Jesus and Witches

this is what I am afraid of with mccain and palin,
..I was in the A/G church for years and this is a REGULAR Sunday Morning ritual ..
MILLIONS go to the altar and have deacons and deaconess' pray over you for deliverance from satan and or his minions. PLUS THEY TAKE THEIR PASTORS WORD AS IF IT IS JESUS STANDING THERE TALKING TO THEM!
I left when factions started to talk about JOELS army of beleivers rising up and taking on the world and getting it ready for Jesus. see in their escatology Jesus cannot come here and rapture them until there is a revivla in this land. then satan will be driven back and the force of the righteous will win ..they also do not believe they will see the man of sin raised up by satan, but some aspects of penticostals do believe that theycan thwart satan before he and his standard bearer makes his final assult on earth ..
ANYONE WHO CLAIMS THEY DO NOT BELIEVE AS THEM IS THE ENEMY AND ANTI SOMETHING.
IT is sad ..I am a christian who has been called "fallen away "because I am not into their extremeism ...BELEIVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU I HAVE "CLOSE FRIENDS" WHO WILL NOT TALK TO ME ..BUT CLAIM TO LOVE JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who cares if she believes or doesnt believe in witches, at least her pastor isnt yelling god dam america.

I feel that whomever the person is that their religious beliefs are very personal.
I am happy that Sarah Palin is a Christian.I think she is AWESOME!!!
John McCain & Sarah Palin have convinced me that Republicans should &
hopefully will govern this country...

The religious views that both of Palin's churches have are not "extreme". Rick Warren's church (and many of the other "mega-churches" have the same views. Both TBN & CBN founders have the same religious views. Several Christian TV networks have the same "world view". To refer to pentecostal views as being a minority and extreme reflects either a personal prejudice or a lack of real facts about which you are talking. The Charismatic type churches are the fastest growing church groups in the country and are a big factor in the reduction in membership of the so called "traditional" churches.

"And then he offers this cryptic blessing: "In the name of Jesus. Every form of witchcraft is what you rebuke." The laying of hands on the Alaska politician, the invoking of Jesus and witches in the same sentence???what the heck is going on?"
Newsweek, please do not put inexperienced writers to write about a subject they quite obviously do not know/understand. When he said "In Jesus' Name", it can be likened to stamping the prayer by the authority of Jesus. When you are at your job and your boss asks you to deliver news to someone and tells you "tell them I said so", it is the equivalent of when people say "In Jesus' Name". By the AUTHORITY of Jesus. Furthermore, he wasn't "invoking" witches....he was rebuking them. For those non-scholars, rebuking means to criticize/reprimand. He was in a sense praying for her protection. And for those who will write me off as a Palin supporter...think again. It has nothing to do with politics and ALL to do with God.

Pentecostal Religioin is an apostolic Christian experience. The word above "rebuke all forms of witchcraft" mean that you cast off all evil spirits as directed in the BIBLE. COME ON PEOPLE, they weren't invoking Jesus and Witchcraft, they were calling on Jesus to rebuke witchcraft. People need to get informed about all the details before writing their opinions.

Yet another video slamming McCain/Palin... big surprise... where is the video from the LA times regarding Obama and Ayers at a home fundraiser? The media should be ashamed of themselves, and demand that the LA Times make public that video... or stop with the McCain/Palin bashing.

asking you guys to understand anything religious or anything having to do with religion is like asking a lay person to do surgery or diagnose and treat somebody who is sick. you can't and won't be able to understand this because all you do is make fun of somebodies beliefs. what if she was catholic or methodist or lutheran would it bring as big a chuckle to you as the fact she is affiliated with the assembly of god religious belief, or better yet what if she was muslim or even atheistic like you guys are. what then?

going after people who hunt innocent women as witches..this is true but I didnt get the hunting part of it,. What I did get was Rev Wright spewing racial hate against white people..not just innocent women but all white people. Obama was fine with it for 20 years and then said he wasnt paying attention. Great selling point for the future leader of the US a job that requires attention more than every 20 years or so. Then there is Farrakhan how about Ayers? He will just blow up whoever he thinks is guilty..its okay though because Nobama said so..it doesnt count who gets hurt as long as he was a little guy at the time. Think he agrees with Manson then? Get real..

Oh Boy ! Another left wing media Palin attack from Newsweek. We all know Obamas religious beliefs, he listened to "God Damn America" for 20 years. Newsweek won't bring that up, will they.

The truth of the matter is, no one, Christian or not should not read an article like this and take it as fact. I encourage everyone to search out the truth for yourselves. This is an article written by Newsweek, whether you like or dislike Palin you should be able to see that this is a very slanted article based upon the personal feelings this reporter has towards Christians.
Yes, as a Christian I know that this article contains many lies but I also know that the Word of God told us this would happen, so I'm not surprised by it. A plea to fellow Christians out there, please don't respond immediately to this article. Take time to digest it, there's so much anger in some of these responses that is not necessary. We are supposed to be representing Christ in every area of our lives, that means when we post comments as well. Let's not reinforce the world's views of Christianity and use wisdom when responding to such articles.
One final thing to Christians, read the Bible and see for yourselves what God says about some of the big issues of this election and then vote in accordance to what you know to be Truth. Be blessed.

You know. I doubt there are denominations in heaven. But I do believe the bible to be the word of God. Many people confuse religion and faith. I used to be "religious" however, I'm glad to have my faith in Jesus Christ! There is a difference and it comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Some may call me a fanatic, but I wonder if they truly know what they are talking about. Seek God and ask Him what you don't know. Read the Bible. I heard an acronym once that said BIBLE stands for Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. There's some truth in that. Once you've experienced faith and it's confirmed by the bible no one can take that away from you!
The United States is in unchartered waters, but historically, reading the bible, nations and countries have wandered from God before and look what happen to them. Pulling God out of our government and schools has placed us on a slippery slope. Satan is very subtle in his approach and techniques. Step back and look at the last century and what has changed. I fear for my children. The media and TV, what my kids have access to vs. even my childhood. Yes we have grown in many ways, but morally we have back slidden.
The founding fathers of our country based our country's values on God. Yes we allow "freedom of religion", but personally I think the country should get back to running the country as "One nation under God..." and if you want to practice another religion within our borders then we allow it, but don't let this affect how the United States of America makes it's decisions and charts it's course. For without God we are and will be nothing!
As for Sarah Palin - Praise the Lord for her faith may the love of God be witnessed through her. Way to go Sarah!

Why do we see all this stuff about Palin and not about Obama's running mate. I honestly don't think either canidate is worthy of being president but we have to choose the lesser of two evils. I don't really follow all this political stuff but I haven't seen much about Obama's running mate and am not really sure who it is. Will he be anther Dan Quail? Or is all this news about McCain and Palin Newsweeks way of backing Obama?

Here's an issue: why are the "Top Ten Politics" stories (on the right) negatively reflecting the Mccain ticket, but positively reflecting the Obama Camp? How about some non-biased news reporting.

Vote for McCain!

So typical of liberal media to be scornful about one's beliefs, but notice that this liberal media has all but dropped the scary, outright WRONG values and beliefs that Obama not only "had" but "still has".

This liberal media will do anything to bring down the moral character of any Christian leader. Shame on MSNBC, shame on liberal media, shame on us as Americans.

Spinner, these who are they questions are petty. Who is Senator Obama? My granddaughter has spent more time in wet diapers than he has in the Senate before deciding he is qualified to be Commander and Chief our our military and run this country. Give me a break! He is going to run us into a third world nation.
