Dear Brethren,
Let us pray for this family. The horror of the situation just leaves me stunned. I can't even begin to imagine what this child will go through as he gets older.


With the Love of Christ Jesus, let us pray.

These women are ruling the World and the men Gave it to them! Christian Men have went into Total Rebellion of The Commandments of GOD,, And GOD has Given them the world, The Men and women the desires of Their own hearts. Proclaimed By The "WORD of GOD"! :pensive:

And it is a shame and with pain. I will say what GOD has said: They will pray and I will not answer their prayers, they will seek me but they will not find me. Because when I called, they did not answer. Now when they call, I will not answer them. And when they are in trouble I will not rescue them.:pensive:

We are in full bloom, no one heard PloughBoy when spoke to what lies into the future, now many say "We got to do something" It already has been Written what is to come to be, and why it has come to this, But one, listen. God is not in flavor of "IDOL GOD" worshippers. And it is a shame that people have no ideal what a "IDOL" is and what is "Worship" we all have been sold out. and Not by "The Atheist, Not by "Islam. not by those who practice "Buddhism " not by "hinduism, Irreligion, Folk religions, Sikhism or Judaism.:pensive: But one of my own equal, and her who lies in my own bed.:pensive: Such pain and agony it produce.

God told Jeremiah once:
Judah's Idolatry Persists Jeremiah 7:16 BSB
16As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you. 17Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

Jeremiah 11:14
As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster.

Here is hard wisdom: "God will not delivery anyone , so they can go back and practice and promote any kind of "Idolatry".:pensive: and it pains me to say it.

"Will the time come in this age when GOD the FATHER also will say: enough is enough.

JESUS is speaking here "Only ONE LORD" and That LORD is JESUS. "The Creator of All Creation"

Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people.

You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.

Your brother in Christ Jesus, in "The LORD"

PloughBoy,

I do feel his pain, LORD I DO.

Very true, many men have abnegated their positions of leadership in the home.

However I'm not coming from the traditional perspective that speaks of men simply needing

to get to the top of the leadership ladder and take back their voice. While there is some value

to that perspective, I'm speaking more about how fathers have failed their families and as a result

women often as left to make certain decision and raise families apart from fathers and with much

pain.


I agree with you, and I"ll add however that many women find themselves in the position of head of household

because we men have failed our families. We men are not willing to go to Christian counseling to save our

marriages. We are often absent in African American families due to being in jails and and Caucasian families

more and divorces are happening and parents are settling to live without being married.


I agree men do need to take their position in the home, however I don't blame the women, I blame us men for


failing our families and needing to step up to the plate.

Women in The Churches should fear, because God is not going to be like men and The devil catering to them! GOD has NO respect of Persons they have ABANDON GOD's HOLY WORD, I would not be in The shoes or women in this era of time. Because PROPHESY has come to age. And this world is going to be like HAMMERED with a IRON ROD, and evil in the Bible is always it seen the picture view of A women.

I know women. Because I speak "TRUTH" and I do not pat them, And they Respect the Hard TRUTH. But your SOUL has to Be CLEAN. They can recognize a contaminate soul. Oh yes they can!

And the only way a women can get saved. as prescribe By GODS WORD but The Churches and PASTORS has Refused To tell Them The TRUTH! But They Have Abandon their Souls , Like The Black men in The Hood has Label Pastors and Preachers. "PULPIT PIMPS"who have Pimp our wives and daughter and They Drive Cadillac cars using our Paychecks the money we made slaving in the factories buying the pastors and his wife expensive clothes with our money in tithes and offering and we cannot even buy our own selves a Hamburger at McDonald's ! Working 60 -70 hours a week. Buying his wives clothes to keep her up with the Pastors Wives. and This was happening all over the MetroPolitan area of Detroit, Michigan. The pastors wives known as 1ST LADIES, a few years ago.

Old woman crying and stop going to church because the pastors and minsters would make them feel bad, about how they are curse with a curse for not Paying Tithes from their social Security! why they eat cat food!

You are a counselor, how many Grown Strong Blackman you have counseled that would fall down there, on their knees crying because they cannot keep up with their wives and how they are taking their Husband money and putting in the Church offerings. Earrings, Bracelets and They are trying their best. My wife came home one day and had the Nerve to tell me, The Pastor said "NO Finance NO ROMANCE"! And I said what did he say! Wrong One!


