That's how you deal with life, just make it all go away.

You guys should have started a new thread pages ago and not turned this one into a hog wallow.

Shtal,

It's all up to you.

Mondo Bongo..

Moons,


I do have a life, my honest true motives was to speak about word of God, when people reply to me with an ill-intent - I mostly reply to them with scriptures.
I' am human too like everybody and sometimes I' am very sharp with words when I see negative reactions against me.

Also, my recent posts about my death experience; I was sharing my story, but people made fun of that story which cause me to be sharp with them.
I feel my journey on this forum may come to end I' am not sure yet, not because I failed but this situation I see is very complex.

Shtal, Fear them not, " no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper". Why? Because there's a God that answereth by fire!

My observations:

I don't get involved with the religious discussions on this board, not because I'm not religious.

The reason I stay out is I have not seen one person declare that because of what they have read here they are now converted.

By the same token I have not seen one of the religious stalwarts declare they will no longer worship God because of what the anti-religious posters have said.

So in my opinion, in the end, nothing is accomplised by either side. So why even participate?

I do feel that they are well within their rights to start religious posts, and I'm glad Shtal started this thread as opposed to having this type of discussion on the WH thread.

Just my $.02.

Ninja, I agree. The internet preachers should just stick to their own threads. (Or if it were up to me, I'd ban them, no secret there! LOL)  Religious preaching turns many normally nice people into hatemongers.

I want the OT to be a friendly place, that's my  .02 cents.

 My reply..  Many seeds planted,thats why I participate.

Beetree once the seeds start to grow they are not hatemongers,unless of course you believe that people that speak up against sin,are hate mongers.  Im not having much luck with you,but I certainly could never hate you.    Oh I just had a beautifull vision in my minds eye.  I see you and your dogs walking through a beautifull pasture filled with the most glorious flowers man has ever seen.  Thats the new heavens and earth Beetrre,which Jesus planned from the creation of the world,for all those who believe.  I participate because I want to see you there,as well as moons and all the posters here.

I am fully persuaded that you cannot convince anyone in matters of faith. I engage, because I think the "christian" church has been a terrible example ti the world of the man Jesus Christ, and it is also my belief that the "chistian" church in America, for the most part, is unbiblical. When a person claims to be a Christian, they profess that they serve the God of Israel, and that the Holy Bible is the ultimate authority. Many casually lay claim to it, without ever even opening, much less studying, understanding, and truly applying it. This has made the body, in the greater sense, a hypocritical, ignorant, uneducated, idolatrous social club. When the time comes to share one's Chistiian faith with unbelievers, immediately the flood of hypocrisy fills the heads of those listening. The Gospel, as it was given to the body, should be available to any heart open to hearing it, free from the empty, anemic, and self centered counterfeit being peddled as Truth. You won't find me in the face of any unbeliever to berate or judge them. I will however, question the "christian", who peddles a membership card that is no more than an idea, marketed, sold, and maintained by man, and of no more eternal value than a McDonald's coffee club card with all the holes punched. Jesus' example speaks volumes in how He related to the world around Him. He was gentle and concerned with the unbeliever, and then deliberate and stern with the religious. It should be obvious to all where the real problem may be found.

If you fill a cup with pure water and then you decide to shake the cup - the water in the cup will still remain crystal clear, but if you put dirt in the cup, what happens? the water will turn dirty. But if you will let the cup sit for a while - all the dirt will go onto the buttom of the cup and the surface of the water will be clear again. But if you shake this same cup again all the dirt in the buttom of the cup will rise up and the water will be dirty again.

If you talk to any person and then you shake him with speech very hard and if the buttom of his cup is clear and no dirt found - then this person will remain clear.

Sometimes we meet people and they seem nice because the water in the cup is clear, but we don't know if their is dirt in the buttom of the cup, we will only find out after we shake the cup.

Also other version could be - if you mix nitroglycerin with pure water in the same cup, the cup will still look very pure until you shake it, nitro would explode in that cup. And sometimes when we meet people and they act one way but inside they are hypocrites and even when they shaken - they still appear righteous.
