Russ - you're transferring your general feelings about the situations on earth at this time toward people here, though
Actually, I care about the people here, and this is my motivation for taking the time to answer the critics.
People who care about truth over their own emotions are precious in God's sight, and so I serve both them and God by being a source of accurate information. I have a great affection for truth seekers, no matter where they are on the path.
On the other hand, I despise selfish people. These are the kinds of people who will pervert truth for their own gain—emotional or otherwise—and inevitably, when this occurs, people are hurt in the process.
I realize that truth is a difficult thing, but I also know that it's only made difficult by those who are selfish and invent their own "reality" for their own purposes, and then even try to spread they "reality" to others in an effort to make themselves feel safer (safety in numbers).
So, I appreciate you consideration, but you are incorrect in your statement. My feelings are very different toward people who love truth and people who love self.
And telling yourself you're being like God in doing so
I'm not sure we're you're getting that from.
I am only trying to be more and more pure in my life. There is only one God and none are like Him. In fact, this concept was part of my prayers today (Friday, technically yesterday now).
Judgment is to be reserved by Him
The Bible says that a spiritual person discerns all things.
I posted to you a few weeks ago about the misnomer of your belief about "judging" no one.
My job is to teach. My character is to forgive, or at least become better at it.
Even if ALL the conspiratorial issues are correct, you dwell on them constantly which is not healthy.
I only "dwell" on them on this forum when they are necessary to correctly respond to a post.
You may be surprised to know that in my physical life, I play guitar, write and record music, watch movies, program computers (yes, I actually enjoy that), and do photography.
I do not like thinking about my illnesses constantly. To me it gives them power. I don't think of myself as sick. I know you think you are a warning voice, but life goes on. You DO raise awareness. My point is that perhaps your life is out of balance??
Please know that my point in warning people about the evil in the world is so they can prepare themselves and so they can discover the accuracy of the Bible.
You're statement above lends itself to a dangerous belief system related to creating your own "reality".
Yes, laughter strengthens our immune system. Yes, positive though strengthens our bodies and affects those around us, but there is a line.
The Bible warns us to heed warnings and to be wise concerning approaching evil.
But how can one be wise about approaching evil if we are ignorant about it?
This is the appointment of the Church. We are the watchmen on the wall. We warn people about approaching evil. It is an act of love and responsibility. How people respond is up to them.
I am actually a very positive and happy person. Throughout my life, my friends told me about how they respected my positiveness and encouragement.
You haven't even gotten involved in a relationship on a personal level Russ.
My personal relationship is with God.
If I find a woman who can handle the truth and who I can love in a romantic way, you can bet I'll be ready.
I've had numerous friend throughout my life. I even still have friendships with ex-girlfriends. Relationships are no problem for me.
You have some seriously high walls up. You have to trust someone
You have me all wrong.
People are meant to love and be there for each other. THAT is how we become Christ like.
Did Christ lie to people about the very difficult times to come?
No, He didn't
Loving someone means telling them the truth.
The gospel is a message of love.
Um... You're leaving out the rest of the story.
The gospel is a story of love
through adversity].
Our job as the Church is well-defined by Christ, and love involves much more than just making people feel good.
I don't buy the lack of pride thing, either.
Again, you don't know me.
What is the most important commandment?
To love God.
The second:
To love your neighbor.
Just don't forget Jeannie, Christ said:
"If you love Me, keep my commandments."
