Do you tithe to your local church?

Do you run the aisles?
Do you dance in church?

Do you witness?

Most of my answers are yes, but I am not a real Apostolic and I know it.

Thank you for setting it straight. I would encourage you to follow my personal example of NEVER saying anything offensive.

Do a Bible Study on Samson. Cut hair caused WEAKNESS and the ultimate DOOM of a strong man.

If Samson was pitching and he hit the batter, the benches would never clear cause he would kill them all with his donkey jawbone!

Man, now I'm really curious what Aquila had to say. PM me, Aquila, I seriously want to know. I've heard it all, believe me. I was recently PM'd by an Admin for something I recently said regarding Republicans, no less. Bah! Big deal. George Carlin said it in a standup. He is a straight shooter without holding back. I respect that. I don't respect closed-minded thinking. I tend to be more for free speech than censorship. I am quickly becoming more and more let down with both this forum and church. I thought I was ready for Jesus, but I'm not ready for his disciples. I have to weigh it out for myself, I suppose. Do I love free thought or close-minded thought? Is there such a thing as "artistic license"? Could I participate in local theater and utter curse words because it is in the script, and then go to church on Sunday and be fully accepted? I really am wondering why I am married to an Apostolic, what I'm doing here, and what I'm accomplishing by reaching out to Jesus and the church, or even to strangers on a forum I've never even met before.

It's fantastic, imo.
How on earth could anyone possibly go wrong by living by what Jesus taught?
The "trick" is to actually be a doer of the Word...
Thanks for posting your thoughts.

Well, you are welcome to use anything you might find of value. However, you might also want to make an editorial correction or two - I did didn't get everything 'fixed'. LOLOL

Things like "...most of what he write in his letters...." should have read, ...most of what he wrote in his letters..." /sigh/

I'll go back and see if I can fixt some more stuff.


--------------------------

Nope, too late to fix anything. Guess I'll just have to live with it - as is.
Sam - you were right! "Bumble fingers".

Aw, hang around, you'll get used to us and how we roll. You'll come to love us all with all of our quirks.

Just ask NOW. He came in guns blazing, but now he adores us all.
