| I truly belive in my heart, that beating the heck out of people only leads them away from God. The price paid for these crimes, will be greater than any Hell we can imagine. Leading one sheep to God... does not justify leading 20 away. Take your holier than thou behavior and just get the heck out of the way! Your behavior will be viewed worse than murder. I say these things with love, because I care about each and everyone of you. ![]()

Thought Christians were about spreading peace, and love. not endlessly spewing HATE!

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? (Galatians 4:16) Hmmm...I am curious to understand why you would use the following as your tagline: The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places. ~Ernest Hemingway Do you realize that the Truth of God does in-fact become offensive to those who are in disagreement? Thus, the Word of Truth breaks the spirit and afterwards many are saved because of the brokeness: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Psalm 51:17) Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. (Proverbs 27:6) I believe that some who deny the Deity of Christ and are "offended" in the way we respond to their criticism and ridicule will one day realize that our words were the "Faithful Wounds" of a friend - as they are definitely not the politically correct kisses of a deceitful enemy.

Do you believe that Jesus is the "spirit brother of Satan" as the Mormons teach? | |

AND as a reminder.. don't CHRISTIANS believe we are all sons and daughters of God, so in fact we are all Christ's siblings, why many have the habit of calling each other 'Brother' and 'Sister'? Did God not creat EVERYTHING?? The heavans, earth, us? Would Satan NOT be included in EVERYTHING?? You are just too ignorant to look beyond what you've been told and taught, and too filled with hate to open your eyes. But that's alright, Mormons also believe before you are cast out that after you die you have ONE more chance for acceptance of the truth and belief in God.. Pretty compassionate God THEY have eh?

Yes, of course the Holy Bible states that mankind is part of the Creation of God but remember that because of disobedience mankind has become separated from God. Regarding the human race we can all call ourselves "brothers and sisters" but in the spiritual sense we are either born-again of the spirit and reconciled with God or spiritually dead in our sin and continue being separated from God. That is your choice. It is through human defiance against God from Adam and Eve's actions that mankind has become a child of this world that is influenced by Satan and not a partaker of God's Kingdom until there is a reconciliation through God's Plan of Salvation. Thus, the reason why The Holy Bible differentiates between two kinds of people on earth as mentioned in one of Jesus' parables: "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.." (Matthew 13:38) And in the New Testament writings of (1 John:1-11) the comparison continues to be made regarding the two kinds of people on earth: 1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11: For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. | |

So your church interprets the New Testament different than the Mormons.. Just as you believe the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are one.. while most other Christian religions believe they are three different entities, spritits or beings.. it's a different interpretation. No more wrong or right then any ohter. NO need to come and say they are WRONG because they believe differently than you or I do.. just different.. To say they are WRONG because they don't believe what I believe is a form of hate and bigotry. And doing so is not love of your fellow man, or trying to save your fellow man, as history shows, difference's of opinon about religion are likely to cause death of many "different believers" even though they are Christians.. and then to say who are or aren't Christian, makes the vile words even more dangerous. How many MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of people have died due to different beliefs.. or just different interpretations?? Kind of silly in the big picture isn't it??

Kain started this thread with a negative comment saying final warning; listen up, blah blah blah…. And frankly, that puts people’s asses on their backs thinking, who the hell does she think she is? She is saying everyone else’s way is wrong and no, it isn’t. Just this is another way to reach people and isn’t that what it really is all about? Only Casting Crowns has 3-4 minutes to convey that message. When I was 9 years old, my great grandmother sat me down and said, Jesus died for all of our sins so that we may have ever lasting life. I had been extremely ill prior to that and just knew I wasn't ever alone, but after that, there were times in my life I doubted and I found those were the times I was slowed down and really messed up. We are all told to have faith like a child but as we get older, we do tend to question, pick apart, strap ourself to little words here and there that do slow us down, when all we need to know is that it is Jesus. Maybe, Santa will slip you this CD and maybe even Lifesong in your stocking. This isn't one of my favorite songs, but all their CD's are really incredible.
