After noticing how a few of the disrespectfull children on here have gone to great extremes to chastise a certain lady in R&S,I was going to bring up just that point but it led me to remember something Jesus mentioned in Matthew 18:3.
‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Unlike supposed adults on here,children are usually considered trusting,humble and pure-hearted.The trust they have is on there parents as it should be.
That brings up a good explanation for some who question how a person can have faith and for those who consider it to be blind.
blind faith
Definition: belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination Faith in God is much like the faith children have in there parents because children are generally very obedient to their parents. So an average child serves as an especially good example of a humble servant who desired, more than anything else, to please his father.
Occasionally every child will stumble in that effort.That stumble is part of lifes learning process and like parents,God understands and forgives.
After a child is corrected for a blunder they may be sent to there room,given additional chores to do or prevented from attending an event with there peers.They arent happy about any of that side of life but none of their parents reckonings will cause them lose faith in them.
What does cause them to lose faith would be parents that are unfit for raising children.
Like faith in God...who is fit to raise us all...a childrens faith in mom and dad isnt blind faith because our understanding and perception of them is true to us,the same as ours is to God because we are his individual children.
We didnt have that same faith in our best friends parents or our teachers because we didnt understand them like we did our family.
If we did,in my opinion that would be blind faith and only a person that has faith in God understands the difference between actual faith and blind faith.
Anyway...back to the point I was originally going to make.Get Over It Children this is an adult site and no adult is flawless in who they are.

You have to become like children because children ask things like, "Daddy, how does Santa come down the chimney when he's so fat and our chimney is so small?". The Christian Santa Clause is Jesus with as much magic and mystery who offers gifts when you're good and coal when you're bad. Its time you people learned to grow up.
What would a mythical Jesus do with a psycho who lies about being a psychologist but is nothing more than a counselor, tells everyone on R&S she uses dildos and then tells everyone they're going to hell because the like what Bishop Spong says? I'd say Jesus would forgive her and then tell her not to sin anymore. So why is she still sinning and getting worse? I sincerely believe its the natural progression of mental illness but its also because your blind faith is nothing but a bullshit spiritual wasteland. It simply doesn't work. The statistics proves it. The Bible Belt is filled with hypocrites who believe dinosaurs lived 3000 years ago. They're hypocrites and they're stupid. To add insult to injury, they flip out in churches babbling gibberish nonsense they call speaking tongues. So you got a real freak show going on there. If Satan wanted to destroy humanity by making people destroy themselves what better way than to create Christianity as a tool for spiritual suicide?
To understand faith is to understand wishes, hopes, and dreams. Its not about what is, its about what isn't because if you had it you wouldn't need to fantasize getting it after you're dead. Faith is blind because faith doesn't require evidence, veracity, fact or knowledge. It requires a suspension of disbelief. It requires that you shut down that part of the brain that doubts and thinks. A brain that thinks needs information and if you got no information then you got nothing.
As for your children. If you are poisoning their minds with bigotry and hate, the imagery of hell, torment and Satan then you are mentally ill and a child abuser. To instill such imaginary and needless fear into the unformed minds of those who are the most innocent is disgusting and sick. Maybe you do it because as a Christian you don't believe children are ever innocent. You believe infants are stained with the sins of the flesh simply because they were born. It can't get anymore deranged than that.
So get over it children, its time you grow up.

Thank you, Jankia, how kind and sweet you are, and what a wonderful post.
You know, they can never understand, they don't even know what love is or what it is to love their parents, or what God's love is all about.
Faith is way beyond them, and that is so very sad, they have just become bitter, hard cold people.
They don't want any Christians here, not true Christians because, since when has satan liked the presence of the Holy Spirit, or the word. They don't even know who guides their thoughts, their feelings. They think it is they, themselves. As for me, I would be more than glad to put that blame on Satan if I thought and said what they do.
You are such a blessing to us, Jankia, don't let them run you off, ever. God bless you, brother.

Hammer, you are just being an old pervert who derives pleasure in trying to put others down. You are loaded down with sexual hangups and don't realize that we are HUMANS, that we have needs and desires just like YOU do. I think you should go cut your hand off, you talk about the hand thing often.
We do the wrong things sometimes, we are not perfect. But you know, we can admit that. Most of you think YOU NEVER do anything wrong, you are soooooo good, have so much integrity. Just some of your posts on here show how deranged you are, hammer. Most of you guys posts on here show how LITTLE integrity you have, but I guess you can't see that, or don't know what integrity or principles are.
You know what? Most of the time, I don't even read your posts, they are just
garbage and full of lies. You don't think everyone knows that, hammer? Do you think people are blind, or stupid?

Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

I find it rather incongrous for a non Christian to use the word against a Christian, especially when they don't even understand it and only have a portion of the word.

blind faith
Definition: belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination
This is the Christian way...... blind faith. It is very clear Christians have little discriminatory powers, lack of perception to truth and are very discriminatory towards all overs.
The answer to christian beliefs can only come at death and so anything until that time for them is blind faith. No God has ever appeared before a Christian and hence again blind faith.
The basis of doing good is the Ten Commandments and hence no discrimiatory powers as to what is right or wrong with them and hence anything else.
Basically all a crock of nonsense.

Totally flawed. No discernment, wisdom or compassion.
You know, they can never understand, they don't even know what love is or what it is to love their parents, or what God's love is all about.
Here is judgement, no discriminaotory awareness of what is right or wrong. Blind faith in a God and what a God thinks.
Faith is way beyond them, and that is so very sad, they have just become bitter, hard cold people.
Judgement again. Discriminating towards others. No understanding towards other people beliefs.
They don't want any Christians here, not true Christians because, since when has satan liked the presence of the Holy Spirit, or the word.
Calling all others satan. Discriminatory, hateful, spiteful. Full of blind faith.
They don't even know who guides their thoughts, their feelings.
Again hate and anger.
They think it is they, themselves. As for me, I would be more than glad to put that blame on Satan if I thought and said what they do.
Believe my way or the highway. Discriminatory, bigotry, hate and anger.
You are such a blessing to us, Jankia, don't let them run you off, ever. God bless you, brother.
Delusion.
This is the true face of Christianity.

Hammer, you are just being an old pervert who derives pleasure in trying to put others down. You are loaded down with sexual hangups and don't realize that we are HUMANS, that we have needs and desires just like YOU do.
So what are the root cause of suffering?
I think you should go cut your hand off, you talk about the hand thing often.
Did you learn this from your God? To kill, destroy nations and harm others? Love and compassion?
We do the wrong things sometimes, we are not perfect.
Others learn from their mistakes.
But you know, we can admit that. Most of you think YOU NEVER do anything wrong, you are soooooo good, have so much integrity.
never see it in you Bev  As sail has stated you are not remorseful, not sorry about anything wrong you do. Doing wrong isnt in your vocabulary.
Just some of your posts on here show how deranged you are, hammer. Most of you guys posts on here show how LITTLE integrity you have, but I guess you can't see that, or don't know what integrity or principles are .
Its easy bev, Stop your shit and nobody will have no claints to post!
You know what? Most of the time, I don't even read your posts, they are just
garbage and full of lies.
A real Christian would never dream of saying such to anyone despite how false or true it may be. What does hammer have to lie about
You don't think everyone knows that, hammer? Do you think people are blind, or stupid?
Desperation, shooting into the dark.

Bev:

You are talking to someone who had been a better Christian most of her life and others amongst us who have been Christians and usually have a far greater understanding than the nonsenses that go on here.
But, anyhow, any non-Christian have the right to question Christian dogma especially when its thrown in their face constantly.
Christianity is insidious!!!! Its soul purpose is to propagate by "spreading the word", but i have the "GOOD NEWS" for you. In this day and age people ARE NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH IT ANY LONGER!!!! This is the 21 st century and not the dark ages or some communist regime that puts down people because they wont conform!!!!!

Good morning sail!
Wishing you the greetings of the day in spiritual discernment.
I'm wondering about Seal today. He shoots into the threads, writes a very profound and intellectual statement and shoots out again.
We have so much to learn from him

What is the size of a seal's brain? The language part is very small which is why it can only relate to culturally docile and submissive minds.

Understanding Filth
To watch someone disgrace themselves publicly is like watching a cesspool at work. Most people flush their toilets  with the door closed and then spray some air freshener but but she keeps it wide up for everyone to see. A known and confirmed liar, hypocrite, bigot, delusional, mentally ill psychotic who really shouldn't be driving a car is the model of Christian Filth.
Who is this person? Do we know who it is? Is she going to be next month's centerfold for Christian Filth magazine?

seal- Oh how you love to quote that but you can't discern its meaning.  So true seal,Its a good laugh this morning to see these children so hypocritical of just themselves.
They all live on here to judge and then call it there right.
knots- any non-Christian have the right to question Christian dogma Questionings fine but thats not your intent and you know it.It was a supposed Christian that started the thread and his intent wasnt on getting the answer he wanted but to flame Bevrice.
bandmom from the "lets pretend were religious adults" thread.
-I was categorizing it as just another one of your stories that you are so fond of making up. Judgement? No,thats a fine example of a non-Christain asking questions.
Have fun today kids...school starts next week.

scanning this thread i am reminded of a couple of lines from my guidebook. to whom it may concern, give not that which is holy unto the dogs, cast not thy pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn and rend you. it is apparent that these verses apply to both sides of this fence. it only takes a moment for the dogs and swine to reveal themselves. as for the wolves, they are much harder to discern due to their apparel. LOL we be jammin
