Food for thought.

Desiring something for psychological comfort is not how I roll. Well evidenced reality, is independent of a person's personal desires of what they want the truth to be.

If a person, really wants something to be true, to satisfy a psychological need, they will find a way to manufacture reasons to convince themselves it is true and these folks leave tell tale clues of how they go about convincing themselves and it usually includes a lot of; denial, confirmation bias and selective reasoning.

I don't roll that way either bro.

That's right.

I am not here to win a popularity contest or win the approval of the godless.

Is that not the point of your proselytizing?

 

[Davian]

Not at all. Love sells itself. Truth sells itself also. I am here to tell you that you need to repent and be born again.

That is something that does not sell itself.

Particularly when the concept cannot be explained coherently, supported with compelling evidence, and, from what I gather, requires that one toss out most of mainstream scientific knowledge.

 

[Davian]

You must repent and believe in order to receive illumination that comes only from God.

How circular. You must already believe in order to receive.

 

[Davian]

Word.

I used to be concerned about what people thought about me. Then I realized that these people I was performing for wouldn't be there for me when I was down and out. They would not love me unconditionally, lead me and guide me, hold me up when I fell.

So I do not perform for men any longer. I am not on stage. I am content to remain behind the curtain while I point the lights down on Jesus Christ who belongs stage center.

Jesus Christ may not have been an actual person. All I can to is evaluate your actions here.

I am a man. Look at Jesus. Don't look at me. That is your problem. You are lurking and scoping and seeking a reason not to follow Him.

Mind-reading trick fail.

Yes I know. And I welcome their opinions.

And then you put them on ignore.

That's wonderful. Keep seeking out the truth. If you desire Him with your whole heart you will find Him. Be encouraged.

What you are providing here is that if you obsess over god enough that you actually begin to believe then you soon after discover things that you think confirm that belief.

Only a really cruel and careless person demands true love from someone before he will help them or even spare them, and the idea that truth will be found when you desire it enough is completely unfounded. Were talking about facts and reason, not magic and Santa clause.

Its just really dumb to think that you must believe in something before you are able to consider the evidence, its obviously a trick.

Actually you are, the only reason you keep responding is an effort to defend yourself. You know very well that you aren't doing any gods business.

Look at Him, don't look at me. If you look at me you can find fault, for I have many.

ok, enough of the fantasy babble... I know it makes you feel special but it really proves how worthless your ideas are. Please stop.

 

[Hikarifuru]

.. I am here to tell you that you need to repent and be born again.

That is something that does not sell itself.

Uhm... are you kidding? Your god condones rape, torture, human sacrifice, murder... if your god actually existed your god would need to repent to us.

 

[Hikarifuru]

We claim Jesus as lord and don't care what the world thinks of us. We only care that people come to know the love of Jesus.

Are you surprised by this confession seeing as how you're on a Christian website?

Actually both of you have been providing defenses for your selves and your beliefs and even trying to criticize us... it is clear that no you are not simply trying to show the love of your god. But your god weeps as he burns his loved ones in ovens.... so spare me that love if you will.

I don't roll that way either bro.

The content of your posts would seem to indicate otherwise.

But, that is just my opinion.

If only they could predict the stock market, as well as they claim to read the minds of others.

I sin not only in deed and word but in thought. And you are right, each time I do, I am convicted by God and I repent and keep moving forward

When I am weak, He is strong.

You are convicted by God, repent - are, of course, forgiven, each and every time - and "keep moving forward" in exactly the same direction. Until the next sin, and the next, and the next. And always without any sign of apology towards the slighted party, or an admission of having made a mistake.

Yes, I can see it clearly: repentence and confession make you so much more like Jesus.

And you too will be ignored from here on out. I thank you for sharing with me what you have and wish you the best.

And you too shall be ignored by me from here on out. So please do not address me publicly in these forums. If you do, your posts will be ignored.

I wish you the best.

Soon the stock market will be the least of people's concerns. Trust.
