Greetings

[Waikikamukau]

Greetings fellow Christians.

I was born and raised by a wonderful Christian family, I have attended church since the day I can remember, I have read The Holy Bible amongst other amazing Christian writings countless times and I plan on living my life to the fullest while spreading the word of God.

I found this forum through a fan page on my friend's Facebook account about subliminal messaging and I had a look through several threads. I am aware that the internet can be a cruel thing and how it can attract unwanted interest from people with nothing better to do than to cause trouble. Yet through quite a few of your high posting members even more hate is portrayed.

Who are we to judge each other?

Only God can pass judgement. And only after God has cast his judgement may he reward or punish.

Matt 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to swine"

The words of our pastors should be taken with great understanding and respect. Why do they belittle themselves by retaliating to such vulgar remarks by people who clearly do not know what they are talking about?

I am also unsure as to where the term 'True Christian' came from. A trademark on a religious term is, from my understanding, a false idolization. I am also deeply disturbed at the smiley icons available to use. A crucified smiley is surely blasphemous.

I mean no disrespect. I love and worship the very same God you do. I just feel that more time could be spent on teaching instead of persecution. I am not a fool and I know that there is evil out there. But in this day and age evil thrives on attention.

I have friends that I have grown up with who, despite my guidance, do not believe in God. And although they do not believe, they do not judge me for my own. They are tolerant of all religions and we occasionally have religious discussions. We have also discussed the people who are extremely strong in their distaste for the way that some Christian groups work, which I am sure you are all aware of. It is these people that are in need of guidance as opposed to attack. The media thrives on controversial topics and I have seen ample articles about mainstream subjects vs. Religion. Can you not see that attacking is only fueling the fire of disbelief.

I'm afraid I have to go to sleep now as I have work in the morning. I shall return to this thread soon and would be more than happy to discuss what I have said.

Re: Greetings

That's not much of an introduction. Sounds more like a false Christian with a chip on its shoulder.

Please tell us about yourself, your church, your family, etc. We'd like to get to know you.

As for judging others, please take a look at my sermon on the subject HERE. I hope you find it enlightening.

Friend,

I believe you need to consider this quote from our Loving Savior

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

The way I was taught was God judges people and then Jesus tells us His judgment in our hearts of hearts. Those of us who listen to Christ follow God Righteous judgment.

Now friend, I hope you are not asking us to hide the TRUTH from people with Matthew 7:6. Deceit is not the Christian way and people need to be told THE TRUTH even if it hurts their feelings since this is the only way for them to escape damnation.

If we good and true Christian resort to concealing the Lord's TRUTH how are we any better than say Atheists who mock God and manufacture "fossils" to prove their Old Earth nonsense? No as a good and TRUE Christian I refuse to go to the level of your common God mocking unbeliever.

Have a good rest friend and I hope to talk to you soon.

Greetings fellow Christians.

Hello, mr. Waikiku Waiku Wakuki Wikai friend. How do you pronounce your username? And in what way does it glorify God?

Yet through quite a few of your high posting members even more hate is portrayed.

Excuse me? I surely must have missed that, friend. We True Christians™ can speak only out of True Christian Love™. Could you please point out where anyone did that? If there was the tag "unsaved trash" under their username, then it isn't our fault: those people are not True Christians™. That's how you can tell the difference between us and them.

I am also unsure as to where the term 'True Christian' came from. A trademark on a religious term is, from my understanding, a false idolization.

What? How? We merely do that to distinguish ourselves from other people who call themselves "true christians." Many groups call themselves that, while they are false christians in reality. This makes clear that we really are True Christians™.

I am also deeply disturbed at the smiley icons available to use. A crucified smiley is surely blasphemous.

It glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ, as His Atoning Sacrifice relieves us from all sins. How can it be blasphemous to be reminded of that by a smiley?

I have friends that I have grown up with who, despite my guidance, do not believe in God. And although they do not believe, they do not judge me for my own. They are tolerant of all religions and we occasionally have religious discussions.

Unsaved heathens often hold demonic, unbiblical ideologies like that. This is what God thinks of religious tolerance:

Deuteronomy 13:12-16:
If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again

You claim to be a christian, right? Then how can you possibly tell people to accept other religions? They are evil, and should be opposed at all costs! Do you teach your children these heresies as well?

Re: Greetings

Wow!

As the always insightful Pastor noted as well as Church members Bobby-Joe (he sees right though lies like I see through water) and True Disciple (With a KJV Bible in his hand, it is like peas and carrots) something is odd. Perhaps because you are not an American and come from some slant nation, I do not know but you certainly have 'issues'.

You are dead wrong about judging. God does not have the time to judge everyone all the time. He depends on His faithful flock to lend a helping hand. So, for those of us that have been already judged and been accepted as True Christians™, He assigned us the heavy responsibility to judge others. Therefore, as unsaved Trash, what you have done is passed judgment where you have no right to do so. That is a crime against God, shame on you!
I strongly suggest you get out your KJV1611 Bible and read is slowly and carefully, cover to cover, then talk to your Pastor, pray he accepts your sins and provides you a path to repent.
False Christians like you make want to vomit.

Re: Greetings

Hello W. I fear that you may be beyond my help and only the Lord may help you. I do think that some of the experienced posters on this forum may be able to steer you in the right direction but as for me I can only pray that you see the light.

I would advise that you stop keeping the company of your evil and nonreligious friends who mock religion and therefor the Lord. Maybe you should let them know that Hell is real:
