this is not a mean undercutting thread that i made but an open thread for the christians on here to offer up prayer for this guy and the other non-christians on this forum. I think it would be a nice chance for us christians to collect together and offer up our prayers for this forum, not just the christianity forum, but the whole of the hipforums. If any others come on this thread with rude comments we should not argue with them or insult them in any way even if they annoy us and offend.... i thought it would be a nice idea for us christians to see who of our brothers and sisters in Christ are on here... who wants to start?
Fedup's actually a stealth Christian, otherwise would he have just said fuck you. Anyone who appreciates prayer is a believer, in one way or another.
Guess i'll be the first one to start then! God, help! Father you know all these dudes and dudettes on these forums, it's kinda scary, but you do anyway I'm sorry for my screw ups today, please forgive me for my gluttonising attitude, i'm sorry for talking behind a persons back today, it wasn't intended but it happened anyway. Give me strength to deal with gossip and not to go into it myself. Lord the main reason i'm coming to you with this prayer is on behalf of these hippies. You've brought me to them totally on purpose in Your wonderful interweaving ways. I'd just like to ask and pray a blessing over them and that in their debates their minds and hearts would be open and fair, and that they would be as inoffensive as possible That they would give the experience of You a chance Lord. You're not just some 'experience'-it pains me to even use the word like that, like it's some random drug to get high on and go all crazy. But Lord Father Jesus, Dude You're so amazing and You are the ultimate high! Knowing and loving You are wonderful things to have, and You bring peace and love and joy and stability to those that know You. Not to say that christians don't have anything bad happen to them of course, but You know what i mean. That great reliance on You Lord God. Oh Lord God i'm derivating at the moment, but please please please touch these hippies tonight Lord. Daddy please show them Your face, show them the Holy Spirit and give them opportunity to know You-not in theoligical terms, but in social/relational ways. Father thankyou for being so awesome and incredible. Thankyou that You show Yourselves to those that really want to know You, thankyou that You sent Your son to die and take on every single bad thing anyone has ever done or said or thought. It's so immense Lord!! Thankyou for being both fair and mighty and huge and above our understanding and yet You long for a relationship with us. Thankyou for all the miracles You've ever done. *waves to jesus* can't wait for when You come back. Have mercy over our lands and homes, and give us more time so we can tell more people about Your coming. Thankyou again I Love You Dad. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
What!? no way sister. Fuck these unbelieving iodlatrous sinmongers. If they want to get themselves on the fast track to hell them I say let 'em. I don't want heaven getting all cluttered up with God hating infidels, what kind of masochistic freak do you take me for? Having to deal with these unrepentant heathens is bad enough in this life, I sure don't want to have to deal with them for all eternity. Heaven should be reserved for righetous believers like me. All the devil worshipping, fith-ridden, pagan/atheist perverts on this forum have their own place and I hope they like it hot. My advice to them would be to dress all in winter clothes and move to death valley to maybe start getting used to their eternal home now. That was a joke yes I know it was sick. Sorry but I've been in a weird mood lately and that amused me for some reason. I actually like the idea though I don't generally pray for people. This is one of the few situations in which I will pray for people. Reason being that I used to be an atheist and a satanist and people prayed for me in the same manner (though not on the internet) and it worked wonders for me, miracles even. So yes I like it 100% horray for Lozi.
He is one of a dying breed. His attitude and bad vibes will come back bite him in the ass. In fact they already have. His insane fixation on insulting well meaning people called Christians, is a sign in of itself that he is hurting bad. Yes, I will say a prayer for him. And Lozi, I will also say a prayer for your hair. Hey, you can say a prayer for my hair too, all 17 of them.
Your idea of what it means to be a Christian seems to be a very narrow one. NOWHERE have I said that I think that I know everything. Here is something people should ponder on though. I believe that the REAL teaching of Jesus can be summed up in the Golden Rule. A very simple rule. There is a lot about the life of Jesus between childhood and adulthood which the Bible leaves out. Some believe that Jesus studied the religions of Asia before returning to his homeland. Complicated religious dogmas might have seemed like good ideas to self serving elitist leaderes of the past. Today however, one of those dogmas in the form of RADICAL Islam is endangering all of Humanity, in the form of RADICAL Islam(Notice that I did not just say 'Islam', the Koran has lots of wise sayings. Every religion has at least a few good features about it. Those who are not Muslim are most certainly not automatically infidels!) Radical Islamic terrorists have been lead to believe that they will be rewarded in heaven for committing mass murder. Where does this kind of thinking end? I hope and pray that it does not end with nuclear weapon exchanges! Sorry for calling you a maggot, but it was the best comparison I could think of at the time....wait I still can't think of a better one.
