Hi

[wowwow]

Hello everyone my name is Mat I'm here to see what's happening in the online Christian world. I live in a small town with one church and they don't seem to follow God's word anymore. They hate people and wish harm to them simply because they may not follow God. God taut us to love everyone so I believe that is what we are supposed to do. I have read a few posts on here and I must say there is very little love here. I was tempted to leave and not come back but that wouldn't be right There must be some people here who really follow God's word, there just must be. I have seen a lot of hate here so far, God does not want hate, he wants love. And this unsaved trash crap is just that....crap. I am not unsaved trash.

Post the chapter and verse that backs up your claim.

Re: Hi

Love thy neighbor how's that one?

Re: Hi

Love thy neighbor how's that one?

Does that say to love everyone?

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Re: Hi

Then Jesus didn't follow his own rules for he sat down with those people. Gave them a chance. You on the other hand do not. And I noticed your Pastors on here think they have to power to forgive people's sins that people have to confess to them.....no I'm sorry to inform you of this but GOD is the only one you have to confess your sins too. Have you never read the Bible?

Re: Hi

no I'm sorry to inform you of this but GOD is the only one you have to confess your sins too. Have you never read the Bible?

Yes I have. Apparently you haven't. If you had, you would notice this little verse staring you in the face.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Re: Hi

Have you never read the Bible?

Since you've been here, all you've done is whine about True Christians™ not reading the Bible, and then whine when you are proven wrong with Scripture.

2 John.1
[9] Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
[10] If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house,

It seems you're the one lacking in Bible knowledge. Why are you here pretending to be a Christian?

Put up or shut up.

Re: Hi

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. - Deuteronomy 7:9

For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. . . - Psalm 37:28

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. - Proverbs 8:17

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. – 1 John 4:9-11


A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. - Proverbs 17:17

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:12-13

'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:18

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



Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Hebrews 4:16 New International Version

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest


"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One."


And how about this, God knows what is in your heart and why you do what you do. If your intentions are pure then you are not damed to hell. Never tell me to put up or shut up a war with Scripture I have every version of every Bible ever made, and yeah I read them all, and have them all on my computer for easier reference, not that I need it much I have a steel trap mind. I remember almost everything I read.

Re: Hi

What did you do, just run a search on the word 'love'?

Read the quotes you posted again and tell us what you think you've proven.

Re: Hi

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

Keep reading in John 3.

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.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20

Christ dwells in those who believe. Got it. Thanks for agreeing with me.

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. - Deuteronomy 7:9

Let's read more from Deuteronomy 7, shall we?

2And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.



Let's read Deuteronomy 7:10 where God tells us how he deals with those who are unfaithful to Him.



And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. . . - Psalm 37:28
I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. - Proverbs 8:17

Very nice. More verses that agree with me. Now let's see how God says to deal with unbelievers and those who do not seek Him.

2 Chronicles 15:12-13 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. – 1 John 4:9-11

Matthew 10:34-39 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Romans 1:29-32 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:12-13

This is people within the Church. Not unsaved trash.

'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:18

Of thy people. Who is God referring to there? Do you think He meant the Egyptians, the Babylonians or other enemies of His people.

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

[wowwow]

Re: Hi

LOL!!!! I don't need to reread them my point to this was love. He loved us, all of us and we should love as he loves us. I mean really did YOU read what I posted I thought I had made my point very clear.

Re: Hi

You confuse tough love for hate. True Christians™ are not here to comfort you on your way to Hell, nor are we here to make excuses for you while you break whichever commandments you don’t like the sound of - We are here to slap you around the face so you stop disobeying your GOD.

Christianity doesn’t begin and end with ‘love thy neighbor’. There are 31,103 verses in the Bible, not just 1. You have a lot of reading to do, kid. Read the quotes Brother Levi posted and read them again until they sink in. That is the GOD you need to get to know.

Get right with the LORD. Or you’ll be fisted and reamed out by Satan himself in his rape chamber.

Re: Hi

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

Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Hebrews 4:16 New International Version

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I'm trying to point out to you that God is not all love and fluffy bunnies. He is a harsh taskmaster who requires obedience.

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

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Lamentations 3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

Re: Hi

I didn't want to do this but you left me no choice. Your faith, your bible your holidays all belong to Pagans. Yes these are websites but on them is the truth. This does not make Christians wrong no. It's just another religion that some people find strength in. And really, as long as a religion teaches love and peace there is nothing wrong with it.
I don't think so. And God wants us to love each other and be full of peace. You see the bible over the years as been changed by men. King James wrote the KJ bible and again man revised it. I think it is time for people to get along
