What can we say, he knows his Bible and hasn't performed a bannable offense. My family prays for him daily, that he'll turn to Jesus.

Oh but he will!

You see, the LORD has made the hearing Word a precursor to faith! One reads it, and through this reading, the LORD gives faith!

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17

It's just a matter of time before Didymus is blessed with the faith of the True Christian™!

Is that cynicism I'm hearing? Are you the token athiest? Or just kept around as sort of a pet.

But if you want to call him our "pet atheist", I guess that's a good enough explanation.

Do not talk to that heathen. He will lead you astray from the narrow path.

Excellent advice. Thank you Dr. Niles for setting me straight. I will use this as an example that sin and temptation are everywhere. I let my guard down for one fleeting moment and almost began cozying up to an arrogant atheist dick.

Fixed your spelling, but that's the most polite way I've been described here in a long time, so thanks, I guess.

It's exasperation with people who cannot accept that words have specific meanings, and that when arranged properly, convey clear messages, whether we like what they say or not.

He's a foul God mocking piece of filth. I'm amazed he isn't banned. Pastor Ezekiel's knowledge of God's plan is superior to mine, so I guess I have to trust him that one day the God mocker will be saved.

So, an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing being, capable of creating the entire universe, is incapable of clearly stating His requirements for mankind's salvation? Why do you worship such an inherently flawed being?

If the Bible is open for interpretation according to each reader's whim, what point does it serve at all?



And the last few MILLENIA of scientific research have shot down the concepts of a seven-day creation, immaculate conception, resurrection, talking animals, flat planets, etc. but you're still here.

Re: Aleska's Intro

These people are just wrong about how Jesus wants us to be because they follow a bible that was twisted by men to hate women.

True Christians™ follow the Holy Bible as written because that is the Revealed Word of God, not the Implied Word of God. We know the LORD has protected and will protect the Holy Bible from being twisted by men who hate. I mean, just look at the Roman Catholic Church who twisted the Holy Bible for some 1500 years before the LORD said ENOUGH! He will NOT be mocked (not for too long, anyway).

Anyway, we when God originally inspired men to write His Word, it was God-breathed and inerrant. Nothing about that has changed (2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 17:17. If you accuse the Holy Bible of hating women, you must accuse God of hating women, for the Holy Bible has not, and will not change. (Matthew 5:18).

Modern feminist preachers like me have seen through this and are ready to guide you in how to follow Jesus in the right ways. We know how to get the right meaning out of the bible. It doesn't have to be hateful at all.

The only thing that makes sense is to join a feminist church and learn about how Jesus wanted you to treat women well and to respect people who are gay.

Feminism is a counterfeit solution to the real issue of the vanity and self-importance of women in a sinful society. Feminism is based in arrogance, and it is the opposite of the call to the True Christian™ woman to be a servant. The actions of the modern, militant feminists are geared to cause women to rise up and rebel against the order that God has given to mankind. As Brother Ekman explains,

The feminists want a Brave New World-like society, where the family doesn't exist and the big government raise our children. Everyone is required to have social "competence" and worship the global state. There are no universal facts, everything is contexts.

Feminists claim they want more freedom and security for women. But they deny womens right to live according to Bible and even the right to spank their own kids. And lesbian rape (which is twice as horrible as an ordinary rape) incidents are on the rise. My beautiful daughters are hands down more safe in the company of men than in the company of smelling short-haired dykes.

Feminists are also in bed with Big Pharma, which drug innocent children with insulin, zoloft, zopiklon and ritalina. The vaccine to their latest made-up disease, cervical cancer, is expected to bring in billions of dollar to fund tearing families apart.

Sincerely in Christ, Lukas

It's this bit: 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:"

Thanks for your condescension, btw, tho it's really not necessary.

Re: Aleska's Intro

If that is true, wow. That is wonderful, It seems that the mini bullying have stopped now, the posts haven't changed and my name haven't been changed again yet (in 2nd change now). Regarding your marrige, I wish you best of luck in your future endevorus.

Friend, there has been no "mini bullying." You say you don't despise God, and yet you speak as if you despise Him, everything He said, and everything He promotes as good and moral. By arguing with those who speak on His behalf (by sharing what He said in the Holy Bible), you are essentially calling God a liar and a scoundrel. What you think of as "mini bullying" is simply protecting the real victim here - Sweet Baby Jesus. Now, please stop whining all over another person's introduction thread, and simply say hello. That's good manners in civilized society.

Re: Aleska's Intro

Which corner of the Bible do you hold when you dip the entire thing in wite-out?

You just need to have a bit of discernment. God is obviously a God full of love and giving so He has to love people for how He made them.

I wouldn't expect someone who doesn't believe in Jesus to really understand the joy of thinking long and hard about our Lord and coming to understand which bits of the bible are truly accurate and which have been corrupted by hateful men.

A more feminist perspective makes the bits of the bible where Jesus loves women and shows that they should be treated with love and respect shine forth.

Re: Aleska's Intro

Don't tell me even you think Jesus hated gays? He loved everyone.
