>>'deadbeat' 'jar' and others. I am curious. Do you actually invest in stocks? Or do you just 'cruise' the boards looking for avenues to bash homosexuals with your interpretation of the Bible?<<

I have some investments in stocks but I don't see them as more important as my investment in the truth, which I'd rather learn and share with others.

>>I am beginning to accept the notion that many have PM’d me that you, jar others are simply ‘cruising’ the boards looking to ‘bash’ others with your interpretation of ‘evangelism’. Very sad if true. For in reality you are only pushing people away from God and not bringing them closer. Remember what Jesus said to His disciples. “They will know you by your love”. May this be true in our daily walk.<<

I believe it's those who don't tell the whole truth that are pushing people further away from God. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12:9(niv) Lies and half truths are not what I call good for anyone's quest for truth.

>>I am afraid what many have told me is true. That being that discussing such issues with you, jar and 1 or 2 others on this board is truly a waste of time. Good luck and God's grace with your walk with God. And oh yes - happy investing :)<<

It is a waste of time when you try to smoother truth imho.
And yes it is a happy day for me because....Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets. Luke 6:22,23(niv)

>>Do you actually invest in stocks?

Yes. I discovered Zeev on the SI RMBS board way back in the pre-runup days. I don't daytrade so I lurk the IHub no-politics board. I always want to know Zeev's predictions before I buy/sell. I have various longterm positions, and a few short-term (hold a few days up to a couple months)

I hope to be known by my love. Recall 1 Corinthians 13 describes love. Verse 6 says that love "does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;". So if you rejoice in homosexuality, which the Bible says is unrighteous, you are not acting in real love. It may be an emotional feeling - but it is not Christian love. I try to rejoice in the truth as Christ and the apostles taught. Christ affirms this is one of the tests of true love.
