I have rims but have taken them off for the winter.

I'll be in prayer for you. The thing is you don't have to worry about how you can drive in the snow and ice. It's the other individuals who are out there who can't drive in the snow and ice.

Where are we told to drive a car? But we do it. Your motive for what you do makes it wrong or right. IMO

I couldn't have said that better myself!

Why not just do what most Pentecostals do? How about putting up a tree, but not call it a Christmas tree. Or just put up a tree w/out lights and decorations and then say it' okay for us to do it. Or you could hide it when friends or family come over.

It's kind of like the whole TV issue. It's okay to have one....as long as we call it a monitor or we don't have cable.

There are so many more severe issues to worry about than Christmas trees.

It may be a pagan holiday...but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate it with a right heart. We all know what Christmas is really about. If you are really worried about it being a pagan holiday...and the pagan name offends you. Then maybe you should personally find a way to get the names of all the days changed. After all, they are pagan names.

Just cool your jets, and sit under some good ministry for over 20 years and then let's see how you're doing Bill.






Then stay in with some consistancy. Bill wake up!



YOU SEE THAT'S IT! There is no regardless, sorry but you need to regard your past Bill. You need to dig yourself and cool it. Don't smack down anyone, with anything if you haven't rode the bovine for more than 8 seconds.




Then regard that and build it back up over the course of years and then you may have a better chance. Right now you are just wind.




So why say it and never live it long enough for anyone to care?




Yet, you don't care when it comes to your actions? Bill, wake up!





I don't believe you believe that. I don't believe you care. Wake up Bill, and smell the pine needles.

DB, I have read your responses to me, and have tried to be civil. I shall continue to be. I do not ecognize you as a brother because of your stance on full preterism, which is a Catholic doctrine, so basically, what you say means nothing to me.

I thought I could do some good here. Guess the heretics rule this roost. repent all, before the Lord brings swift judgment.

Who are you calling a heretic, Bill?

Do you drive your car once a year on a certain day, and claim that it is done to celebrate Jesus Christ?

I think you are a bit mixed up on the issues, yet, thank you for your input.

Nice chatting with you.
