ah dear boy, the father of lies leads one into all manner of traps, set just for the one that still believes itself as superior, and as more of god than it's equal fellow child gods.

have fun.

No one is superior. I'm no greater then you nor you me. We are all equal. No one is more important, no one is less important.

THE ONLY EQUAL IS ALL TRUTH A HUMAN SPEAKS IS EQUAL.

so it is but all truth.

if all are equal, than all speak truth.

ANYTHING ELSE IS SELF AS SUPERIOR.

hello...

We are all equal. The only one that can show and or prove the truth to you is you. No one is superior to you nor greater nor more intelligent nor more enlightened that can show you the truth. Only YOU can show YOU the truth.

well, per your own words, then you need not try to show or tell another the truth anymore, since only YOU can show YOU the truth.

hot diggity damn.

an exciting days.

angels...

bring forth your trumpets.

a lost soul has come home.

wow.

saved a lost soul i did.

praise god.

oops.

i mean praise cowboy.

the god.

I'm not here to convert anyone, i'm not here to change anyone's beliefs. I'm here for exactly what this forum is for "discussion" Which in this forum with people like you, it ends up into trying to belittle the Christian faith and or bash it in one way or other.

delusions of self grandeaur. created by religion.

ACTUALLY I HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF HAVING DELUSIONS OF ADAQUACY, BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING. YOU ARE SO SENSITIVE AND FILLED WITH PREGUDICE AND EMOTIONAL BIAS THAT YOU DON'T SEE THE POINT.

and belief that self knows of god more than others.

I DON'T KNOW GOD MORE THAN SOME. I DO KNOW HIM, AND I DO KNOW HIS WORD. I DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. WHAT I SUGGEST IS THAT IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU ARE NOT DEFENDING WHAT GOD SAYS, HIS WAYS, OR HIS LAWS. I COULD BE WRONG, BUT IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THAT YOU ARE DEFENDING YOUR OWN FORM OF ANARCHY.

plain and simple. but, as he rubbed his fine wise chin with just one more stroke, he thinks of how he should rule the world, and set the entire world straight, of course, upon the straight and narrow, to teach people a good lesson, for turning their backs on god...
ah... but...

SEE HERE IS THE PROBLEM RISING AGAIN. YOU DON'T READ OR THINK. I NEVER SAID, I SHOULD RULE THE WORLD. I DID SAY, GOD WILL RULE THE WORLD. THEN WE WILL HAVE PEACE AND LOVE. RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T! YOU ARE ACTING OUT A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS FACT ACTUALLY. YOU ATTACK PERSONS, NOT IDEAS OR PHILOSOPHY, BUT INDIVIDUALS. IS THAT PART OF YOUR CARING? JUST WONDERING???

little did he know, that satan had crept into his brain, and gobbled up brain cells, and that other people just seen the horns protruding from his head, that he did not see himself, since he had long ago, given up looking into the self mirror, why the day 'god saved him', was the day the self mirror was given up.

WOW! YOU MUST THINK YOU ARE A PROPHET THAT CAN READ MINDS. ACTUALLY, I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF "SAVED." ESPECIALLY IN THE CONTEXT THAT YOU THINK OF IT, BUT I AM NERVOUS ENOUGH ABOUT IT THAT I HOPE TO ENDURE TO THE END AT WHICH TIME A PERSON CAN BE ASSURED THEY ARE SAVED:

Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

no need for it now. as self FOUND THE TRUTH OF GOD!

I FOUND THAT THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH OF GOD. BUT ISN'T IT YOU WHO
THINKS YOU HAVE FOUND THE TRUTH THROGH YOUR INTELLECT, REASON, AND LOGIC? I MEAN THOSE ARE YOUR EXACT WORDS. I FEEL THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY SUCH WISDOM. THE TRUTH IS THAT I HAVE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT MY WISDOM IS OFTEN FOOLISHNESS. THE ALMIGHTY'S IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT--ALWAYS RIGHT--ALWAYS TRUE. HE ACTUALLY COMMMENTS ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, AND HE SAYS IT PRETTY WELL:

Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

HOORAY!
I'LL SECOND THAT IN THIS CONTEXT.

and demons in hell did tremble, for a human had found the secrets of god, hidden in plain site in a book for the whole world...

OK OK, TIME TO GO BACK TO TAKING YOUR MEDS NOW. THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET A BIT CRAZY MAKING.

ah, but what the little old man found in the book was the real mccoy, no dounts about it...

AS WE SAY IN EXOTIC MONTANA....YUP! --EXCEPT FOR SPELLING OF COURSE.

and so he walked about, as one that see's many leper's, and began the great battle of the cross, to stand for jesus and god...

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD DOUBLE THE DOSAGE. I APOLOGIZE I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS THIS BAD.

and so, as the self as supreme flowed from his mouth as rivers of self worship and self as supreme flowed and crushed his loved ones, and many ran from him, but he heard that such was the plight of the true believer, and so decided it was the plight he should bear, and the poor little man rubbed his little chinny chin chin again, and forgot, that it twas once said, let noting steal one's unconditional love for one's family, and one's friends, and to not let anything steal that, not religion, not belief, and certainnly not one word from the good ole book.

