All Christians are protected from such things if we trust in Christ.

It's basic human biology, I learned it in year 7 when I was 12, over 35 years ago.

Well your patterns let you down badly with your previous post because you didn't see the few I mentioned and there are many more as well. 13 means nothing except it's the number after 12 and the number before 14. As for a name have you considered Pareidolian or Patternician? because they both relate to words already in use.

I never suggested anyone demonised the number 13. I am suggesting you put way to much into such things and you are missing what God is really telling you.

Wow Keltoi, how is it that you have come to be so judgemental? Did you somehow become anointed with this ability or perhaps raised or perhaps even learned somewhere how to be so judgemental? I am just wondering, because the Jesus I know wasn't at all like the way you behave and treat others. Christ even so much as went and hung out with those who were cast out of society. How is it that you follow in his example? Or is it just that much more important that you judge others than mind your own path? Are the things that others think and speak of you more important than that of thine pathway in life? It certainly seems this is the case if I go from the example of our communications from the short time I have allowed you to interact with me. And where does all of this come from, it certainly isn't from any source that is like that of the Christ I have come to know. I wonder, where does it all come from, these judgements of constant.

Let me guess where this goes form here....

I will get gang piled but only after you now lay into me some more, I will be hanged up upon by all the others in here correct? And yet what is it that really is the underlying cause for such judgement and separation? I have the answer to this question, but please, first come and reply as you will, in constant.

Love, Light and Power,

Where did I judge you? Please point it out and I will either edit it or clarify it for you.
I think you went a bit far with a part of this, you don't know me, you don't know who I hang around with, and you don't know the places I've been with the people I have hung around with. This appears as though you have judged me.

I heard a story about a church, who's pastor was retiring and they were getting a new pastor, anyways, that day there was a homeless man in dirty, ragged sitting at the entrance to the church, and many went "around" him, avoiding him, others looked on him with disdain and disgust, none of them chose to talk to, or reach, or help him, well, guess what, the man, when the church service started, went and sat in the back row, and guess what, when the new pastor was introduced the homeless sat up from the back row, walked up to the podium and said, Hello, my name is such and such, and I'm your new pastor...

Something wrong there...

God Bless!

Do you think there's a difference between the two? I am of the opinion that if one is a true Christian, a new-creation-lead-by-the-Spirit Christian then one will naturally (given their new nature) exemplify Christ-like actions and behaviors. What do you think?

I think due to teaching from the pulpit limiting how "christ like" we can become, I think there is a difference depending on how one defines "christian" in their own mind.

Yes, the Bible teaches that a everyone who follows Christ will bear good fruit. Claiming to follow Christ and not doing what He says is deception (Matthew 7:21-27) and will end in ruin.
