Jesus is either the biggest fraud in history or He is exactly who He claims to be.

I understand - but he's not trying to start arguments, he's trying to reach people who need the messages he posts. No need to respond, is there?

As you stated above, this topic is a neverending battle. He knows that. His message is always the same. No need to repost, is there?

Someone has said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting the results to change.

I agree.

I agree.

So then the right answer for you is, Ignore.

Correct. Just like the instructions given to me about finding "chit chat" to be not my style. "Change the station, turn it off"

That simple, really.

Yes. I missed the other ones.

My point is that you have to give credit where credit is due. You ask that the "arguers" not discuss the topic, however the thread starter, who knows that there will be a discussion that will turn heated (because not everyone wishes to ignore) starts the thread. So yes, the arguers, should ignore the thread, but also, the thread starter, should expect that type of response, as history tends to repeat itself. This is why we live in America...if someone wishes to say "hey, you know what, I think you're being really harsh", then that's okay, and someone else can say "No, I really don't think I am, maybe you misunderstand me" and so on and so forth.

He wants us to argue. The more of us who argue, the more chances he gets to spread the word.

Didn't Paul murder someone too out of jelousy or something :shrug:

How can someone that has claimed to have read the Bible and studied Theology ask such a stupid question.
There is no way you could have possibly read the New Testament and not know what Paul done

A: Do you play stupid for attention ?
B: Do you have a problem comprehending what you read ?
C: Do you just like to hear yourself talk ?
D: All of the above ?

 

[Common Sense]

I want you to know that I post what I post because I love people, not because I hate them.

I don't believe we've met

Common Sense MPD.

I have far more common sense than most. Sorry that you don't see it.

 

[2ndAmendment]

Thanks all those that have given me red. You prove that I am doing what the Lord expects of me and not yeilding to what the world wants me to do.

May you all find Jesus as Lord and Savior before it is too late.

Are you saying I'm hell bound if I don't, or are you saying the Bible says I'm hell bound?

And for the record, I haven't given you any karma on this thread.

 

[Midnightrider]

There's a difference, in my view, between a belief and a fact. I believe the Bible is a book of facts

the difference is that you believe your beliefs are facts

 

[2ndAmendment]

Are you saying I'm hell bound if I don't, or are you saying the Bible says I'm hell bound?

The "you" referred to those giving me red. I don't know where you stand with Jesus or repentance. That is between you and God.

I don't condemn individuals. The various sinful acts are in the Bible. The Bible is God's users' manual for life; the ultimate instruction book. All I do is post what the Bible says and hope people take action in their own lives. I would love it if everyone on SOMD and in the world agreed with what is in the Bible. I could quit taking all the heart ache from those that hate what I post.

I don't think its so much the "what" you post but more so the"how" you post it

I don't think it's that people hate the fact you choose to believe in God and the Bible. I think it's that you portray yourself as almighty, judgemental and condemning in some of your posts about your beliefs.

yeah, nomo I agree.... this attitude is what is pushing most away.

God gives each of His people a mission if they will accept it. Some preach to the choir so they can get "Amens". I often post the harsh Truth. I don't do so to hurt or judge. I do so because many people go to church every Sunday and do not have a personal relationship with God. Some people pray and wonder why it seems God is not listening. He is always listening. He answers His children and those seeking to be His child. All I am trying to do is shake the sleepers into waking up.

But you do so in a judgemental manner ... and I know I'm not the first to say that. And it's not your "charge" by God to be judgemental.
