quote from TG -
I am going to try to lead some people into DD here about Amy. Please go to the older Facebook page of Amy. When you scroll through the comments from months ago you might see a familiar face (me) telling her congrats. Now I will give you a hint someone here already posted it. Tired of doing the work for some here. This news was from months ago if some DD is done.
And on Valentine's Day! Show some love!!!!!!! GO BRAV!
Ditto! I am soooo ready for this year with BRAV! It's gonna be good! GO BRAV!
Ok. I'm at work now so I can't get really deep into anything...have to earn my paycheck!
Yes, exactly! I didn't ask any questions to people because I believed it was a sin. I agree that if you were born Muslim or Hindu you would also believe that it just is, because that is all you know. Some will just stick to that and others will explore to either prove or disprove.
I would'nt say I use faith because I want it to be true, because sometimes the religion scares me, but from what I have learned I believe and use faith for what I cannot understand.
I have a hard time with organized religion. I was raised Church of Christ and they taught if you were not Church of Christ you were going to hell, even if you believed in God. I do not and will not believe this. I like some Catholism but don't agree with it all. I have a hard time with the Jewish religion because they believe in God but believe Jesus to be just a man. The Bible is there for us and I don't question the Bible, I question 'mans' interpretations.
Another thing I think about is sin. The Bible states Sin is sin, but then I think how could I be thrown in with ruthless killers because sin is sin? But God is a just and fair God and since I don't understand everything, this is where my faith comes in. But could sin have been explained more in any of the books of the Bible that are not at our disposal?
In all of this, I guess I'm really questioning 'mans' agenda. I will never question God's word. Organized religion says to believe but believe the way we say!
Sorry if I rambled!
I was raised Christian so of course I just believed because I didn't know any different. As I grew older I began to question because there was so much I didn't understand and found it hard to believe how in the world could something like this be true. So I went back and forth with Christianity, dabbled in other faiths trying to figure out if anything was real! Through the years there are discoveries that date Jesus and then it becomes tangible. To me, there is enough tangible evidence that what I don't understand, I rely on faith.
I know some posters think faith is ridiculous, and want only scientific evidence for everything, but scientific discoveries are also being revised due to new discoveries.
You are correct, Santa Clause does not exist; however, St. Nicholas did. I think it is a positive spin for children.
It's a deal!
No deflection at all and definitely never having a problem with responsibility for my actions! It's not hard to capture intent, it's in every message on this board. You can read the past posts and see that discussion was Christianity versus other views. You didn't throw down the gauntlet, you attacked. It seems when someone doesn't agree with you; you get defensive. I was just wanting to understand what prompts you to have the views that you do.
PS.
You can't tell by screen name, but I'm female.
If it is on a message board it is up for response. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what and who it implies. Of course this isn't Romper Room, that is why I don't understand why you continue to respond in vulgar language and name calling? That is what people do when they cannot respond rationally. You ask where did I get the notion that it makes you uncomfortable? It's in every reply you post!
It makes so little sense, I feel dumb arguing about it. Other times, ya feel like a good shaking would wake them up.
You know goin' in that it's a cult driven agenda....selling the elixir of life eternal.....after death! It's brainwashing and a classic con......
Might as well ask me why I don't believe in something wonderful like Santa Claus......or winning the lottery. When did believing in something make it so? Did I miss the memo?
Back from vacation. Hope everyone had a good Xmas! Looks like BRAV had been holding it's own! I wonder if ThatGuy has sore fingers from having to re-post things he has already explained!
I don't believe I did. Please show me where I called you an idiot? I engage in mature discussion. I don't play children's name calling games.
When people are not capable of debate they always resort to name calling. I rest my case.
And I'll let you know when I'm ready to listen. And no need to speak at me, you can speak to me.
I agree to seek God within ones self. I think what you quoted is very beautiful.
I can agree with this:
As long as you defy God by self-will, Satan finds you and captures you.