I been working gone for about 2 months . I have built a 1/4 of million dollar house that is worth a 1/2 a million now. 2 cars and a Minivan and Pickup Truck 4x4 Dodge in the drive way, One car in The Garage , No credit cards bills no college payments no hand outs. and just because the pastors is Bragging about a $2,000.00 Sport coat he bought his wife! and I got you a pair of Zirconia ear rings. That look so good to ME! and I am ready to make Love!!! We men are tired of minsters interfering with our GOD GIVEN AUTHORITY given to us about our WIVES! The Government has taken control over our Kids from the men and The church and PASTOR"s has taken our wives and our AUTHORITY over them. for The walls of JERICHO is Coming down and GOD has Heard The men and called Them out! "COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM"


I am PloughBoy, has counsel men White Black and Hispanics, and Jews, men crying like Babies for at least 35 years. And churches and PASTORS has DESTROYED Men HOMES by PIMPING THEIR WIVES AGAINST Them and THE WIVES end up going from men to men and destroying the boys and The GIRLS have turn to nothing but bed hoppers! And everybody is blaming the man and they are not the cause!. I been on this journey for long time. I have held in my arms many men where the church and ministers and ministries have destroyed them all over the Metropolitan Detroit area. California, Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia , Florida, Texas, Tennessee , Kentucky, New Mexico , and many other states. Not what the world has done but churches and christianity has none to many. Doctors, Lawyers, Professors, these women and pastors and churches, corporations, Politicians, and have Destroyed many God centered men! By greed money taken their jobs and left them on the streets. How many have you counsel. Men in tears. even white men have lost Their Jobs and cannot find one, because of Affirmative action the companies had to hired Minorities. And not black men, They Hired WHITE WOMEN, because They came under the Umbrella of an Minority


So The devils Main Target is Destroy and cripple The Male whether he is BLACK ,WHITE, or Hispanics. So do not hirer the male, Trap him destroy him any way you can. for he is "THE GLORY OF GOD" she is not The glory of GOD. She is "the Glory of The MAN" destroyed The Glory of GOD. and all will fall. Hirer her, promote her, Pay her more, Make it easy to educated her make her look like The Religious and The GODLY one. "The Angel That Appears Like An Angel Of Light"

And The Church is the perfect place to do this her man will be The Pastor.

When They tried to pull that on me,, I told them right in front their husbands when they said; when they would need something they would call me! I STOP Them RIGHT THERE AND put them In THEIR Place, DON"T CALL ME FOR ANYTHING! call your Husband and your Husband can Call me and tell me what you need and I will relay it through HIM! I mean it, right in front of their wives whether their husbands was a believe or not! And The men Knew I meant it!

That man knew he had nothing to worry about me, interfering with his marriage in anyway! I will not even pray with a married woman , Pray with your Husband! If you cannot get him to pray with you , you are doing something wrong! If a woman cannot get her husband to pray with her something is wrong with her! She better buy a new dress and get him down on his knees! What ever it take!

If he was not saved, She should have Not married him In The 1st. Place. or she got saved after they got married, Then take it to GOD and not me!

I didn't play that, like all of these other pastors, nothing but destroying homes and families in the name of Jesus! Don't forget for many many years my only friends was PASTORS and Ministers!


PloughBoy and the Word of GOD is coming to pass!


8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12As for my people, children are their oppressors, AND WOMEN RULE OVER THEM. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, And Destroy The Way Of Thy Paths.
13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15WHAT MEAN YE THAT YE BEAT MY PEOPLE TO PIECES, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
16Moreover the LORD saith, Because THE DAUGHTERS OF ZION ARE HAUGHTY, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
18In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and theircauls, and their round tires like the moon, 19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21The rings, and nose jewels, 22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, 23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; andburning instead of beauty.
25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.



Just wait, I see it now. The LORD has given Me the Eyes to see

I Am PloughBoy, and I am Carrying the mail, REPENT FOR KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND


For There Is NO RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD! So women beware , He is not
A MAN! he can make another women just like you and forget you ever have been.


New King James Version
Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing " IF IF IF":eyes:They Continue In Faith, Love, And :eyes::eyes::eyes:HOLINESS, WITH Self-Control.:eyes:

Do not be as THE FOOL! There is A LAKE BURNING of FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, AND GOD The FATHER WILL THROW you in THERE! and not Shed One tear!


REPENT and TURN AROUND And BE Ye HOLY!


New International Version
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.:pensive:

Now that is Good News! "The GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS THE CHRIST OF The LIVING GOD"

It is ashamed when a man has to fight his wife and the Government to keep them from Castrating his son.

This is a mess up A world.

Back in The day, a White man would have slap her silly and made her go sit down in a corner and if She Called the police He would slap her too! and They would have sit down and had a beer. And when his son got to be 16 he would have thanked his dad! You did not let her give permission to cut it off!

