Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

Read both of my posts again: I'm not mocking anything. No parody, no meanness, just me pleading with you to do something that I truly feel you need to do. How could there possibly be any evil intent in asking you to read the Bible?

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

Too bad it is mocking the one true god, as it has a lot of content that might be funny if not so, well, mocking.

The only one mocking God here is you. You sneer at His word whenever it suits you and trick people into believing they can somehow be saved by making up their own personal God inside their own head. How did you decide God means you to do this?

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I guess you missed these reproofs to your wishy washy nonsense. I'll leave the last word to the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

I have

I am

I do

I also

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?

You left out "I believe."

What is it with these people who come here and think we're going to be so interested in their harebrained beliefs?

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

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.

It seems people around here are very fond of passing judgement, as if they themselves were God... 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?

First you tell us to mimic Christ, then you tell us off for acting like God, then you tell us we should be acting like Christ (i.e. God). Are we meant to be behaving like Our Lord (in which case we're perfectly entitled to pass judgement) or aren't we?

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.

Perhaps you should read this: Does it matter how we praise the Lord?

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.

You're the bottom of the totem pole, and yet you judge us? Are you guided by the Holy Spirit or aren't you?

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.

If you don't quote scripture, what is the connection between God and what you're saying?

But when I get the privelage of talking to a non-believer, I tread very carfullly.

I apologise on behalf anyone who you feel has spoken too harshly to you. Rest assured, as a devout Christian I truly do want to save your Hellbound soul, and so I'm taking this very seriously.

All I do know is that God often uses others to teach us what he wants us to learn.

Yes. God has brought you here so He can use us to teach you how to become a real Christian.

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

This is a Godly forum, and as such, we are here to warn you of your sinful ways which we have been commissioned to do in the Bible.



Ezekiel
3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

If you had read the Bible you would know this instead of crerating your own heretic brand of religion.

We are fighting through much labor and prayer that they Lord will intervene and deliver individuals, like yourself(notworthy) from the tainting of the flesh which is ruled by the deomonic forces of hell.

Jude
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

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?

Fuck off.

I was quite shocked to read in the original post:

..need to simply be shown that they are loved and are of value to God.

But what happens when it turns out that your victim is in fact loathed and detested by God?

Many people have been, are and will continue to be destroyed by God.
What if you were talking to someone, perhaps someone of the type mentioned in Ezekiel 6:9-10;_Zechariah 12:4 or Revelation 6:4,8
..telling them how much God loved and valued them (unaware that they were sheduled for leprosy in 5 minutes)? You'd walk away "feeling" good and they'd be smitten with the leprous plague because God found them repugnant and vile.

Numbers 12:9-10

Miriam was healed, despite her sin. Not so for others.
Even if they are "basically OK with God" permanent leorosy can result from many causes.

II Kings 15:1-5

..and how would you know that?

Re: Damn me? Who damns me?

You know, I am a pretty big geek. I know more about computers than most. I know a number of program languages. I have been using the internet since it began. I have never heard of this website before. That is pretty amazing really.

I must say, I read the minecraft thread first, and then decided to reply (

How many bifurcations can one person insert into a single post? If you are heavily into Satanic children's games and are past your teens then you aren't that bright and cannot possibly "know more about computers than most." And to "have been using the internet since it began" giving you the credit of the doubt that you were a child prodigy of five years of age, you have to be at least 47 years of age. If so, why are you still playing children's games and Satanic ones at that?

How many S-100 bus based systems did you design and build as your first computers? Do you still remember the pin-out of a nixie tube? If not, you have a long way to go to even match some of our esteemed True Christians(tm) who hang out here.
