sorry "the point" is for you, can't you "see"? now Our Father HE knows!!!!!!! Everything!!!!!!! and those who have died to "I"? all we "know" is, "I" know nothing, "I" can do nothing, "I" must die |--| ! just as The Messiah we but desire to receive of Our Father! The Messiah testified: "As The Only True GOD sent Me so send i you"........" "The words i speak are not my words, they "are the words of Our Father WHO sent Me"....... "The works i do are not my works, they are the works of Our Father WHO sent Me"....... The Messiah testified: "I can do nothing of mine own self".......period....... "The Messiah was a servant of The Only True GOD"....... and the teachings and The Life example of The Messiah revealed The Way to The Truth of The Life....... simply, "Father, not my("I") will, But THY Will Be Done".......period....... and while there is breath(spirit) there is hope! hope that the ""eye" of your understanding would be opened"....... peace, even as war(spiritual and carnal) rages....... francisco http://ASpiritualJourney.Org
"reading the "bible""? the "strong meat" of discernment, that is the desire of my heart....... and Our Father, HE is Faithfull, HE provides "strong meat". such is needful to grow upward, to learn of HIM....... may we but "Wait upon Our Father", "letting patience have her perfect work"....... Father Help! and HE does....... peace, even as war(spiritual and carnal) rages....... francisco http://ASpiritualJourney.Org
And this "strong meat of discerment", it causes you to see a threat where none was intended? It causes you to ignore questions asked and give opinions unasked for? Does it ever allow you to give a straight answer to a simple question?
"threat", why do you feel threatened? "ignore", there is much to be ignored. The Messiah revealed that....... "opinions", none given, only that which has been received....... "simplicity" is "Father, not my will, But THY Will Be Done"....... may you receive simplicity! while there is breath(spirit) there is hope! hope that you would receive of Our Father! Father Help! and HE does....... peace, even as war rages....... francisco http://ASpiritualJourney.Org
with the old testament you can have hours and days of fun . actually is much better than the new one. for laughs that is.
ah, how the pharisee legacy lives on. may the "eye of your understanding be opened"....... while there is breath(spirit) there is hope! peace, even as war rages....... francisco
If God hates "fags" so much, then why did His Son, Jesus, say not a single word concerning homosexuality? Jesus has plenty to say about hypocrites who condemn other people while concealing their own sins --(News Flash: Mike Bowers, the Attorney-General of Georgia, famous for defending the Georgia Law against Male Homosexuality – B0WERS VS HARDWICK – resigns from the National Guard, admitting that he cheated on his wife with another woman for many years.) – Interesting, isn't it, that Jesus is pretty hard on the heterosexual males: "If a man lusts after a woman, even with his eyes, he has committed adultery." Bowers, however, went all the way.
Jesus liked the eunuchs – the castrated males – a lot more than your intact woman-loving heterosexual man: "Some men are born eunuchs from their mother's womb, and some have been made eunuchs by men, and some have become eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven." – Matthew 19:12
Isaiah 54:3-5 "A NAME BETTER THAN OF SONS AND OF DAUGHTERS"!!! Sounds to me that the Lord God had second thoughts about "Be fruitful and multiply." Anyone who has read the Gospels thoroughly knows that Jesus has patience and forgiveness with just about anybody but hypocrites and people who are quick to judge others. "Woe unto you...,hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter...cleanse that which is within the cup and the platter.... Woe unto you..., hypocrites! for ye are like whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity." – Matthew 23:25-28
In fact God chose the Ethiopian Eunuch to accept Jesus before Paul had his conversion experience: See Acts 8:27-39. And for those who think that being a woman-loving heterosexual male is the superior orientation, listen to what the prophet Isaiah said: neither let the eunuch say, Behold I am a dry tree. For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my Covenant Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Isaiah 54:3-5
And finally, Jesus doesn't care in the least whether or not you are or are not a so-called born-again Christian, for here are Jesse's own words on how he is going to judge every human who ever lived: "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. And before shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd dividith his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? We saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, we saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily, I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal." – Matthew 25:31-46
"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power...." Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica,Q92, art. 1, Reply Obj. 1 "And a man will choose...any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman...Sin began with a woman and thanks to her we all must die" Ecclesiasticus, 25:18, 19 & 33. 1 "And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her." Ecclesiastes 7:26, from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament)
Hahaha, God is women. God lies a lot too. And God jokes. Like saying "Call god the holy Father"... lol. Father. Right.
You know, if I were trying to come to any conclusions about christianity and all I had to go on were the personalitys of some of the christians who've posted in this thread I would think: "So christianity is all about hostility, paranoia, delusion, self agrandizing, assumption, self righteousness, lying, playing head games, intentently misunderstanding what other people are saying, ..." Fortunatelly that's not all I have to go on and fortunatelly that's not everybody in here.
and because of the "strong delusion" that is "catholicism", and her harlot pagan daughters that call themselves "christian", "The Way of Truth is evil spoken of......." and such "strong delusion" was promised of Our Father....... yet, while there is breath(spirit) there is hope! hope that many would "receive a love of The Truth". peace, even as war rages....... francisco
Well, you've described me pretty well and I'm a good christian. Although I am against christ, not for christ. Not that I wouldn't by christ a beer or I don't love christ, I just have a personal duty that God (the father) has given me: oppose christ. Maybe.
