Judgmental

Maybe at least, unless you've already done so, you could post a prayer request in the prayer section on this site. I'll pray for you also.

Btw, I've been in many desperate situations, but God has so far given a last minute solution...so THERE'S STILL hope...don't give up yet.

I'm scared to do that because I know that if I were to do that I will be banned from this site forever by either the moderators or by one of the aministrators as they along with a lot of other people have made it very clear to me that believing in God and prayer is nothing more than a psychological delusion or at least that is the impression that I have gotten from everyone based upon how I have been treated so far.

The mods and admins have? Which ones?

Well. there are plenty of people here who don't think it's a delusion or anything, and they DO pray for people.
Don't forget there are a lot of atheists on this site. Try not to let anything like that phase you.

Within the Body, we are called to righteously judge all things. 1 Corinthians 2:15-16 says: “The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment: For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

Thus we point out sin as sin, none greater than any other. None unforgiven by the Christ if you have received Him as Lord and Savior.

We cannot condemn, for final judgment belongs to God.

So yes, we are to embrace to exhort, to lift up one another. But we are also to call each other to righteousness and hold each other accountable for upholding the bloodstained banner of Christ.

This belongs in the Christians Only section.

I'm scared to say which one's because I'm sure that if I were to say which ones then they will just try to find a way to get me banned from this site forever in retaliation for mentioning any of their names.

Why? It was a reply to the OP. I don't know how it got to be the first post cause it was in response to the OP.

RDonovan, what kind of work experience have you had? What training and experience do you have?

RDonovan, what kind of work experience have you had? What training and experience do you have?

I've studied liberal arts, business, and law enforcement at Normandale Community College in the early 1990's, I've also attended a school called Academy Education Center where I have received a certificate in Microcomputer Support.

That is nothing more than a fancy name for business and clerical as it's main course of focus was office work and on being an excutive assistant.

I've also been to Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for Truck Driver Training.

Employment wise I have worked pretty much any job that I could. Since August of 2002 I have been an over the road truck driver. Prior to that I have done Internet Technical Support in a call center environment. I have also been a customer service representative in a call center environment.

I have also done production work, data entry, been a cashier, a school bus driver, a night auditor for a motel as well as a van driver. I've also worked both in retail and in fast food, but that was long time ago.

I have also been a locator for a cable tv company and I have done some security work as well.

Over the last couple of years I have been studying business and sales & marketing and at the moment I am working on trying to start my own businesses both online and offline.

I've also done temp work for temp agencies in the past.

 

[Andreusz]

I am sure you must have gone to employment agencies. Are there really no jobs for truck drivers, bus drivers or business clerks in Albuquerque or surrounds?

 

[rdonovan1]

I forgot to mention that I also have my A+, I-Net+, and Network+ certifications and I have built computers from scratch and I have repaired them as well.

I also have a class A CDL license with my hazmat, tanker, and passenger endorsements on it. I had Double/Triples on it until recently but due to a mistake with the MVD I currently am missing that endorsement and am going to need to take that up with them regarding that issue so that I can get that corrected.

Prior to moving to New Mexico I also had my school bus endorsement on my license.

Much of what I have learned that I have not learned either in a formal school or through life experience like on the job has been through self study.

I am an avid reader and I love to read and learn pretty much anything and everything that I can. My favorite topic to study is of course the subject of women and the art of seduction and because of that along with all of my business studies I have since become very interested in the topic of marketing to women and because of my interest in things like seduction and attraction along with my interest in sales & marketing I have become very interested in the topics of psychology, NLP, Hypnosis, Human behavior, and influence & persuasion.

^ It sounds to me as if you'd be an asset to any company that requires an experienced driver of large vehicles. I'd be amazed to hear that there aren't any such companies in or near Albuquerque.

I've been told that I would make a really good manager. I'm not sure as to why I am not getting any jobs as of yet.

Maybe I am not presenting myself properly on paper or in person. That is the only thing that I can think of outside of needing more formal education.

^ Personally, if I was in your position, and I faced starvation if I couldn't find a job, I wouldn't hold out for a managerial job; I'd take whatever I could get, and try to work my way up to manager from within the company.
Forgive me if I've misinterpreted your position, I'm just going on what you've written.

I understand and no offense is taken at all. I am at the moment trying to find whatever I can find, but at the moment it is really not looking very good and at the moment I am really starting to think that my best option is to start my own businesses.

From what I have seen so far, that is looking like it may be my only real option if I am going to really get anywhere in life.

I guess that you could say that it is time for me to completely reinvent myself and to apply both my education and my past experiences into something new and more wonderful than I could ever have imagined.

OK so my thought is, If someone is Gay,or had an abortion, or is engaging in sexual relations with someone and they are not married. Or if you lie, or steal, or cheat someone, or smoke, or drink, or get a tattoo, or curse. Aren't they all the same? In the lines of sin i mean. Isn't a sin a sin. So shouldn't real Christians not be judgemental or shouldn't they not condemn someone who is in a sense in the same amount of sin? Like my friend who is gay, yet goes to church and believes in God, shouldn't i embrace him? Because we all know i have sinned. I am not better then he is. He is no better then me.

Of course you should embrace him.

By why would embracing him mean embracing his vices?

If you mean embracing him as justifying his behavior, then no, because you are not truly embracing this person.

For instance I can embrace someone who is committing adultery, but In no way would I justify what he is doing. If I do, then I'm not following the Gospel.

Many people read the "judge not, lest ye be judged", but tend to forgot the rest of the verse which says:

You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye." - Matthew 7:5


So Jesus not not telling us to never Judge, as that would be impossible(nearly all the posts on this forum, from Christian and non-Christian are types of judgments). People who have correct teaching and knowledge can judge in certain matters of the flock. Otherwise the apostles would never have appointed bishops in areas of the Holy See(Polycarp, Clement of Rome, Linus, Igantius, Evaristus, Papias, Cletus, etc) if they did not see fit that they could judge correctly in matters and oversee the flock.

I myself an currently reading Eusebius's Church History(Historia Ecclesiae) and the apostles put in GREAT efforts to put in overseers and bishops to judge and correct the flock, as well as fight heresies. The apostles would not have done this unless they saw certain followers in Christ to judge correctly in things.

Tattoos are sin? And what about an abortion that was tragically necessary?

Other than that, yes all are sins. But only the gay one is excused away or demanded not to be a sin in any regards. Even to the point of secular laws forcing the gay agenda onto Christians.

In the lines of sin i mean. Isn't a sin a sin.

Um, stealing a snickers is different than "jacking some fool" at the point of a gun is it not? I mean, seriously.

So shouldn't real Christians not be judgemental or shouldn't they not condemn someone who is in a sense in the same amount of sin?

Um, the sinner is condemning themself. It is not a bad thing to point that out. That looks like one of the reasons the New Testament letters were written.

Like my friend who is gay, yet goes to church and believes in God, shouldn't I embrace him?

Yes. Church is just a bit of time in a building as you are describing it.

Because we all know i have sinned. I am not better then he is. He is no better then me.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Remember that?

And accoding to Jesus, encouraging a person TO sin is a worse sin than just sinning.

Do you need the scripture?