Don't feel dumb because you cannot understand. You are entitled to your opinion no matter how strayed it may be. It's almost like being in the Twilight Zone trying to converse with someone that stays in a one dimentional zone. Yes, sometimes I feel like a good shaking could wake you up. Why does believing in an after life of something wonderful make you so uncomfortable? What and who does it hurt to teach love and that there are repercussions to not living life in a good way? I think the brainwashing is coming from you and others of the same mind spreading the misery you want to share. I also wish you the best.
Well, I tried. You obviously do not have an opinion of your own and cannot debate a subject when your thoughts are not your own. You choose to take the easy way out instead of facing your own demons. I wish you the best.
Well, I'm glad you are not into death cults...neither am I! Why do you say what you believe doesn't matter? Of course it matters. You say "what will happen will happen". Not necessarily! We can choose our own destination, in life and I believe in our afterlife. So I really am interested in what you think. There is a reason that you feel the way you do and therefore have such a strong opinion. So if you don't mind, I would like to understand what you think actually happens and what you personally would like to happen.
I have to go for now...but some food for thought for you. What do you believe is going to happen to you when you die and what would you like to happen when you die?
There is no need for justification, but obviously you feel the need to... but try as you might, you are the one that is unable to back up your comments. All of the answers lie in the Bible if you choose to open your eyes!
Without the Bible for guidance your statement rings true:
Dogma and mysticism create robotic minds that can't see the evil for the fear of becoming evil themselves.
They don't even know they're bathed in it. Delusional existence, indeed.
Great reply. There are seldom any yes and no answers in life without explanation.
As Satan would have it.
There really isn't a difference. You could not possibly respect a person (let alone their faith)by the derogatory rhetoric that you use....and yet you have nothing to offer in lieu of the Bible!
And why do you try so hard not to learn and understand? Only to dwell on what you percieve to be unfair and unjust? I'm really curious.
Of course you wouldn't answer MY question! You wanted me to use YOUR answers and not the TRUE answers. How do you know how God lives when YOU cannot interpret the Bible correctly! And YOU KNOW you are NOT interpreting it correctly and this seems to make you happy! Satan is really getting a kick out of this! You could be his newest recruit....enjoy it on earth while you can...or do as God would have you do and repent and live in his glory!
You did not answer my question...and only a fool would answer your misleading questions simply as YES or NO...and if I did answer them in the context in which they were intended as the Bible states, my answers would not be deluded as you say.
Yes, somethings are hard to understand; therefore, we have bible study, church, etc. so that we can learn. God gave us free will. He gave us our commandments. If we choose not to live by them, then that is our choice and we will suffer consequences. For every action, there is a reaction.

Jesus says to chop your balls off and enter heaven!!
And yesssss again, kill the women. Kill them if theyre raped, kill them if they're not virgins. Kill kill kill!!
And yesssss again, kill the women. Kill them if theyre raped, kill them if they're not virgins. Kill kill kill!!
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill.....but god loves you..
God be loving the smell of some burnt kiddie flesh. Now y'all go kill yer children!
I always respect; however, crudely misrepresenting other's faith is not respectful. imo
I love reading your posts! It only confirms my faith in our Lord! Your posts are yet another reminder of how Satan works and how he tries to misconstrue the written word and manipulate lives. Since you are not dead yet (physically anyway)you still have time to repent and save your soul. I hope that you do! I'll pray for you no matter how much you probably will try to insult me for this post.
Another good reasonable post. Good discussion. imo
A good reasonable post. IMO
Now why does that statement sound like a double edged sword coming from you!?! LOL
Couldn't you have followed Y u's lead this morning????
I sure hope so because I hate thinking I might have been swindled! It's been so long since anyone here, I saw MFTH pop up and thought it was a ghost!!
Hmmm, I wonder what initiated it...
Ditto!
Excellent post!
I look forward to TG's post as well. He could make thousands as a mediator! imo
I BeLIEVE you should give up poker for awhile for the good of your BRAV position! LOL IMO
