OK first off, I am a Christian, second, what the heck are you on?
lets look at what you have been saying, and lets take an old Jewish proverb to help with these things, "The only thing truer than truth, is my story"
I myself am dyslexic, I don't suffer from the most common symptoms, in fact, I suffer from some of the less known, i.e. SSS (Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, white paper and black writing for example plays hell with my head, as do florescent lighting). Now I am by no means lazy or retarded, in school people told me I needed to try harder when I was already trying as hard as I could, it actually upset me that people were putting in less effort and getting better results, I had never heard of dyslexia in my life, I hadn't heard of it until I was in year 10 at school, but every day I would have headaches and have lower results than everyone else, I would fall behind in reading and fail at spelling, the harder I tried, the more and worse the headaches became, I just couldn't win. Now the bible has no reference to dyslexia as at the time they didn't know about it, much like cars, and Jesus never mention a car, did he? during the start of my year 11 year I went and got screened for dyslexia, and low and behold, I AM DYSLEXIC! We went through the process with the colours and got lenses to be made, which I got 6 weeks later, since getting my lenses nearly 3 years ago now, my grades have improved dramatically, no drugs or other crap, just my lenses and a coloured overlay, these have stopped me getting headaches, stopped the symptoms that I suffered, my grades went through the roof, and essentially all my problems in education have mostly disappeared, my hand writing, is actually very hard to read, and has been all my life, hence I choose to use a laptop, which helps me quite a lot, now lets also look at the fact that Lone person said that Albert Einstein had dyslexia before it was discovered? Last time I checked, dyslexia was discovered in 1887, and Albert Einstein lived from 1879 until 1955, very much after it's discovery, and also look at the facts, Einstein was called a retard at school, yet he is one of the greatest scientific minds in history. Now onto your anti-Semitism, Jesus was a Jew, and the Jews are God's chosen people, and if it wasn't for the cross, then you wouldn't have the churches that you lead, you wouldn't have the freedom from sin and bondage, we would still be sacrificing lambs, etc. Also Catholics are Christians, as Catholic means universal, and all were 'Catholic' before Martin Luther split away and started the protestant movement (Please don't and try to argue these facts, I am a theology student, and I actually have done the research and have the evidence to back all of this up). Also give me a biblical reference in which Jesus says to hit people for being slightly, or quite, less well off than you? I believe Jesus calls us to love on people and not to hate, causing someone pain is not love. Now finally, mental health issues are actually a serious problem, my youth Pastor, who loved Jesus more than anything or anyone, suffer mental illnesses earlier this year, and subsequently committed suicide, so don't displace mental illnesses, they need to be addressed, and help needs to be provided, or else we lose more great people like my late youth Pastor.

[Zechariah Smyth]

Your youth "pastor" made a BIG mistake:

(1 Corinthians 3:16-17) "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

Oops.

Yours in Christ (NOT MARY),

[RiordanOwens]

Do you realise that verse is talking about the Holy Spirit? also God doesn't kill his people, the wrath of God was poured out when he sent Jesus to the cross, there is no more wrath, and more importantly, God would not have killed my Pastor, he was a great man, he feared God and loved him with all his heart, so don't go attacking those whom you don't know, and you should also remember that you should have respect for the dead

No, Paul is basically saying, "you yourself are the temple." Scratch that, it's exactly what he is saying.

Do I know you?

also God doesn't kill his people, the wrath of God was poured out when he sent Jesus to the cross, there is no more wrath,

Matthew 13:40-42
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.


Luke 12:4-5
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Hebrews 10:30-31
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


Hebrews 12:28-29
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29For our God is a consuming fire.

Revelation 19:15-16
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

you should also remember that you should have respect for the dead

Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

[Dr Laurence Niles]

Please don't and try to argue these facts, I am a theology student, and I actually have done the research and have the evidence to back all of this up

Please show how these 'facts' are in any way appropos to your point You are also engaging in a self referential Arguement from Authority.

[lukasekman]

Well, none of my kids are possessed by dyslexia, so I have no personal experience. So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with my little theory:

Dyslexia is a demonic possession, where the demon randomly shuffle adjacent letters. In addition, it also reduce the memory available for visualizing letters by 31.25% or greater (up to 70% in severe cases). It works basically the same as pre-installed bloatware and other malware slows down an PC.

TL;DR

You lot are all crazy and clearly don't know what your on about. Dyslexia has nothing to do with daemons, it is a heretitry dysfunction in the brain where the signals don't travel to the back of the brain from the eyes at the same speed and thus the messages are screwed up. And you lot can't even make up your minds on it, is it laziness or is it a deamon possession? Also I never said I was an A+ student, I simply said after getting my lenses my grades improved.

What difference does it make? Both the lazy and the possessed will burn in Hell! They just need to stop with their Dyslexia drugs, get a bath and get a job!

Glasses are also for lazy people

[Anna-Louise]

This is untrue, as a Christian and someone with dyslexia it is not "An Excuse for being Lazy". Since I was young I always remember it was difficult for me to spell well and read. I never understood why other people could understand and work as fast as my friends. I'm not going to share my whole life story but this is an untrue statement.


My family and a lot of my friends have Dyslexia. You obviously don't have dyslexia as you don't have an understanding heart towards those who do. Accept that people have learning difficulties please but people with Dyslexia are not "retarded". A lot of people are very smart that also have learning difficulties.

I actually had never heard of Dyslexia until I was in High School. So it wasn't something I was told and just believed I had it. I ALWAYS had this difficulty, and it is not something made up or an "Excuse to be Lazy".

Dyslexia goes way back in history so it wasn't something someone or science decided to make up. I am not embarrassed to have it and it opens your eyes to other people. It humbles you and for me it makes me so much more thankful. I thank God for it because of this.

[I Man Rastafari]

Greetings Anna Louise. This is a forum where Christians gather for fellowship. They are white people and Baptist. I am not a Baptist or a white man but I often participate here as part of my study of white people in Babylon. I myself am from Jamaica though I am currently a student in Wisconsin. I am not certain where Dyslexia is but I believe it to be in Eastern Europe. Is your country a white country or more Italian in nature?

[Mary Etheldreda]

No it doesn't. It makes you lazy and addicted to things like cough syrup and pez candy. That's humiliating, in case you didn't figure that out.

[Sister Truth]

Perhaps "dyslexics" are using this as an excuse to not read God's Holy Word and continue on with their wicked, libtard, homersexual lifestyle?

[GoldenShower]

Dyxlexia is a widely known about condition that, if managed properly can actually enhance a person's intelligence and ability to do their job well.

Young miss, who do you think you are coming in here and presenting your opinions without even a hint of proof? You defend the sin of dyslexisism because you're guilty of it yourself. Where is your introduction thread, with your story of why you spit in Baby Jesus' face?

[Alvin Moss]

Ah ha! A retard! I knew there was something wrong with this one. He's rude, too. He has been requested to make an introduction, but he has not. He is an Englishman and a know it all atheist.

Hell awaits the unsaved, fellow. Best get right with Jesus and quick.

[GoldenShower]

how can a condition you are born with be a sin? Surely that is against your bible as it means that 'god' created somebody a sinner and therefore had a pass to hell without even having a life. Have a look at the science behind this sort of thing before you attribute it to a supernatural creator

[Didymus Much]

And let's see what the Bible actually says, shall we?

Proverbs 16:4 "The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."

Deuteronomy 23:2 "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD."

Numbers 14:18 "The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation."

How about learning the truth about something before you criticize it? Helps to keep you from looking like an idiot.
