Wareagle: Yes, I have. (?)
Whitestone: Dude, yeah you have a good point. However, this is a relationship with God and Jesus that we talking about. We are talking about things that are eternal that can exist everywhere at once. When you're talking about God and Jesus, you're talking about breaking rules. Under the guidance and leadership of Jesus, we can succeed.
Don't ever try to put all the rules of the universe into one book. THAT IS UTTERLY FOOLISH. I KNOW that you MUST TALK TO GOD HIMSELF, and you must communicate with Jesus himself.
If you set up rules as to how to exactly connect to God, you are going to fail. You know why? Everyone's perception is different, you idiot. People are going to not be able to find the answer they are looking for, and they are going to turn away and never connect to God. This is why you must approach each individual person and help them find their own way by helping them find their own unique ideal. Each person must use their own unique power, their own gifts and their own perception. By connecting to their ideal they can connect to Jesus, and then connect to God.
If you tell everyone how to live, and you make everyone read a book and you make everyone follow a specific set of rules, YOU WILL NOT BRING ANYONE CLOSER TO GOD. You will only bring them closer to the bible, or the church or whatever. Regarding what we are talking about, difference must be recognized. However, by maintaining fellowship after everyone has become closer to God, only then can everyone come together to form a new "government".
Rules may be temporarily made after everyone has been connected, but in order to find this connection rules need to be ignored.

I didn't see orignal post if poster called you name, but I rather doubt it. You asked us to be kind to you and you are being unkind by the above statement by saying that to a poster. Why ask for respect if you don't have any for others?
There are Christians who do think there are rules that must be followed to be a Christian. They are wrong.
Get over it, and get to a Christ centered church, which does not have rules, etc.
There are denominations that have tons of rules. Don't go there!
The only rules that are in the bible are in the Old Testament and was to the Hebrews only; Gods chosen people. The law is past, however, there are believers who do practice as best they can some of those rules (laws) in the Old Testament. They keep the Sabbath according to Leviticus, and many other things as contained in the Law in the Old Testament which is prior to Jesus' coming. They are much a minority, and if you don't like rules, don't go to a Messianic church where such might be espoused.
No one makes anyone read the bible or go to church, except parents. Sounds like you've been burnt or had a friend is, and blaming all Christians for garbage that happened to you.
Most likely of course without a clue of what's in the bible, you say not to read it, nor do as God commands, you are going by probably having been offended by ONE Christian, maybe TWO, I doubt you've been in a church as again, don't know what occurs in church, so I'm guessing it was a Christian who OFFENDED you.
Christians OFFEND people all the time including each other. If such occured, let it go and move on, and know that if you want to know WHO God is, and what Jesus is like and what he desires of you, crack the bible, or your grasping from the ungodly world what you think God wants which many if not most very wrong, and basically is a deception; which you need to see thru, but can't without the bible.
Some do say; do unto others, do good to your neighbor, don't hurt anyone, etc, those are very good things, coming from the ungodly world, but the same are also adding God is in everyone and everything, and you don't need any truth but my truth.
Your doing what Romans says, exchanging the truth of God for lies.
You are turned of from the bible, because one, you haven't read it, 2, some Christian offended you, or some Christian misquoted, or did not reveal the truth of what was said (as there are many Christians who do not know the bible either) and do same as you, hear stuff, think that's what God says and hate it, or take to it, and preach it and its false. They blame it on God or other Christians, what they hear, and have no clue to what is in the bible to determine things.
If I looked at you and said, well, i've read what you have to say, and since you do not read the bible, that means that all who do not read the bible feel exactly the same way you do. That's called prejudice which is what you are full of towards christians, the gathreing of chrisitans is a building, and the bible, with no knowledge.

How do you follow him if you don't know what he wants of you? And how can you be guided, when your not certain whether due to your psychic ability if you are talking and listening to demons or not (which I explained in earlier post such is detestable to God, and so should not be practiced (not that you are detestable, but the practice of such is.)

and i ask for like the 3rd time now, what are you gonna do with the rapists, incestors, murderers etc.
You have no answer; God does, we know it too, but you have no way to do anything about such; and so how does that bit play into your one world religion?
Again, I'll remind you, you asked us to be gentle with us and then made such a statement as quoted above.
If you wish respect, be respectful. Many of us will be respectful any way; but if my tone is out of line, it's cause I'm human and fail, cause when I read what you said to another poster; well, you know.
You reap what you sow.
