because of my stance on the last few questions I asked I have a Georgia person telling me to accept that I am not a christian and I will be more respected. What exactly did I say to make me no longer a Christian? And I guess I need to know what it makes me ....

Oh yeah I should have added that this is just an attempt at humor since the woman doesn't know me so therefore her opinion matters not.

I personally don't care what you call yourself...you seem like a very lovely person to me. No one can take what you believe away from you, so the label should mean very little. I can understand the point a little in that you are a very independent thinker and that's not indicative of Christianity. (I used to be a christian too)

I think Georgia is really trying to share that she has had similar experiences and as you get older you may reassess you religious concepts. One will sooner or later understand Devine unconditional love. On prison,i feel for those in prison but i know what you put out is what you get back. even those falsely accused. We should not execute people. there are way to many in prison on false evidence. Prison should be less confortable than boot camp.

I don't have the patience to read through all of your questions and answers to find support for what I say here, but I have noticed throughout the weeks that sometimes you are right-on and other times you say things that seem to indicate that you don't know Christ and his teachings in full.
From the last question I read, about child molesters and whatnot, you seem not to understand that fully accepting Christ into one's life transforms a person completely. Meaning, when you come to know Christ, you are changed from the inside out. You seem to be saying that there are certain people who cannot be changed thus. That is, you appear to believe the evidence of the world over the evidence of God.
Do you think that Saul of Tarsus--who later took the name Paul and became one of the builders of Christ's church--wasn't really changed from the inside by his relationship with Christ? He used to capture Christians so that they would be executed. When he met Christ--and this was after Christ's physical death--his entire life changed. Utterly. He came to love Jesus and to spread the news of salvation. He was willing to endure prison sentences...and he continued preaching from prison, writing numerous letters of hope, strength, and encouragement to the people of Corinth, Rome, Galatia, et al. Are you saying that this man was not utterly transformed through Christ's mercy? Are you saying that such a thing is impossible? If so, do you believe, then, that one of the founders of Christ's church was just a scam artist?
If you don't believe that people can be entirely changed on account of accepting Christ's gift of salvation, then you are not a Christian. This is what it boils down to.

I went back to your other question and I would not want someone like that in my neighborhood.
But just disregard the opinions of Georgia....LOL
Looks like she answered your question at 2am after kicking back a few Jack Daniels. What does she know................

It's what happens when you ask questions and people read into them too much. I asked a question last night about patron saints and had people telling me that Catholicism is a lie and I should get out now...and I'm not close to a Catholic...

I didn't see the post. Don't worry about it. You know weather you are Saved or not. Your being a Christian doesn't depend on others opinion of you, only on God's opinion of you.

Yes I know it would seem it comes from both sides of the spectrum. Like when a christian woman called me evil, or that my words were the spawn of satan, something like that.
Just keep being who you are, and the rest will follow along.
I wish you well.

Perhaps you just think for yourself at times. I do find myself agreeing with you at times. A lot of the time I'm pretty sure you are a nut job still, so don't think you have "fallen from grace" or anything.

what your Religious Belief System is really has little importance as to who you really are. please ask and answer the way your heart tells you to as this is what is important. remember you are unique and there never has been is or ever will be anyone exactly like you. there is an agenda you are to fulfill and personally am glad you have touched my life. thank you very much.

You just get rude answers sometimes on this site, take them with a grain of salt and keep working for the Lord.
