Good Morning!

Sharing a little encouragement for us all:

-------

Useless Speech

"Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers." Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV)

Rotten fruit smells terrible and is worthless. You don't want to get near it, let alone eat it. The same thing is true of rotten language. Whether it is off-color jokes, profanity, dirty stories, or crude speech, in no way should it characterize a Christian. Standards of speech for Christians are extremely high.

Psalm 141:3 tells us how to eliminate such speech: "Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips." (This is a prayer for wisdom, for restraining evil language, and for knowing the correct words to speak).

If Jesus Christ is the doorkeeper of your lips, He will be the one to determine what comes out of them.

Happy 4th of July weekend!

The biggest problem in your list is that all of this verses came from a bible which was compiled by the group of masturbating bishop group together by Constantine. How can you trust this bishops? who gave them the authority to include and exclude what book they want? How would you know that if Hughes Heffnerr is alive in that year his playboy magazine could be a part of the bible?
 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Aunt, still your jovial self, I see.
 

Aha! so you are still dreaming that oneday I will come out a born again christian fully brainwashed by a masturbating meth smoking Pastor? That won't happen Doni O. sorry...not untill I see Jesus coming down from heaven in the cloud  full of smog and carbonmonoxide compliment of hypocrit christian from Earth
 

What are you talking about?  You don't believe in the Trinity? Read again, maybe you will understand this time. I am in no mood to explain.
 

Your not in the mood Doni O. ??? Are you having your period ? Did he just turn his back last night without giving you a goodnight kiss?
 

GOD EXISTS THERE IS PROOF FOR SOME BIBLE STORIES AND THERE IS PROOF JESUS EXISTED GOOD GOING
 

to the non believers if there is no god, and all the christians are wrong then we have lost nothing when we die, but if we are right and there is a god, and you die then you have lost everything.. just something to think about....
 

Yes you are very right you lost nothing when you die and that is very fair because when you were born you did not bring anything too not even a piece of napkin to wrap yourself, BUT MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL LEAVE ALL YOUR IDIOCY ,ALLYOUR STUPIDITY,ALL THE BRAINWASHING THAT WAS DONE TO YOU BY YOUR CHURCH AND YOUR MANIPULATING PASTOR. ALL OF THIS YOU WILL LEAVE AND WILL BE INHERITED BY YOUR KIDS AND THE NEXT GENERATIONS. I HOPE WHEN YOU DIE YOU CAN ALSO BRING YOUR BELIEF THAT IS FULL OF IDIOCY AND STUPIDITY, THAT IT COULD ALSO BE BURIED IN YOUR GRAVE!
 

 

The refutations to all YOUR old and tired, out of context passages depicted by YOUR cartoons YOU posted can be found in well known websites. Some popular ones include: Tektonics - Apologetics Encyclopedia, A Christian Think Tank, Apologetics Press :: Alleged Discrepancies, Inerrancy.org, and many more. Have YOURself a good read.



 

 

Insinuating he is stupid does not help your cause. Mog is a very brilliant and passionate man that backs up what he says with facts.

Try asking him your question in better manner.

I am sorry Doc but I believe I have the right in my opinion that 2000 years of waiting and still counting is stupidity and to much od idiocy. Let me ask you Doc if you have a set date with a loveone,  someone whom you love and respect so much and he promised that "HE IS COMING SOON" but he did not come  will you wait for 5 years? that's stupidity right? so what do you want me to call a  waiting of 2000 years and still counting, Brilliant move and smart people? will you be like those stupid disciples and believers  from acient world that died waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting...................Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What a great STUPIDITY!!!!!!
 

The Son of God has an answer to YOUR question, YOU could have just read The Bible and found the answer in at least a couple of places instead of exercising true stupidity and spewing out propaganda.

"He said to them: “It does not belong to YOU to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction;" -- Acts 1:7

Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father -- Matthew 24:36.





