Comment from a Friend.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

This comment is from a good Christian, Southern gentleman, also a fine Soldier who served in Vietnam with the same helicopter outfit that I was in:  69-70.  His name is Jimmy, and I asked him and a few others for help after I licked horns with a goof ball, 'New Ager' dude in a web site that I got into.... 

Thank you, Jimmy, for coming to my rescue.  I hope that you consider me as much a friend -- as I do you.  God Bless You and Yours.

I was NOT in the 'gun platoon' [Gun Ships- the Mad Dogs],   --but I was with "White Flight"  Platoon --the "Grey Hounds"  -- the 'slicks' >>>  We carried the assualt troops, Infantry, in and out of battle.

---but here, up above is one of our old Gun Ships -- the 'Mad Dog', gun platoon 'Charlie' model Huey.  You can see the "Nose Art."  Picture of a 'Mad Dog' ...mean...

Tom, I thought that you did a great job in your reply to joseph smith." I suspect that is a false name. The false prophet smith, as you know was not visited by any Angel of God but rather by a demon appearing as an Angel of light. If he was visited at all. The Holy Scriptures place a curse on anyone that would add to, or take away from the holy Scriptures. A woman once told me in a chat room, " I might would accept Christianity if it were not so closed minded." I replied that it was being open minded that helped Eve fall into sin. When one knows the truth, it will as Christ said set you free. Free from what? False religions, superstition, the zodiac, things like that. Knowing the truths of God cannot help but make one closed minded. Every believer knows that given a righteous judgement, they would bust hell wide open this very day. Every believer also knows that had God not made a way of escape in and only in Christ Jesus, that they would receive that eternal judgement. God only ever had one problem with man, sin. In His mercy God made one way to escape this judgement for sin in and only in Christ Jesus. So how can a believer, knowing their own sin not want other sinners to escape this very same judgement? We know that God will never send one soul to Hell. Being created in Gods image and after God's likeness, having free will, like God, that man can only send Himself. A Preacher was once witnessing to a lost man. At one point the man said: Well you have told me how to get to Heaven, now tell me what does one need to do to go to Hell?" The Preacher said nothing, absolutely nothing. As far as UFO's go, as Carl Sagan said there are billions and billions of Planets in the Universe. Now God didn't tell us what He has done on those planets, probably because it is none of our business! We are not to be concerned with that, but I will tell you this. If Aliens are out there, we will never meet them. Can you imagine what would happen to Gods work on Earth if little green men appeared on the White House lawn? Gods people would be fore warned in the Holy Scriptures if that event were going to occur I believe. We are certainly not going to them either without the Star Track Enterprise! The search for life on other planets is only to gain evidence to disprove the existence of God. It is a modern day continuation of the tower of Babel. But we know that there will be signs in the Heavens in these last days. A humble Christian friend of mine was trying to witness to a contractor at work. The man let Him know that He was a Graduate of the Religion department at the University of South Carolina. As this man began to expound on His religious study of the Holy Bible and eastern religions, and ancient religions I began to understand that His study probably meant that this man would never be saved. He had gained knowledge, but had not gained wisdom! Soloman said to get knowledge, but with all thy getting get wisdom, that wisdom is the principle thing! Knowledge is a great thing. It can be had in many places but wisdom comes only from our Holy God. I want no credit for anything I have written, but if you need anything else from me, you know that you should just let me know. God only required one thing of Adam and Eve, the same thing He required of every single one who ever lived, and the same thing of everyone living today. That is to take God's word above all others. God bless you and yours ... jim
