THE CHRISTIAN
Christians don't hate the people , we hate the sin, it causes needless hate, confusion and segregation, thus is the purpose of the devil's mission, to kill steal and destroy: families, nations and close relationships
( we arent doing the hating, others who hate being corrected look at us as the hateful ones)like a child would get angry at their parent because they wont give them all the sweets they want, But the parent ,Knowing better, knows that if they give the child to much the child will get sick (harmed) because of it
but you are right, we must love the lost, and not scorn them , many Christians forget this aspect and play like were all perfect and clean, we are no different than anyone except we have God's grace on our lives.
God's Truth Revealed to me( my enlightenment and Shattered dreams)
WHY I SERVE GOD
You will never find fulfillment in this world, being rebellious against God won't last. The things of this world will not last, you can get rich but in the end you will still leave this world without any of it. Even the very food you eat and the water you drink, leaves your body , whether you tinkle it out ,or poop. Even the very air you breath, it leaves when you fart. Nothing is forever, you give everything back to the earth, whatever you are striving to cling on to or be selfish with. ( God showed me this when he came into my life, I wanted to Join the free-masons or Illuminati whatever you call it, so i could make money and be famous ect. However, God showed me in his kindness , this world WILL pass away,
Satan doesn't care for you friends, please listen to God he is our father he loves us , he wants us to come to him, he will satisfy you
I no longer thirst for this world, instead God revealed to me what is good true and fulfilling.
PLEASE LISTEN THIS WORLD WANTS TO KILL YOU IT WILL DEMAND AND DEMAND AND DEMAND AND DEMAND . look at celebrities how they overwork themselves to satisfy their fans and it goes nowhere. And when they are old and have no more kick, the world forget them. And when they die, their music, TV show, clothes or whatever they sold their soul for is not remembered and everyone looks to the new "hip" thing . because the things of the flesh is temporary.
Chapter 2 Now What
God gets rid of self-esteem, lust ,greed, hate, envy, all of the things that people struggle with that lead to suicide, drug abuse, cutting yourself, peer- pressure, addictions to lust, masturbation, evil imaginations sleeping around( womanizing), heartlessness everything.
just ask him and seek him
IT'S NOT A JOURNEY OF YEARS, I sought God for 3 days ( and once a day i asked God for his holy spirit once a day, ) Thats it!!!!! no complicated prayers or anything
I read from Genesis, I had no idea what i was looking for and i was trembling in fear every day until he gave me peace. His spirit bore witness with my spirit and he comforted me and loved me. He will give you proof of his existence to you, he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will. You wont's have to go into the mountains or a cave for years and learn some acient secret truth
please listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he will he will he will he will he will he will
he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will he will
.
Chapter 3 My new life compared to the last
Jesus is the best thing ever , it's not blind faith , you will have an experience
unlike any other,
I Got saved February 4th 2015, its now 2016 and i still am going on for the lord, look at my gallery, i drew demonic worldly things and was filed with pride , not knowing i was lost as ever in need of a savior, but God changed me, he set me free form the shackles of trying to impress others and please myself. I chased vain temporary pleasures that only made me feel worse of myself, i had a hole in my life and i looked to the world to fulfill my desires but they couldn't come close( and all i wanted was to feel good about myself without abusing my body ,thats it!!!!! ), positive psychology,money,riches(latest games, phones) pornography, the best orchestra that'll send chills down your spine( the good ones) ,friend's approval, girl's approval. IT didn't matter how muscular and strong i looked from going to the gym, these things couldn't give me life and make me feel worth something. No matter how much i was admired by others, they liked my image and not the real me. Dust cannot exalt dust.
Chapter 4 My old life
L All these things left me with was sorrow and the anxiety of loosing it all so i would chase after people to get my self worth. I acted as someone else so i could be. I listed to the wrong music and took it for truth,.The philosophers in my day were( MMG, YMCMB, Ed Sheeran, Wocka Floka flame, LOrde, Of monsters and men, just to name a few.) i thought loosing my virginity would have me fit in with others and be free and cool( thank God i didn't). I thought it was normal to kill people, be in a gang, to be cheated on( and to have more than one girlfriend), because according to my knowledge "The hoe's weren't Loyal" lately .And I thought money was the only way to keep a woman around. I thought everyone talked behind my back so i would be mad at family and friends for no reason.I had all of these false truths from the poor souls who trusted satan.
it had me messed up, . I began to hang around friends i didn't care about and didn't mind loosing. I would distance myself form my family members and would try not to love them so when they die i wont feel hurt. For example, When they would want to buy me something or do something nice for me i would refuse it and act mean, wanting them to hate me so i would not miss them or have them miss me.