Going even more backwards "MOSES" Then back to NOAH! what would God had done! Noah son talking about he has female urges!

Great question.

First I'll begin by sharing that I'm not disagreeing that many women are being deceived; however what
I am saying is that instead of standing and pointing the finger or accusation men can facilitate greater
changed by extending a helping arm to pull them out of the situation.

Brother, @PloughBoy , you are wise on many levels and I need not tell you that you can have a women
who has many issues, but if the right man comes into that picture and leads and loves like Christ, that
makes a world of difference. Women crave the protection, leadership, and guidance of a strongman.
This is absent on many levels.

I'm not disagreeing on your assessment of the problem, however I'm am emphasizing that more
return on effort can be made if men step up to save the families.

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

Now to your question above. Great question. So the first point I'll note is that I initially didn't have
many Black adult clients. I would get children clients who were African American because the
school would refer for help in the school, but the AA community (and with reason) has a
history of not trusting many organizations such as healthcare. Furthermore the stigma of
mental health in the Black community is high because many feel that if you go the counseling then you have a lack of faith.

However in the last year the number of my African American client's has increased as I've noticed that
more are seeking therapy (Christian counseling also) and that is positive.

So that first thing I'll say with your question is fortunately the number of African American clients
on my caseload (adults) is growing; yet it is still small as a smaller percentage seek therapy.
The ones that do unfortunately are not often married. The ones that I have had that were married
were older couples, a bit more mature, and had issues related to communication, etc rather than
the church.

The dynamic you raise in your question is really a dynamic between a husband and a wife
as many women who are not married but have a boyfriend, don't give their boyfriend that same
control over their life management as a wife would. Thus, since most couples I see, Black and White,
especially in the Black community, are not married, I don't see that issue of him getting mad
at the pastor because he already knows that since he is not her husband, she has not given him
control over her finances. And to had a third piece, many young couples are pulling away from the
church.
 
And another piece I'll add is that we really need to put down this myth of the Black Pimp preacher
being the normative setup in the African American community. This just isn't true.

This is simply not the case in my experience. Not saying it doesn't happen, I'm saying it is not the norm.
My father was a minister in Liberia (UMC), we came to the USA and he was a minister here with the UMC.
He also was on the board of ordain ministers, and later became Director of Strengthening the Black Church,
a new position in our conference due to the dying old Black churches, needing more growth. He traveled
to the various churches (and I did with him at times) doing workshops at churches, etc.



First let's talk about lust and then culture.

So with lust, you have such issues in all churches.

The Catholic church had their lust issues with the priest and little boys:

The Southern Baptist which is predominatly White, had their issue with their pastors abusing women:

So the lust is everywhere.
Now in the traditional Black church it is just manifested in a different way culturally.
However I fear even using the term "Black church" because about 85% of people reading
this post likely have no where need the diversity of church experience that I have and thus
will assume that there is such a thing as a "Black church". There really isn't. You have Blacks
in country churches and city churches. Blacks in Methodist and AME churches. Blacks are Catholics
and Blacks are part of nondenominational assemblies. So there really isn't a "Black Church" per say.

And with that said, and with likely 75% likely maybe still not understanding that, I'll continue and
say that this idea of the "Black Pimp preacher" is so small in the so called "Black Church" (which doesn't exist).

Yes, that happens, the Black Pimp preacher as defined as the pastor who is using the church for his
personal needs. However, I see this as a cultural manifestation of the same problem every church
is dealing with. In the Catholic church is was more perhaps forced sexual contact, in the "Black Church"
it is likely more consensual. Same sin, different cultural applications.
 
And these issues of the "Black Pimp Pastor" I would say is more of an issue in smaller non-denominational churches, and not
organized churches like the UMC. In the UMC there is the DS (District Superintendent ) the Bishop, the Conference , and the local
churches have laity committees who have influence and oversight.

Furthermore, another good thing I like about the UMC is their itinerant system in which they rotate the Pastors, so the Pastors don't stay
long at one church and feel like they are King. They are moved around in the conference.

So that Narrative of the "Black Pimp Pastor" may be a issue in "some" nondenominational churches or smaller churches with less
oversight and accountability. But not the norm in Black churches that are part of an organized denominations like the UMC. Not saying
it doesn't happen in denominational churches, just saying it is not the norm from my experience .
 
