Do NOT be Deceived, God is NOT Mocked -

[chansen]

Some people believe the Soul Bank contains the souls of everyone not yet born. In this way of thinking, I am pretty sure only God would have an account there.

You're thinking of a sperm bank.

Soul wells are only halve soled and thus need something shoved down (lessors) to complete the lesser beings ... thus that strange footwear under the bed? Women observe for Pan connections in the mates luggage (sometimes known as Pan Ties) ... like Trump wears over his mound ... where he stores his belief system ... c'est in pole ..

The sol/psyche/mind domain is one of the real unknowns in life ... yet some say they know everything that is sacred there ... doesn't appear to me to be in the greater scheme (sometimes known metaphorically as an agenda of darker form) ... and some say a dark form is even mysterious ... and authored out as Heart of Darkness as the buck gets passed ... even in Hartford!

The core code of uncertainty ... for those frightened of being without determinate sin the cosmological pool ... w'aters overhead?

With transparent sol (limpid) can the shafted not envision it from their sticking point? Some even say that you can stick some Phtha 'd into dark form of word that will not be unraveled for some time due to multiple duplicates ... something to look into as poly tech ... demon St rabble chaos?

Well whet my socks ...

-hhas Satan written all over it ---so if you or others really believe what this says ----you are all duped and Satan is laughing all the way to his Soul Bank ------IT contradicts what the Scriptures say -----

Unsafe - I am aware that you have a satanic lens & battle focus through which you view life and scripture. It is not a view that I share, based on my own experiences of life & scripture, and my understanding of the spirit's message of love, grace and mercy. That you continually judge the views, beliefs, ideas, experiences of others - your "unbelievers" - as "incorrect" is disrespectful of others in our community, in my opinion. I wonder at your objective in continuing this behaviour here. Respect for others is a central tenet of our code of conduct.

unsafe says ----
And you and others don't disrespect what I believe --all your name calling and disrespect you and others dish out at Born Again People ----Sounds Like a double standard here ---the Pot calling the kettle back so to speak -----

I post what I believe just like everyone else does on this Sight ----Just because it doesn't fit with your beliefe you like to bully and threaten people ---- and tell them how they should post -----

I will post what I believe just like you do and Satan is a part of God's Truth so if you don't want to believe that then that is up to you but don't threaten me for what I believe in -----which is God and His word -----

 

[Carolla]

all your name calling and disrespect you and others dish out at Born Again People

I believe this to be a false statement - I do not recall engaging in name-calling & find your accusation offensive. Nor do I think I have bullied you, or threatened you as you state later in your post. Please refrain from making such statements about me.

What is it to cleave people out of the ordinary and send them off to hell on the word of King James? Thus the Celtic double edge ... leading to back slicing ... backhanded backsliding?

Carolla is simply saying there are many different ways to read scripture. You are trying to argue, in the face of thousands of different Christian denominations as a result of endless schisms, that there is one way.

I'm going to have to give that one to Carolla.

But this thread is about mockery, and because of that, leave Carolla alone. She, as a rule, doesn't really mock anyone. I consider that a flaw, but she seems content with it. She is simply trying to talk sense to you, and I think you're beyond that. I think mockery is about all you're good for, so that you can serve as a warning to others. It's clear that I mock God far more than Carolla does, so tell me again what fate awaits me for laughing at your BFF.

This interesting article about reading scripture popped into my news feed today ... thought it might be of interest to some following this thread. There Is No Such Thing as a Plain Reading of the Bible

so I did some reading and read the article, nothing really wrong with it per say, but it is a bit of an eye-opener, to one such as I, the author is quite right that "There Is No Such Thing as a Plain Reading of the Bible". The bible is subjective to all of us in how we read or approach it.

This phrase near the end resonated with me - "Let us hear the voice of God today, and ask “How can I draw meaning from the Bible in a world that looks nothing like it does when it was written?” "

Here is the eye-opener in this phrase :

1) we have God, who if truly exists, is the Objective and we have 2) The "we" or as it's stated above "I" , we know we exist, so we know we are subjective to the bible.

for one it should read How can GOD give me meaning from the Bible

so how can we as subjective creatures, know and decern True meaning from the bible without the Objective?

and the answer aways is

we cant

unsafe says -------No there is not all kinds of right interpretations of scripture ----That is an False statement ----all scripture points to Jesus Christ and eternal life -------and all Spiritual interpretations of scripture will reflect that ----all other interpretations are just human interpretations ----they are not Spiritual ----- Spiritual interpretations is directed by the Holy Spirit ------not humans

John 5:39
Study Bible
The Witness of Scripture

38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.

