You are absolutely right, I of course have always been wrong about everything, and of course none of you could ever be wrong about anything, I am very sorry for posting.....

:o I'm flabbergasted, honestly!!! I'm sorry, but I cannot talk to you. I do not hate you. I feel sorry for you....

I pray that God will heal your pain......

My friend. I would suggest you have something akin to a persecution complex.
Even your veiled admission of breaking forum rules shows that. I think you are probably under the illusion that you were somehow "sent" here,(you hinted at that in an earlier post somewhere among the myriad of your rantings) If you feel you are on some kind of crusade for the truth as you see it don,t you think you would have been equipped to deal with the opposing views to your position?
I would suggest that you were in fact "brought" to our forum by divine providence.Have you considered that possibility? Have you considered that the Lord of Glory in his gracious mercy may in fact have displayed before your very eyes the truth of His gospel? Did ypou read "CCWoodys" post? Have you even looked at the passages of scripture cited and read them in their context.
I have reported some of your posts because i see yopu sliding down the slope of being banned from CF. I really wouldn't want that to happen to you

Truth is Truth, and I am of another breed, some other wind blown, missown seed, not akin to reality, foreign to sanity, apart from reality, known by no one, myself more, and more.

I do not care if I die, if I live, or why, I see no road, no paths to walk, I hear no sounds, no voice that talks, I am not, and I am, and neither is an option which I strive to command.

No connection, no stage, only rejection, only rage, self despising, despising self, who is to say, who will prevail?

Not I, a voice cries from within, NOT I, Not I, Not I.

Who will win?

Not I, Not I, Not I, cries the voice from within, Not I, Not I, Not I.....

You know, PE, your own poetry looks to me like double-mindedness spoken about in the bible. Christ is the one who holds our victory, our ability to prevail. We need not rely on ourselves or others. We can take His word for it.

Christ also is the one who knows us inside and out. He can search our hearts and know our deepest secrets, despair and depression. He is the only one we need to answer to, our Audience of One.

Lord, I pray you would heal PE's pain. He is valuable and loved. Bless PE today, Lord, with your presence and walk close with PE that he can see your beauty, Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

I think he just needs to lighten up & not take himself so seriously.

I think he just needs to lighten up & not take himself so seriously.

I need to find soem TRUE Christian brothers and sisters in Christ, who will BE True Brothers and sisters in Christ.

I need to find TRUE freiends who will BE true friends, and NOT stab me in the back.

I need to find sincere CHRISTIAN people who ARE really sincere Christian People.

IN Christian forums I want to be a part of a place where the PEOPLE who claim to be Christians ARE really Christians, NOT people who when in a position of authority in the forums, abuse thier power to edit other peoples posts, replacing the original texts, posted by the original author, with text which violates forum rules, ultimately causing that member to be banned from the forums.

I am by no means perfect, and regardless of how long one has been a Christian, one will mess up from time to time, and no matter who you are the devil will torment you, he does me, ona regular basis, anyone who says he doesn't bother them is a liar.

I am NOT in any hurry to argue with anyone any longer, Rick, you and I have had our fairt share of battles in the past, I've been sarcastic and hateful many times, and you must admit that you have also been sarcastic and hateful many times as well, BUT none of it has ever been any good for either of us, so I am finished with it all.

When I say I want to die, I do, I do not want to be me anymore, I am fed up with me, I hate myself, I hate everything about me, BUT I love who Christ Jesus is in me, and who I ought to be in him, I want to die to myself completley, and live unto Christ Jesus, and be all that he has purposed me to be.

I do NOT want to argure doctrine with anyone anymore, I know what I believe is sound doctrine, and I know why I believe it is sound doctrine, I have a mandate from God to work out my OWN salvation with fear and trembling, it is up to everyone else to do the same for themselves.

I no longer attend church, all I have found there is more and more disagreement over doctrine.

In MY Own Honest Opinion whetehr or not someone is a calvinist, or an armenian, or a Baptist, or whatever, does not matter, what matters is are you CHRISTS?

Have you been born again?

Have you confessed your sins, and acknowledged Jesus as the crucified sacrifice for those sins,a dn confessed him as your risen Lord and Savior?

Have you been washed in the blood of Jesus?

Have you been Baptized by full immersion in water?

Now I am certain some will disagree with what I have said, BUT this is what I beleive, you have to go by what you believe.., and by the things you have been taught, BUT we must have our faith settled in the word of God, and what he teaches us first.

Otto, you have a blessed day in the Lord......

My greatest pain is not from within, or from personal issues.

My greatest pain is from the condition of the modern day denominational body of Christ.

My heart is very deeply grieved by the complacency, and uncaring attitude of many modern day Christians, who have absolutely NO concern whatsoever for the lost, or for the huirting in the world, my greatest pain is over the absolute disregard in the body of Christ about sin in the body of Christ.

PE. You really need to find a church. There is no such thing as a desert island christian. Being a christian is being part of a body and part of a local fellowship.
Satan is described in scripture as a lion and lions loves to separate one member of a group and huint it down and devour it. You are in grave danger. There is no such thing as the perfect church or the perfect christian which is precisely why you need to be part of a group

I truly appreciate your concern, when I say I do not attend Church, I mean in the sense of one specific local body.

The Church my wife and I had been members of for the past 3 years recently disbanded when the building we were using for worship services was suddenly sold out from under us with very lttle prior notice of that sale.

Our Pastors were informed of the sale, and were asked to move out of the building with only a 14 day notice.

After much prayer, my wife and I felt that God was calling us into full time ministry and we left our home church to go around to some of our areas different non denominational, Pentecostal, Full Gospel, charismatic churches to introduce oursleves and the ministry God has called us into to the Pastors of those churches.

WE are also seeking God for direction about where we are to be, and under whose Spiritual covering HE wants us under.

So we are attending Church, at different churches, we are just NOT submitted to one specifrci Pastor of one specific local body of believers at this time, but when God shows us where he wants us, then we will make that personal commitment to that local Pastor, and to that local body of believers.

Ok. I see, PE. Thanks for the clarification.

It is hard to see sin running rampant in the body of Christ. Many of us "moderns" are very selfish and m-tv minded (is what I call it). We live in a culture of materialism and I sometimes wonder if the younger a person is, the harder it is to see it and its devastating effects.

My heart, mission if you will, is for the lost. I pray for my own family members as well as friends and have been praying for years. The other place where my heart remains is with children. They are so spiritually open, but often we grown-ups get in their way with our busy schedules, agendas and lives.......anyway, enough of my soapboxing.....

I pray the Lord will lead you and your wife into how you can be used to change the body of Christ for His glory. We all need encouragement at times, don't we? I know I do. Sometimes all we can do is have an affect in our own arena of influence, and that is why God places each of us exactly where He wants us.