Chapter 5 My old life Cont.
with my thrist for the world i looked at Christianity as a buffer, i thought of it as people who didn't make anything of themselves, who tried to get the world but failed. And now they use God a s a buffser saying " God is in control no matter what" while they would walk around in shoes, filled with holes and barley had anything to eat. They also said the popular ccliche " money cant buy happiness" and " Jesus is all that you need". In short, i though Christians were losers who boasted in God because that all they had,. I thought to myself, They served an almighty God who created the world yet they have to wait in lines send in resumes like everyone else. Like Gideon i thought" If God is here where be all the miracles" or in my case where be all the money .So avoided God and his cause so i could get a slice of the "good life".knowing if i served God i would have to give to the poor, and live lowly and live normally like everyone else. I planned on coming to God wen i had enough money to put in the offering pan
Chapter 6 How the word of God free me
All these chains and weights i had on me, Jesus released me,and one thing's for sure I'm NEVER going back to that life. How'd God free me from lies, addictions, bad friends? By his truth
God will lead into good paths that will keep you from these things and if you experience this( if you meet an adulterous woman, backstabbing friends ect.) , his truth will protect you and he will comfort you so you wouldn't have, contemplate how to get revenge, sell your soul, kill yourself, cut yourself or try to change the perfect being you are because someone who didn't serve you could'nt take care of you. The truth will set you free, once you're in Christ.
The world was made by him, he established justice and righteousness, meaning when you do wrong, you will be recompensed . His way of justice will be executed. Simple right?
Just remember that God will do all the recompensing, and you will see their reward
When you have Jesus nothing elses matters Seriously!!!!!. This coming form the idiot who called believers losers
IT makes sooooooo much sense , i dont want this world, i dont want the approval, i don't want the riches the glory. Why? it all temporary. Anyone remembers a show calle, " I love Lucy?" anyone knows who is Bob hunt? and the generation to come won't remember Michael JAckson, Heavy-d, Biggie, ect. neither will the other generations to come. They worked their lives for fame and now it's gone along with them. Thats why the bible says that heaven and earth passeth away but my word will never pass away. 2000+ years Jesus is still the front page. Scientists, Philosophers, Skeptics ect are still trying to disprove him, movies are still being made( false ones ) but you get the picture, God will matter in the end. I look to God for my reward, his are everlasting and true and it is mine forever.
Want an example, The promise Jesus made to the prostitute who anointed him
"Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her."
Jesus didn't promise her fame and recognition, but looking here it is evident that only what is done for Christ will last. Even now i'm talking about it!!!!
Chapter 7 MY New Life
My confidence is in God, after i saw his glory( and he will show it to all who seek him, It's a feeling you NEVER experienced) i glory in him knowing that i can't but he can. It's like having that ...."thing" your proud of and can show it off and that thing makes you proud and strong. God gave me truth and now i wanna talk to others, i wanna love, I understand when he said he'll give you a heart of flesh in place for your heart of stone. i wanna give to others. I'm making a book and i don't even care if i never get paid for it!!!.
And last but not least, i learned that Jesus is alive and he is coming back, like his word said, so now i labor for him so others not only could escape hell and destruction but to know him, he gives Joy peace and love, he gives truth and you literally dont have to worry about for future. You dont have to worry about " who to give the best years of your life to " since no one wants to wait on marriage. like i was pondering needlessly. I don't worry about the clothes that i wear or passing this entrance exam, my life is in his hands ad all the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth

WHOEVER READS THIS
All who read this please know that there is a God, I didn't go to church and was fed information and forcefully believed. I sought him for myself , experienced him for myself and am trusting him. God says in his word to try him, seek him and if he doesn't respond then God's a liar , I'm still in my sins and my faith and the faith of all is in vain
If you are an atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, Rastafarian or someone who requires proof
he will reveal himself to you he will, please know he will
Please listen , he loves you, he isnt all about rules and hell fire( hell was made for his angels, it was expanded when we began to reject him, read it in his word or google it, seriously,), if you look in the bible God is all about celebration and good clean pleasure, look at the world, he made beaches, singing birds, marriage,food, the stars, games , MUSIC, God made all of these things
ASk him to come into your heart , and admit to him that you are a sinner, and he will move right away. Seek him, by this i mean read his word he will give your proof

I think you're both wrong in some ways. You first offended Claire by saying that homosexuality is a sin, then she did insult you but you should've read her messages in full to understand what she was saying. I'm technically I'm a Christian (even though I haven't been baptised/christened) and I believe that homosexuality is not a sin.

I hope to get back into the swing of things Lord'swilling
it's just before, i wasn't in college.
So i was able to work on the book with my free time.
the next chapter's all scanned and everything, i just need to finish coloring it in and put words
God bless you!!
without Love,there is no Unity;
without Unity, there is no Peace.
