As humans we tend to think of some people as truly wonderful, and perhaps they are in human terms. Yet the God of the Bible has stated, ''for ALL have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.'' God also states, ''that your best works are but filthy rags before the Throne of God.'' The God of the Bible has stated, ''that no one will be justified by the works of the law.'' Another words, you can't work your way into heaven, and you can't say to God you deserve to go to heaven. So it really comes down to, why should God let you into heaven?
Instead of with the God that loves you so much that HE GAVE. I would hate to be with the opposite end of that...
Because this is the best thing for God to do. Of course, you must be molded into one that understands God to understand heaven.
god likes you either hot or cold, not warm, you cant be both. you either love god or not. we all struggle sometomes with a past or our old ways but that does not mena that you are a bad person it just menas you haveto make some desisions in your life about what way you really want to go, where is your heart, what side are you passionate about. we all sometimes flip into our old self at times and it is hard to resist if it was apart of your life for a long time. keep reminding yourself of gods grace and goodness and that you are forgiven of all the mistakes you have ever made, are making and will ever make.
I have accepted Jesus in my heart and by doing so I have accept his words--the Bible... YOU do not accept the Bible...
You are a fucking moron. This bible passage so aptly describes you, it's almost uncanny: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. Christians everywhere have heaped up teachers that teach what they want to hear (eternal pleasant life), instead of listening to sound doctrine which is the testimony of all that happens around them (suffering, ignorance of suffering, death, etc.). I accept the parts of the bible that accurately describe what God does in the world around me. The parts that talk about fairy tale paradise, etc. I do not believe. Even the best life is beset on all sides by tragedy and death. You simply have to realise that you can believe a lie in order to understand why the idea of heaven (paradise) is pleasant, and why people have heaped up teachers that tell them they can get to heaven by a completely simple method- thinking Jesus's sacrifice has bought them passage. The religion of lies is based upon hope for that which you never receive. The religion of truth accepts that God does not desire God's creation to live in paradise, which is why the world is as it is, why all life is beset by suffering and death. Then again, life ain't all that bad. It's just not a fucking paradise. Give up your attachment to lies and become a man, you little dirty whore.
EXACTLY!! people! true wiccans and pagans don't even believe in the "devil" let alone worship him! it is not the devil's work!! the "occult" i think you're thinking of is something totally different. but my point is, a TRUE wiccan has nothing to do with the devil or satan or ANYTHING EVIL! if anything, they just try to repel evil energies. and demons are not involved!! they don't even try to connect with "spirits" it's more "energies" of the earth!! PEOPLE!!!!! FIND SOME INFORMATION FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE!! I am an actual wiccan and everything you all are saying about it is completely FALSE! i don't know why i come into the christian forums, it never fails to piss me off
Jesus is Buddha is Krishna is Allah... get on with it... it's all one cosmic consciousness dancing in all the forms... it is all one, Jesus said it, stop taking the cosmic joker so literal, he had a sense of humor for Christ's sake, the kingdom of God is within just like he said, everybody has one, so nobody is special... Yeah Jesus is a realized being, we admit. I admit I have a thing for him too, he is a cool guy, I mean not many realized beings will go on a freaking cross... but stop misunderstanding the dude! Saying Jesus is the best and so on, it basically just a case of saying that my dick is bigger then your dick... you are just sexually frustrated admit it... and what if you are a woman, how does you argument work then prince of ganja, well I turn to Freud, even though I am totally against his materialism, he was right about these fundies that take one book and put it on a pedestal of literalism is linked to sex... many women fundies want a big dick, a clear case of penis envy, that is why these women funides are saying Jesus is better then other realized beings basically saying I got a bigger dick... look down that's not a dick girl, that's a yummy puss puss of tantric love, FUCK INTO HEAVEN and never have sex again, horray for celibacy, praise christ! Why this obsession with how big your dick when you don't even have one, every other word out of your mouth is penis if you read between the lines... well in the sense that you are the cosmic consciousness... you have everything including every dick past, present, future because there is no time... ahh, you see how silly this all becomes as you start to realize the truth. The truth of the cosmic consciousness... All I hear is Jesus is the only way, blah blah blah... sure he's the way, so is the Tao, the way is the way is the way, it's all the same way. There is only one way, and it only leads to one place HERE NOW! To where it all comes together, because it already was... You are beyond time and Space creating all of time and space, all the planes of realities, all the universes, and you are all of your creations, and you are me... We all have the biggest dick, so let's JERK OFF IN CHRIST'S NAME AMEN or for you ladies... including the starter of this post. Christ would approve in the sense that he is united with the cosmic consciousness that creates all light and darkness, beyond good and evil, beyond sex and no sex, beyond conception and taboo, beyond the concept of going beyond the concept of going beyond, and beyond even that! Up with tantra! Beyond sex... I love you christ, I know you are listening... Christ forgives me if i offended him which I didn't because he has a sense of humor... And I know him personally and basically mainstream christinity has TAKEN A BIG SHIT ALL OVER HIM, and he told me so. Reading the second coming of christ by yogananda, it's coming together... the true message of chirst is being revealed... it points towards the cosmic consciousness! So pat yourself on the back for being part of something that disgraced your so called lord and savior... Jesus, thanks for going on the cross buddy, I kiss your lotus feet, you laughing buddha you! So there you silly heads... Much love and light!
