Good day to you
I have read the posts and cannot even fathom to think where in the post she is being perverted, but anyway... I am a fully fledged Christian and I am proud to be one... I have been for many years and will be for many years to come... I am very involved in the church that I go to and am used in multiple ministries in the church including sound, catering and spiritual warfare, so I know where I'm coming from with what I am about to say...
I am thoroughly disgusted at what people are saying on this forum about other people... The simple fact of the matter is that everyone here calls themselves Christian. I want you to ask yourselves a simple question about what you are posting here "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?" The Bible states that the Lord shall deliver final judgement and that He will judge us as we judge others... Think about that for a second, the way you are judging people here, how do you think the Lord is going to judge you????
The Bible also states that you are to love your enemies. If you consider these people that you are judging your enemies, then aren't you supposed to love them like the Bible states?
The Bible also says that if you are luke warm, then God will spew you from His mouth. You can be hot and he will love you or you can be cold and he will love you. The posts that I have read with all the judging leads me to the conclusion that you are all luke warm... And also, that picture that says, "Jesus loves you unless you are...." and then it gives a few examples are exactly what the Lord does not want.. If you are to be so called Christians and you are showing things like that, then how can you expect people to want to become Christians??? You are leaving no doors open for people who want to become Christian, you are literally chasing them away... I am by no means judging you in this post, II am just asking you to look inside yourselves and see what you are doing. And as I said earlier, I am a Christian and proud to be one, but if you are what defines a Christian then I am ashamed to be called your peer... John 3:16, the most famous scripture in the Bible states "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life." The scripture plainly says WORLD, not only CHRISTIANS...
I was raised in church to believe that God loves all people, not a select few... And onto this whole goth story, what makes you think that you can preach to people and insult them for their beliefs? God loves them. I read a post earlier about a goth girl who was a loving person and was murdered, and someone posted that they are glad they are not them because she is now in heaven with an angry God... I beg to differ, If she lived her life in a loving and pure way and was never given the chance to be lead to the Lord, then I am willing to bet my life that the Lord is holing her in His arms right now giving her the love that she desrves. The people in my church have read that article and have all, yes, ALL said that it was a horrible thing to happen to Sophie and Rob and we held a special prayer for them and we don't even know them... Have you prayed for Sophie or Rob???? Where is your faith when people in the world need prayer???? I prayed for Sophie to be welcomed by the Lord and for her to rest in peace and I prayed for Rob to recover from his wounds and for the Lord to help him in his grief for a loved one... If someone you knew had to die, would you not pray for them or for their loved ones??? I start to ponder the questions, "Are you hot, cold or luke warm? Are you happy with the person you have become? Is God happy with the person you have become?" I pray for your eyes to be opened to the love our Lord has for all the world and not only a select few.... I know I am upsetting a few people with this post, and I am glad I am upsetting you... Because if you are getting upset with this, then it just shows you that are one of the few that I am talking about in this post who need to seek God in their quiet time, and seek His guidance in your lives... Ask Him to show you the error of your ways and ask His forgiveness for what you have done and the pain you have brought to the lives of Sophie's family and friends.. It also states in the Bible that Jesus loved ALL... Even the people who whipped and crucified him... That is the love that you should show others... That is the love that the Lord wants us to show to others... I can tell you now, that if Jesus were there in the flesh when Sophie and Rob were visciously attacked, he would've laid his life on the line for Sophie and Rob, because the Lord judges what is inside us, not what is on the outside... I am a Christian and as I have said before will not change my religion, and I am currently engaged to what you would describe as a goth.. And I already know that our union is blessed by the Lord as I have seeked His face and asked for His blessing and I have received it... She is also the most gentle and loving person that I know, even more so than some Christians I have known... Here are a few passages for you to read..
"Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do ..." Luke 23:34
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven." Luke 6:37
"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." 1 John 3:11
And here is one final thought for you, GOD can use anyone...
As shown
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
Mary Magdalene was, well you know
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer...........
AND
Lazarus was dead!
Now how would you have judged these people that the Lord used???
Just because people dress and look different does not depict what is in their hearts..
Thank you for reading my post and may God bless and forgive you all..
Amen
