    i was not talking to you before, but I am now-

    What was your heart telling you when you dropped an F-bomb against Saturneptune, and when you ripped on Scarlett O who were trying hard to help you? Since that time SN tried again to reach out to help,despite your potty mouth,and you laughed at Him????

    Listen....maybe you can go away and come back with another user name, and try a fresh start so you do not continue with your hostile attitude to everyone who tried to help you. Did your"pastor" approve of your language and attitude...when he told you we were all tools of satan????:wavey:

    Hey, Rev -- I'm amused that you liked that saying enough to make it your tagline; but putting my name to it doesn't seem right. Seems like I'm getting credit for something that someone else said. If I can track down the original author, I'll let you know.

    and

    She's broken just about every rule on this board, starting with foul language from her first post since returning here. (See her posting history.) Yet, some continue to feed her.

    Just like drone bees feed the "queen" in a hive.

    Uhmmmm, (pause) ......... perhaps my choice of example is incorrect. A queen bee is needed to maintain the health of the hive. There is a far better example to be taken from this classification of God's creatures. Be careful when you continue to feed her as she has a history of killing her mate.

    Matthew 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (KJB)

    Perhaps, simply praying for her is better than continuing to feed her appetite for all the things revealed in her posts.

    :praying:

    II Timothy 3:1-5,7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

    Baptists, like many, came out of the 16th Reformation, English Separatists, if you will. Then of course you had General Baptists and Particular Baptists, and their respective Confessions.

    But Baptists are no more Christian than our nonBaptists brothers and sisters in other Christian denominations. It would be foolish to think so.

    hey unless any of you can QUOTE within context anything that I have said that is bad...or better yet you yourself are not doing or are not doing worse than me than I guess you don't know Matt 7 very well.

    I doubt you can find anything though without reading into something that isn't there like the word CRAP isn't a swear word and a abbreviation could mean whatever you want it to.

    So good luck with that one :tongue3:

    I has bee recorded though through private email, others outside the board, me and others on the board and through an internet search who the BULLIES, LIARS and EVIL POSTERS are...so obvious. Just give Christ a bad name that is all.

    Here is a sample of your posting:
    [FONT=&quot]
    It is against the rules to hurl such personal attacks calling others "tools of Satan," and telling others that they are not saved. If that is your opinion you shouldn't be here; you should go elsewhere. Why do you stay?
    [FONT=&quot]
    Again, accusations of others telling lies from Satan, etc. Why are you here?
    [FONT=&quot]
    You question God's omnipotence and sovereignty?? Again referring to another as "stupid"? And then suggesting that God is unable to remedy this person's problem?? This gives some insight into a serious flawed view of God.
    [FONT=&quot]
    To summarize you question God's omnipotence, his sovereignty, and then seem to blame him for the mess that "he got you into" concerning your past relationships.
    "It is God allowing IT without any accountability."
    That statement is putting blame on God, and is blasphemous.

    But you have posted much much more. You have posted things that can't be reposted because they were so foul I have already edited them out.

    You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.

    Your attack was on God, and still is. You believe God is not able to take one whom you perceive to be intellectually challenged and unable to do a work in his life. You perceive God as weak, perhaps walking on a cane with white hair, having lost his ability to do the miraculous. Is that right?
    What a terrible depiction of God you have?
    And if that person is a Christian, has eternal life, according to you he will still be intellectually challenged even in heaven.
    What you say is heresy.

    Sounds like you have a problem with COMPREHENSION and UNDERSTANDING when it comes to what I write...I am sorry for that and will continue to pray for you...

    "You Can't Teach An Old Dog (65) new tricks"....and "The Best Predictor Of Future Behavior Is Past Behavior"....I mean how old are you and you? And you don't reflect Christ and His love?...God will not override YOUR free will...juts saying!

    btw


    MERCY and COMPASSION: A much needed commodity in our society today. What does it mean to have these virtues and why do we not see more of it? I thank the Lord that He has given me either by genetics or by experience the ability to show MERCY and COMPASSION. In one sense, I do think much is inherited, as my kids and I are pretty good natured, (People-People) so I am sure ones innate temperament plays a huge role. When I took a test on spiritual gifts many years ago I scored equally high on FAITH/WISDOM, then equally high on SERVING/GIVING and then MERCY and others to follow. (Of course this is a Baptist church, so no sign gifts…which is another study in itself which I actually personally wrote about in 1991 that was 8 pages long, no computer, took me close to a year to put together) Anyway, I honestly believe and I know many will disagree that I think many of our innate gifts can transfer over to spiritual gifts. I also fell the closer one is to God the more God can do with them... I also know God can totally do such a transformation in one’s life under His power to do just the opposite, such as Moses. But for the “most” part if one has COMMON SENSE (Is it really common, that is what I want to know?) then they will have WISDOM. If one has a HEART then they will GIVE, ACT and show MERCY, if one has APPRECIATION then they will SERVE, if one is not prone to WORRY, but has a very TRUSTING nature they will have FAITH…see what I mean?

