Detroit Jazzman...your quote on your signature is now Unknown...that is from Emerson sir.

Friends and investors... I am only posting for the second time, but I have been watching these boards since December. I am a pastor/BIble teacher...seminary trained...mentored and taught by some of the greatest scholars in the States...I have traveled and done ministry...missions...the like...I am a stickler for contextual criticism of Scripture in providing a balanced understanding of what true faith is. I have always perpetuated the idea that faith is internal, spiritual, unseen, and passionately quiet. I never believed in tongues, prophecy, healings, open miracles, dreams/visions, etc. I am blessed to have married a woman who comes from a more charismatic background. I just want to encourage you people on the board that think this guy is nuts, or not the right type of Christian, etc. PLEASE DO NOT LUMP ALL OF THE WORKS OF GOD IN WITH THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY GIFTED BY GOD TO DO THE WORKS OF MINISTRY. I am not saying that George is right or wrong. I am saying that until this year, I had never seen a "limb grow out" (I have now), spoken in a tongue (I have now), watched someone prophesy a direct and imminent event about someone''s life and get it right down to the last detail (I have now). I am a man of faith and none of that makes sense to me, so I cannot imagine it would make any sense to those without faith. I have been baffled by God this year at his ability to change the minds of man. I do believe the RV will happen because IT FIRST OF ALL MAKES FISCAL sense...but, also, because I do believe God is transferring wealth... Just my opinions... Be blessed!

I too have seen the miraculous in person. Not a cult. Sometimes the easiest things are the most irrational; particularly, when those things happen right in front of you.