Father, you created each of us and you knew each of us before we were conceived. Thabk you for FedUpAmerican. Thank you that you have drawn FedUpAmerican to this forum. Please, help him to open his heart to You, Lord. Open his heart and his eyes to all that you are. Your beauty, your majesty, your loving-kindness, your faithfulness, your peace, your joy, your compassion, your patience and your gentleness. Allow him to see you work through others who know you so that he may truly know you. I pray especially, Lord, that he may come to know of your awesome love, your amazing grace, and your plans for his life. Plans that are far beyond what I can hope or imagine. And I pray all of these things in complete faith in you Lord Jesus Christ who lived and died and rose again. Amen.
ah, I think we all need a little prayer or good thoughts sent in each other's direction every once in a while... good for the soul, even if ya don't think ya have one
This first part isn't prayer, it is confession. Why? God (assuming for sake of argument he exists) already knows you screwed up. Why confess? It's rather redundant if you ask me, and if you didn't ask me, it still doesn't change the fact that its redundant. God is omniscient, he knows all.... kinda like Santa. This is mere opinion, again if god exists and is omniscient, her already knows this. Why are you being redundant? If you are offended by this (a debate) then you shouldn't participate in debate, other than that, I do not mean to offend anyone, its not my fault you're emotional. Its not working. Your god is all powerfull, he can do better than this I would hope. Its been 3000+ years in the making and he's yet to convince even half the world of his existence. Pretty poor track record if you ask me. Why does a "Perfect Being" need any of this praise? It appears you are just showing off to your fellow christians to show how "christian" you are. Spirits do not exist, you have never seen one and if you have, there are drugs for this... you can't have relationships with invisable friends, there are drugs to help with this psychological abnormalty as well. Not to mention that so far this is the only "praying" you have done so far. And guess what? If god exists, he already knows we do not believe in his existence and if it was part of his plan, he'd do something about it. You praying is presumtious on your part to assume he will change his plan just because you asked. This is nothing but thanks, not prayer. This makes no sense at all. You thank him for being fair and mighty and you think he wants a relationship wioth us, yet you think he's above our understanding? What does that even mean? You seem to understand that he has Tri-omni powers, what part is above our understanding? Show evidence of just one miracle, notice I didn't even ask for proof, just evidence. Wow, all that and the only prayer for us heathens was a request that we may "get to know him"..... I'm impressed.... NOT... The whole point to me replying to this thread was to show that prayer is redundant, useless and pretencious at best. Assuming the Tri-omni god exists, he already knows what is going on, has all the power needed to change things he doesn't like and yet, I'm still not even remotely convinced of his existence. Now all you christians will claim that I need faith... (read my sig) Poppycock!!! If your god existed, he has the power to reveal himself to me just as he did to Moses and all the other prophets and I would still have the free will to accept/reject him. Seriously, Satan knew of him directly and chose to reject him, so it shouldn't be any different for me. Who are you (christians) to think that by begging god for things, that he would change his plan that was already set in motion. What makes you think he doesn't know about me not believing in his existence that it requires you to ask in the first place? Do you have influence over the all mighty's will and plan? How arrogant is that? When you pray and you get what you asked for, this is coincidence, when you pray and you don't get what you ask for, you claim its gods will or his answer was no.... Well Duh! He already has a plan, stop wasting his time. If you REALLY thought you had influence, then why haven't you all asked for world hunger to end, why haven't you asked for tsunamis and earthquakes and all the other terrible things god could prevent to end? Oh thats right, its gods will that all these things need to happen... What a nice guy. In conclusion, prayer is pointless, unless your goal is to show how "christian" you are.
have you ever tried prayer yourself ? seems that your the one who thinks he"s god ........keep takin those tablets lad .......and stop pulling toungues its somewhat disrespectfull ..........i"ll say a prayer for you fedup
Yes I've tried prayer, sometimes it "appears" to work, other times not. I have also prayed to the Sun, it has the same success rate.... try it sometime. Not sure what you mean by "pulling toungues", but if you meant tongues, then I still don't know what you mean. You haven't refuted one thing I've said... come back when you can.
Thats the best you can do? I'm not a troll. I'll be here to debate any time. Trolls typically come to spam a board, then leave. Or they offer a bunch of crap and don't stick around to defend their arguments. Or the best they can do is attack the debater, this is called ad hominem attacks, a logical fallacy when you can't back up the attack. Was this your "christain" response? LOL
maybe you need to open your eyes more (re-read your post) and you will find i have refuted a couple of things you mention .
also itsdarts you state satan knew him directly .........so are you saying you believe in satan and not god ?