Interesting subject to say the least. (Black Pimp Preachers)
First, I'm not black, I'm Hispanic. Yet I don't attend a church that is Hispanic, but actually a mix, or let's just say, very diversified.
Have 2 black pastors, and 4 white ones. The congregation is a mix of, white, black, Hispanic, Indian (India), Oriental, and mixed cultures that could be identified as one or another of the ones already mentioned.

What the subject reminded me of, was attending a breakfast at what would be considered a Black Church, non-denominal. The invitation was by a female member of the church who I worked with along with two other Black Co-Workers. The invite was to a Saturday breakfast of which I was the only non-black person in attendance. Unintentionally, it appeared our sitting arrangement had us around/buffer with our female co-worker. Observing the pastor one could help but feel his immediate dislike of us. I felt the Spirit move in me that there was something wrong with this man. He seemed agitated that not only me, but the other two male co-workers were there with the female who we later came to find out he was interested in, even though he was married! This was confirmed later, when he welcomed other people who were new, but made zero effort to welcome me and the other two co-workers! :cool: It didn't bother me at all, because I was there for the cooking!!!!! I know selfish of me!

Anyway, when she got up to help the other ladies with serving the food, I observed the Pastor's eyes following her around. This just confirmed the Spirit's movement within me. I also talked later with the two other gentlemen on their impressions, and they had the same observations that I did. We all warned our female co-worker to take care and be careful around that man. Also, not to be alone with him. I couldn't even call him pastor to be honest. Wolf would have been a more appropriate description for how he came off to us.

Faith, trust, church, can make us feel safe in what one would consider a safe haven, because it's supposed to be of God, or His House! So, we, and mostly women get blinded to the danger that is present in this world no matter where you happen to find yourself!!! To make a long story shorter. This married Pastor, gradually started to make a move on her. I guess, what helped her was that before an accident happened at work, along with having Lupus, she was a Correctional Officer, and so had training in ways to protect herself. Anyway, she rebuffed his advances, and being crooked in one way, also guaranteed he be that way in other ways as well.

You would think with both his father, and brother being pastors, and well thought of ones, that he'd have followed or sought their guidance, at the very least, but apparently not. His downfall started to happen when he was the pastor for the State University Basketball team, and he basically neglected his duties to them, so as to make time for his other activities! Eventually, it tore apart his marriage, and eventually lost the pastoring of his church as well. How the mighty have fallen. :(

What I did notice from conversations with my female co-worker was that the other females in the church became aware of the Pastor's advances, but instead of blaming the supposed man of God, they blamed her!!! Women at times can be worse than men when it comes to dealing with the same gender.

It's like you say Brother, lust is everywhere. It's getting worse, and worse, and as the churches become more like the world, they can't help but bring it into what is supposed to be the House of God too. We need to keep the pastoral teams, families, and each other in constant prayer! Most when reminded will give it a couple of prayers, and then move on. I'm not immune to be negligent in this area either. If I am being aware of the difficulties out there do little in this area of prayer, how much less do others!!! It's a shame I feel and I'm sure others do as well, and hopefully changes, because we all need to be doing it!

So, I'm starting to ramble, and need to go get some food for my sons and me! Love you all, and the discussion, that few even realize exist that are not from churches that have one predominate culture attending. Dangerous times we live in.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Yes let us prayer for the clergy.
 
You are a Child of God and you act like that DEVIl is Not The GOD of This world and he does not control all of Its kingdoms on earth, And The Apostles of GOD died in vain, and they got it all wrong and Jesus too! and The Reformers They got it all wrong. and the Bible is wrong too! By your statements, Your statement are conducive to these thoughts, and more liken, to a nice and beautiful world, that GOD has made for us and we are to labor and make it more wonderful and not ruled by satan.f

Now That is how it seems to me. When the Bible teaches this is a Horrible and Terrible world and has gotten worst, since JESUS has come unto earth and every day it gets worst than the day before. Now that is what the Bible teaches I believe, The only thing that is improved, is Technology. But humans grow more wicked every day. "Since John The Baptist [up] until now,The Kingdom of GOD suffers Violence and Violent takes It by FORCE" [attacks]

My reply:
"This world is ruled by The DEVIL and Man Cannot Stop what GOD has ORDAIN to Be! How can a man stop the decree of "THE GOD ALMIGHTY's Decree"?
Now explain how man is suppose to over ride GOD's will? [Man cannot rule Satan Satan rules unregenerate man and at times The regenerate too.}

New International Version
And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.