EVEN THOUGH I SORT THINK THIS STATEMENT ABOVE IS EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE IS WORTH A RESPONSE.
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE NO MATTER WHAT THEY THINK OR DO. THIS IS ACTUALLY ANCIENT GNOSTIC THOUGHT THAT CREPT INTO CHRISTIANITY. TODAY IT GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO IF YOU HAVE LOVE IN YOUR HEART. WHEN DEALING WITH THIS CONCEPT, PAUL SAID, "SHOULD WE SIN THAT GRACE ABOUND, GOD FORBID."

BUT, JUST SO YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS LOVE. IT IS AN ASPECT OF HIS IDENTITY. THEREFORE, HIS LOVE NEVER STOPS. HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ALWAYS ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. WE DON'T ALWAYS FEEL IT, EXPERIECE THE EFFECTS OF IT, NOR DO WE ALWAYS EXPRESS IT--AS YOUR "CARING" NOTE ME ME SUGGESTS. THE REASON WE DON'T ALWAYS ABIDE IN HIS LOVE IS BECAUSE WE DON'T ALWAYS OBEY GOD. FOR THIS REASON, JESUS SAID:

Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Joh 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. Joh 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

SO, YOU SEE, GOD HAS ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE US. WE ALWAYS LOVE OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HOWEVER, WE CAN'T ALWAYS ABIDE IN GOD'S LOVE UNLESS WE ARE IN SUBMISSION TO HIS COMMANDS. IN A SIMILAR CASE, A WOMAN HUSBAND MAY SAY HE LOVES HIS WIFE, AND SHE MAY NCONDITIONALLY LOVE HIM, BUT IF HE ABUSES HER, HE CANNOT ABIDE IN HER LOVE. HE MUST FIRST REPENT OF THE WRONG. THUS, THE SAME IS TRUE FOR US. GOD LOVES ALL OF US, BUT IF WE DISREGARD HIS COMMANDMENTS, THEN, EVEN THOUGH HE LOVES US, WE CAN'T ABIDE IN THAT LOVE.

why my oh my... for that to be stolen by words in a book, would mean one's own crown would have been surrendered, given up, all because the little old man was first afraid for HIMSELF, and did not want god to be mad at him, and certainly not cast him into hell's fires...

IN ALL SINCERITY, I CAN'T BE CERTAIN I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. COULD YOU JUST TALK IN PLAIN LANGUAGE FOR ME. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE OF THE BELIEF THAT I DON'T HAVE LOVE FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY BECAUSE OF GOD'S BOOK AND MY OWN FEAR. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. MY WIFE DIED, AND I JUST GOT BACK FROM VISITING MY KIDS. I DON'T GET WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. BUT THERE IS ONE THING YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND. THERE IS SIMPLY NO BETTER LOVE THAN THAT DEFINED BY GOD AND EXEMPLIFIED BY HIS LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE:

1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 1Jn 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1Jn 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

AND DON'T FORGET

1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

THE THINGS YOU ARE WRITING ARE COMING FROM YOUR MIND. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY BELIEFS. TO ME IT IS A CLEAR CASE OF WHAT THE PSYCHOLOGISTS CALL TRANSFERENCE.

and all joy was removed from him, for he had forsaken his loved one's, in favor of protecting himself from dissaproval, which would mean cast out of heaven, and surely into hell. ah, but only if the little old man had seen such, then joy twould have been found again, and love and friends came back, and they treated as royalty, as those one loves aught to be treated.

I THINK HE IS TALKING ABOUT SANTA CLAUS HERE???
and peace was no longer sought after for oneself, and good for oneself, but rather peace and happiness and love for others, and the little old man with the means to create it for his loved one's, brought love and smiles and good cheer to all he loved.
and it was christman time.
what a befitting time for the return of love for others as more important than belief.

JUST A NOTE:
LOVE IS A ACTUALLY A NATURAL OUTCOME OF A PERSON'S BELIEF. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN LOVE BASED ON YOUR OWN PERCEPTIONS, YOU WILL ALMOST ALWAYS FIND IT IS LUST OR SELF SERVING. IF YOU LOVE OTHERS AS YOURSELF THE WAY THAT GOD PROSCRIBES IN THE SCRIPTURES, IT IS UNSELFISH LOVE.

and the ole faithful companion the book was retired, for now the old man who rubbed his chinny chin chin, got to talk with god personally, so no longer needed a book in it's place, for the voice of god as love was uttered from every person he loved, he had just not heard it before...

WHEN YOU TALK TO GOD AND IT IS A GOD THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THE WORDS FOUND IN THE BIBLE, IT IS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT GOD. FOR EXAMPLE:

2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

SO, I AM NOT CERTAIN WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO THERE FRIEND, BUT CONSIDER THIS STATEMENT FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE:

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

AND TO FINALLY MAKE HIS POINT PERFECTLY CLEAR, THE PROPHET STATES:

and there was joy all through the house of the little old man, who rubbed his chinny chin chin.

ah dear one, did ye think that story was about you?

silly boy, tricks are for rabbits.

that was a story about religions...

duh...

like somebody would write such a story about you, and not address it to you, lol...

delusions of grandeaur are what religions produce in the human mind.

hello...

the story is an allegory, the little old man being what religions make people...

hello...
