Roz Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 "Her negativity even extends to a mild disgust of God's current, sin-tainted heaven. "Our sins are recorded in heaven and sin (the transgression of God's Law) did begin there, so pristine heaven was tainted so God permitted freedom of choice." (Which is why God will create a New Heaven for his children, btw.)" And she knows this how? BAA, X, you guys just made me think of something... Chalk up another clue that she's SDA. From Ellen White's Great Controversy: "Every man's work passes in review before God and is registered for faithfulness or unfaithfulness. Opposite each name in the books of heaven is entered with terrible exactness every wrong word, every selfish act, every unfulfilled duty, and every secret sin, with every artful dissembling. Heaven-sent warnings or reproofs neglected, wasted moments, unimproved opportunities, the influence exerted for good or for evil, with its far-reaching results, all are chronicled by the recording angel." http://www.ellenwhite.info/books/ellen-g-white-book-great-controversy-gc-28.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbelina Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 She seems to have developed a harder edge during her last absence.What do you mean, Par? As a Christian we are supposed to self evaluate so feedback from you is welcomed. You're a bit more preachy and a lot less fun. I realize it's a hostile audience but hey, you picked us. Your chances of winning over any of us is nil, so why not enjoy some real conversation with the natives. And send Florduh those pictures. Aha!!! I knew it! You want me to continue speaking your atheistic lingo-smartaleckanese. I don't think I was preachy, I didn't even polish up my soapbox , I still didn't. I knew you, Florduh & some others are sort of masochistic but I don't want to bash you. I see you all as peeps http://www.bing.com/images/results.aspx?q=peeps&form=MSNH14&pc=Z129&refig=84190b85d71a48d581a9902903e4397a Y'all are peeps in lions' clothing. God knows that & Satan knows that & Satan wants to eat y'all up! That'll be awful! Whether people accept the gospel or not it still has to be preached. You never know, during the latter rain some of you lions may decide you don't want oblivion after all. Looky here, Par, just because I find you lions interesting & funny (sometimes) & likeable does not mean I'm gonna compromise my principles, OK?

Thackerie Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 ... And she better repent of her sanctimonious vengefullness, because god hates people like the Pharisees. Or, she could scrap the whole religious thing and learn what freedom actually means. It's the sanctimony that bothers me most. I hate that this arrogant school marm comes here to tell us how right she is and how stupid we are all. All she does is upset people here, and I don't think she should be allowed to post at all. We don't need or want her here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marty Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Whether people accept the gospel or not it still has to be preached. You never know, during the latter rain some of you lions may decide you don't want oblivion after all. The odds of that happening are just as good as you converting to the Roman Pantheon christianity replaced because you decided it was the true religion after all.

Roz Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thumperina, perhaps you could clear up an argument we've been having in your absence. None of our resident apologists seem to be able to provide a suitable answer. However, someone like you, god's beloved child and the chosen servant of the most high, should be able to speak to us from the very mind of god concerning the issue at hand. The trouble we've been having concerns slavery in the bible. Not only does your god allow it, he actually makes laws that justify it. Now, of course, slavery is a detestable idea to us godless heathens; but you christians seem to be perfectly okay with it, even reveling in your justification of it. Tell us, please, Thumperina, why did your blood-thirsty, genocidal, god command that slaves be taken? And, if you would be so kind, explain how such a commandment was justifiable. Again, I am absolutely positive that we will get an answer from you that will satisfy our curiosity, given that you are god's beloved and all. ^ no answer to RNP's post but just spewing fluff and nonsense. And here I thought this SDA can bring it, apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main principle of Christianity is obsessive compulsive disorder. This is why someone would want to preach to people who don't want to listen to preaching.

mymistake Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 You never know, during the latter rain some of you lions may decide you don't want oblivion after all. Nobody chooses oblivion. Nobody. It is the nature of living things to eventually die and go back to being inanimate objects. That isn't spiritual or moral. It's simply a limitation to life. Most life has not found a way to sustain itself very long. With advanced medical technology humans can endure a bit longer than a century. Beyond that and the end is inevitable. Living in denial will not change these facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator florduh Posted June 18, 2014 Super Moderator Share Posted June 18, 2014 I knew you, Florduh & some others are sort of masochistic but I don't want to bash you. I'm certainly not masochistic. I'm here to insure the lions and others remain entertained. There is nothing you can say that most of us haven't already heard or even said ourselves. I recommend that you be more forthcoming and answer some longstanding questions, however. For example, the SDA assumption we make from your content. Are we right? If you have not learned your beliefs from SDA and are not a member, perhaps you might consider joining them; it's a perfect for you. Why do you hesitate to identify the sect you most identify with? Another thing, you certainly don't have to agree with anyone around here, but you really need to understand us a bit better. Quoting verses is an inappropriate way to express your thoughts and arguments here as we assign no legitimacy to the Bible for several good reasons. Still wanna play?

I thought/think you were/are semi masochistic in my interactions with you. Anywhere I post I get militant atheist trolls stalking me, many times it's the SAME person using several handles. I believe it happens here. One of them even set me up in the past but I caught on & because of my consistency the non militant ex Christians around here spotted it too, or at least they realized it wasn't me. I get a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation here all the time! When I simply chit chat, they don't like it. When I preach they don't like it but there are some who can actually dialog & are tolerant. If I were an ex Christian who wants to hear nothing about Christianity I would just put the Christian on ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mymistake Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 What I can't get is why is Thumby afraid to answer this question. Does she think she will go to hell if she denies SDA? Does she identify mostly with SDA but disagree on a major point? Is she afraid that telling us will result in some kind of penalty? If it turns out she is non-denominational that leans towards SDA I can't imagine why she avoids saying so. And if she is SDA why not admit that?

Just address, with your own brain, some of the questions you've been asked over your long history here. Can you not form and express an opinion or answer a simple yes/no question?