39 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me,

40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.…

 

[unsafe]

There are many counting on God's Love to save them -----But sin demands justice and God is a God of Justice ----His unconditional Love surrounds us every minute of every day ---but when it comes to His Covenants God demand adherence--- they are conditional and we have free will to choose ---that is His unconditional love and grace allowing us to choose ------We choose and we reap all by ourselves what our choice brings ----God will bring His Righteous Judgment against all who choose wrongly ------and that is very Scriptural

 

[blackbelt1961]

unsafe says -------No there is not all kinds of right interpretations of scripture ---

the author never says there are all kinds of right interpretations but only that there are many. he doesn't say anything about right and wrong.

I know there is Truth and falsehoods, a lot don't and at one point in our lives, including me, you and everyone else born, did not, I am guessing this is where Grace comes into play in our witnessing and why Jesus had to commit the greatest act of Grace on the cross, so we could see and believe. I try my best at it with failures, of course, I'm only human, but one thing I learned was that even though objective Truth does exist it has a double edge sword, Truth Gives Life but also Gives death when against it , so Truth it's not what calls people to Christ we have already come against it , Only Love calls people, which is what Christ did on the Cross. When called The truth will prevail in their lives when Gods Spirit is involved with them, not ours.

we are just supposed to be graceful witnesses

This article brought this thread to mind. To paraphrase Robbie Burns (because I never could remember the exact wording) may we find the gift of seeing ourselves as others see us. It's fascinating to see how some folks see others as mocking God, yet fail to see how they themselves mock others.

What Non-Christians Want Christians To Hear

Reactions to a few quotes:

However, in their eyes, I was nothing but a sinner who needed to be saved.

This is one of the biggest problems with conservative (in particular) evangelism. The constant harping on sin and the need to be "saved" by their version of Christianity is off-putting to many and, unfortunately, puts a lot of them off the faith as a whole, not just the part of it that talks and thinks like that.

Once Christians know I’m gay, the conversion talk usually stops.

Points up, once again, how much the conservative agenda shapes the perception of the faith as a whole. No qualifier like "conservative" or "fundamentalist" or whatever, just "Christians hate gays". I don't know what liberal/progressive Christians, who are largely LGBTQ-friendly or allies can do to deal with this perception, but a way needs to be found. And the onus is on the pro-LGBTQ Christians, not the gay and trans communities, to do it.

When did it become that being a Christian meant being an intolerant, hateful bigot? I grew up learning the positive message of Christ: Do well and treat others with respect, and your reward will be in heaven. Somehow, for a seemingly large group of Christians, that notion has gone lost

Of course, the problem is that for too much of Christian history, the intolerance has been the norm and the "positive message" has been the one that has been lost. From forced conversions to heresy trials, Christianity has a history of using bully tactics to deal with diversity rather than accepting and engaging with it.

General Reaction:

When I was still a Christian, I was constantly fighting the notion my atheist friends had that to be a "real Christian", I had to side with and defend the nonsense being spewed by televangelists and similar. And, to be honest, it's not an entirely unfair assumption. They are the public face of the faith and there isn't really a prominent liberal/progressive counterpoint that is really getting the same amount of airtime, in spite of the best efforts of Spong, Borg, and others.

unsafe says -----All True Christ-ians can expect to be persecuted in some way or form and you are so right Jesus talks about that and it is scriptural -----Jesus was persecuted for speaking truth and He warned His Disciples about being persecuted ----Unbelievers hate Bible truth that is why they keep twisting the scripture so it will suit their own Religious beliefs -----

Yes. When a person trusts Christ as Savior they inherit enemies. The Bible says that these enemies will persecute those who have believed. Jesus said:

Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you (Matthew 5:11,12).

The Apostle Peter wrote:

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may also be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed (1 Peter 4:12,13).

Therefore the believer should not expect everything to be easy all the time. Problems will occur. This includes persecution. Scripture tells us to rejoice during these times of persecution.

I still love how the bible tells you to believe stupid things and then predicts people will make fun of you for it. Then when people make fun of your stupid beliefs, you celebrate because you think that's some kind of confirmation.

It's a brilliant move by the bible authors. They keep getting people to fall for it, 2000 years later.
