Re: Atheists, please read this!

If learning the true message that was left for us in the Bible (and unlearning all the lies told you by your parents, teachers, and pastors over the years) is fun, then yes, you shall.



Please provide Scripture supporting your unstated allegation that your opinion is more valid than the Bible.



Then how do you account for all of the places where the Bible commands Christians to judge others? Oh, that's right, you just ignore the inconvenient bits, don't you?



Why don't we see what the Bible has to say on the matter? Here we go:

John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Um, yeah.



Now you expect them to defend not only their own actions and words, but those of some unnamed "other forums" that these people have nothing to do with, no control over, not even an idea of who the hell you're referring to? Way to set an impossibly bar for others to reach (oh, but NOT yourself, who doesn't even have the courtesy to identify yourself, hiding behind a pseudonym).



My mistake, I thought you said you were a Christian.

Your homework assignment: find out what the Bible says about how to treat people who try to convince you to follow other gods, offer their own interpretation of Scripture, or ignore parts of the Bible.

I actually did provide scripture for my statements, and just commented on my understanding of said scriptures.

I serve a living God who send His son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins. I strive every day to live a life of tolerance, forgiveness and love, and in so doing uplifting the name of God through my actions. I try not to judge, since I am not pure. I try to love, since God is love. I try to be kind, since we shall be known by our actions. I try to heal the sick in my profession, clothe the poor, with the help from my church, give hope to the hopeless by giving them an ear that will listen, and understanding. Isn't that why we were created?

Re: Atheists, please read this!

Oh my goodness. What an interesting blog this is. I shall have fun here indeed.

OK, since this is the one topic (of many) that caught my eye, I shall proceed in commenting.

I am Christian, so we all share at least one common interest on this forum. Now, for the fun part....voicing my opinion.

Matthew 7:1-6
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. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

This is an interesting passage from the Holy Bible. From what I can see on this forum, many of my brothers and sisters in Christ don't spend time reading this. You judgement, bigotry and ridicule makes me kind of ashamed to call myself Christian. From what I understand, our Father in heaven is the only one that has the right to judge us mere mortals.

That is covered in the thread that you were supposed to read before posting.

1 John 4:16
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

Looking at this forum, I honestly don't see much love going around. If others don't have the exact belief system you have, they are immediately condemned to hell in your eyes, which brings us right back around to the judging of others.

If you see someone standing on the train tracks in the path of an oncoming freight train, which is the more loving thing to do: to say, "Oh, well, it's really none of my business," or to get that person to safety by any means necessary?

Matthew 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you

God forgives sin, who are we not to forgive, to judge others for what we see as sinful lifestyles? Would it not be better if we try to live our lives in the image of Christ, focusing all our strength on being better Christians, and doing kind deeds? Instead we sit around and judge others, muddying our own souls with hate.

That's very pretty, but here's what else God teaches:

Ezekiel 33:8-9: When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Would we not be better served spreading a message of kindness, etc. showing the world what true children of God is?

What better way is there to show the world what true children of God are, except by preaching His Word exactly as He has revealed it to us?

Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

The hatred I've seen spread on this forum and on many others does not portray a God of love.

Sorry, my God is a god of love, a God of forgiveness, a God who weeps at the hatred being spread in his name.

Then your god is an incomplete version of the real God:

Psalm 5:4-5: For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

You need to believe in the entire Bible, not just a few cherry-picked feel-good verses.

Re: Atheists, please read this!

Friend,

If you feel we are not following Christ's message of unconditional love or damnation to humanity please tell us specifically were we show hate for the unsaved scum of the world. Are we not giving these sinners His message as He tasks us with His Great Commission to us true and good Christians? To do otherwise is to let a sinner slink off to hell without trying to help. Merely saying they hopeless, because sinners are repulsive, pervert scum is not what Jesus wants.

Well, "unsaved scum of the world"? Wow, that is drowning them in love right there. How can you preach love, yet call someone you don't know scum? Wouldn't a better approach be to get closer to the unsaved with kind gestures, and then tell them how wonderful our God is? I mean, actions does speak louder than words...and leading by example is always a very good way of getting unsaved individuals to listen to the beautiful message of our Lord?

[Bobby-Joe]

Re: Atheists, please read this!

All I see is hatred here. You don't know me, yet you deem it necessary to say I am hating? I have many versions of the Bible, since I have an inquiring mind. Between working on my oncology specialty, raising a lovely set of twins and creating a loving home for my husband, I also have time to read the Word, and try to live according to the example Jesus gave. But I suppose being an educated woman who does not judge others would put me in the category of a "cherry picker", whatever that might mean.

Re: Atheists, please read this!

Sorry Angel. You seem to be a bit of a cherry picker. What you need to do, as I have done, is go and actually read your Bible (KJV 1611 in the original Old English). We live by the Word of God literally. In fact you could say that The Bible (KJV 1611) has been brought to life by us.

There is no hatred here apart from that brought in by atheists and cherry pickers, like yourself.

Re: Atheists, please read this!

So you can't even do good theology? No actual knowledge of the bible? At least the dorks here seem to actually beleive what they are spouting.

And you can lock a car and keep the keys safe. Use your brain for a minute.

Listen up, Boy. I am still waiting for a logical response to my earlier post. Obviously you are a crack smoking degenerate that is obsessed with raping children.

Although it would seem unlikely to others, you can still be saved. repent, walk away from the crack pipe and the rent boys. God has a plan for you.

Just because there is a car infront of your parents house, it doesn't mean you are allowed to use it. Especially, when your parents tell you not to use it.

Ok, Brain Dead Fred. You have obviously been smoking too much crack. Why do you bring pedophillia into the equation? Are you a pedo?

You, sir are a fool:

Proverbs 10:14

Wise men lay vp knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is neere destruction.

GLORY! Answer is obvious enough; God, who is all powerful and has perfect knowledge know Adam and Eve (well mainly Eve) were SINNERS when God created them! Therefore God's hands were tied by Adam and Eve's (and let me stress it was chiefly Eve's) sins. Adam, at Eve's wicked instigation, FORCED God to put the Tree of Knowledge next to them.

[Thomas Taylor]

Re: Atheists, please read this!

Don't you see that YOU are talking nonsense? God put the tree of knowledge near to Adam and Eve.

That's like housing a paedo on a hill overlooking the local primary school. What kind of person would do that? It's asking for trouble.

I'd like to see YOU find a bible quote to explain that.

Tick tock.