 

 

EXCELLENT POINT. I HAVE THOUGHT THAT MANY TIMES. IF I'M WRONG ABOUT ME BELIEFS THEN I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, BUT PRAISE GOD, IF I AM RIGHT AND WHAT I BELIEVE IS TRUE, WOW, WHAT AN AWESOME TIME WE WILL HAVE!!!!!!!! MAN, JESUS IS SOOOO GOOD. HOW COULD PEOPLE NOT BELIEVE? I HAVE FELT AND SEEN THE POWER OF OUR SAVIOUR MANY TIMES. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GOOD POINT. GOD BLESS YOU
 

If is a measure of doubt lil sister. Make your yes's yes, and your no's no. When we study our Lords word, we do so to be approved before him. We are saved in conviction to him.
 

You're wrong.

If you are wrong about God, then you will have wasted the only life you get.

And If I am wrong, I will suffer knowing that I made the most logical choice I could, and did not give into fear.

Pascal's Wager
 

How is it a waste ? and there is most to Christianity than "fear".
 

A life lived full of hope is not wasted whether wrong or right.
 

This is true. I have hopes even as an atheist, but Christians think that if I don't have hope in what they do then my life is pointless. 
 

Hello Again Ty, You do know that many of us just want you life to contiue, Right ? I  want to see you in heaven ! 
Because Of Jesus' Love  ~ newlyirish
 

No life is pointless my dear. But you are right about others that chastise you for your beliefs. It is one thing to be overzealous, but in scripture, if I may, "Seek to remove the plank from thine own eye, before trying to remove the sliver from thy brothers eye" is something good Christians should follow. Not all do though unfortunately. We should care for all our brothers and sisters, but our own truths and convictions are our own, no one elses. 

Look where we are, 2009, so far away from the original truth no? Our lives have been choked with lies from the scientific community as well as the religious community for centuries. It is hard to grasp the true Christian ethos, but nobody said it was going to be easy either. We should seek to understand more earnestly the things we endeavor at when it comes to who we are and where we come from. I think that, should be paramount to anyone. I have my convictions, I am a follower of the God of Jacob, Moses, David, and a student in the ways of Christ His Son, but I push my beliefs on NO one.

I am a martial arts student of over 40 years. I love a cold beer on a hot summer day. I don't go to a church to worship. I love Harley Davidsons. I am a father and a grandfather. But I am a Christian before all things. But I am still a man with questions too. I hope you don't mind me speaking out to you like this, something spoke to me in your words.  
 

Thank you Ty. :) I often think that ATheist think that Christians don't have fun doing what they do. I enjoy life and it is not a big deal for me to try to live after the rules of the Bible. I think I can leave with it happy and joyfully. That is all what I am saying.

It's great that you have hope. My response was to the person who commented that a christian life is a wasted life. I don't really think any life has to be wasted .

Again , thank you for your response and I hope you have a wonderful evening.
 

Right or wrong is evidenced by the consequences of the choices you make. History has recorded choices that have been beneficial and not. One can only hope as one journey through life's many twist and turns, one would find peace especially when coming to the last moments here in the thin slice of life allotted. If there is a Creator, to be able to find a way to spend eternity in a place promised would most certainly be devine.
As so many promises here in this life are so counterfeit and nonredeemable. Further insights on this discussion can be found on my blog ~Caffeine Commentaries "Christanity, Hitler & Wicca"~ please do drop bye and have a look.
It has been interesting to sit and sip coffee and read this blog and comments. Some provocative opinions to be sure.

 

Pascal had a spiritual conversion Nov 23, 1654. From ten thirty to twelve thirty that night he knew the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and became totally committed to Jesus Christ, God's son

No kidding.
 

Perfect love casts out fear.. there is no fear with God
 

I AM A BELIEVER IN MY FATHER GOD. I HAVE NO FEAR. FEAR IS NOT FROM GOD BUT FROM SATAN. BETTER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN IS IN THE WORLD. I HAVE GOD IN MY LIFE, WHOM SHALL I FEAR? GOD BLESS YOU
 

You  lie to yourself, your action and words speak very strongly of a brainwashed person. brainwashed by his manipulating pastor to memorize verses from the bible.
 

