I am not your enemy, nor will I ever be. Nothing you can say will bend me to that point. YOur words below.... Little Star...hit and run? What do you want out of me? I made my statement in teh OP and title of the thread. I need do nothing else but sit back and let 'christians' show up to prove me right. If that's 'hit and run' then guilty as charged! I can play the game too. See you said Christians to show up and prove me right. I have not proved nothing to you. If I did you would agree that I agree with you in your statement. You have come across a real Christian who does not care what others think of me. You also know what I mean by hit and run. Your playing word games. I said hit and run by " not proving your words with facts is what I said". But lets see how well you can twist that. Like I said, I have a prediction and that is that you will never back up your love for satan and your love for God as you have presented it. I said as you have presented it. I said it twice so you cannot twist my words.. Oh, by the way, I like it how you do it also, real cleaver, it shows you do have some smarts.. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1575 01/16/2006 08:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Little Star...I wholly agree that we should be gentle with one another. But I am a mere human and I fail at times. Like now." Arrogance is a part of the natural man, and thus, the natural man is prideful, vain and rebellious. However, there is a major difference between arrogance (a prideful state) and surity (experiential knowledge). Most of the self-professing Christians have no idea of what CHRIST taught, nor of HIS Walk. They think that just an emotional belief is all that is needed, a mental acquiesce is all one needs. They dont know that we are to die to self (ego, selfwill, vanity) and to let YHWH change our hearts through spiritual circumcision. But we also must remember, that although the world places self-professing Christians on a higher platform, and watches them more intently so as to determine whether or not the Christian lives up to the measure of standard (CHRIST JESUS being that measure of standard) set forth, that we too are still caged in our mortal, sinful flesh. Although Christians should indeed follow (imitate) that measure of standard exemplied for us (CHRIST JESUS in the flesh), many fail to do so, because as has been stated, like human's aging through time, from infanthood to maturity, so too does the Christian walk, and often times, because of the cares of this world, gets caught in a stage of growth, and refuses (or deems themselves incapable) of going any further. I guess my question back to Monty and others who are so opposed to Christians is...Why do you place Christian's on a higher platform, expecting them to be perfect, demanding they be sinless, and denying they are human beings just as you are? That they are fallible, and are still able to fall along the way? As for self-professing Christians, indeed, I hold my Brothers and Sisters up to a higher standard than non-believers of CHRIST JESUS and YHWH. I do so, because we are Commanded to do so, and because we are to be fashioned as a new creation, a light to the world, and the salt of the earth. I too expect to be held to a higher standard than the worlds ways, and if I stumble, if I fall, if I fail in my duty, I too should be rebuked, corrected, and given edification. A man does not know he has sinned (committed error) or is in a state of delusion if it is not revealed, because we all have tendencies to think more highly of ourselves than we do others, and to think ourselves more righteous than we think of others. This is one area of the church that definitely needs to be confronted. |

Why why is Monty such a hate? Come on Monty, prove them wrong for me. I have been kind, and gentle with you. Does that bother you? Question for you Monty: Who in this world has hurt you so much that you feel its okay to strike out at others? Is it really worth it to have all the pain that you are showing? Am I getting to close and you push me away next? Sorry my friend, I hear your pain and I know where your coming from. I have been in your shoes before. I have bashed enough Christians to last ten life times. May God have mercy on my soul for doing so. I am going to pray for you Monty even if I think it might offend you. Your a child of God, whom ever you believe it might be. I have seen lots of wisdom in this world, and sometimes I get shown that there is lots of stupidity too. If a person goes all there life nailing people to the wall, who shall walk with Him when he is finished? blessings to you |

| SHEEP User ID: 53850 01/16/2006 08:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yet another thread about Christians. This time arrogant. Religious kooks, dogma inserting, blind, intolerant, blah, blah, blah. Usually I take the time to read through the thread to get caught up, but that hardly seems to matter. So, I have to admit I didn't bother. I am Christian. What do you want from me? I believe in Jesus Christ. Should I keep it my little secret? Would you all be happy then? Maybe I should just go away. Endless pages of OPINIONS. New age, left wing, right wing, racist, navel gazing, crystal ball staring, atheistic, agnostic, political, apolitical, non-political, communist, fascist, republican, democratic, OPINIONS. When I get uptight I sing: Jesus loves me this I know For the bible tells me so Little ones to Him belong I am weak, but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The bible tells me so. That's my OPINION. Thankyou and goodnight.

