Re: Hey There

Hello Octavia, I noticed a new introduction thread and thought I would pop by to welcome you to our friendly little forum. But after reading the rude and argumentative tone of your posts and seen the way you willfully misinterpret and twist holy scripture, I do not feel quite so inclined to welcome, you as before. Please, read your Bible, curb your disrespectful tongue and I shall review my decision to welcome you or not, in a few days time.

Re: Hey There

.........You guys should learn to respect people, even if they have different beliefs. Instead of saying something disrespectful and mean to newcomers you should welcome them. If they have different beliefs, don't tell them that they are wrong. While they are going through discussions they might realize a few things. If you say harsh things right off the start all you do is make them NOT want to join you.

I have been very kind to you and you have bee rude. I know your behavior disappoints God and probably your family too. You need to learn to treat people with respect.

You cannot go about with blinders on to everything.

I was praying for you today and I wept.

Re: Hey There

If you want to effectively spread your message and come out with good results, then you need to change the way you talk to people.

People are not well served in Salvation™ by being told lies about whether God hates them for their sin. I know you've been told to sugar the pill but if some dreadful queer asks me if it's OK for him to fornicate with men would you rather I told him straight or wibbled on about God loves everyone with no foundation whatever in fact?

Bearing false witness about the Lord does not come easy to those truly moved by the Holy Spirit.

Re: Hey There

Where does it say in the Bible we should respect the beliefs of others?
Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Where does it say we should welcome heathens?
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Why should we not rebuke people who are going to Hell? Shouldn't we try to stop them damning themselves? What kind of monster are you?
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Re: Hey There

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. - Isaiah 11:12

That doesn't mean the Earth is flat. the "4 corners" could refer to 4 different points of interest on the Earth.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. - 1 Samuel 2:8

That doesn't say it's flat either.

[I]Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken

The moon reflects light from the sun, and it does so very well. This doesn't say anywhere that the moon is it's own light source, it just means that the moon won't reflect it from the sun.

I see that Octavia has decided not to respond to me anymore.

I have a life you know. I can't be here every second of the day.

[COLOR=black]Octavia, we didn’t and won’t give up on you, even if you loathe us right now

I don't loathe you guys, I just get quite annoyed with the people here.

Re: Hey There

Even if she doesn't return to us, the Holy Spirit will continue to impress our morals upon her until she can no longer bear living the lie she's trapped in.

I expect to see her come back as a Born Again True Christian.

I hope so, because at the moment she's lost in a world of listening to fluffy Bible groups that pick and choose what to focus on and skip anything that might trouble her sweet brain.

I thought at first she was a willing agent of antichrist but I wonder now if she hasn't been duped and is a patsy of false prophets and sincerely believes she is a True Christian™
. I am moved to tears by just how many must have been similarly abused and brainwashed as children.

Re: Hey There

Octavia, we didn’t and won’t give up on you, even if you loathe us right now – that doesn’t really matter. I hope that someday soon you'll figure out that we only want to help you understand the Truth®.

I’ll pray for you tonight.

Amen, Brother. I think we should all pray that Octavia sees the Light of Jesus and rejects Satan's perverse lies. We could always use another soul in Heaven to help us worship the Lord without pause for all eternity.

Re: Hey There

Well, it's not a light. We've been to it and have many pictures of it, so we know it a big ball of... something

Octavia, these are the words directly from the sweet lips of Jesus,

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

You would prefer to trust some grainy black and white movies from NASA than the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. How is that Christian?

Re: Hey There

I have no idea about how old it is. And no, I think the earth is round.

Then you've just admitted you're a false Christian who doesn't know what the Bible says.

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. - Isaiah 11:12

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. - 1 Samuel 2:8

Well, it's not a light. We've been to it and have many pictures of it, so we know it a big ball of... something.

I am speechless. Have you read the Bible?

God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. - Genesis 1:16

Re: Hey There

So atheists have valid arguments against GOD?

No, they have no arguments against God, but they have their own answers for how we came to be and all that.

You think that science disproves GOD and the Bible?

Nope

So the Earth isn't a 6,000-year-old disc?

I have no idea about how old it is. And no, I think the earth is round.

You don't believe in the global flood and Noah's Ark?

I do

You think the moon is a big ball of rock instead of a lesser light?

Well, it's not a light. We've been to it and have many pictures of it, so we know it a big ball of... something.

You believe in evolution?

Micro-evolution, yes. We see it all around us everyday. That's why we have many types of dogs or cats or other animals.

I don't believe in the "we came from monkeys" evolution though.

Octavia seems to have ducked out of this thread.

I have to wait a while in between posts. I just leave and come back later instead of waiting.

No doubt she's off being ridden by her furry friends.

Hahahaha, oh wow. Where could you have possibly gotten this idea?
