"dwm1120, I wonder why you posted my previous comment to imagineer about his going to hell in another thread? I would appreciate your leaving me alone please. YOUR opinion about my "attitude, compassion, & credibility" is meaningless to me. I have but one judge. No one knows what is in my heart except God. "
Debbie:
"Wrong again Imagineer, a person who blackmails someone gets something in return. If you decide, even on your last day on earth that you don't want to believe in Jesus, guess what? Debbie is still not going to lose any sleep over it. If your parents had to allow you to be sacrificed for someone else's life, don;'t you think they would demand something in return for your life, such as "BELIEVING" they gave your life for theirs? Really, for all your knowledge you have little common sense. No offense, but only your parents will miss you when you are in hell."
First of all Debbie, if what I thought was meaningless to you I doubt you would have told me it was. You are correct in that only God is your judge in then end. Again, you are correct in saying that nobody knows what is in your heart except God. However, did you ever suspect that people (especially those that are not christians) have a window to your heart through what you say and do? As I have been accused of taking your post out of context, I will now discuss the post line by line.
Debbie:
"Wrong again Imagineer, a person who blackmails someone gets something in return. "
I have not yet figured out how Imagineer has blackmailed, but it sounds as if something ill will happen to him as a result (go to hell perhaps?).
Debbie:
"If you decide, even on your last day on earth that you don't want to believe in Jesus, guess what? Debbie is still not going to lose any sleep over it."
Debbie doesnt care. I can only attribute this to a lack of compassion, which is not characteristic of a christian.
Debbie:
"If your parents had to allow you to be sacrificed for someone else's life, don;'t you think they would demand something in return for your life, such as "BELIEVING" they gave your life for theirs? "
I understand what you are saying Debbie, but this will not convince an atheist (especially Imagineer, whose intent is only to stir the pot).
Debbie:
"Really, for all your knowledge you have little common sense. No offense, but only your parents will miss you when you are in hell."
First, Imagineer has no common sense? Secondly, only his parents will miss him when he goes to hell? Or maybe, Debbie doesnt care whether Imagineer goes to hell or not. Debbie, you dont know what may happen in his life, and to condemn Imagineer to hell at age 14 is pretty bold.
Debbie:
"dwm1120, I wonder why you posted my previous comment to imagineer about his going to hell in another thread? "
To answer your question - it is not your place to condemn Imagineer to hell. Isnt your God the judge of that?
Debbie:
"I would appreciate your leaving me alone please. "
A definite loss of credibility.
Debbie:
"DMW 111, why are you trying to stir up trouble by quoting what I wrote in another thread OUT OF CONTEXT. I question your motive. It is surely not connected in any way to love. What I said to an atheist is true. He denies Jesus so he is going to hell. It's backed up by scripture. please leave me alone & pick a fight with someone else."
Debbie:
"DMW 111, why are you trying to stir up trouble by quoting what I wrote in another thread OUT OF CONTEXT. "
See the comments above. I discuss every sentence of the text (from the thread I 'took out of context').
Debbie:
"I question your motive. "
My motive is to question any inconsistency I read.
Debbie:
"It is surely not connected in any way to love. "
Disagreement is a lack of love?
Debbie:
"What I said to an atheist is true. He denies Jesus so he is going to hell. It's backed up by scripture."
Is it your place, Debbie, to make this judgement?
Debbie:
"please leave me alone & pick a fight with someone else."
Debbie can no longer justify her argument. I would not be surprised if someone soon posted that Satan was again infecting the forum. It seems that when the boat is rocked it is Satan's fault. I see this as a legitimate forum in which one can express their views in a civil manner. All I have to say, is that you had better think before typing because you dont know who might be reading. I am sure the last thing you want to do is turn someone off to christianity. Debbie, I am not picking on you. Just be aware that the more defensive your mood becomes, the less a non-christian will listen to you.
