Tr2 is the man!! Hey tr2 I'm going to be your setheus (see multiple posts where setheus loves on snizo after he asininely pontificates {or if you prefer speaks as if a fool}) Anyway TR2 ROCKS!! To: [email protected] Try not to be such a: - hacking onto an internet discussion board, that is run by members of your own church, when you are fired because of poor performance as a moderator - calling other people rapists, molesters, abusers, and other criminal names, simply because you don't like them - insulting whomever you wish simply because you want to - looking down your nose on anyone who doesn't believe what you believe - being verbally abusive to people who object to your religion - insulting those who have died in war - repeatedly accusing others of lying because they have a differing opinion-ER P.S. Men don't treat other reasonable men with the enthusiastic disrespect that you spew, ignorant children do.

Your mathematics example is not relevant or germane to the topic you are trying to apply it to. Mathematics is universal across every country, planet, belief system etc… Your religious understanding is not universal. In fact it conflicts substantially with many other belief systems just within Christianity. These are not superficial differences as well. Church members are quick to point that out any chance they get. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say “those churches have some truth” and not say or imply that those churches are full of false teachings. >>> there will be those who will not be able to equate math with religion or this equation >>>of math and religion..... That’s because mathematics does not allow for the contradictions in itself that exist between the various religions. In other words they have nothing in common with each other; ergo your analogy fails spectacularly. You can say whatever you want, but your 2 plus 2 is not the same sum as another’s 2 plus 2. You are not a prophet and you do not communicate directly with God. Do not speak as if you are /do. There are several different forests that share a couple of species of trees between them, but at the same time have many trees that are completely foreign from each other. Lastly, how in the (WORLD) do you know if your “testifying spirit” was the correct one and not one of the tainted? Do you have some kind of testifying-spirit-o-meter that positively identifies and differentiates between competing “spirit testifiers”? Please…. p.s. Your suggestion that someone else is “narrow in your understanding and focus” is hysterical, and hypocritical to say the least.

exmo-jason, Dude, you need to do some re-evaluation. The born-agains have gotten to you pretty deep(in a bad way ofcourse). To think that everyone is not invited to come unto Christ is just asinine. How would one know if one is chosen or not? If one weren’t “chosen” or “elect” what would happen to that person if they decided to follow Christ? Don’t say that couldn’t happen because it could. You misinterpret Romans. Christ is talking about people that pay him lip service but do not follow his teachings, or truly believe in him. Christ invites all to follow him many, many times in “your bible”, not just the “chosen”. For you to contend anything else is complete an utter manure. You are “chosen” and “elect” if you choose to follow the Savior and live his teachings to the best of your abilities. It is this type of elitist discriminatory crap that you, and people like you will have to answer for if there is some kind of judgment day in the future. Pride is the easiest of all sins to commit. Check yourself before you fall any deeper into the pride and arrogance that you have displayed with your last couple of posts. Can I get an Amen out there brothers and sisters?

The problem with God telling us something is true or not is very, very vague. That is why there is something like 10,000 Christian denominations. Everyone has been testified to, by God, that their understanding is correct. But that is pretty much a lie because God did not physically come down and tell them their understanding of the gospel is the right one, and the others wrong. If he did there would be millions of prophets on the earth. There are not. Feelings are not enough to tell you that your theology is right and the only theology that is correct. People gravitate to what makes them feel closer to God. Everyone is different. (Like snowflakes cue new age music) ROTFASIMPL Ray, God did not appear to you and tell you that what you believe is true. No matter what you say, whatever you feel, the conversation betwixt you and the almighty never took place. I know all of the comebacks, "God wants everyone to be on the same page", "God wants us to know his complete plan for us", "God does not want us to be confused", etc…. Please don't bring the Holy Ghost into the conversation either. Feelings are subjective and different to every person that feels them. How can you look at the chaos that exists in just the Christian side of religion and truly believe, with a straight face, that God does not want us to be confused? If he doesn't he has a real strange way of setting us all collectively straight. p.s. are there any masons that read this forum, just curious.

Starsky. What up with your avatar? Did you scan some 1970's Harlequin "romance novel" cover and crop the torso shot of the guy on the horse? Just wondering. I must say he is "magnificent"? just joking about the latter comment but not the former. About the use of our tongue. WE need to be careful what we label as righteous speak as opposed to satanic speak. The free exchange of idea's and thoughts are what civilization is based on. The darkest times in humanities history are punctuated with the enforced silence of the individual in the name of some cause, belief system or government ect... But alas we can all be civil when we communicate and be thankful we have a right to do it. Disagreement is not evil, it is inevitable. Maturity is the ability to get past disagreements and continue the exchange of thoughts and idea's.
