Re: Maybe next time my attempted troll will be more believable

Endofdays, Hey fella, you're walking on thin ice. If you knew what was best for you you would not even consider hell as an option. Do you realize you're on a fast track there with no escape once admitted? May God show you mercy but at the rate you're going I wouldn't count on it. Have fun burning you filthy sinner- you certainly deserve it.

Re: Maybe next time my attempted troll will be more believable

I do read it but only during my daily defecations.

Some parts of it are cute like Jonahs whale and Noahs ark but other parts are just twisted like Lot throwing his daughters to be raped and dashing babies against rocks to feel happiness.

This is why I am OK with going to hell because I've lost respect for Jesus, why is he such a coward and so bashful- he needs to come forth and say here I am. The whole part of faith and not works is also a joke. Maybe if I can get right on my deathbed I can make it into heaven but I'm willing to take my chances. Shoot, hell can't be that much worse than life is now.

Read the Bible (the whole thing) and your doubts will disappear.

Re: Maybe next time my attempted troll will be more believable

Mitza- if gods creation was perfect(which I agree it was) then why did he feel the need to kill off creation with a flood? Kittens and pregnant mothers died that day. Now just how is that just. Sometimes I feel as if God has a sadistic, twisted that that derives pleasure watching us suffer.

My doubts of his love for us are bubbling over and I'm starting to resent him. I don't want to feel that way towards him but how can something sacrifice his own son and enjoy the smell of burning flesh. Just think about that- burning flesh is pleasing to our Gods nostrils...

Re: Maybe this time...

I'm going for a walk to think about all of this and clear my head. To be honest I'm feeling a bit discouraged right now and quite frankly feelings are resurfacing of why I decided I would rather go to hell than spend eternity in heaven with christians. I've walked the dark side and the light and the dark is way more accepting and FUN. If God made me to burn then so be it- I will accept my fate like a man because closed minded christians for eternity sounds more hellish than anything I could encounter in hell.

Sorry, I had to vent- I will keep trying to live for the Lord but I feel so discouraged...

I must address this at once. Christians do not have a "dark side" indeed no-one does. It is a psychosocial status. Satan invented it. Satan makes it seem real.

God's creation was perfect. GENESIS 1:31 context Something happened to make it poisonous. Compare this to a spiderbite. Say I get bitten by a spider. Molecular analysis of my corpse would reveal reveal neurotoxins. Does that mean I was a poisonous thing? Of course not. The toxins were something that had been introduced. Indeed, they had killed me. And so it is with this "dark side" of pop psychology. Let's check out God's take on this:

I Corinthians 15
56a The sting of death is sin

I John 1
5b God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Remember how we were made in God's image? There was therefore no darkness in us at all. Then something happened. Satan happened: toxic, putrid and dark. When exploring satanic realms, the basement breakfast bar, rear of any disused buildings in your area, hanging around docks at 3 o'clock in the morning on toadstools or lurking–in–mall wearing a fluorescent onesie: that is you envenomed. Less alive. God calls you to be more alive. He explains it this way:

John 10
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

So which would you rather be? You as God intended, a sheep cared for by The Good Shepherd? Or an explorer of "the dark side" namely, of the venom within you and the psychosocial status it develops for your cronies to admire the more you sin. To do "both" is to mock God and to blaspheme against The Holy Gost who pleads for you with moanings beyond our comprehension. If there were no reason for Him to do so you might as well say there is no Holy Ghost, no Jesus (after all in your delusion if The Bible is wrong about homosexuality why should it right about Jesus?), no possibility of (or need for) Salvation and—since this "dark side" is a part of our innate nature deriving from mid-brain function or reflexive responses honed over billions of years of evolution—no dark side either since it would just be a function of the preconscious mind monkey see monkey do you were born with. Your mother's voice in utero having ensured that you were programmed with all her fancies spoken aloud.

The Bible answers these questions, full context here:

from Genesis
from I Corinthians
from John
from I John

God is explicit here:

III John 1
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

In any exploration of "the dark side" how would you define that which is evil? If your "psychosocial counterpart sought to explore" some "compatible dark side" would that be evil?

I hope that is helpful.

Re: Maybe next time my attempted troll will be more believable

It's funny, I get the impression that if I do go to hell the majority of christians will consider it true justice. To be honest I don't even want to live eternally, I just want to sleep peacefully. I might as well not even try to be a christian because God must know my true motive is fear of hell- not a desire to go to heaven. To be honest your music sucks, church is boring, you always need money and your potlucks aint all that good. Oh, one last thing- you preachers, your daughters really are freaks in the sheets.

