HydeHamlet Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I hope it's okay this is not from Facebook. It was on the Washington Posts's article about marriage equality beginning in Alabama. It was too godd to not share. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=http://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_908w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2015/02/07/National-Politics/Images/Gay_Marriage-Probate-0e2a4.jpg&w=1484 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenWolf Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 God has no ego problem. He does not reveal his glory for his good. We need to witness it for our good He must have a lot of ego problems, especially if he needed to create an ENTIRE race to worship him for eternity. Well sorry, mate, I'm not keen on stroking your ego after years of you doing fuck all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rerics Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 "Share if you agree!!!" This is another expression that galls me. Just another litmus test for the Xtian to be able to tell which of their FB friends shared the meme, and therefore by extension which ones are hell-bound heathens who did *not* share it.

violetbutterfly Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Christian A: Penguin my push back is this: does God speak outside of His written Word in direct revelation to people? And if He does would not that word not be in contradiction to His written Word and would not the person's lifestyle and fruit be a life of holiness and repentance and obedience to His word? We cannot judge her salvation but does Katy perry have an overall lifestyle of obedience to Jesus in holiness and repentance? Christian C: If she is still talking to God that is a plus. her soul needs Jesus! So many people in society love God and believe their lifestyle is ok because society tells them it is ok. Jesus hangs out with sinners and He will slowly get them back on track. Same as our society we can't shout to the roof tops that homosexuality is wrong we have to love the sinner and hate the sin but gently lead them to Christ and let Him do the rest. Same with people who believe they are satanists, atheists, agnostic, illuminati followers. We have to love them to Jesus and pray for them constantly. I am not disagreeing with anyone here. I think Katy is a beautiful lady with an amazing voice. Just wish she would use it to glorify God's kingdom. Christian D: I wonder if He also told her to put more clothes and quit producing so much immoral junk. When God genuinely speaks, He always confronts our sin. He is holy. When He reveals Himself, He doesn't hide His holiness. If God truly "got her" (her words), then she would repent. This makes me so glad I'm out. SO GLAD. How could I have ever been a part of this nutjob cult? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could I have ever been a part of this nutjob cult? I know how you feel. "Christian A" used to be my youth pastor, and he helped me immensely when I did something exceptionally stupid at the age of 15. He had his opinions, sure, but he wasn't nearly as judgmental. Now...*shivers* I don't know the guy. Saw a lot of "98% of people won't post this because they don't really love God" bullshit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thought2Much Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 "If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it! Share if you agree!!!" Does dying count as bringing you through it? To the kind of Christian that posts this kind of schlock? Yes. "The Lord took him home! Hallelujah!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jeff Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 From a Catholic friend: God will never allow more than you can handle or overcome to be placed on your shoulders.

Penguin Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 "My first day of work was moved to tomorrow at 10:30. Please pray for me tonight. I can really feel this is the right thing to do because the Devil has been trying to stop it all week. Last night I slept maybe four hours. I kept jolting awake, not breathing. I kept waking up gasping for breath. And that's not normal for me. I know it's the Devil abs not Sleep Apnea, because he was doing that to me even when I was awake. Please pray I could rest well tonight, so I am prepared for tomorrow. I'm super pumped about what God is going to do with me here, but I need you're help. So please pray with me tonight. I know I can count on you all." That's not the Devil. That's a medical condition. Even if it isn't sleep apnea, the intelligent thing to do would be to consult a doctor, not tell the Devil to shove it. UPDATE: I tried to be a decent human being and advised her to see a doctor. She declined because "this has happened before a few years ago, and it seems to happen whenever I'm doing what God wants me to do." Mmkay. So if you follow God the rest of your life, you can look forward to poor sleep and partial suffocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so stupid now, but it was the first time I questioned Christianity without backpedaling. I thought I was going to be open season for the devil. I thought I was going to be attacked in the middle of the night. I slept like a log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember waking up repeatedly gasping for air too. Untreated sleep apnea kills, whether by heart failure, stroke, diabetes complications or car crash. The last one is the worst, because they take innocent people with them. Religion poisons everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, is her God not powerful enough to ward off the Devil, or is there a secret sin in her life that has compromised her shield of protection? In all seriousness, though, it sounds to me like a condition caused by nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
