Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

Are U allowed to swear

hOw is he a racist?????????? doesnt it say in the bible not to judge people but here u are judging people, why dont u let god do the judging

I think we need a pastor in here for an exorcism. This person is shouting to herself, or the demons in her head. Or maybe the demons in her rectum, considering how quickly and forcefully she attempted to defend them.

Welcome friend! How long have you been retarded? What is the underlying root of the affliction? The Bible tells us common causes are genital diseases of the parents, usually the mother and a whore lifestyle. We see it all the time.

I'll pray God takes pity on your worthless soul and grants you relief, perhaps making you a deaf mute. He already did the dumb part.
Praise His glory!

Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Proverbs 5:3-5
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Proverbs 15:24
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

Proverbs 23:13-14
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Isaiah 33:14
The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Matthew 3:12
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Matthew 5:29-30
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 13:38-42
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Matthew 18:8-9
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Matthew 25:28-30
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Mark 9:43-48
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Luke 3:17
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

Luke 16:23-26
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Luke 16:28
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

II Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

II Peter 2:3-6
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Jude 1:6-8
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Revelation 2:11
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Revelation 9:1-2
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Revelation 11:7
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Revelation 14:9-11
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. .

Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

True.

Not true.

live your life dude dont hate on others for bieng different

If we hated sinners we would not pay for and participate in a forum dedicated to showing them their errors.

We don't hate sinners, we want them to stop sinning and accept God.

What have you done to help sinners today?

Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

doesnt it say in the bible not to judge people

Where does it say that?

whats wrong with bieng gay, the bible says you cannont as a believer but it doesnt say about anyone else

When commandments relating to the gay were revealed, on more than one occasion incidentally, God included a punishment; nowhere does it say unbelievers are exempt.

In The New Testament (Romans 1 for example) God reiterates His views on the subject. Perhaps in your introduction you could explain where I'm going wrong, if your view of what God requires is in fact correct? I'll include a link because the topic is not really about TF2.

Hello!


I am a homosexual agnostic male, and also a player of TF2, and I've always had a question; if the Christian God is indeed real, and being gay is such a horrible sin, how does he allow homosexuals to exist?


People say that it's because the devil influences people or something along those lines, but God is supposed to be all-powerful, am I correct?


By saying that the devil has more influence over "sinful homosexuals" such as myself, you're suggesting one of two things, either:


- The devil is more powerful than God himself and God cannot overcome the influence the devil has


- God can overcome the influence the devil has but simply does not want to


One of these statements must be true, meaning that God is either not all-loving or he is not all-powerful? The descriptions of God and God's own commands are very contradictory and it's sometimes very hard to actually understand what Christians truly stand for.


Do you believe in loving thy neighbour as your own Jesus asked you to do or do you believe in condemning other people for being who they are? It cannot be both.


You also mention the commandments as given by God which, correct me if I'm wrong, were established in the old testament? I have always found it peculiar how many modern day Christians choose to ignore the old testament when non-believers criticize it for it's questionable content, such as numerous occasions of the LORD threatening people with sexual violence, (Isaiah 3:16-17 KJV), (Jeremiah 13:15–26 NRSV), (Isaiah 13:9–16 NIV).


I am not a troll or a hater, just someone who has been been criticized for my sexual orientation many times by people like yourselves, been spoken down to numerous times in a condescendingly inappropriate manner, and even had people claiming I am an agent of the devil, whatever that means, so I would just like to be able to talk to some members of the Christian community about why they treat people such as I the way that they do and hopefully be civil about it.

Dear Sinner, honest questions deserve honest answers. I've highlighted below some issues in your verbose post to make everything comprehensible to the common sinner.

if the Christian God is indeed real, and being gay is such a horrible sin, how does he allow homosexuals to exist?

People say that it's because the devil influences people or something along those lines, but God is supposed to be all-powerful, am I correct?

Yes, God is all-powerful! You're correct here! Praise God!

Revelation 19:6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

By saying that the devil has more influence over "sinful homosexuals" such as myself, you're suggesting one of two things, either:
- The devil is more powerful than God himself and God cannot overcome the influence the devil has
- God can overcome the influence the devil has but simply does not want to

God does not always want to. He can give Satan some leeway to test mankind.

Job 1:12
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

In addition, God has explicitly stated that He is also the Creator of evil things, including sodomites.

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Proverbs 16:4
The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

This means that God had you specifically in mind during His Creative process. You are there for the day of Evil! To burn forever unless you Repent™.

One of these statements must be true, meaning that God is either not all-loving or he is not all-powerful? The descriptions of God and God's own commands are very contradictory and it's sometimes very hard to actually understand what Christians truly stand for.

Do you believe in loving thy neighbour as your own Jesus asked you to do or do you believe in condemning other people for being who they are? It cannot be both.

Of course God does not love everyone! Where did you get that ridiculous idea!? He loves us - those who obey Him! Glory! Many others He hates!

Romans 9:13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Malachi 1:3
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

The greatest love we can show anyone is to point our their disgusting sins and help them overcome God's hate and ultimately to become True Christians™ and enter Heaven with us! This means that we must judge. In fact, God has called us to judge righteously. In our righteousness, we are qualified even to judge angels!