The issue of God himself causing fear(or curing it) is completely besides the point here. The entire issue here was regarding the use of "Pascal's Wager". Pascal's Wager is all about fear, and I refuse to live my life giving my trust in some invisible dude simply because I am afraid of going to a mythical location of eternal suffering.

If you are going to try and show my how my point is irrelevant or incorrect, at least address the issue itself, and not avoiding the point entirely.

Oh, and:


 

the Dude is not invisable...see I am right here...and the Dude believes in god.....

Author Russell Hamner unleashes a resounding expansion that cannot be ignored in his antithesis - Awake the third Testament.

Beginning with religion Awake gives conclusive proof that the worlds understanding of Christianity is inexact. Starting with the understanding of Faith, Awake at last defines just exactly what Faith is, showing that faith is not just believing that there is a Jesus Christ, reproving Martin Luther’s theory “by faith alone”

Gods’ Will Before Religion:
If you believe that God gave us life in Genesis, and you believe that God freed us in Exodus. Then you can understand that Jesus Christ came to do Gods will, which is to free us and save us. And we should believe him because God raised him on the third day to prove that doing Gods will of giving life with the life you have been given, brings life. And suggests that giving death brings death.
It is Gods’ Spirit to give life and freedom; it is Gods’ will to give life and freedom

If you believe and understand that everything in the law is what is wrong to God, and there is a punishment for it. Then you can see why that it is ok with God to give life, and give liberty because it is what he did himself, and he designed the law to protect life and liberty.

If you believe that it is wrong to give life and give freedom, you denounce your own life and freedom. You can’t say it is wrong to give life or give freedom because then you believe in having your life taken and your freedom taken.

These are the only two events that can be revealed in our reality that cannot be viewed as evil or against the law. It is pure; it does not offend; it is divine.

Government:
Awake then reveals how the Colonist used the very will of God, to free and save The U.S. from death and bondage, and form a nation in the name of God.

Gods’ will is completed, proven and recorded in the Declaration of Independence. They did Gods will and prayed for Independence, and became a nation that gives life and gives freedom.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This is to say the truth is self evident that their religious beliefs given by God are life and liberty. The only way to happiness is being alive and being free.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,
(deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.)
This is to say that governments are formed for the protection of our religious beliefs of life, and liberty, and the governed have a say as to their life and liberty.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

This is to say that anytime any form of government becomes destructive to Gods will of life and liberty, it is the right and the duty of the people to abolish it and set a new or conformed government that is not destructive to life and liberty.

And they vowed their lives, fortunes and sacred honor, to save life, and give freedom and happiness to the oppressed. The power of Jesus Christ Awakes!

And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, [Godly Intervention] we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

They proved that doing the will of God brought life, freedom, and happiness, that politics and law are sub-compartments of religion, and religion holds the true power. And from that day it made us the greatest country in the world because they gave life and gave freedom, Gods will.

Critics say, “We don’t mix religion and politics,” scientists say, “Religion is not a science.” I believe that these mind-sets have been instrumental in why we have not discovered what I reveal in “Awake the third testament.”

I have discovered the religious science that has the ability to balance all science
Ø Political science. The main concern with political science is to establish how power is exercised, and by whom, in resolving conflict within a nation.
Ø Social science. The scientific study of the best social plan for society outside of government as a nation.
Ø Economic science. The scientific study of the creation and distribution of wealth and national income to combat depression and economic stagnation.

The science of religion:
This is the science of religion and how it would solve the problematic sciences of political, social and economic science. In the beginning when God saved the Israelites out of Egypt, he instituted the perfect political and religious science that deals with life on earth as a nation.

1. He instituted the government of the law, and appointed Moses as the governor to protect the nation with powers of the military and law.
2. He instituted the Government of Jesus Christ, and appointed Aaron as the governor of the spirit of God, a saving government that is for the welfare of his people with powers of the spirit of life.
He instituted two bodies of power, one to run the law and one to run the kingdom of Christ. And there is a very good reason he instituted two powers, because he knew he also created two types of people:

1. The conservative republican, whose spirit, is to defend his nation, and execute the law to those who choose to take life with the powers that be.
2. The social democrat, whose spirit, is to love his brother in giving him the basic necessities of life out of the powers that be.

