Chelsea, did you go back and read this thread from the very first post? Scriptural evidence is provided throughout. God created everyone, but only false Christians believe that everything God created is good, or loved by Him. If you read the Bible, you will see that this is simply not true.

Start off by reading this thread from post #1, then please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't this passage in John's gospel contradict the belief that God doesn't love everything he created.

And this passage:
"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Genesis 1:31

Sure the fall of man has caused sin to enter the world, and we are not good as it says in Mark's gospel:
"And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." (Mark 10:18)

We are called to love our neighbour as thyself. Where does it say to treat only people without flaws as yourself? I'm pretty sure it was meant for all mankind. (unless your definition of mankind only allows white, "true christians")

Neighbor means fellow Bible-believing True Christian™. We True Christians™ are commanded to be seperate from unsaved people.

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

2nd 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?

A neighbor is part of your community (the True Christian™ community). If God had intended us to love everyone, even the unsaved, wouldn't the commandment be "love everyone as thyself"?

Are you saying God loves people in Hell? (If He does loves them, then why is He letting them be subject to torture for eternity?)

So we earn God's love by believing in him? So in other words we achieve salvation by our own accord and not through God choosing us before he created the whole world?

John 3:16 answers your question. We achieve salvation through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone. The Bible is the Word of God and Jesus attests that we must follow all of it (Matthew 4:4).

So do you accept Christ or not?

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

Of course I accept Christ.
I was just checking that we were on the same page. We just differ on the belief of that God loves everyone on this planet, sinner or saved.
I believe that God loves us that he gives us a choice to follow him or not. And if we choose not to follow him, he will be deeply saddened.
Just as any father would be saddened by the loss of any child.
How would you act if your child decided not to follow Christ? Would you still love them?

If any of my children where not True Christians™, I'd disown them and I'd question my parenting skills.:o

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

I would definitely not bully them into believing. I will raise them in a God loving environment. sure there is place for discipline, but to disown a child just because they do not believe?
Shouldn't we continue to express love to them that they may see God's love for them through us? rather than discriminating?

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

Yes i read it every day. And yes that I have read. And that I believe. BUT...
That still does not mean you disown your child, just because they do not believe in Jesus Christ.
How terrible it would be if they were to not follow Christ, but in the off chance... I would not agree with their actions, but would continue to show them love.

I would not be bullying. :innocent:

Just like God gave us free will, I allow that in my family too. Everyone is allowed to make thier own choices. But I remind them all choices have consequences. God is in our family. You abandon God, you have abandoned our family. Pretty simple stuff. :thumbsup:

You cannot have your cake and eat it too, young man. :nonono:

[Graphically violent pictures deleted]

Seriously, you people have absolutely got to be kidding me. You are the abominations. The things that you say here is not only despicable but downright disgusting. Preaching hate. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Then again, its not like anything that I say is going to change the opinion of you brain washed psychopaths. I hope that each and every one of you have a bunch of screwed up retarded children then I bet you will change your tunes quickly. Thats what I'm gonna pray for tonight.... Then again, good luck getting laid, bunch of goddamn losers...

Umm, well to put it simply I hate god because of twisted crazy people like you and all of your little racist, judgmental, bigot cronies on this message board. You all give Christianity a bad name. I do know one thing for sure. If there is a heaven and it is filled with people like all of you, then I'd rather not go there...

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

Why do you believe in that childish myth of the "Holocaust"? Why don't you wake up and realize that the Joos are just taking you for a ride and making you feel unnecessarily guilty?

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

Haha, did you really just say that the holocaust is a myth? Wow.... I guess I really don't even need to say anything. I think that pretty much speaks for itself. I'm sure you have scripture that supports the fact that the Holocaust is a "myth". Also, why did you block my pictures? I mean if the Holocaust never really happened then why take the pictures down? They have to be genuine right? How are the Holocaust pictures "graphically violent" if it never really happened? Seems counter-intuitive to me.

Re: HELP ME BAN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS !

The pictures were taken down because they were very graphic and offensive. It doesn't matter if they were photoshopped or not (which they were), it's still offensive to people. Usually only people who post holocaust pictures are 4chan trolls and I hope you're not one of them. <_<
