Just DON'T look at the replies - if it helps people then great, if not then no worries. It's reading the comments from the trolls that don't want to admit they are sinners and quite possibly chock-a-block full of demons. It gets depressing thinking that so many people will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and destroyed into nothing:( But, as I see it, I haven't stopped learning from the Bible and from Jesus' help (honest ideas that just *pop* into my head) - so I have to be very careful on spreading help - especially regarding Revelation as I constantly change my viewpoint on finding new evidence. All I can really do is tell people where we came from, why we are here now with sin, the fact that demons and satan are constantly tempting and accusing us, the fact that Jesus died on the cross and rose three days later and is the ONLY person that can save us from this sin-life and take us into our promised eternal life. I can't wait for a new earth with no pain or death - plenty of animals to play with and the whole earth FREE to roam. But if everybody else wants to enjoy the suffering of this life and NOT learn any truth, then so be it - God has basically given EVERYONE some type of access to a Bible and the Word of Jesus, and if so many people want to ignore that (especially for first world countries) then they will suffer the consequences of turning their backs to God. I could go on, but I better stop - was supposed to be a 'what's up' post. |

I can't say if we would agree on much of anything really, but it doesn't really matter to me. You are at least constantly SEEKING to understand, and that makes you OK by me. By seeking, you are pretty much guaranteed to find something in the end. My fiery sermon above was strictly directed towards people who think they know EVERYTHING - and are quick to curse everyone who have even the slightest different viewpoint to HELL! This attitude is not compassion. This attitude is not of Christ. They are sailing under false flag and don't even know it. Which is exactly what I'm trying to help them realize. Not that it ever succeeds! lol All I can really do is tell people where we came from, why we are here now with sin, the fact that demons and satan are constantly tempting and accusing us, the fact that Jesus died on the cross and rose three days later and is the ONLY person that can save us from this sin-life and take us into our promised eternal life.

I could go on, but I better stop - was supposed to be a 'what's up' post. I just hope your demon-filled worldview doesn't make you see demons where none exist. People who are honestly striving to reach God are not in league with demons, whether they are reading the same edition Bible as you, or any Bible at all for that matter. Jesus told another story worth contemplating for devout Christians, the one about the owner of a farm who hired farmhands to bring in his crops. *** The core of this story is that EVERY worker received the same award, regardless of if he had toiled hard in the fields from dusk to dawn, or if he just popped in two minutes before the work day ended and basically contributed nothing. The hard workers complained about the unfairness of this scheme, but the moral of the story was that the owner of the farm can do whatever he damn well pleases with his own money, and if that's not good enough for them, then piss off! *** -The owner of the farm is God. -The hard workers are devout Christians, who dedicate their entire lives to serving God. -The guy who slides in and reaps a reward "for nothing" is for instance an Atheist, or a New Ager, who never prayed a prayer or opened the Bible in his whole life. But nonetheless, when God made the call to come and collect the reward at the end of the work day, there he was, and he got "paid" (was allowed into God's Kingdom) just the same as everyone else who bothered to show up. The hard workers complaining about the perceived "injustice" are the devout Christians, who are quick to CURSE OTHERS TO HELL FOR NOT BEING WORTHY ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN HUMAN STANDARDS. Not enough Jesus chanting, not enough Bible reading, yada yada yada, the list goes on. Which makes God give them the ultimate ultimatum: accept MY STANDARDS, or you can go to hell, regardless of how hard you have worked! Can you see why cultivating a little compassion with the "bums" who seem so unworthy might actually be in a Christian's best interest? |