Awakes main object is to awaken the two hundred million religious in the U.S. to unite and Form the body of Christ, and bring forth the government of Christ, a National Church that gives life and freedom creating true peace & happiness

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the Government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his Government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The Zeal of the Lord of host will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)

This would more logically organize the powers. Instead of the social leaders butting heads with the conservative leaders they would be separated, ending the great conflict in Government resolving political science!

1. This would allow the federal government of law to run at 100% efficiency without social issues throwing a wrench into the machinery. They would continue to protect life and freedom.

2. This would allow Christ’s social government to run at 100% efficiency without having lawful issues throwing a wrench in the machinery. They would give life and give freedom resolving social science!

Economics:
In 2008 the federal budget, 2.66 trillion dollars were accumulated in taxation.

In comparison, if the 200 million Christians unite and form the temple/government of Christ, and put the entire tithe in the temple from the 340,000 churches in America it could accumulate 1.56 trillion dollars annually.

In the federal budget 1.52 trillion was spent on social issues such as social security, Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP unemployment/welfare/other, that was derived by taxation.




Through the faith based initiative put forth by president Bush, all of these social programs could be transferred from the federal government to the government of Christ, eliminating the need for most taxation, or allowing new tax measures such as the fair tax method, which would free up money and increase the economy.

The government of Christ would focus on the main issues that affect the people, by helping the federal government pay down the national deficit, which would increase the value of the dollar, bringing down the cost of energy and commodities.

Slack in demand causes recession and depression, whenever people quit buying for any reason whatsoever the economy stalls. The government of Christ, working with the federal government would then issue billions of dollars in vouchers to the poor for housing, or furnishings, or automobiles. [Whichever market is failing] Saving that market, preventing recession and simultaneously saving the poor, this in time will bring about a wealthy classless society.

It would create millions of jobs and put “We The People” back in control of our own destiny. We would have the financial power of another country inside this country. And it would double the power and efficiency of the American economy, which in time would balance the world economy, resolving economic science.

The greatest philosophers of all times struggled to answer these questions, Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli and Marx and although they could see all of the elements of socialism and capitalism, law and religion. They could not see how to make it work, and saw revolution, communism and oppression as the end result.
Because they didn’t understand, we don’t need a revolution we need a revelation!

Revelation 10:7 - But in the days of the voice of the seventh Angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 10: 15 - And the seventh Angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord (1) and Of his Christ;(2) and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Awake: The Third Testament “to the mystery of the kingdom of heaven”

Thank you God and can you tell me what 666 stands for
 

It is your number dude!!
 

Nope, I think it is your number Aunt. You know 666, isn't that what you stand for.  You evil aunt, you.
 

i heard it was just a number back then and people started saying it was the dee's number which its not true..so really 666 is just an ugly number..
i hope i helped ..
 

666 is the number which represents the year of aquarius. this is said to the be time when lord satan will reign for 1000 years on earth. but, there are also other numbers which represent this point in time. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying this is complete fact, just what others and myself have seen during research. there's a lot more into the number 666 than just that.
 

I HAVE A BLOG ON MYPAGE " MESSAGE TO ALL THE ATHEIST ON MYSPACE" YOU MUST SEE IT!
 

 

ROFL PUAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!
 

dis-
prefix
1 expressing negation : dislike | disquiet.
2 denoting reversal or absence of an action or state : dishonor | disintegrate.

order |--ôrdər|
noun
1 the arrangement or disposition of people or things in relation to each other according to a particular sequence, pattern, or method : I filed the cards in alphabetical order.

i would have to agree, based on these definitions, that atheism is indeed a mental 'disorder,' in that, at least in my case, we do not care to fall in line to any sequence, pattern, or method, but rather leave our minds open to explore every facet and possibility of all new information.

i'm awed by the blatant hate speech and discrimination coming from a Christian source. how would it be any less derogatory for me to call all Christians mentally retarded?
 

 

didn't YOU know? LIFE is golden!
