Good for you, Jeanie! I'm glad to see someone stick up for themselves against such remarks.
Since when did following truth accurately become harmful?
This is a statement of our inability to see truth today. It is so colored by our own desires and wishes that it has become noble in the eyes of some to defend themselves against logic.
Have we really regressed this far?
Yes, unfortunately.
The Bible speaks volumes about the time we live in.
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."(2 Timothy 4:2-4)
"Rebuke them sharply that they may be in sound doctrine."[Titus 1:13]
"Titus was instructed to go to Crete and "set in order the things wanting, holding fast that he by sound Doctrine might be able to convince the gainsays."[Titus 1: 5-9]
We're talking about the decision to have or not have eternal life here. It is not something to be taken lightly.First of all, dude, I don't believe in Yahweh or even know who it is. I wasn't raised under your belief system and I won't buy into it.

I have borne testimony to you that I have investigated the Bible and found it to be true and accurate, and that it speaks on subjects that are of vital import. I would strongly suggest that you take this subject seriously and investigate these things for yourself because the consequences of negligence are not good.
You tell me your god speaks to you, can I not say that my gods have spoken to me, or I to Them?
It is no great feat that a god or God speaks to a man or woman.
It is a great thing to know the god or God that speaks to a man or woman.
Basically what you've done through the above statement is invalidated Hinusim, Buddhism, Islam... and that's just to name the major religions of the world.
When speaking truth, is it possible to not invalidate those things which contradict it?
How can a person claim to be logical when they hold that multiple, contradicting beliefs are all true?
Your posts are rank with supremacy and there is no finer example than your above post where you to sit there and invalidate my beliefs by brushing them aside saying I worship fallen angels and the like (I don't believe in any aspect of your religion, so how can I be worshipping some part of that faith?
The statements I make have nothing to do with pride. Pride is nothing more than a waste of time.
I make these statements because I care for those who are willing to explore whether what I'm saying is true.
I've done my homework and I know the God I worship.
I strongly suggest you examine yours more closely, for your own good.
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."(2 Corinthians 11:13-14)
His fallen comrades can perform the same tricks as well.
It's like calling Wiccans Satan-worshippers when they don't even believe in the Christian god or Satan in the first place.)
Truth does not care what you or I believe. Truth is truth. It is up to us to seek it (or not).
If you happen to worship (or we can just say "follow") a fallen angel, you are following someone who follows satan, therefore you are following satan as well.
(That's exactly what "the fall" was: Angels "following" satan in his own "fall". That's why they are called "fallen".)
It is very dangerous and is not a game. Deception is very strong in this time.
Make sure you study the Bible to determine if what I have told you is true or not.Know that even your very emotions against God and the Bible can be "stirred up" by demons and fallen angels. This is why emotions can be very deceptive. Don't follow them. Follow logic and reason.
God left plenty of evidence for you to find Him if you care enough to.
I could very easily argue back by saying according to my religion you aren't worshipping the all father and the all mother but rather a mere branch of the two, and that your religion is all hogwash.
You could argue that, but if you did your homework, you would find that all "gnostic" data is divided into two ultimate camps. One is pure and very accurate and the other has been carefully altered and changed to deceive.
Be careful and study searching for evidence, not following emotion.
The difference is a) I don't believe that and b) I wouldn't say such a thing.
There is nothing noble about withholding truth from another.
"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."(Proverbs 27:17)
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."(Proverbs 27:6)
How does a friend wound but by telling the truth.
You want to argue whose religion is more validated? I could post you lists of documents indicating that Jesus Christ never existed and that much of the Christian mythos and stories are stolen from far far earlier religions (including suchs facets of Christianity as the three wise men, virgin birth, resurection and the cross).
I have studied those beliefs and found that they are wrought with gross error. They are a deception.
Had I found them to have integrity, I would not be a Christian because I have no desire to be walking a belief that has error or is simply not true.
Study deeper.
But I'm above telling other people not to have faith in their gods and that's where you and I so very clearly differ.
If what I say is true—that your god is a demon or fallen angel—then I do you a favor by telling you the truth.
Again, there is nothing noble about telling the truth about what your research has revealed about another's folly. It is the duty of us to take care of each other, not tickle each other's emotions.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
One would think that after noticing how many posters here get offended at your asinine remarks something would trigger in your head not to post in that manner and to change your writing habits. But as you like to say to others: maybe it's the mercury poisoning.
The same small group of people continue to get offended, none more than you.
I hope you eventually decide to honestly investigate the things I say. Time is short and the God of the Bible has given you sufficient time to decide if you will follow Him or follow your own desires.