John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

1 Corinthians 6:3
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

This judgment obsession by sinner derives from their false reading of Matthew:

Matthew 7:1-2
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

I am more than willing to be judged by my own criteria, as I am totally sin-free. I cannot sin! Glory to Jesus!

1 John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

All this is available to you also, Mr. Sodomite. You need to refrain from your anal antics and choose to abstain from intercourse. You are supposed to have a miserable life. That will be richly rewarded!

Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

I hope this cleared thing up. Now you can start Repenting!


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

You seem to be using a secular-biased terminology in your post and I can reciprocate within the narrow focus of a response.

Perhaps you've heard about the small bubble we can observe, known as The Universe? Only a certain amount is visible, it's explained, due to the limited amount of time available for light to travel to the observer (whoever that may be) wherever they're observing from. We have no idea what's going on beyond that limit. However it's still part of the three dimensions of space; events beyond that limit are not in "another" (fifth or eleventh or whatever) dimension.

They're simply too remote to be observed. Suggestions about what happens to our system of coordinates under extreme conditions abound, all speculative, but whatever those conditions may be amounts to the same thing: we lack the resolution in our instruments to make observations.

Whether too distant, then, or too small or too fast (relative to the observer) are just limits. Perhaps you could imagine something moving at the speed of light, some things do apparently, well if you were that thing then relative to you an object such as the sun is what would appear to be moving. "Wow!" you might think, "I wonder how time is passing for that object?" Whether you'd see it as matter or radiation is immaterial here, just as is the question of how two superluminal objects (as they seem to us) may regard one another if they were on parallel trajectories. Their time axis would be very different from ours so their system of coordinates could perhaps be a "different" dimension – especially if rather than running in parallel they were going in opposite directions.

OK, all that assumes "direction" is from our point of view. From their point of view, we'd look like whatever we see when we notice things moving at light speed in opposite directions.

- The devil is more powerful than God himself and God cannot overcome the influence the devil has

The Bible explains that we only ever see a small part of God's influence in the universe. This agrees with agnostic secularism to the extent that we can only ever see a small part of the universe.

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God is not tied to a single time axis. Whether it's yours or that of a neutrino or of two Martians moving in opposite directions has no effect on God. Our logic, bound to time, cannot describe what God is doing and within the aegis of scientific enquiry there is much dissent and jealousy regarding new theories, dispute even regarding the observations themselves.

James 3:15-17 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

God has already defeated the devil. Perhaps if you think of them moving in opposite directions at light speed (from our point of view) like, say, two searchlights pointed in opposite directions you'll see that neither beam would come in contact with the other but that we could see both beams? No object could ever be illuminated by both searchlights. Jesus taught us about Love and what He says is always consistent. God's status in the universe eliminates hypocrisy BUT there are people out there claiming He uses special "magic" words with special "magic" meanings that nobody can understand. Concerning Love, for example, when Jesus said:

Luke 14:26-27 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

He was not teaching us something we could work out for ourselves. He's teaching us something we could NOT work out for ourselves. When people say that He means a special "magic" hate (that no-one's ever heard of) they're trying to distort His teaching. To make Jesus say things He did not actually say. Just because the devil is defeated does not mean that we can't see what his influence would be if he were not.

Perhaps you could address these points in your introduction.

Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

This is what happens when we open our doors in a loving and friendly manner. Retards come wandering in, refusing to abide by the simple rules of decent decorum. They poop in our Church and then complain about the smell.

[MitzaLizalor]

Re: DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY TEAM FORTRESS 2!!!

I think the word "Retard" is inappropriate as it is not used in the bible and got steaming mad.

Let's think about what the verb, to retard, means. We'll be considering two empires in two worlds: Arabic and Roman. Each built upon what went before, then something happened. The so-called Roman Empire admired the artistic achievements of a parallel (and slightly older) society, implementing some of its precepts in her culture du jour. Greek plays were popular and Greek ideas for instruments or machines got a decent airing in Rome. Both were pagan.

Arabs were pagan too. They named some stars and measured a few things and worked out algebra and stuff. A big goon turned up one day (around the time the Romans were winding down) advocating for mass murder and pillage. These in combination, he said, would be a great basis for a national economy. The problem is that apart from a few in these schemes everyone becomes the pillaged or the murdered. Societies operating along such lines never flourish. Today they comprise the third world. A retarding force has been applied. The resulting culture crushes society and ruins progress by stifling ideas.

Jesus came to set us free. Satan reintroduced idols to Rome, seeking to destroy The Gospel. And evidently he succeeded. I'm not saying there are no Christians in Italy but the Romish creed is awash with idols. Something happened to blast Rome just as Arabian culture was blasted into the stone age from tentative beginnings and great hopes. Happily a rejection of idols and grovelling in the dirt came about (not in Arabia obviously where elevation of the buttocks is admired) and True Christianity won through. Eventually. Satan burned alive as many as he could, or drowned, or impaled, or sliced or flayed alive for his amusement. Rome was a big part of this back then as Arabia is today. Jesus noticed though, and Jesus acted. He does not want us living in the stone age. And for those to whom retarding forces have not been applied, troglodyte axioms no longer hold sway.

For others, however, the screws are tightening ever tighter, even now.
