Nope. And please show me where I did that.

This issue kinda reminds me of the saying "I'm not gonna define pornography, except that I know it when I see it!" Is some of the great nude art of the middle ages porn? I don't think so. But show me a Hustler magazine and I'm certain of it!

I'm not sure if you watched the Hagin or Browne videos, but I don't know how any Christian cannot discern that behavior is NOT from the Lord. Go through them.

oh for Pete's sake

I'm not even sure what you are talking about

where you did what?

please put away your persecution complex LOL!

Cmon young lady! Get it together. You're all over the board.

This is what you posted TO ME:

"tell me

who in their right mind would post personal and meaningful experiences about God in this forum, having read all the mocking and negativity that is forthcoming?

if someone has an experience you or anyone does not agree with, will you hold up a video and call me or someone demonic?

I have had demonic experiences because of a certain ministry I sadly got involved in. I have learned to (painfully) tell the difference

but God does not dwell on this earth and there are spiritual experiences that people have that are genuine."


I grabbed that quote and answered YOU'RE question! Are you ok today?

2nd reply to the above

I've drawn plenty of nudes in my Fine Arts classes and they were art

so don't worry about the great nude art and I had better not catch you with any girlie mags :mad: then again that would be your wife's concern

if you were here from the beginning of the thread, you will see I do not agree with the behavior of the girl..I consider that space cadet behavior and a few other things

I've pretty much seen those kinds of videos to the point I am bored, granted I do bore a little more easily than the average person

(yes I am being slightly funny)

LOL! dude!

I'm fine but sometimes I cannot be serious in this forum...thought you knew that by now?

yes I was asking that question but in a general sense since I wrote about laughing myself

come on man! you KNOW how it goes round here these parts

anyway, I can't help it if so many are duped

seems biblical IMO

but too many (and pleeeeze do not attribute this to a personal comment at you) believe the Holy Spirit is simply an adjunct to the Bible

thinking maybe I need to warn folks when the humor gene has kicked in?

Porn is a monstrous problem. I seriously don't know any guys that either are, or have in the past struggled with that beast.

Did you see where England is making people get an I.D. to watch Porn online?

I am probably the freesest speech guy you have ever met, but I agree with them.

I too am an advocate of free speech but I cannon justify free vicarious sex with free speech. It does not compute.

no did not see about the ID porn thing

this is terrible, but I knew someone who took their own life and he was often watching porn...for hours... a brother of someone I knew

frankly, porn does steal your life.

If you make that CAN I agree. Some repent and go on with their lives.

that would be true

but while involved in porn, your life is being stolen because it is not real

that's how I meant it but God can and does set people free. true

PLEASE! Show me where it says they were laughing maniacally and rolling around on the floor in convulsions!
Right here. (although I never claimed what you are saying)

Acts 2:13
Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the fifth time... What behavior would cause us to conclude that someone is drunk?

By studying the word of God?


Why? Because they were speaking in languages many could not understand, You ever been in a room where people are speaking a language that you do not know? I have, if it was people I knew, and I knew they could not speak that language, I would think they were drunk!

This was a serious day, People were not rolling on the floor in lafter, they were preaching the word of God!!

Lol.. Again, Have you ever been in a room where everyone is speaking different languages?

Now imagine it is people you KNOW who are doing this, and you KNOW they do not know those languages? You would think they were drunk speaking incoherantly. B ec ause you can not understand them, what other explanation could one give? Other than it was a miracle of God?
No. One of the affects of consuming too much of an alcoholic beverage is not foreign language fluency.
A drunk can barely speak English. They are falling down and laughing and talking incoherently.
Like the gal in the video. Probably what they saw at Pentecost. You would have been among the scoffers.

I'm cool with repeating what SCRIPTURE says made them think they were drunk. NOWHERE is it said those filled with the Holy Spirit were laughing maniacally or convulsing on the floor. That is ADDED by those that want to justify this UNHOLY outrageous behavior.

Acts 2 New King James Version (NKJV)
Coming of the Holy Spirit

2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all [a]with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them [b]divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit AND BEGAN TO SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This is the ONLY mention of the behavior they exhibited to cause scoffers to think they were drunk. ANY other behavior YOU try to put in the text is FALSE.
INCLUDING maniacal laughter, convulsively squirming on the floor, and slaying in the spirit.


Care to try for a sixth?

Read this account again. There were some that were amazed to hear them speak in different languages, and were blessed. Then there were mockers who heard the same thing and attributed it to them being drunk. NOWHERE is it said they were laughing maniacally, or rolling around in convulsions on the floor, or slaying people in the spirit. IT IS ENTIRELY ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVING THEM THE ABILITY TO SPEAK LANGUAGES.

I do find it interesting that the scoffers said they were filled with NEW WINE. I believe this relates to the wineskin parable Jesus told. They WERE filled with NEW WINE! The Holy Spirit.

Umm... I don't see how this relates at all to how the scoffers reacted to the believers that were filled with the Holy Spirit.

What you cite is when the Holy Spirit came to the Believers, NOT the result the scoffers saw in the believers. A lot of liberties are being taken in Scripture with this passage.

You asked me what scripture spoke of electricity. Am behind a bit but I thought u would remember. No problem though.

You do not know many drunks

And you do not read very well

They were MOCKING them by saying they were drunk

You know what mocking means?

Face the facts, if your best freinds came and started speaking a language you could not understand, you would think they were all drunk.

It happens at church all the time. I'm quite certain those friends are NOT drunk.