King James Bible
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

This Kingdom has not been turn over to JESUS yet, BY HIS FATHER, We have not yet received the inheritance of The EARTH . When we received our Full Shared Inheritance at The CORONATION Ceremony and Ratified Our Full Adoption. And received our Full shared Authority with JESUS! The DEVIl is THE KING of ALL of This and any thing and job that you have, The devil gave it to us in a way. The devil is our BOSS! if we work on this planet. Nebuchadnezzar is our Boss if you work on This Planet in a sense! Whether we like it or not or know it! :sob:
{Jesus has all power in heaven and earth but he is also under the command of His Father concerning its operation]

We are in a "BABYLON" sense. But When we come back after receiving The Full Shared INHERITANCE, Of what ever belongs To GOD THE FATHER is ours, And when we return, get Back, GOD the FATHER is Going to send that ANGEL from HEAVEN to GRAB THAT DEVIL from AROUND his NECK and DRAG HIM OFF of HIS THRONE BACKWARDS Bound Him and THROW in a PIT! Because The KINGDOM belongs to US now, RIGHTFULLY, FOR THE FATHER Has Now Given It To Us Now! "A Inheritance". A Full Shared Inheritance by a Ceremony, That took place In HEAVEN with Witnesses!
we Inherited everything the Father has, "The meek will inherit the Earth"

It is Now LEGAL!:eyes: It is LAW!!! GOD's LAW! Stamp and approve and Sealed. with the Purchase Agreement!
The DEVIL's REIGN on EARTH will COME TO AN END! you might like his Gifts But I don't! I do not like his houses, his cars, his factories, his money His Praise, His Prestige, His Educational Systems, His Universities His Employments, His amusement Parks, His Cruise Ships, His 747's, Everything He got we are getting rid of it! We are going to replace his cars with Horses!:sob: The days of The OIL fields will be over, And COAl Mines! And "SHELL OIL":sob:

Are You listening:eyes: I am P

1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the Abyss, holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ANCIENT SERPENT who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3And He Threw Him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete.

Now you know I am not going to tell you the rest, I am going to let you put the pieces together on your own..:eyes:

PloughBoy, You can play with his toys all you want. They are not perfect. "Every good and perfect Gift Comes From The Father of Lights!"
Perfect gifts does not fade away with time. neither do they decay.


PS.
your quote again:
"Brother, @PloughBoy , you are wise on many levels and I need not tell you that you can have a women
who has many issues, but if the right man comes into that picture and leads and loves like Christ, that
makes a world of difference
. Women crave the protection, leadership, and guidance of a strongman.
This is absent on many levels."

MY REPLY:
I don't Care how many times you kiss and hug that Goat, and when You wake in the Morning That Goat is Going to be A GOAT! Kissing and hugging do not Change a "GOAT into SHEEP"! Many Have tried! You can too if you want too!
All Women are Not "GOD"S SHEEP" GOATS are GOATS BeFore The Foundations of The WORLD, SHEEP are SHEEP Before the FOUNDATION of The WORLD. it just takes time for the "WHEAT" to APPEAR.

Kissing do not Change "JUDAS into A JESUS" You looking for MIRACLE! Ok! If you marry a Devil that
Appears Like a "ANGEl of LIGHT" She Has only one mission! and you have to eat and sleep! and when she put That "Million Dollar Insurance Policy" on you!:sob:

I am real, if
you think a devil cares, whether you are Holy or not or if you treat them good or bad, makes a difference you are wrong. ASK JESUS!:eyes: A Judas is a Judas.

Ask Him.:sob:
The Bible has already told you! And You can be Stiff Necked if you want too!



New American Standard Bible
Do not trust in a neighbor; Do not have confidence in a close friend. Guard your lips From her who lies in your arms.:eyes:

Ok, When she Put That Dagger in your Heart and give it A TURN and LAUGH at you at The SAME time:eyes:


SOLOMON SAID, what he found out! {by experience }:eyes:
New American Standard Bible
"And I discovered as More Bitter Than Death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her."

Now despise GOD"S warning and see! You
will be taking your own pills!:sob: And asking people to pray for you.

People who are in rebellion, Boyfriend and Girlfriend relationship, The devil and his demons do not bother them at all. Why would he even bother. they are in a damnation relationship, he wants them to stay that way. Thy might have differences and fight that
all it is, But the devil wants them to stay together and have kids and raise them. And they will shack up too, generational sins. Mama sleep within many men daughter sleeps with many men, generation after generation. no harm, everybody doing it. men sleeping with many women, every body doing it The president the pastor, the teachers, the professor everybody doing it. in The family every got a different daddy! When Was growing They Told the girls to KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSE! I didn't sleep with a girl friend until I got About TWENTY YEARS OLD! Not I did not try, They KEPT their LEGS CLOSE! you could kiss them dance with them but the kept those legs close, well they didn't open them up to me! until I got about twenty! That is happen to me and my friends!:sob: my friend told me we was to square, and when we got order they wanted to date us after they have been use up! Bye I do not want you now! I WANT ME A NEW CAR! I GOT THE JOB, THE CAR, THE HORSES, THE MOTORCYCLE AND THE EDUCATION, I DO NOT WANT nothing used! Making me think you the best since slice bread, I am the pure one here!