Bless you and your Loved ones and keep you all in HIS Faithful Love.
Just in case you that haven't, they were followers of a Christian dualist-slash-Gnostic revival movement from between the 12th and 14th centuries in some parts of Southern Europe.
They believed in the idea of two Gods, one good and one evil. They saw the God of the Old Testament as being the evil creator of the physical world and all physical matter in it, and that matter was therefore tainted with sin. They saw the God of the New Testament as being benevolent and the creator of the spiritual realm. They believed that human spirits were the genderless spirits of angels trapped within the physical creation of the Old Testament God, destined to be reincarnated until they achieved salvation through the consolamentum.
This had conflicted with the Catholic Church, which believed that there was one God who created all things visible and invisible.
Of course, being the period in between the 12th and 14th centuries, the Catholics had the Cathars all but wiped out.
The word Christian appears in the bible once and it is in reference to when the disciples were acting like Jesus. so they were given that name. Its an adjective
The same way you would call someone a "professional" or a "noob" or a "homophobe" is cuz i display certain characteristics
You got the wrong God, look at what the bible teaches, if it's inaccurate you'll find a slip up somewhere
I'm calling you to do this because if we evaluate sources outside of what we are gleaning from, we can always find something that is in favor or in opposition to what we believe therefore we must evaluate the evidence we hold on to itself.
The "God: you describe is not the one mentioned in the bible.
and the Catholics you describe are not Christians according to the scriptures
If the leader tells you do one thing and the followers do the opposite, then who's in the wrong, the leader who teaches of turn the other cheek, or a vengeful / brutish believer?
When Jesus was just betrayed by Judas and he called the soldiers to take him away, Peter( his disciple) drew a sword and cut the solider's ear off. Jesus rebuked him and told him not to do that and healed the man's ear
That same Jesus claims to be the same God of the old testament, the same Jesus who healed the blind, fed the hungry and raised the dead
You've got the wrong God
All we had to do is to warn someone of their sin, afterwards leave in order to warn others. Well putting this warning into an argument will displease God.
Yes. A true believer in Christ was hated by the whole world.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
well said my brother i agree, sow the seed
Thanks for the help
God bless you
And its good brother, wouldv'e been nice had we met on better terms
But Jesus said "I came here not to bring peace but division....." (A verse from either Matthew or Luke)
comments.deviantart.com/4/2298…
It was a discussion of views we challenged each other;s views ( or tried to )
i asked her a few times to discuss things in a respectable way
I've been insulted repeatedly so i decide to leave it alone, it wasn't getting anywhere
so i reacted the way any other person would would be in my position
Okay before we continue i need to define some terms
Offence is different than insulting, offence is usually subjective and you can choose to take up offence due to someone's actions. Insults is a clear attempt to purposefully attack someone's character and personality through words
She insulted me but i didn't take any offence, Her offensive words had no effect on me.
I literally quoted scripture to her that spoke against the lifestyle she was defending, i stated my point is all.
We began the conversation with the knowledge that we weren't on the same page.
Secondly friend i asked her to kindly restate her claims because
i wants willing to read a message riddled with disrespectful
and hostile remarks in it and heavy language
I wanted to reason but she wanted to row
The bible teaches no such thing as a "technical Christian"
either you are with or against Christian
The word " Christian" is only mentioned once in
the bible( Acts 11:26) and its when the disciples
were acting like Christ, so they were given a derogatory name.
The were acting like Christ.
You can be a believer and not be a christian
You can be a hypocrite, or backslidden but
there are no gray areas. "Christian" is an adjective
Being baptized or christened doesn't make anybody a christian
It's by trusting Jesus Christ as your savior and
asking Him to forgive you of your sins.
We cannot earn our way to heaven so God took
the punishment for our sins in order to make us righteous in
His sight so we dont have to face an eternity without Him
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
Matthew 12:30-He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
If you are a born again believer and you support what the Lord condemns, the Bible calls you and I adulterers and adulteresses
James 4:4-Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
God had no problem in identifying the unfaithful, He even called Israel a prostitute. If you or I support this abominable act as a believer in Christ or any act that is against God, then you should be ashamed of yourself, its wicked in God's sight, its one the sins that sent The Lord Jesus to the cross and your promoting it.
Lastly The bible says that homosexuality is a sin it teaches it clearly
Please read Genesis 19- When God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah
There were gay men (sodomites) who wanted to sleep with the angels God sent to take Lot and his family out to of the city before He destroyed it
After Lot and His family left God destroyed the city, with the liars, thieves, murderers, sodomites, fornicators in all
Repent of your sin, it is not right if you are a believer you're not with God but against Him. Jesus died to save the sinner from that lifestyle dont try to keep them in it thinking its alright because its not. Read the Bible
