Same God or different God?

talk less and follow more, frankly.

I gather that "trinny" doesn't really apply to a Catholic, then?
Not sure what a Muslim would say about a trinny, although
I'm pretty sure, actually--but a Muslim would credit even a
Catholic with recognizing the "same" God, not to say
"worshipping," as they have "joined partners with Allah."

I'm not really too interested in the argumentative
semantics of a trinny--Christ has made it plain who
He worships, and I find His words line up
just fine with the Qur'an, if the interpretations
often do not.

I mean, do you pray to Christ? No.

I will not get into the debate that you dread concerning the Trinity. However, I will say that Mohammed rejected the Christianity of his day because of the Trinity and the veneration of Mary. This was the Catholic/Orthodox position at the time. He would also not approve of the worshipful verneration given to the departed dead who are listed in the record as 'saints'.

Btw, I do pray to Christ and Christ alone.

If it was good enough for Jesus to do and example for you to do then it is good enough for us to do - thanks. Methinks you know not your own book.

Nice hair. Is that a "pentecostal" cut? Are you also one who teaches that those who have a beard (such as the beard that you also teach was plucked out for your sins) then that beard is not allowed on your pulpit?

Small wonder indeed that praying and fasting to Allah/ELOH/Eli/Elohim (such as exampled by Jesus) is also rejected.

Recommendation: Lose the hairspray, get your nose out of that 200-page manual of rules and regulations, kick those moneychangers up in missouri out onto the street to "minister" aka work, sink, or swim (and stop skimming generous salaries and retirement benefits from the offering plates), and then stick your nose in that book that you are supposed to know and study and teach from it and it alone.

Your message may be more effective that way.

Hahahahahaha!!!!

That was funny and on many levels.

First, I have never denied that Jesus prayed, fasted, and performed good works (the Bible states that all of the above occured). I do hold that prayer, fasting, and Bible reading should be practiced more regularly and longer than what they are. So on this we are in harmony.


I have worn my hair in that style for many years now as it suited the nature of my hair. There are many hairstyles for both men and women that are modest, attractive, and look nice. Further there was neither spray or gel in my hair for that photo. I still do not always use it unless I desire it to hold.


My opinion of the issue of wearing of beards is still out, and I have nothing to say further on that issue. Only time will tell if my opinion changes, and no I do not believe that my opinion is posted anywhere on this forum, and I am not inclined to defend my position from whichever side I disagree with. Further, the issue of beards is unrelated to fasting and prayer.

I have no book of rules and regulations that I follow, and certainly none that amount to the length you scoff at. Further, I have never held a license with said group in MO. I preach and teach from the Bible, and not from any other book, nor am I told by anyone what to preach (although if my pastor were to do so, I would).

You need to research me and my posts on this forum before you start issuing statments about me. My opinions, statements, corrections, questions, and more are here. Maybe no in their most complete form, but here nonetheless. I really did enjoy reading your post.