Will you then be found among those who step up to God's throne in triumph to receive their crowns from his hand? Quoting: Algorhythm *** Jesus told you a story about the wedding guests that didn't show up to the wedding, and how the groom was forced to go out in the streets and invite any old bum who would move his sorry ass for a free meal, just to fill the empty chairs. This groom obviously didn't give a damn about the finer qualifications of his guests, as long as they fucking show up and eat the food he has prepared for them! Will you then join Christ's wedding party as the deeply honored A-list guest you actually are, or will you stay outside in the shadows, cussing and cursing every "bum" who enters the gates, for being unworthy in your own judgmental eyes? Will you be found among those who follow the lead of Jesus and walk steadily in his footprints, finding their way to his doorstep, even as the bums did in the story? Or will you try to steal entrance to the tabernacle by grabbing hold of Jesus' coattails and chanting "Jesus, I love you!" as a magickal mantra, even though Jesus clearly said to such people "Go away, I never knew you!"? The only thing that should concern you, is if you are truly a wise virgin with oil in her lamp (a purified vessel capable of holding God's Fire), or if you are actually a foolish virgin with no oil in her lamp (an impure vessel uncapable of holding God's Fire). God doesn't demand anything from you apart from becoming a sufficiently wise virgin! He will fill every vessel with his Fire (Life) for free, as long as it is capable of receiving! Have you then followed Jesus' instructions and turned yourself into such a purified vessel by, I don't know, making at least a half-assed attempt to walk in his footsteps? Or do you think Jesus will do all your footwork for you, and transform you into a purified vessel as a reward for simply chanting his Earthly name over and over as if it was some kind of magickal incantation? In short, have you understood and heeded a single word that came over Jesus' lips? *** I ask you this, because I see many of you self-professed "Christians" who show by your actions you understand precious little of what Jesus showed you. In an act of COMPASSION (a supposed Christian trait, yo!), I sometimes reach out to one of you and try to help as best I can, even using your own language to make it easier for you to absorb. My sole reason for interacting with you this way, is a desire to help you find your way to the very wedding you have been waiting for for so long! I wouldn't want to see you "Christians" miss out on the greatest party since the laying of the foundation of the world! But I am met with nothing but deaf ears, verbal abuse in the form of general cussing, accusations of spreading demonic doctrines, being told to "repent", being cursed to HELL - and lately of course the occasional negative GLP Karma points! I am honestly getting tired of pouring out my Heart to deaf-eared so-called "Christians", who show none of the traits of Christ. Anyone who honestly seeks to follow the path of Christ and respects others who do the same in their own way are OK in my book, honored wedding guests and random stret bums alike! But if you wish to act like vicious hive-minded drones, unthinkingly repeating your particular clueless pastor's personal misinterpretation of his own cherry-picked lines from his own favorite Bible mistranslation, until the gates to God's Kingdom finally slams shut in your face, SO BE IT! If you just can not and will not for the love of God find it in you to share Jesus' simple compassion for the "bums", SO BE IT! In the future, when I see supposed "Christians" ply their unholy craft on GLP (rejecting the very essence of what Jesus taught while cursing those who actually seek to follow it), I will simply bump this thread and post a link to it. This is the final lifeline I am throwing to you people. I will not reply to any obstinate objections, because if you are truly uncapable of understanding anything of what has already been said above, you are a lost cause. "Wailing and gnashing of teeth" will be your lot when the party commences. The Bible says so, yo! See you at the party, beloved sisters and brothers! Or not. Your call. Great great great great...I love it 1 But these took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, 42 That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. 43 And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river. 44 For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over. 45 For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth. 46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come, :knoup: |

I m very new to this saved stuff but I want to be as on fire for God as I can. I just got finished listening to Romans and working my way the the new testament and everything in there is Gold. I never really opened or new any bible at all until 2months ago, but from what i have read and listened to so far is suffice to say everything you need to know is in there. EVERYTHING Also why i have not found or really looked for a christian church yet as my local is 30mins drive and a woman preacher, which from what i grasp that it is not for a Woman to be talking in church which i believe in in 1 Cor, so i won't be going there. What kind of church would it be if there is no anointing of the spirit so i get by the cherry piking lines also. Keep it up and i am tuned in YO! |
