    confused.................

    I have this friend, known him long time, always thought he was smart. We grew up together. At age 22 he left Fort Payne to go to New York and got a good job as a financal advisor.

    Now on the side he's doing this thing he calls 'futurist' where he predicts the future.

    I don't agree with him on lotso f thing these days since he's lost his morals. But I respect him as my friend.

    He says, in the future, religion will be "obsolete". And he says acceptance of all cultures is a sign of intelligence.

    How can this be true?

    What do I tell him?

    Hey thanks for that baggage!

    I'm sure your friend is very confused, as are you.

    Why not tell us about yourself, what's your favorite Bible verse? Where do you attend church? What significant event brought you to Jesus?

    Yours in Him

    Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

      Tell him the Bible is true and to quit dabbling in satanic arts or Jesus is going to throw him into hell forever.

      Easy.

      Now what about you? What church do you attend? What is your favorite Bible verse? How did you come to find Jesus?
      Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

        Hello PraiseTheLawd.

        There are some parts of the Bible that say do not be a fortune teller but the word it uses is divination I do not have it marked with a Post-It note.

        Are you a black woman I have a colored girl who works for me she says Lawd instead of Lord do not believe the rumors you hear about us.

        Thank you.

          First Baptist Church of Fort Wayne. I am not normally confused but am wondering how to show him the truth. I actually respect him and I know he is smartert han me, always has been, so I don't want to get into a discussion to try to prove him wrong. Just want to bring him to the nderstanding I feel every time I look at the mirror and feel God within me.

          I used to be addiction to medication, couple years ago, and now I am clean thank the Lord. I just do not know how to share to some people, as they are not receptive. But I want to share with them the joy I feel now. I want them to feel it. I know they don't.

            Hopefully someone with more experience can answer this question for you friend, but to me it sounds like this friend of yours has been watching to many harry pothead movies, He probably walks around the streets of NY in a witches hat begging for loose change to feed his crack addiction.

            what you could do to see if your friend is actually a witch is lure him to a tall building and push him off, If he starts flying and laughing in a maniacal matter you my friend have a witch on the loose, you better get a can of gasoline and a torch.

            Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

            In all honesty if you cant force your friend to turn to Christ, you'd be better of forgetting he ever existed because some people dont wont to be saved, You should focus on your believes and devote your time to our one True God, Not to some crack head living in New York


            Your Brother in christ,

            sam

            p.s this is the in introduction thread, so maybe try introducing yourself
            Ezekiel 25:17. And I will strike
            down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!

                We don't think Godmocking is very funny

                Exodus 20:7
                Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

                  First of all, you must forget him since he is now using crystals and other forms of divination to make himself rich in the eyes of man. I assure you he is poor in the eyes of a just God. Your friend and I have some things in common. Years ago I too lived in Fort Wayne and moved to New York City. Luckily I did not turn to the devil for my livelihood. I have a book entitled "Wall Street Guide to Dealing with Baptists." They give this book to newbies on Wall Street, according to a friend of mine that left the Wall Streeters and became a blood-washed believer. In it, it says: "Leave behind your Christian friends and revel in your new found god, the almighty dollar."

                  I think that line is enough to prove he's doomed to a life of demon worship and most likely hangs out near my favorite bar on Christopher Street. I mean, it wasn't like MY favorite, but I'm sure it was someone's favorite. But not mine.
