step back, look in the mirror and ask "Is this honoring God or myself". A question I ask myself many times a day, and many times I find the answer lacking. Please pray for me and the strength to walk in His light, as I am doing so for all of you now.
 
I meant every word of it when I said I never tire of hearing how bad Obama is. I agree with you that most of the time we should pray for our leaders but the only prayer I pray for Obama is that he is removed from office. I will NEVER stop fighting him and what he stands for because he is the enemy of this great country and he is here to crush it into the ground. I studied everything I c ould find out about him long before he was even running for President and let me tell you it is not pretty. I believe GOD has called a people in this great land to STAND up against him and all that he stands for and I am one of those people. People remaining silent is exactly what is wrong with this country now and Christians have the greatest responsibility.

I could start a list that would go on and on about what is wrong with Obama but I won't do it here. Just the one fact alone that he wants to kill babies by the millions, very late term babies in the womb, voted to give them NO help whatsoever if they just hap[pen to survive late term abortion, voted to make the health workers lay that prescious baby in a corner and just wait til it dies. Let me repeat I NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING HOW ROTTEN HE IS!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't God that put him in office. A lot of it was CHRISTIANS who are blinded to the truth or who are to lazy and careless to get up off their behinds and fight the good fight to get a better person elected. OBAMA is the enemy of this country. He is the enemy of Christians. He is a suporter of MUSLIMS who want to rule America.

This forum has become just like the rest of the world. You don't want to hear it. You don't want to hurt people's little feelings. And regardless to what you say about the orginal post here, It should have never been posted! If changes were not desired, it would have never been posted. I say again that the orginal post talked about people getting their feelings hurt then when every one started responding to that then that wasn't at all what it was about. Sure it was. Some time back it was brought up and I felt very uncomfortable posting anything I wanted to but then I decided Hey Im just gonna be me and post what I want to. Now it has come up again. And many of you all say well we shouldn't pay any attention to it because no one has said you can't post thus and so. No no one has said that but it's the same thing as throwing a cup of ice water in some one's face. It takes all the pleasure, all the comfort etc out of coming here and sharing ideas and feelings and standing up for what is right because so many are worried about the puney little men on here that get their little feelings hurt. It's usually women who get accused of that but not here. They need to grow some righteous b*#@* and get on with life and stand up for what is right and good and holy.

Again I will NEVER quit fighting what Obama stands for. I won't sit back quietly and let him lead my country to hell. And if you want to know if I'm mad right now. You're dang right I am MAD. Don't tell me what I should or should not really mean when I say something about Obama. If you want to support an anti christ go ahead and do so but leave me out of it.
 
Well said brother.
