Re: Alright

Haha good sir "american" is not a language. English on the other hand is.

Did you bother to read Pastor Ezekiel's awards before you decided to backsass him? No, you didn't, did you? Open mouth; remove foot.

Re: Alright

God wants us to be richly rewarded for our faith.



The United States is the single most powerful and wealthy nation in the world.

Now don't smart off to me, boy!

Well that's is your opinion sir, and I respect your opinion. Doesn't change the fact that "american" is not language.

American is as much a language as the rubbish scots and irish is 'English'.

Re: Alright

With all respect.. Why are homosexuals being damned? And don't tell me to read what Pastor Ezekiel wrote because I already did.. and from the looks of that list of people being damned.. it seemed like the only people not being damned are pastors and church goers and bible readers... Is that really what HE had in mind? I thought he loved us all?

Re: Alright

Pretty much. God loves us so much that He sent His son to die (temporarily) for our sins, so that if we simply accept His kind offer of Redemption, we don't have to go to hell. But if you choose to reject His infinite love, then you will suffer unfathomable torments for all of eternity in the lake of fire. Have you even picked up a Holy Bible (KJV 1611), son? This is one of the first things people learn about Christianity.

John 3:16-18
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
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.

The fact that you do not recognize God's Love for what it is only goes to show the distance you place between yourself and your Creator. My family and I will pray for you.

Re: Alright

So I've been reading through a few threads on this site for a while now, and all i could think while reading it all was; wow all this is rather ridiculous. But I digress, My name Is Justin, I'm a believer in both Jesus and God. I haven't read the bible through and through, and I don't attend church, but I do consider myself an open minded Christian.

Hey dummy, have you ever heard the Internet term, "RTM?"

It means "read the manual," and it's what experienced computer users say to idiots who come to them with easily solved computer problems.

Well, scat-for-brains, your human life has something in common with a computer, in that your life also comes with a manual. That manual is known as The King James Bible, and if you'd like for your stupid little life's problems to be solved, I'd suggest you get in the habit of reading it!

[Faith_Machine]

Re: Alright

I'm sorry Justine, that was overly harsh of me, and one of the pastors here had to have a private word with me about my treatment of you.

I hope that you can forgive me, friend. It's just that I get so angry when I hear about people being "open minded," or worse yet, not reading the Bible!

Why would I here asking this question if I hadn't? I didn't come here to be insulted and have you think I am an idiot (or a male, since i am a Female)
I honestly do not understand and I find it quite rude that instead of somebody nicely answering my question I am being ridiculed.

I recognize his love quite well! I just don't understand why if God is so loving how his love can be so conditional.. It doesn't seem fair that people who have committed murder and stolen and done all kinds of horrible things can repent for their sins and be better than somebody who has never done anything bad but doesn't commit their life to a bible.. They still committed the crime did they not? And since you're going to tell me "God is forgiving" Why can't he forgive the humans in this world that just happen to like the same sex? How is that worse than murder?

And No, I am not a homosexual, I just never understood this.

Look, God is forgiving and does love us tremendously. That is why He gave us the gift of his son who temporarily died on the cross for our sins that we are born with. In fact, God will forgive any sin*. If a person can commit horrible crimes like murder and cannibalism, like Jeffrey Dahmer, and then sincerely repent of those crimes and be allowed to Heaven....isn't that the ultimate expression of love? I would think so! Could you as a mortal human being find the same amount of compassion and forgiveness as God?

And, if you pay attention, God does forgive gay people, just as long as they repent from the horrible sin of homosexuality and become an ex-gay. Homosexuality is a sin and if a person keeps sinning and doesn't repent, they will go to Hell. Those are the rules. Who are you to tell God what is right and what is wrong when He is the ultimate arbitrator of morality?

*Except blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. See Mark 3:28-29 for details.

Re: Alright

I just don't understand what is making it a sin!? It makes absolutely no sense to me.
And I am not telling GOD what is right!! If i were trying to do that don't you think I would be trying to talk to him and not you folk?

There's your problem! Anyone reading the bible all the way through as a child reads it can only come to one conclusion about the true nature of God!

Re: Alright

You don't need to understand God - you just need to heed God. How much plainer can God say it to you?

Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Thank you.
I understand where you're coming from, just as a person it's hard for me to grasp the concept of something I don't understand.

The other issue you are missing friend is ALL of us have sinned equally. EVERYONE is killed of a damnable sin from the moment they are born. Doesn't matter if you are baby or Adolph Hitler - everyone deserves Hell. Only by accepting Jesus as our Savior do we get a fresh start from that. That's why a murders get to repent.

Amen! If Hitler accepted Jesus before shooting himself in the bonker, he's in Heaven. And if Mother Theresa didn't renounce her Papist ways before dying, then she's rotting in Hell. Shout Glory!!