Should I keep it my little secret? Would you all be happy then? Maybe I should just go away." SHEEP, No, do not go away, do not keep it a secret of the Saving Grace of YHWH! Be a light to the nations, be the salt of the earth, and let YHWH'S SPIRIT shine fordont_use_thisife in ALL your conversations (thoughts, words and deeds)! I expect nothing more from you than I would expect of myself. I even hold myself to a higher standard than I hold others. My family and friends say I am a perfectionist of sorts, being more focused on my own shortcomings than of anyone elses (the mote in my own eye is larger than a 1000 ton barge). Yes, when I do wrong, and I know I've done wrong, it paigns me to know that it might have caused even the slightest discomfort towards anyone else. But what paigns me even more is to know that I have disappointed the ONE Who gave HIS Life for me. You see, I cherish JESUS so much so, that the thought of spitting in HIS Face, slapping HIM, kicking dirt at HIM breaks my heart, and every time I fail, and do not repent of it immediately, it is as if I have done the above right to HIM. As David said, "I am chief among sinners", because I know better, I know what is expected of me, and still, I am caged in this mortal, sinful flesh, and still fall short of YHWH'S Blessed Glory! That which I desire to do, I do not; that which I do not want to do, I do...paraphrased from the words of Paul. ---------------------------------- Blessings to you little star. The Glory belongs to YHWH! I am only as the clay. |

There's a reason God led you to post here at GLP. I always love reading your comments, and I know there are others like me. There have been threads I've bookmarked so that I could go back and review your posts for the purpose of having Bible studies based on your comments and the scriptures you posted. You're far ahead of me on many teachings pertaining to the Bible. I'm only just beginning to find the hidden manna. It's even harder for me to find people who believe as I do where I live, because I reside in a predominantly Catholic nation. I have to go online to find people to talk to. |

I'm just trying to ascertain what this is all about. What would bring a modicum of peace to GLP. I won't back down from what I believe, just as others who don't agree with me won't back down from what they believe. Why does that make me arrogant? Because I believe in Jesus Christ? I don't get it. Where the eagle glides ascending There's an ancient river bending Down the timeless gorge of changes Where sleeplessness awaits. |

Yehova murdered so many egyptians that many deceived christians still agree in killing moslems cause their beliefs fuehrer did the same. It is that old conflict what was brainwashed into mankind to be right what makes me think they are all nuts cause they still believe that false dogma only cause they don't use their own heart for thinking. Yes you have read that right: It's the heart which knows the truth and not the brain. I am here to challenge your indoctrinated false belief that flaming queens don't use shovels ... |

SHEEP, I get it, but I dont know if I can explain it, without hurting the sensibilities of others. When trying to explain some things, I do not speak as man speaks, but I have been given a spirit of bluntness, boldness, and some see that as condescending, which it is not meant to be. There is only one thing that is not "tolerated" in our world today, and it isnt "churchianity", but True Christianity, which has no time nor patience for compromise. So when one states that JESUS is the ONLY Way, the ONLY Truth, and the ONLY Life...and no one can go to YHWH but through HIM, the world sees that as a "my god is better than your god" arrogance that is to be drowned out by cries of hypocrisy, intolerance and condemnation. So the only way they can attempt to quiet those they are opposed to is to begin nitpicking at every error, every word, and around every corner, so as to intimidate the Believer into silence. But the world is very much tolerant of the compromising Christian that says all religions are the same, that there are many ways, and that no one holds the Truth. Did I offend anyone's sensibilities? If so, take it up with CHRIST JESUS, because as HE said, HE spoke what was given HIM to speak, and I follow the example of my LORD. |