This is how you really feel. Feels good to finally just come out and admit you hate Jesus, no?

Sometimes my anger gets the best of me and I say things I don't mean. I've asked forgiveness for what I typed and now I am here to apologize. I just get so frustrated at times at the way life is these days and feel hopeless. I will watch my tongue and try to be more positive. I'm angry and resentful that I was raised in a non christian home and feel like I missed out on so much growing up and into early adulthood. To this day my mom is still an atheist and won't even consider christianity. She thinks I'm crazy for being a christian and it's tearing the family apart.

No. What you mean is that you WISH you regretted what you typed (above) and wish you really wanted Jesus, but instead, you know you don't. So you boil over inside at your unwillingness to surrender to Jesus' Marvelous Sacrifice™.

Sometimes Jesus calls us out even when we think we are following him (see Mark 8:31-33). Sounds like you are a house divided. Therefore, you cannot stand (Mark 3:20-27; Luke 11:14-23).

Wow- I'm on this forum less than a day and I receive two infractions for just being myself!?!? And then to label me as unsaved trash when I've been trying so hard to live for God!! You christians these days are worse than I remember.

No offense to any christians here... but I do not like christianity for this very reason..

I realize you guys mean well but show some compassion like your christ shows. How is handing out infractions going to win the lost? Please, if any pastors read this reach out to the flock and set them straight. we are to love one another as he loved us..The world persecutes us christians enough as it is, us brothers and sisters ic christ need to stick together and build eachother up!! I'm sure that the pastors here will agree with me- PLEASE pastor ED, Ezekiel and Issac- remember me are Gods children and we all bleed the same

You are not acting like a Child of God at all, just a whining, simpering, conflicted homer. Stop whining and repent...

Revelation 3:19: As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Re: Maybe next time my attempted troll will be more believable

Jesus in a nutshell: "Do exactly as I tell you or suffer the consequences".

That's compassion?

Yes, yes it is! Jesus loves you and wants you to end your sinning ways. He loves you so much that he temporarily died for your sins. That's compassion for you right there.

Re: Maybe next time my attempted troll will be more believable

BIBLE. READ IT.

Seriously, read the Gospels you're so fond of misrepresenting. See how much of the time Jesus spends telling EVERYONE (including His mother) how they're doing pretty much EVERYTHING wrong. Frankly, from the amount of sarcasm, ridicule and abuse He throws their way, you'd think He picked His disciples for comic relief.

Did you think JESUS was joking?

Luke 14:26

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Matthew 10:34

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

If ANY of your so-called family does not belong to JESUS, then they deserve (in your heart) nothing but GOD's ratified hate.

PRAISE THE LORD!

Some quick reflections for you:

1. If you do go to hell, then GOD has sent you to hell, GOD is your sole rightful owner, disobey HIS rules and it is the most perfect of justices that you end up in hell. You only have to make sure that you have behaved in such a way that you are given to JESUS.

John 6:39

And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

If on the other hand you spit on sweet JESUS you may forget any good night sleep, then you're satan's and he'll go medieval on your sensitive parts just on general principle.

I might as well not even try to be a christian because God must know my true motive is fear of hell- not a desire to go to heaven.

Fear of hell is GOOD!, That's the proof of GOD's generosity, a fool's proof guide to salvation don't do X this will end you ALWAYS in hell. Even a dimwit can get the rules and follow them, and any concerned TRUE CHRISTIAN can add a rod to a proper education to make sure it get into ANYONE's skull. Only twisted hell-bent sinners choose that path (even YOU know the way and the pitfalls).

To be honest your music sucks, church is boring, you always need money and your potlucks aint all that good. Oh, one last thing- you preachers, your daughters really are freaks in the sheets.

Well, this doesn't read well as something from somebody truly seeking salvation. Your insults we cherish because they only make our faith stronger, but your pride and disdain for GOD's gift will surely be your downfall if you don't repent and make amends.

BTW, we don't care where in hell you end up, it's only up to JESUS and you, but we have the obligation to rebuke you on your errors.

In the unlikely case of your sins being cleaned by the blood of JESUS, I will rejoice for then you'll be my brother in CHRIST, until then accept my disdain for your sinful attitude.

PRAISE THE LORD!

P.S. And drop your "pimp my god" idea, GOD is like a Ford T, "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.", So if it's not the Full KJV 1611 GOD you ain't getting it.
