Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22408148 I am NOT attacking you. I am not a troll. Just feel that I need to add a sense of sanity to your thread. OP, just remember, whenever you try to "get out of the game," the "game" always tries to pull you back in. I believe this AC isn't insincere, just mistaken. I don't want to "get out of the game". I just believe that the way Home is within each of us. No one can guide us, lead us or teach us the truth. We each must learn the Truth alone. The church, especially Christianity is about control. Control to guide you the way they wish you to go. To make you believe that you are not worthy of understanding God by yourself. To me, that is nothing but a form of slavery. Just my understanding. The choice is yours. And yours. (Note my tag line) Choose wisely. I always try to. I feel very comfortable with my choice. We will see who is right soon... Peace |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1127859 Today we have a high religion count, therefore today is low doom. I'm not so sure that hypothesis will stand up to analysis. It's more like the finite length of the front page can accommodate only so many threads, so threads on non-doom topics kick out less-read threads on doom topics. We become like that to which we are devoted. - Choose wisely. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20586262 United States08/22/2012 10:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1369739 yeah, I was ostracized at a previous job. Was kind to everyone, kept a Bible on my desk to read on breaks, never shoved anything down anyone's throat. Wore a big ole cross though cuz I like it - and....eventually got 'forced out' of the job. They hired a nutjob Wiccan (not a friendly one, a V-for Vendetta one), who told me all her problems, confided in me she'd previously been physically abused by her native American boyfriend - I always lent an ear. She said she felt ugly, I told her she was beautiful. I thought it was weird she told me all this stuff about herself but never ONCE asked anything about me or my family. After she gained my confidence she started lying about me to others. To this day, I have no idea what she said or what was going on. Like 2nd grade, everyone started avoiding me like the plague. She and her comrades destroyed my career. TOTALLY changed my entire life and my family's life. I had to take a mindless job and a HUGE paycut from which I was never able to catch up from - even 10 years later. I only know I was constantly made fun of - they were calling me a "prude" and a "old virgin" and lots of other things - my coworkers were partying at night without me and mocking me. They'd have birthday parties for each other, but never for me. It was so childish if it didn't have adult consequences. It was all surreal, and up until this summer had been the absolute WORST experience of my life. It was absolute hell. I had nightmares about them stalking me and ruining me everywhere I went. These nightmares still happen occassionally! People are very ignorant of God's Word today in this world. For instant, they don't know that if someone does you good and you r [ Sorry about that, I was just going to say that there's a bible verse that says if someone does you good and they repay you with evil, that evil will never leave their house. I would like to know what verse. Funny part was, I had probably partied more than most of them during my rebellious time - but came back to God. It wasn't anything I wanted to share, and frankly I didn't think it was any of their business. Anyway, the few times I tried to talk about my wild times, nobody believed me, so I gave up. That just wasn't part of how God wanted me to witness. Proverbs 17:13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. God is able to abundantly pardon your past. He will teach you how to witness. The biggest thing I would suggest for someone who wants to truly witness to people is to go study for about 14 years like Paul did. Lots of people are so called "witnessing" today and literally sending people into the demon filled churches after they witness to them. We will all be held accountable to what we tell people today. Lots of people are witnessing to people about Jesus Christ now and not saying anything to them about how these churches are false. They are leading people to Christ and sending them into the demon filled fallen away churches, how sad!!!!! If people do this, blood will be on their hands. |

| Frater User ID: 18312371 United States08/22/2012 11:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We should all try every day to improve ourselves more and more. The goal of life for all of us is to become Christ Like. To become a Christ means to become a mirror of the above, a reflection of God. That doesn't mean to become too mild, but rather have balanced compassion and empathy for everyone and understand we are all Brothers and Sisters and literally get to know God and all of creation. I know, thats a very tall task... God is Way AWESOME and every single thing in creation is of God and not a single thing exists without God.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22408148 United States08/22/2012 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How can you consider yourself a rebel for following Jesus when you are expected to follow the Ten Commandments, follow the King James Holy Bible, go to church each Sunday and to not sin? Is this not control? Is this not being led? How is this being a rebel? Maybe you are living in a fantasy world... I just don't understand how you view this level of control as acceptable... Thanks |
| XSlyOneX User ID: 1446631 United States08/22/2012 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's ridiculous... IF anything living like Christ is the opposite of being a rebel. You get to live your life here believing that once this life is over you get to live forever in a heavenly world. That's not being a rebel at all... I'm not saying one thing is true and the other isn't but man I know people who have followed Christianity their entire lives and not once do they ever say their life is the hard life... I'm so tired of Christians spewing out that they are constantly oppressed because that's BS. You want to say well look at the MSM shows and/or all the hate on forums like GLP against Christians... You want to know why that is? It's because people are angry that 1. You guys say your lifes are so hard when all you tout about is the eternal life you have been graced by Jesus Christ. 2. The constant act of being a Martyr. You want to feel real oppression? Go to Iran with your christian ways and american freedoms and see how people treat you there for a week. There you would be a real rebel. But here... no not at all I don't buy it. Ron Paul or Bust |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1394918  Spain08/22/2012 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So are you making a point that being righteous and kind is the true rebellion in this corrupt world of ours, even though it may not seem like the stereotype of rebellion? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11330901 ...or are you saying you act Christ-like simply because it's the "rebellious" thing to do and if everyone did it, you'd become a different type of rebel? Live like Christ because it's the right thing to do, not because it's popular OR unpopular. Of course... It isnt populat though..it would seem thats why its a spiritual rebellion..against the alleged programming that reportedly is trying to turn us into something quite unpleasant on many levels Glad to have folks like you still visiting sites like this. Regarding the quoted post above... this is a great video I highly recommend to everyone who stumbles on this post to watch it through.  Thank you |

| Keep2theCode User ID: 20545539 United States08/22/2012 11:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi there.  I lurk here but just wanted to drop in and say how refreshing it is to see this, not only here but anywhere. I see many misconceptions about the Christian faith, but having tried for decades to discuss them "in the trenches", I try now to just focus on the big picture and refer to my writings for details.So it's nice to see a thread where people are acting... civilized. [Saw some questions raised, but won't press the issue unless the questioners really want me to... or are just morbidly curious.]  |

Indeed all the things you mentioned above only appeals to external appearance, and while one can put a façade, you cannot fake what's within, and that's what really matters and where our battle is taking place. As long as person have elements of adamic man residing within one cannot ever be truly free. Christ came to show how to overcome, and now we have to walk the walk. Jesus was the rebel, but christ was not...we have to remember the journey it's about transformation from carnal adamic man to christ-like. I am almost done with putting away my carnal body and with it all it's desires and passions! |
