I've been watching the History Channel's Gangland. And not just because of that, I am not so removed as to not be touched by the menace. I am human. So I'll leave this with you and check tomorrow. I am clicking off for now. Becoming a morning person.

Im gay but no one really suspects anything. I don't act like the stereotypical gay and I'm more like most straight guys. The only difference is I'm gay. I'm in high school and I can say for sure that coming out has more negatives than positives. I live in rural Virginia too which doesn't help either. Since no one thinks I'm gay, isn't easier just to stay in the closet?

It is clearly stated in scripture, but they have changed the word to judgment, or they remove the verse completely.

If there is no eternal damnation, then is their opinion that you can live as vile and evil a life as you want, and when you die, you just cease to exist?

Before anyone jumps on me about this, I was told this by someone who knocked on my door several years ago. He was offended when I would not even look at his literature.

I mean, don't you think he would have been a little bored before Earth since he's existed forever? Perhaps he has created life elsewhere?

Example you accept Jesus as your saviour and you do good deeds but sometimes made some mistakes that might be sinful like having sex without being married.

You then are accepted to Heaven. Outside the door of heaven, you are who you were the same as you left earth a second before. Once you enter heaven, you are the same as when a second before entering heaven from outside the gate. You see?

So, basically, you were the same self when you were a sinner on earth and you are basically the same person of mind when you enter heaven. The same old sinner that you are.

So, why does accepting Jesus suddenly make you no longer a sinful person or of such sinful nature?

Unless, your mind has been somehow altered like being a robot or reprogrammed only to obey God. You should not have free will because if you do then there is always the chance you could be sway to do things against God like any of those fallen angels with free will.

Believers think they are perfect sinless inheaven

so long that it had the opposite effect
I mean lets take a person who was already a very good person with a genuine and pure heart

now,they go through a great suffering,are DEEPLY humbled and even more compassionate than they ALREADY were to begin with..ok..so,i guess thats good
but what about,this now they have learned much and sufferd much and theres just no end to their sufering
none of which is self inflicted

my question is when does it get to the point
that you can only be so humbled,and so much of a better person...until you just snap and become quite the opposite

so instead of becoming better,youve taken an already better person and just destroyed them

WE ARE NOT ANGELS or prophets WE ARE HUMANS
WERE NOT HERCULES!!
please dont say God doesnt give more than we can bear bla bla
if that were true there wouldnt be so many suicides!!

all i really want to know is if anyone agrees that NO sometimes suferring is unneccesary and can destroy a person whose already

If the world were to end, or the earth were to suddenly explode, what would happen to God? Would he lose his entire purpose?

I know that the tithe of your organization is taken from

Isa 43:10 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.


In the New Testament,
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Thus, Jehovah of Isaiah 43, is He not also the same Person who you all are witnessing for in Acts 1; that the Lord Jesus Christ is Jehovah!!!??

I call myself a Christian, but it's been a few years since I last went to Church. I still belong to the Church, but I feel like it would be weird if I just all the sudden showed up after all this time. What should I do?

And so we decide what that line is and whether we love Jesus or not depending on how close our flee line is?
.
.
Meaning we all have a comfort line where we allow people to come to and if they get across that line we run, fight, accept them, or give up?

KJV
Mat 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
New World Translation
Mat 23:14---

I have been insulted by them for not providing examples. Well I got this from the Watchtower website.

How do they get from a whole sentence to two dashes?

Jesus said these words which are recorded in Mark 7:14

Is this a current Christian view?
