Damn me? Who damns me?

[notworthy Waiting for Email Confirmation]

I have been redeemed by the blood of Christ for about 20 years now.

I am thoroughly convinced it is true, and that the bible contains Gods holy word.

I do believe that many versions of the bible could be tainted, that the sabbath may indeed have been on a day other than Sunday and that there is a very clear right and wrong.

I also believe that the gospel comes to people in many flavors. Some need the hellfire and brimstone approach, others need to simply be shown that they are loved and are of value to God.

Another thing I believe in is that we should be very careful in what we say and how we say things so that new believers or people seeking answers. We should not dilute the truth. We should speak the truth with conviction. But we should also be aware of what we are doing.

Christ himself, if you believe the word of God, rebuked many elders and leaders, yet was a patient teacher to those who were seeking him out.

What I see here is quite shocking. The verbage used and the attitudes shown, but most importantly the judgments being passed, they are all disgusting. One should not condone sin. One should stand up for what is Gods truths. But one should also do it in a way that mimics Chist, and that is through Love, Understanding and Patience.

I happened upon this website while looking to see if there is a profanity filter for Minecraft. You people speak about what you don't understand. Doesn't the bible describe this as being a fool? The majority of you should stick to something other than making fools of yourselves when it comes to technology. Just because you can get online and use a computer does not mean you know enough to make some of the claims you have regarding that Game.

It makes you look silly. But the worst part is, your comments, your signatures and your attitudes could deter a person who was genuinely looking for answers.

It seems people around here are very fond of passing judgement, as if they themselves were God. You do not know the plans of God, for they are his alone. Maybe some here should respond to people in a manner consistent with how Christ would. If that is our standard to abide by, ask yourself, would Christ himself respond the way you do?

Everything we say is in accordance with the Scriptures. Read the Bible and get your facts straight before you start flaming us.

Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

Leviticus 19:15: Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

While I do attend a baptist church, I choose to only because in my church there is minimal "religion". Most churches I have been to are much too "religious". I prefer to fellowship with other believers who are more concerned with how they can serve the Lord and spread the Good News than worry about whether my denomination is correct or incorrect, blah blah blah.

A True Christian is more than just a trademark. More than just a fancy website or a christian author. And a True Christian doesn't have to be paranoid either. It is no easy task to live in this world when you are a follower of Christ. There are many things which with to attack you with. But being a member of a certain church does not "guarantee salvation". Neither will playing a video game or watching a movie send you to hell.

I guess I am a simple guy. I believe what I read in the bible, and I believe that nothing I can do (well, almost nothing, there are a couple exceptions) can separate me from Gods love.

No thanks, I won't be visiting your church. I just felt compelled to speak my mind. I consider myself to be the bottom of the totem pole. I am a filthy sinner, born to die a sinner, yet even for this, found that I am loved. Loved enough even that through the blood of Christ, my sins have been forgiven.

Do you usually start every sentence with a reference to yourself? That's pretty self-centered. Did you read somewhere on the way in here that this is the It's All About Me and How You Are Wrong, forum?

A True Christian™ is someone who believes and follows God's every word. If you break one of His laws you have broken them all.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Loved enough even that through the blood of Christ, my sins have been forgiven.

Back that up with scripture, please.

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

Wow, now that was exactly how I would expect Christ himself (whom you represent) to have answered me

Back up or Shut up, point out the Chapters and verses that back up your little tirade.

Gee, I did not know I was on a tirade. I thought what I said was you guys seem foolish, angry and in general might want to think about what you say and how you say it so that you reflect the attitude of Christ. Your reply does little to argue my point.

Everything we say is in accordance with the Scriptures. Read the Bible and get your facts straight before you start flaming us.

Now this is a pretty good response, although I think your definition of "flaming you" is quite different from mine. When one expresses his opinion in a polite way, it is not flaming, it is talking. But, you did reply in a manner that was civil, very nice.

As to quoting scriptures, you won't find that from me. Every pastor/preacher has a slightly different take on any passage. It can be twisted to fit almost any viewpoint. Quoting scripture for an answer is fine, as long as one does not inject his "humanly flawed" logic too much.

It is good that you quote scripture here. Please do bear in mind that I never said you were false prophets or anything like that. I simply stated that the verbage and attitudes displayed here are very - rough. When I get the opportunity to talk to christians, I can share my viewpoints. I don't try to hammer it down thier throats though. It isn't my place.

But when I get the privelage of talking to a non-believer, I tread very carfullly. I still tell the truth which they might not enjoy hearing, but I pray that I will say what God would have me say. I have found, for myself anyway, that I have never, ever, not even once, been led to aggressive words. I have used terse words, and have told people, "you are a sinner, you sin by doing XYZ", but not quite like I have seen some in here do it.

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

I also believe that the gospel comes to people in many flavors. Some need the hellfire and brimstone approach, others need to simply be shown that they are loved and are of value to God.

So why is there only ONE Bible? Why didn't God give us a different bible for each "flavor" preference? BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE NARROW PATH. ANd it's not yours.

Another thing I believe in is that we should be very careful in what we say and how we say things so that new believers or people seeking answers. We should not dilute the truth. We should speak the truth with conviction. But we should also be aware of what we are doing.

But the worst part is, your comments, your signatures and your attitudes could deter a person who was genuinely looking for answers.

So you claim that you know more about preaching Christianity than Christ himself did. We preach the way Jesus preached.

It seems people around here are very fond of passing judgement, as if they themselves were God. You do not know the plans of God, for they are his alone.

You'd prefer us to be apologetic, flip-flopping, mealy-mouthed appeasers of sin. Typical liberal.

Whereas just making stuff up is better? Any idiot can say "Jesus was a black gay prostitute who smoked pot, you have to read it in context". And if scripture can't be used in the debate, it's impossible to prove them wrong. And your appeasement Jesus isn't so different from the black gay hippie Jesus liberals expect us to accept without proof.

You do realize this is a forum, right? You must also realize then that when someone converses with others, many times they express thier opinions. You cannot express your opinion without using "first person" english, thus the use of "I".

What did you expect, that I was going to post on a forum like this with something like:

To enable SRP on Vista Home you only need a few registry entries. The CreateProcess() method is already checking the registry, so it works. However, you cannot use the GPO unless you have Vista Premium or above. The nice part about this is that you can craft them yourself, or use others. You will need a GUID (that is a Globaly Unique Identifier), but they are almost always safe to use without creating them new.

If you wanted to you could also not rely soley on a default deny setup, but you could enable a registry value that unlocks the "Basic User" feature. In this manner you could login as an admin, and selectively choose which process would be started with the security token of a user. A very nice feature, and available to all versions starting in XP

Maybe you were so focused on how many "I's" I used that you missed the crux of my opinion. I, being the author of what I wrote, was very explicit in expressing my concern of how others might find replies given by folks like yourself, and that I would imagine our Lord Jesus Christ would respond much differently than many I have seen. That sounds like a lot of concern for someone other than myself.

But, that is just ME I guess. lol.

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

You're a very hateful girl. Why don't you tell us about yourself, your church, and the path you walk with Jesus.


By he way, to answer your question: You damn yourself.

It does appear that this individual is following in the self-serving pride that the devil himself was cast out of heaven for.

Isaiah
14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Our judgment is sound and ordained by the Lord!

And if this individual(notworthy) cannot see the authority that True-Christians™ have been annointed with, then it is because notworthy does not know Jesus, the Lord that we know.

1 John
3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Still don't get it do you? This forum is not about you. We really could not care less about your self-centered, egotistical rantings about how right you think you are and how wrong you think we are.
