Charles Stanley. Run Time - 0:40 --------------------------------------
The teachings continue looping in the above order.
Our programming schedule often includes anointed men and women of God whom we respect and from whom we learn much. We do not necessarily agree, however, with every word they say, especially when it comes to using the word "Lord," which is an incorrect translation used in many versions of the Bible. (Why? Read more HERE)
We acknowledge that you need in some cases immediate answers of reassurance. Please know that you are being prayed for. When we receive news like some of you submit, it takes time for us deal with the shock and pain the losses cause us. Our prayer warriors prefer giving you answers gained through prayer and compassion rather than through emotions. Know that there are those who immediately begin praying for those faced with difficult situations. They wait to see who the Holy Spirit wants to respond to each individual. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Are the 12 point list not just the impossible dream that we are supposed to be working towards, not things we are to be masters of?

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? What if you are not a virgin anymore, can you still wait for jesus return and be ready for it?

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? What is wrong with getting as many blessings and anointings as possible? You never know when you might want to use some of it.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Morgan,God says all things are possible with Him. It is also possible to be on the path of perfection with a good attitude without attaining absolute perfection and still qualify to be raptured. Read what Paul says about going after perfection (Phil. 3).

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Valdamir,Please clarify if we are not reading you right. Nothing is wrong with receiving as many blessings as possible. That is God's will. God will give you an anointing you need when you need it. However, we are all unique, just as in a physical family. Having someone else's anointing would make us them and not us. We are individuals who need to appreciate and respect our uniqueness as God does. Why would we try to be something or someone we are not? That would be falseness. It is not God's will to make robots who all have exactly the same purpose and anointing.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Yes, Ian,When it comes to physical virginity, once we confess the sin and lay it down to Jesus (assuming it was before and/or outside of marriage), we are washed clean by Jesus' blood so we become virgins in God's sight. This parable is not talking about physical, sexual virginity, but spiritual virginity. When we accept Jesus, He washes us clean and we become spiritual virgins. We can all be ready to marry Jesus whether or not we have sinned sexually in the past.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? How does collecting 12 virgins have anything to do with the new moon. And even if Jesus wanted 10 virgins would it not be better to worship on the crestent moon where you are promised 70 virgins?

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Robby, What do 12 virgins and the new moon have anything to do with what we wrote? We are not Muslim. We are believers in Jesus and our promise is the marry Him, not to have 70 virgins in heaven.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Are their not at least 12 new months each month? And do guys not deserve a virgin for each new month of the new moon year. The crestant moon worships get 70 virgins for each new moon. And now you say that we only get Jesus, this seems very unfair.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? I am not sure I am understanding everything in English. What is the difference between blessings, anointings and talants?

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Valdamir, A blessing comes from God because of obedience and working in faith. An Anointing comes from others praying and laying hands upon you. and a talent is a quality that God has gifted you with that also helps in making you special in the eyes of man and the angels. It is an ability that is God inspired. Hope this helps.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? My mother killed herself and wrote a letter claiming that I was the cause of all her troubles. She said that she had failed as a mother because her daughter would not joiin the JW's. I am now destined to go to hell because she could not bring me to accept Jehovah. I simply refuse to join her church. Am I now an evil person because I killed my mom by not being part of her dream? Does God reject me and the dreams He gave me, because I refused tobe part of a cult?

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Valdamir and Betty G. You have given a good explanation. I must add that an anointing to do something can be given by the Holy Spirit. It gives you the special power to do something that you would not have been able to do before it was given. If God asks you to do something, He always gives you the anointing to get it done. And an anointing can also activate a grace.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Marleen,You did not kill your mom. She killed herself under the influence of demons. God does not reject you for refusing to follow Satan. You need to reject her curses that were sealed in blood in communion. Ask for God's grace to forgive herself and forgive yourself for the condemnation you allowed to be put upon yourself. Grieve her loss, and then celebrate the good part of her, and then lay down the grief and pain to Jesus. You may need to reject JW curses in communion for a while since her friends in that cult may continue to curse you. We pray God's comfort and grace to walk through the valley of the shadow of death holding the hand of Jesus.

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Was Marleen not supposed to honor her mother and join the JW's until she was of the age of majority, regardless of what she thought about them?

Re: Are You a Foolish or Wise Virgin? Iyan, To honor your father and mother does not mean that you let foolishness rule over morality, integraty or the word of God. If your parents wanted to have you burned alive in a church barbegue would you jump onto the spit in order to honor their wishes. Marleen would be very correct not to join a mentally harming cult.