mrsmorrison, if you’re still here, We all go through our hardships, but what's important is that we remain faithful to the Lord, which means we must place our love, trust and obedience on Him (which is almost never easy!). This is what a true faith in Christ is. I can't promise you that life will be easy, but I can promise that if you focus first and foremost on God, that He WILL take care of you. An important lesson that I've learned (er...well, am currently still learning) is that often times we tend to think of our hardships as our hardships. But remember, God never intended for us to function alone. Even from the very beginning, Adam was incomplete without Eve. God created us to be by nature “community” creatures. That is, we are designed to function in groups. And so there is no difference when it comes to the Church. The Church is supposed to be a community of believers (“the body of Christ”), of which Christ is the head, who share in each other’s trials and struggles. Where one Christian is weak, another is strong, and the strength of the one Christian is used to bless another who is weaker in that area. In his letter to the Romans, Paul talks of they being mutually encouraged by each other’s faith (Romans 1:11-12). The Bible makes it very clear that the purpose of God blessing us is so that we bless others. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” So I think the important thing here is that you get connected with some church in your area, and get into fellowship with some other Christians. Don’t fool yourself, God doesn’t want for you to go through struggles alone. Anyway, I pray you find peace in God. Stay in God Stay in the Word Stay in the Prayer Stay in Fellowship And Stay Strong! God Bless!
The reason the Jews are back in Israel is because the Bible states God would allow them to return so the other nations will attack them. The second coming of Christ will be in our generation, because all the prophecies are now being fulfilled in the day we live. When God protects Israel from this great Islamic army, God will not spare America. The Bible states that all of Americas cities will burn, and are nation will be totally destroyed in a sneak attack in one hours time. I writing this to let you know, that God is not a joke, and it's sad to see how it appears you think He is. I fear most people, will only begin to understand this, after their first thousand years in Hell. The Bible indicates that most of the world will end up there. If God was interested in saving large numbers, He would of drowned Noah, and saved the world. God's looking for the few.
Speak for yourself. If you only knew the origins of Satan, and why those that worship him do, you would realize that he is only one of many pagan deities. Wiccans may not believe in him, because they have formed their beliefs in antithesis of how their mean christian mommies and daddies raised them, but I would say that any other pagan worth his salt would agree that "Set-an" is a real deity, remember he was quite popular in Egypt, and there was that little story about Jews in Egypt. Hmmm....wonder where Satan came from? Granted, the Chritians have given him far too much credit, SO next time, a more valid comment would be "True wiccans or pagans do not believe in the Christian views of Satan"
The end of the world is always near with you people, if it passes the supposed date, whoops, I meant the end of the world is no a few months, whoops, in a year, whoops, it's a year. And GOD IS LOOKING FOR THE FEW, SHE IS LOOKING FOR THE ALL, ALL SHALL BE SAVED! It may take a while, but there is no time and space anyway. There is no permenant suffering place, nothing is permant just like Buddha said, and such a concept of hell was ironically introduced by the evil force. What a brilliant evil concept, a never ending torture place for all those you hate. Your beliefs are ones of hate! THe concept of a neverending hell is a way to vent your rage and hate because your head is so far up your ass you eat your own bullshit... because you are a holy bull! Look at those hot cows over there, wow, take one of them right now. We'll all watch and make an animal porn site out of it. wohooooooo!