    Anyway I am not going to focus on just Christians, showing Mercy and Compassion is for everyone to practice no matter who you are, or what you do. Mercy is defined as “Forgiving Someone Of An Offense” it may well be warranted that you hold a grudge against that person or that you make sure they know what they did wrong and that no matter what they do or say there is no way you will forgive them. If I remember correctly JESUS forgave every sinner that confessed his sins. So why should we be any different? I mean isn’t the bottom line, (It is for me) that we should “Do Unto Others As We Would Have Done Unto Us?” …I’m sure this isn’t news to many of you, but I’m going to BLOW it at times in what I say or do, that is a fact till the day I die. And so will you. For one, our PERCEPTION alone will cause us to either be offended or to offend, just the way it is….for now. But the key to allowing MERCY to take place is in proper communication STARTING with the ONE WHO IS OFFENDED to say something to the one he feels has offended him and have an open HEART to try and understand the other person’s side…who knows maybe it wasn’t at all what you thought it was and your perception wasn’t reality. MERCY is; no matter what that person said or did, and if they have tried to make it right or are remorseful for it, then YOUR JOB given to you by a higher power, is to forgive, and pray you don’t do the same to someone else. By your NOT forgiving you are now the one OFFENDING…see the irony?

    A great example of showing MERCY (and I’ve heard many of these) is a victim or family member of a victim forgiving the offender when they deserved JUSTICE. Think of a MURDER or RAPE situation. The offender may be required by law to pay the penalty, but the victim carries on a relationship with the offender as if they were their best friend…that is the ultimate example of MERCY and is what Jesus did for us. I do think it is much easier (I know it is for me) to show Mercy to someone who is actually REMORSEFUL for what they have done and has tried to do what they can to make things right…if not, than it is hard if not impossible without God’s grace flowing through you.

    COMPASSION: Is going a step beyond EMPATHY, it is actually doing something about the “feelings” that make you stop and say, “what is wrong with this picture and how can I fix it, so we can go back to harmony.” I want to live in a world where people get along; a beautiful world based on harmony. (don’t we all?) I want to live in a world where we take care of each other, we are not to live isolated lives…the saying “NO MAN IS AN ISLAND” rings true. There is strength when two or more people are gathered, when the more strands you have the tougher the rope, where one does the right thing because it is the right thing to do. I can’t help but think sometimes, by the GRACE of God there go I. I want someone to be there when I need them… not IF, but when. The song “LEAN ON ME” and “YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND come to mind.

    I guess my bottom line is, everyone cries out, especially models lol… that their deepest wish for mankind is that there be PEACE...Specifically “World Peace” well guess what, if you really do want that then it STARTS WITH YOU!...it starts with me. But I am only responsible for ME! …in closing I say…

    Peace through Mercy and Compassion.....:wavey:

    God teaches every believer through his Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit resides with the true believer and gradually conforms him to the image of Christ. This process is called "sanctification," one which you seem to deny. It results in a display of the fruit of the Spirit, which has been noticeably absent in the majority of your posts, especially those threads where you have dwelt on your own personal life.

    What fruit of the Spirit is displayed in calling people "tools of Satan"?
    What fruit of the Spirit is displayed in not following the rules of the board?
    What fruit of the Spirit is displayed in many personal attacks and insults?
    What fruit of the Spirit is displayed in posts that are so ugly that had to be deleted, and therefore cannot be reposted?

    I could go on? But do you really want me to?

    You really need to take the PLANK out of your own eye...you have yet to prove where I have said or done anything wrong...you twist and spin what you want when it really isn't the way you present it at all

    much like cultist and religion do. You and others take OUT of context the written word...and your attacks are clearly mean spirited and confrontational.

    Your tactics are not new to me or anyone else reading and those who have been driven away...I see it all the time...so your antics won't work with me

    I PREACH...LOVE, BALANCE AND TRUTH

    therefore my words stand on their own...hey, try this.... instead of constantly CRITICIZING ME...how about you find some thing in all my threads that I have provided something that is TRUE and EDIFYING instead of constantly TEARING ME DOWN.

    Let's see if that is even possible?...why do I feel that I am just wasting my breath cause you GUYS don't have it IN you.

    Just saying...;)