As soon as you marry
one, she complains, I like it like this and like it like that. Thinking about how Peter and Paul and Jimmy did it. all these men in your marital bed, and how she been with all these men and then the pastor jumps on you, telling you, how to please her! And what you have to do , trying to complete with all those other men she have had. Like I said, I been in the "Ministry for a lot years and heard wives complain about how their boyfriends was better than their GOD given Blessed by GOD relationship. A ungodly relationship was better than GOD given HOLY RELATIONSHIP Honor by GOD! God trained ME not a man or A church or a instruction in such matters .I read the BOOK!

But A Legal and Approved Marital relationship will get attacked by The Devil and The demonic hosts, to tear it apart. The whole
Nucleus family generation after Generations the same blood line! in so many ways that opens up the many doors of Demonic activities.

My mother and father stayed together , my
father, mother and father stayed together, His father and Mother stayed together I have all of their Marriage License up into the 1800's . my mother father died went she was young her mother never had another man. my mother only had one man, My father's mother only had one man, His father mother only had one man. it might not seem like nothing but it is. But I don't know. GOD does. I know I have white DNA through my fathers mothers side of The family. But I see it when it pops up because I know The GENERATIONS. pictures and documents and a Towns Historic records and in the Historical
Society Records in the county.

The world only looks through the lenses of The Worlds view, which is only a deception what is going on in the WORLD, The world is completely deceived and have no idea what is happening behind the scenes of All MANKIND everything that goes on in life is only a deception of that which is real. Per se the Bible not me!

The Whole WORLD lives in Complete DARKNESS no matter how bright it looks.

And The light came into The WORLD and THE DARKNESS
Cannot STILL SEE THAT LIGHT no matter how bright it shines! The World comprehends it not!

Now when taken to a account,
I see, but God saids we don't, then you say I do see everything, and I am not in the dark, But GOD says you live in darkness, who is right, if GOD says you live in THE DARK and YOU CANNOT SEE! then you live in the dark and you cannot see what is going on no matter what you think you see you do not see! Now you have come to The Light, :rolleyes: that you do not see!

And I will stop here.

STAY with me! don't leave
me I got more.

 
your quote: First I'll begin by sharing that I'm not disagreeing that many women are being deceived;:) however what
I am saying is that instead of standing and pointing the finger or accusation men can facilitate greater
changed by extending a helping arm to pull them out of the situation.
[humans are evil, all "Humans loves darkness rather than Light"] men and women and children.
My reply: "This world is ruled by The DEVIL and Man Cannot Stop what GOD has ORDAIN to Be! How can a man stop the decree of "THE GOD ALMIGHTY's Decree"?
Now explain how man is suppose to over ride GOD's will? [Man cannot rule Satan Satan rules unregenerate man and at times The regenerate too.}

Are you saying that it is God's WILL that any should perish?

When you say men cannot stop what God has ordain, doesn't God use men to do God's work?

What is your understanding of this verse

"'And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
Matthew 16:18

In light of you saying men can't stop what God is doing?

I say, yes, and the devil can't stop what the men of God are doing as well.

So I'm not getting your point. It seems you are assuming that everything is the devil and it "appears" that you've forgotten

that God is still doing a mighty great work.
 
Interesting subject to say the least. (Black Pimp Preachers)
First, I'm not black, I'm Hispanic. Yet I don't attend a church that is Hispanic, but actually a mix, or let's just say, very diversified.
Have 2 black pastors, and 4 white ones. The congregation is a mix of, white, black, Hispanic, Indian (India), Oriental, and mixed cultures that could be identified as one or another of the ones already mentioned.

What the subject reminded me of, was attending a breakfast at what would be considered a Black Church, non-denominal. The invitation was by a female member of the church who I worked with along with two other Black Co-Workers. The invite was to a Saturday breakfast of which I was the only non-black person in attendance. Unintentionally, it appeared our sitting arrangement had us around/buffer with our female co-worker. Observing the pastor one could help but feel his immediate dislike of us. I felt the Spirit move in me that there was something wrong with this man. He seemed agitated that not only me, but the other two male co-workers were there with the female who we later came to find out he was interested in, even though he was married! This was confirmed later, when he welcomed other people who were new, but made zero effort to welcome me and the other two co-workers! :cool: It didn't bother me at all, because I was there for the cooking!!!!! I know selfish of me!

