  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Lord is faithfull (even when we're not).
All of His promises are yes and amen (whether we choose to believe it or not).
He works all things together for the good of those who love Him (He's working even when we can't see Him).

Amen. Read some of my testimony if you haven't already, and pay particular attention to how God treated me after I did some stuff. It's at:

http://www.christianforums.com/t1324549-my-jesus-my-savior.html



I want to encourage you to just do your best to have a relationship with God, to love Him to the best of your ability, and everything else will follow. The devil can come in and make loving God very difficult… He can make it about following rules, and ‘being pure.’ Yes Jesus said if you love Him to obey Him.



But if you read where He said that at the end of John, you will see His command… which is to love others as He has loved us…. Which again the devil can try to make very difficult and even insane… the devil will try to fear you into doing things that you don’t have the power to do, and then even if you do try… it will never be good enough… and you may sometimes succeed… but mostly you will fail… God wants to make you a new creation… that just does the right things because that is who you are.. a ‘slave’ to righteousness…



He wants to make you into someone that is so motivated by Love and Real Compassion that it will drive you to do the impossible… By Love, not fear. And nobody can love people the way that Jesus loves people without knowing first how He can love. That’s why the two greatest commandments are to Love God with all of your heart mind and soul.. and to love your neighbor as you love yourself… the second one sums up the whole law… which by the way, Jesus fulfilled for you… so you don’t have to.



But if you want to try to do what is right in God’s eyes, just try to love others as you love yourself… but a lot of people can’t even do that… because they hate who they are… and they want to die. I told God that I knew it was right to love others… but I didn’t know how… and I couldn’t love them like I loved me… because I just wanted to die… And the Lord taught me… “Son, you just do your best to love me the way that you know how.” So I did...



I figured that when I want a relationship with someone… first I am nice to them.. I respect them… I write them letters, and poems… like to my wife… (which, I need to do more often! LOL) I give them gifts and encourage them… so that is what I did with God… I would tell Him that I like His creation… I like the things that He made.. I would sing Him songs, and even draw Him pictures. In turn He would give me the Love and Compassion and Faith by Relationship to motivate me to give Him gifts, and He would give me gifts too. A real relationship… not a religious system to try to stay pure or ‘right.’



So as this went on, I learned that the more I kicked it with God, the more He would rub off on me, and become more of a part of who I am. The more I became like Him, the more I would be able to love myself… though I would actually be loving Him in me… yet as one with me… with that I could love others a lot better. And as more time went on He helped me understand that when I am ready, He will give me a new commandment, and that is to Love others the way that I have seen Him Love me… With His Power, His Gifts, and His miracles. If you keep clinging to Him and trusting Him, He will make your mistakes only draw you closer to Him, and He will teach you from them, like a Perfect Father should teach His child.



I hope all this helps… I know sometimes I get going and next thing I know I have a book! LOL

God bless you in everyway. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

I thank you all for your prayers :) You all are such nice sweet people. I ask special prayers for a young person, that this young person shall know the wrongs from rights. Pray for me that I can grew strong from all that has happened between me and this person...and that this young person will feel Christ's love.
