God did not take away my stutter because I lake faith. He did not take it away because it is part of His plan.

Friend, as I said in the OTHER thread -

People NORMALLY write the way they talk. If they're uneducated it usually shows in their spelling, grammar and punctuation. Same with people with a speach retardation like stuttering. That means people who stutter / stammer probably write with stutters / stammers in their sentences, because that's the way their brain malfunctions.

I can see from a mile off you do not have a stutter, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to brag about it, or come onto a forum, and say "Hey, I have a retardation in the way I speak". So what's your game? Why are you trying to make people 'think' you have a stutter?

If I knew anyone with a stutter, I certainly wouldnt be telling anyone about it. In fact, I would probably disown them. People who keep friends with stupid people are bound for Hellfire, friend -


Proverbs 13:20

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."


From your message, I can guess that you either have a friend / family member with a speech impediment / who is a cripple / mentally retarded. Though I have yet to figure out why.

Re: New to this forum and a little hesitant about joining

I have been a Christian for 13 years. I have asked Jesus into my heart and to control my life. I stive to live as He lived. In my walk with the Lord I have fallen down flat on my face, but He has always been there to pick me up and dust me off. I do consider myself a christian and do not claim to belong to any one demoniation of the church, but I do attend a Baptist church. I am 30 years old, married and have 5 children. Oh yeah, and I stutter. I have suttered since I was 4 years old. If anyone has questions on this matter I invite you to ask, however, to judge me or to tell me I am not a christian simply because I stutter will not be tolerated. I have read the terms of this forum and it says that any form of hate will not be tolerated. However, by the things I have read, it seems there is a lot of hate here. This is why I am hesitant about joining. Someone please explain your idea of hate. I wanted to join a forum where people could discuss the christian faith and help others when they fall short as a christian community should, but my start on this site has not led me to believe I will find that here. But, I am still holding out hope.

Nice try, but you never stuttered ONCE there, buddy. God doesn't like liars.

Now, let's start again. Why do you want people to 'think' you have a stutter / speech retardation? THAT is the REAL question here.

He did not take it away because it is part of His plan.

Can you point out a Scripture where Jesus says that God has a specific "plan" for everyone? I have heard this before, and have looked over the New Testament in some detail, but seemed to have missed this part.

In the New Testament I was reading, Jesus cured the afflicted. Jesus cured blind people (Mark 8:22-26), Mark 10:46-52, Matthew 20:29-34, Luke 18:35-43, Matthew 9:27-31, John 9:1-12), Lepers (Matthew 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45 and Luke 5:12-16. Luke 17:11-19), Paralized people (Matthew 9:1-8, Mark 2:1-12 and Luke 5:17-26). He cured women (Mark 5:21-43, Matthew 9:18-26, Luke 8:40-56, Luke 13:10-17) and men (Luke 14:1-6, Mark 7:31-37 and Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10, also Matthew 14:34-36 and Mark 6:53-56). In fact, as Jesus passes through Gennesaret all those who touch his cloak are healed.

There must be a reason He has not cured you. If it's this "plan" verse, could you please point it out? I don't see one place where Jesus says "well, I would love to cure you, and I certainly COULD do it, but God tells me he has a plan for you, so shove off."

I never said I will not tolerate the word of God. The word of God is not hate. Jesus did not come to hate the sinner. He sat and broke bread with the sinner and tryed to show them God's love and mercy. I do believe that when someone sins we do need to show them there sin, but to condem them to damnation is not our place, it is not our right, and it is not our job.

God did not take away my stutter because I lake faith. He did not take it away because it is part of His plan.

We are in complete agreement. Nobody here hates you friend, and that is absolutely correct: God did not take away your stutter because you lack faith. That is exactly what I said. I agree that it is part of His plan. It may also be part of His plan for you to burn in Hell for all eternity with the sinners you hypocritically judge, while TRUE Christians(tm) are laughing gaily at your suffering from Heaven. It is with True Christian Love(tm) that I accept your choice to deny the teachings of the KJV Bible and thereby God's Will.

We don't condemn anyone to damnation. God does that. We just warn people who are either too stupid or too foolish to read the Bible for themselves.

Jesus only broke bread with the repentant. He taught that the unrepentant would burn in Hell.

Friend, I think you are confused. Neither I nor any True Christian(tm) hates anyone personally: but when I am told that someone is an abomination before the Lord, I adjust my interaction with them accordingly.

(Proverbs 10:12) "Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins."



For example: when God tells me that it is wrong when people joo me while making a market transaction, I listen.

(Proverbs 11:1) "A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight."

It's just the right thing to do!



Yours in Christ,

You will not tolerate the Word of God?

Matthew 21:22

King James Version (KJV)

22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

If you have prayed to be more articulate, and God has not granted this wish, it can only be because you lack faith.



John 9:31 also tells us that God does not answer the prayers of unbelievers.



Could it be any clearer that you are not a Christian?
