Have you tasted Jesus?

At the University of Chicago Divinity School each year they have what is called "Baptist Day.." On this day each one is to bring a lunch to be eaten outdoors in a grassy picnic area. Every "Baptist Day" the school would invite one of the greatest minds to lecture in the theological education center. One year they invited Dr. Paul Tillich. Dr.Tillich spoke for two and one-half hours proving that the resurrection of Jesus was false. He quoted scholar after scholar and book after book. He concluded that since there was no such thing as the historical resurrection the religious tradition of the church was groundless, emotional mumbo-jumbo, because it was based on a relationship with a risen Jesus, who, in fact never rose from the dead in any literal sense. He then asked if there were any questions. After about 30 seconds, an old, dark skinned preacher with a head of short-cropped, woolly white hair stood up in the back of the auditorium. "Docta Tillich, I got one question," he said as all eyes turned toward him. He reached into his sack lunch and pulled out an apple and began eating it. "Docta Tillich.. CRUNCH, MUNCH "My question is a simple question... CRUNCH, MUNCH..."Now, I ain't never read them books youread..CRUNCH, MUNCH...” and I can't recite the Scriptures in the original Greek...CRUNCH, MUNCH ..." I don't know nothin' bout Niebuhr and Heidegger...CRUNCH, MUNCH...He finished the apple.. "All I wanna know is: This apple I just ate . . . was it bitter or sweet?

Dr Tillich paused for a moment and answered in exemplary scholarly fashion: "I cannot possibly answer that question, for I haven't tasted your apple." The white-haired preacher dropped the core of his apple into his crumpled paper bag, looked up at Dr. Tillich and said calmly, "Neither have you tasted my Jesus."

The 1,000 plus in attendance could not contain themselves. The auditorium erupted with applause and cheers.

Dr. Tillich thanked his audience and promptly left the platform.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta.

He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Maj or public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs)

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States,one of their own!!!!

Would you want this man leading our country?... NOT ME!!

This is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States........ better heed this and pray about it and share it.

THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED, "ONE NATION UNDER GOD". ALMIGHTY GOD, NOT THE GOD OF THE KORAN.

MY TESTIMONY

For years I was bound by drugs.

For years I was bound by unspeakable sins.

For years I smoked 2 or more packs of cigarettes a day.

For years I played heavy metal guitar that glorified satan.

Just to name a few.

But one day I had an encounter with a man named Jesus. He saved me and then I was gloriously Baptised in the Holy Spirit. Trust me, it is something you can feel. It feels like electricity shooting through your body. It feels like hot oil pouring over your head.

Now I am drug and cigarette free. I play the guitar for the Glory of the Lord. The old man of sin is dead and the new man in Christ Jesus is risen!

The initial evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the evidence of speaking in other tounges. Although it has nothing to do with your salvation as it concerns eternal life, I encourage everyone to seek the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. The only requirement is to be saved by the Blood of Jesus. Then just sincerely pray to be filled with the Holy Ghost.

The Cross of Christ is the power source for everything that I was cured and healed of and is the answer for eternal life.

There is not 40, 20, 10 or 5 answers to the problems of this life in this sin cursed world.

There is only one answer - Jesus Christ.

Please post any questions.

God Bless

"For the Preaching of the Cross is to them who perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." - 1 Corinthians 1:18

Tennessee Ten Commandments

Maybe this is the way to teach the 10 Commandments today!

Maybe then people would "get it" and it wouldn't be construed as 'religious ed'.

Some people in Tennessee have trouble with all those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, some folks in middle Tennessee got together and translated the "King James" into "Jackson County" language.... no joke, read on...

The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN.)
(1) Just one God
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Put nothin' before God
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
(7) No killin'
(8) Watch yer mouth
(9) Don't take what ain't yers
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff

Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think?
Y'all have a nice day.
