I was thinking about this. Is there a place you can go and try the actual food the Indians ate before European colonization? I don’t know an answer to that question, but after doing a bit of reading and viewing, I realize I’ve already eaten a lot of Indian food. I saw a video online of a Cherokee restaurant, and it had a lot of down-home cooking.Apparently, Europeans did not have a lot of the beans we eat nowadays. Green beans and kidney beans are a New World crop. The Europeans didn’t have lima beans either. Many beans are New World crops. They had fava beans, lintels, and several others. Many Indian tribes lived primarily on ‘the three sisters’, corn, beans, and squash. Many squash varieties are from the New World. Corn (maize) is a New World crop.Some of the Indian tribes, among the ‘civilized tribes’ in the eastern part of the US, like the Cherokee, farmed corn and ate a harder version of corn bread. I am from the southeast and I grew up eating corn, green beans, corn bread, and we had some squash in our diet but it wasn’t a major thing. Cucumbers are gourds and they are European, and we ate a lot of those.My grandmother ate corn and beans out of her garden every day. The bacon grease in it is a European thing, since Europeans introduced the pig to the Americas. She ate corn bread a lot, too, a version of Indian food, you could say, along with biscuits made from European crops. So I grew up eating a mix of Indian food and European food. Much of ‘down home’ cuisine is made from Indian food. Bell peppers and hot chili peppers are from the New World as well. As far as how they actually cooked it in pre-colonial times, I don’t know if we can know that for sure or not. Indians are known for eating fry bread, but I think that was a later development, like from when the Cherokee were given government supplies to eat on the Trail of Tears. It would be interesting to know if they did something similar with corn flower________________
Klump is a strong second, definite sanctification preacher who believes in holiness.
I believe in being born again, sanctified and baptized in the Holy Ghost, according to Acts CH.2 V 38-39
I believe it is holiness or hell , and preach the same, I don’t have folks to repeat the so called sinners prayer after me and I declare them born again I believe in letting folks toprat through like I did, then they will know they are born again
On some things. Not all.
Yes. Because it is the Holy Spirit that makes the difference. I have attended both churches and been members of both. Both did believe in the full gospel. But there was one thing I heard especially when I was younger from a lot of the old time Church of God members that I never heard out of an Assembly of God member. Some of the old time Church of God felt and testifies and preached that you were not saved if you were not a member of the Church of God. That was not in the minutes, but a lot of older members felt that way. That’s just like the UPC saying the same thing. That put them on the verge of a cult.. Denominations are all man-made hierarchies. I have yet to see a denomination that would start out good and eventually they would backslide not appear to be what they were when they started. So I wonder if denominations are more of an hindrance to spreading the gospel than helping it.spread the gospel.
All that really matters is that you commit your life to Jesus Christ and believing on his name and his death and resurrection. This is how you are saved and receive the Holy Spirit who will guide you through sanctification until God calls you home. Denominations are really not important. It is what is in the heart of the believer.
Should the declaration of faith be changed to reflect that compatibility?
I was there, and took a whole bus load of people with me from Harrisburg, PA, where I was pastor at the time. The program was taped at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. Those were great days for the Church of God.
Go to their website, it says that they are Pentecostals.

Sorry Charles Page. This said I poked you. I don’t know what that stuff means. If it bad I’m sorry. I can’t tell you how it happened. Maybe I’ll learn this stuff sometimes. Lol.
I agree!
So true. We should never forget the power of HIS presence?
I agree that without the Holy Ghost present in our hearts & lives there is no Holy Ghost in churches! So God cant move unless he has a vessel!
“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” — …all deceivableness of unrighteousness.” — “having a form godliness but denying the power thereof.” “…eyes full of adultery, for they cannot cease from sin; for they receive not the love of the truth.” and “who hold the truth in unrighteousness.” We are to be ever “partakers of divine nature” and “His holiness.” What I’m trying to say in response to what has been said is this. — Our vice is suspect but our ‘goodness’ is a deceiver which denies any need – of the power of godliness. The first verse above contrast the “wrath” of man verses the righteousness of God. But ‘good’, moral, religious people are somewhat and/or totally unsuspecting that the “wrath” of man is derived from the ‘goodness’ of man rooted in the carnal, freshly sin nature! Mind you that at the end of our goodness apart from Christ is wrath! That’s much the reason there is so much anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, grudging against brothers, lack of mercy, jealousy, envy, provoking one another —- a form of godliness rooted in sin nature ‘goodness’. Yeah that goodness that would give the shirt off one’s back – if not rooted in the divine nature — is a deception and false ‘anointing’ — and at the end of man’s so called ‘nice’ is ‘vice’ – wrath! For essential reason Paul stated, “I will glory save (only) in the Cross.” “… foolishness to those that are perishing but it is the power of God unto us who are being saved.” Many say they want the power but ignore the Cross and the words of Christ. We must follow Christ, by faith die with Christ, rest with Christ and receive His resurrection to newness of godliness and eternal life! Our vice AND our ‘nice’ respectively must be denied and meet death on the Cross so we might follow Him. Our goodness produces a false and deceptive ‘power’ or ‘anointing’ –being fleshly and carnal. This deception of ‘goodness’ and powerless form of godliness not only robs the pulpit of conversions and/or personal victory! The Holy Spirit works exclusively thru the Cross ie the surrender of one self of one’s own vice n nice while receiving the goodness/ finished work of Christ. People who unknowingly go about to establish their own righteousness — invariably religiously “dispise others”. They might exhibit an ‘anointing’ in the pulpit, singing or music – possibly an ‘utterance of tongues’ but are powerless in the car, in the home and especially the internet! ‘Good’ men apart from the Cross and true Spirit is no match for the power of sin behind one’s so called goodness! It robs the pulpit of saving power, godly living and sweet fellowship. How many ‘good’ men and I mean good men ignorant of this truth find themselves ‘powerless’ when it comes to internet porn etc. Those that have been raised in church and have a reputation of ‘goodness’ suffer the most! We need the power of the Spirit in our pulpits. And it only comes thru the Cross resulting in the power and anointing of His goodness, godliness, eternal life ie divine nature. Christ IN you the hope (power) of glory.”! “…been made partakers of divine nature.” Our goodness always fails then denies it, ever learning but unable to acknowledge the truth! Our goodness is actually all about the ‘worship’, significance, promotion and protection of self whereas spirit n truth worship is a new nature/creature — all about worshiping God as a divine nature child of God! Bring the Cross back then the power to save to the uttermost will make a difference!!! Selah777
The reason there is no power in churches of all movements they seem to think God has changed but he has not, our leaders have left the old time worship and have adopted the cruise o matic entertainment, form of worship, blowing smoke, dancing, worldly music, Don’t need the old red book hymnal with the songs of Zion having to do with the blood, or the cross. dress like a bunch of idiots from the pot smokers dope heads on the street ,do. women wont ware enough clothes cover their boob’s and legs, and cut their hair off making them look like butches , men think it is cute to have their hair all the way down to their hips, crouch of their pants down to there knees. like prisoners do that want another man. then wonder why there is no power in the churches, and churches are closing all over America, because the attendance is dropping off, there is nothing going on to draw folks. We look like the world act like the world ,talk like the world , and are like the world, most have a form of godliness, but denying the power an truth thereof. and don’t want old preachers that preach hell is hot, and waiting for the lost to be cast into it, folks better wake up and get right with God There is no excuse for the church being in the mess we have gotten into. Chronicles CH. 7 V 14 read it and take it to heart, and get back to the basics
Not many songs written like this anymore. Good words and share.