Anyway, when she got up to help the other ladies with serving the food, I observed the Pastor's eyes following her around. This just confirmed the Spirit's movement within me. I also talked later with the two other gentlemen on their impressions, and they had the same observations that I did. We all warned our female co-worker to take care and be careful around that man. Also, not to be alone with him. I couldn't even call him pastor to be honest. Wolf would have been a more appropriate description for how he came off to us.

Faith, trust, church, can make us feel safe in what one would consider a safe haven, because it's supposed to be of God, or His House! So, we, and mostly women get blinded to the danger that is present in this world no matter where you happen to find yourself!!! To make a long story shorter. This married Pastor, gradually started to make a move on her. I guess, what helped her was that before an accident happened at work, along with having Lupus, she was a Correctional Officer, and so had training in ways to protect herself. Anyway, she rebuffed his advances, and being crooked in one way, also guaranteed he be that way in other ways as well.

You would think with both his father, and brother being pastors, and well thought of ones, that he'd have followed or sought their guidance, at the very least, but apparently not. His downfall started to happen when he was the pastor for the State University Basketball team, and he basically neglected his duties to them, so as to make time for his other activities! Eventually, it tore apart his marriage, and eventually lost the pastoring of his church as well. How the mighty have fallen. :(

What I did notice from conversations with my female co-worker was that the other females in the church became aware of the Pastor's advances, but instead of blaming the supposed man of God, they blamed her!!! Women at times can be worse than men when it comes to dealing with the same gender.

It's like you say Brother, lust is everywhere. It's getting worse, and worse, and as the churches become more like the world, they can't help but bring it into what is supposed to be the House of God too. We need to keep the pastoral teams, families, and each other in constant prayer! Most when reminded will give it a couple of prayers, and then move on. I'm not immune to be negligent in this area either. If I am being aware of the difficulties out there do little in this area of prayer, how much less do others!!! It's a shame I feel and I'm sure others do as well, and hopefully changes, because we all need to be doing it!

So, I'm starting to ramble, and need to go get some food for my sons and me! Love you all, and the discussion, that few even realize exist that are not from churches that have one predominate culture attending. Dangerous times we live in.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

It is no picnic out there, you have a fight on all sides especially if you are trying to live a Godly life. The TRUTh is The Most Powerful Thing a CHILD of GOD has! And that TRUTH 1st. Must be directed at ones SELF. In areas were you are weak admit it! Tell it! before That Lust grab you, we all are weak! "LORD KEEP MY FEET out of SLIPPERY PLACES" keep her from my door and keep me from her door. No where near her. It had been times I could not say the prayer "Keep ME LORD" because I wanted to GO! :sob: You got to push that prayer Out! once you get use to pushing it out you get familiar with that feeling of Pushing the short prayer out! That stuff comes from your own heart! and you got to know it is in there! For when it rise. When that monkey get on your back! you cannot dwell there! people fell to realize it , it is in our heart, and there is a "instigator" hanging around.

A old saying they use to mention all the time: "When a man and a women is alone together and they are not married to one another but are married to others "THE DEVIL is There Too" Something like that." So when you would find yourself alone with someone's else's spouse, You Knew The devil was There too, so "FLEE"! that means RUN QUICK!

So how can two couples eat lunch together at work and they are married to someone else. The devils is at work. and you do not even know it. until it is to late. "Chit Chat":pensive:
 
You don't have to abandon ship @PloughBoy .

Take care of them on the ship. Yes the ship is sinking. Yes Jesus did not come to

save the ship from destruction, but he came to save the people on the ship from the destruction which will come.

Yet, it is not our job or our assignment to abandon ship. We as Jesus said, "Occupy" until he returns.

He he Harpazos us out of here then the ship will go down when fire destroys this world.

Until tend, fight, fight and fight someone, so that we can take all those with us who have been

given a chance to hear the gospel and have made the choice to believe. And this starts with redeeming the family.

This requires strong men. Yes women are falling away, yes, but if men simple led and did that we needed to, this wouldn't be

happening as bad.


Yes, Yes, Eve took the Apple, but what is Adam didn't follow his wife, what if he has told the serpent, "Why are you talking to my wife without my permission"?

