    well to be totally upfront, God DOES punish people if they persist in grieving away His Holy Spirit. And so to coddle xdisciplex isnt exactly the real "loving" thing to do.

    There comes a point when you have to say "hey look, just do what God says" and you dont have to worry about that. But to LIE to someone isnt helpful.

    unless all of you actually believe that no matter what you do, you're on your way to heaven?


    I mean if xdisciplex is requiring us to continually convince him that no matter what you do God will accept you, Im sorry but you can count me out!

    Id rather stay silent than to lie to someone and to help them to deceive themselves.

    Rather, you all ought to be telling him that if God tells him to do something "or else" this is going to happen.... dont go telling him "oh disciplex dont worry, God wont ever leave you, everything is ok"...

    you ought to be informing him to just plain do what God says... (its a concept thing)


    But hey, if you wanna help out the devil and aid in xdisciplex's destruction then I guess thats your choice... but Im not gonna be involved in it.


    ...there will always be false sympathizers, kinda like Aaron... just helping the people build the golden calf. but of course he's "the good guy" but Moses was "the bad guy".

    Ezek:3:18: When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

    I mean, there are times when you need to show someone God's love but to keep trying to tell him that no matter what, God accepts you, no matter how you act or what you do... well thats just another thing entirely, and actually the most cruel thing you could do to the guy.


    Prov:12:10: ...the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.


    Isa:30:10: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits

    Jer:6:14: They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

    Yes Claudia, thanks for proving that I'm wicked. I guess this explains it all I'm simply wicked and God is totally angry at me. This makes me feel much better. :love2:
    And since I have already been depressed as a child I guess I am simply born wicked and God has been angry at me ever since the day I was born. Amazing.

    Hey man, if you want people to lie to you, you have got plenty of them here willing to do that "for" you... just have at it... every single day you can come here and every single day you can pull quotations out of your Bible where God tells you to do something, and every single day you can make sure that you are just surrounded and saturated with people here who are willing to "love" you and quiet your conscience.


    GOOD LUCK.


    I do find it odd though that in your post above you seem to BELIEVE God isnt "angry" at you, so why do you continually need anyone to tell you this? New Agers who used to always come to the Christian chat rooms I attended would ALWAYS come with this idea that with "God" there is no judgment, no law, no retribution... and THEY thought the Christian God was an "angry" God... and of course they'd always try to convince people "God" was just some sort of Santa Claus who loved you no matter what.

    Just wondering why you continually need everyone to inform you that God is just all love and that all these Bible verses you come up with that say otherwise... well you should just ignore them?

    You seem to be in your post scolding me for saying God sometimes is indeed "angry".. why is that?

    It seems you already "know" otherwise.

    Here... let me help. (let me try this)


    See this?

    Rv:21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


    God doesnt really mean any of that, dont worry about it.

    Be fearful, unbeliving, a murderer, whoremonger, sorcerer, idolater, and a liar.

    ....and just dont worry about it. God loves you just the way you are. :wavey:

    Sure. I would like to find a solution for my problem and then be without sorrows again but I don't even dare to think about it it would be too good to be true.
    But somehow this whole stuff confused me. What if God doesn't even want us to be well in this life what if this doesn't matter to him at all and he only wants to shape us and it doesn't matter if we suffer and if we are totally depressed? What if God doesn't care about such things? I dont know what to think anymore.
    I mean if this is true then I can basically always think that if I get sick or if I have a problem it's God's will and God wants to teach me something. Is this really sound doctrine? Then going to the doctor and seeking help or taking antidepressants would be against his will, too.
    When I think about these things then I imagine God as someone who doesn't care about our problems and who only cares about eternity and who wants to mold us through suffering and this life here basically means nothing to him at all. What if I'm totally foolish in God's eyes and he thinks that I'm a fool because I allow these things to drag me down? This makes me feel bad and guilty because I think that God thinks that I'm foolish. Once again the problem is simply that I have no clue how God really is. All christians read the bible but they all paint a different picture of God. Some say that God loves me others say that God might be punishing me but none of them really knows how God really is and I also don't know it. This is no freedom. Christians always say that christianity means freedom from guilt and feeling guilty but I do just that. I feel guilty most of the time and in times where everything works fine I think that God is on my side but when I have problems and everything seems bad then i think that God left me. It's always the same.

    course the alternative would be to (and I know this concept is a hard one to grasp but....) stop being fearful, unbeliving, a whoremonger, sorcerer, and so forth.

    In which case, should you decide to accept this mission, you ought to be asking people here "How do I overcome sin?"


    THEN you might actually be on the road to gettin somewheres.

    I see, you really seem to enjoy this. Does this make you feel good? I think it does. Being able to rebuke someone. Yeah, that's a good feeling. :applause:

    So you are without sin? Tell me, Claudia. How often do you sin? Once a day? Once a week? Once a month?
    How does it feel to be a hardly-ever sinner? This has to be a good feeling. Tell me how you do this.

    Folks, is xdx a troll? Please look at his refusal to admit anyone but him is right, the subject matters he brings up in his opening posts, and I might add that the person who 'stood up' for him is unavailable by email or PM and has not responded to my request to email me.

    I think we're being had.

    Remember when Jesus asked the man "Do you WANT to be healed?"

    It's a good question...

    xdx -- if you are for real, please go back to your posts just in this thread and count the number of times you have said 'me, mine, my, I' and similar.

    I think you will find the root of your problem...

    I'm 63 years old.
    My daughter is 35.
    When she was a teen I turned out every
    light in the house not being used. I did that
    to save money on electricity.
    In her early 20s she found out she had
    the type depression heavily impacted
    by lack of light.

    My son is 24.
    When he was a teen I left all the lights
    on, as much as I could. I can run all the
    lights in my house for four months for what
    it costs to have a 45 minute session with a shrink.

    In other words, depression is a real disorder that needs to be treated. It also can be inherited.

    Exactly. And for my son the treatment that worked was
    lots of light in the house on gloomy fall/winter/spring days.
    BTW, if you ever have been sunburned - you know light
    can have some sides also.

    I've wondered this for a long time. Many have tried to help and offered good suggestions, then he just goes a starts another thread with some off-the-wall question.

    And you're right, Jesus did ask the man"Do you want to be healed?" Some just don't want to. I'm not convinced that this is the case here, but I'm also not convinced it's not.

    Unfortunately there is a problem with the sides of the medicine.
    I don't know what to do now. I would already have started to take it but now I can't but this is a complicated story. :(

    yesterday you said you hadn't taken the med because you were afraid of the side effects. Today you're saying there is a problem with the sides, implying you've tried the med. Which is it?

    No, I have not taken them. I read about a side effect which is problematic and because of this it doesn't make sense to take it but like I said it's a complicated story. I cannot explain this all here.

    I understand, but if your dr. prescribed a med and you refuse to take it then you are refusing help. You have to cooperate or you won't get any better. There's really nothing anyone can do for you if you refuse to cooperate. Everything has side effects. Breathing has side effects. Just do what your dr. says.

    Claudia -- can you honestly say that you have never, ever lied? If not, please try to sound more forgiving, as we have been forgiven.