"God has spoken, that is final, so my wife and I will not be eating this fruit!" Yes she may have fussed and gotten mad, but if Adam had put his foot down

it could have been prevented. So I'm just saying that we men need to look in the mirror and stop trying to take the easy way out and blame women.

Yes, women can benefit from much education, yet, we can benefit from more.
 
Are you saying that it is God's WILL that any should perish?

When you say men cannot stop what God has ordain, doesn't God use men to do God's work?

"Are you saying that it is God's WILL that any should perish?"

"Nothing can happen unless God The FATHER has planned it that way. Everything is clay in Creation and He is The potter.
Once a person Knows the GOAl of ALL CREATION everything else falls in place. But many think too much of themselves and they cannot get pass that. They cannot get pass what they really are. Once they have, then they can See the GLORY of GOD in Salvation.

Have you ever ask GOD what is this all about?
 
All that are to be saved were saved before JESUS Got here, Right They where saved before All Creation. Their names was already written down, before there was A world, before Time before The future even existed there was Nothing when their Names was written Down IN GOD:S THE FATHER BOOK of Life. He wrote names down 1st. and then Gave His Son orders on what to do.

Ephesians 1:11
"In Him we were also chosen as God's own, having been PREDESTINED according To The Plan Of Him Who works out everything BY THE COUNSEL OF HIS WILL,:eyes:


We where GOD"S OWN before Any Thing Existed. So he wrote And declare us down in a Plan in The COUNSEL of HIS OWN WILL! Speaking about THE FATHER! Our FATHER! and He designed a Plan to make us REAL! Openly To DISPLAY "THE MANIFESTATION of THE Sons Of THE LIVING GOD" :pensive: For we ARE "THE INDICATIVE" "THE GLORY OF GOD"!

He that have ears to Hear, He Chose us and we did not Choose HIM, How could we Choose Him who was IN ETERNITY when He MADE US!...... Something that never existed Cannot Choose Something That EXIST, Now that is Common Sense.

If only I could get many who are The Children of GOD to explain to you , you did not choose Him, He chose You, before Time exited a Divine Plan To "ADOPT" you into His FAMILY The Sole PURPOSE of ALL CREATION is to Make A People of HIS OWN, "Bone of FLESH" A Kingdom of Kings and Priests a Brotherhood of Brothers. A SET NUMBER. of Brothers Created In "Christ Jesus" So we will be just like HIM! we will be like The SON of The LIVING GOD with All RIGHTS THE Same POWERS He HAVE and WILL HAVE! For Our Power Will Have NO END! For will Be Just Like HIM! No corruption, No Jealousies. No lies, No cheats, No Mines, no covertness, no little you and big eyes, No white, No black, no yellow, no Olive, no chocolate, no cream, no Sunshine, No Moonshine, WE WILL ALL, BE HOLY. ANS SHINNING BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN IN ITS STRENGTH

"When we see him we will be just like him" and greater works we will do than what you saw in all Creation"

Now that is The PURPOSE of ALL CREATION" and That is why JESUS came TO DIED of THE CROSS for US and not Them! He died for us who names are written in the book of LIFE before The FOUNDATION of THE WORLD! He Knew who He was coming to DIE FOR, By name, and He knows the exact number in what year what country and what time. Jesus Knows every one of Us who The FATHER gave to Him to DIE for US. So REJOICE BECAUSE You Names are Written in HEAVEN for You Are "THE Sons of THE LIVING GOD" before Time existed!


GOD Had A Plan, On The Behave Of His Beloved Son, Whom He Loved For He Loved His Son So Much , He Designed This Plan, That Only A Father Could Do. That Only Can Be Done By A "GOD" And There Is Only One "GOD"!
 
All that are to be saved were saved before JESUS Got here, Right They where saved before All Creation. Their names was already written down, before there was A world, before Time before The future even existed there was Nothing when their Names was written Down IN GOD:S THE FATHER BOOK of Life. He wrote names down 1st. and then Gave His Son orders on what to do.

Most certainly the work of Salvation happened before time began and God exist outside of time, so all things are visible to God in the eternal present.

Yet we are not God and we do not hold the Book of Life in our hands and we do not know whose names are written in it. Thus our role, I believe and understand,

is the preach the Gospels. Throw out the seeds, just through out the seeds. Some will fall on rocky soil, others thorns, others by the wayside, but just

keep throwing out the seeds. Don't worry about where it lands, just throw it out and when they grow up, the angels will separate the wheat from the chaff.

-- So how does your belief which I agree with, that God has already saved all who would be saved from the foundations of the earth, how does that

influence your obedience to the great commission?
