  • Empowered to Act: Why Christians Should Change the World

    'Sadly, the church is full of discouraged and often defeated Christians.' bec. you are given a SNAKE when you ask for a fish, a stone when you ask for bread & the door is SHUT ON YOUR FACE when you knock. when you ask a question, the answer is SIN. when you fail, the answer is SIN, when you suffer, the answer is SIN , when you ask whY, the answer is SIN, when you disagree, the answer...more

    'Sadly, the church is full of discouraged and often defeated Christians.'

    bec. you are given a SNAKE when you ask for a fish, a stone when you ask for bread & the door is SHUT ON YOUR FACE when you knock.

    when you ask a question, the answer is SIN.
    when you fail, the answer is SIN,
    when you suffer, the answer is SIN
    , when you ask whY, the answer is SIN,
    when you disagree, the answer is SIN,
    when you are seeking, the answer is SIN.
    when you make a mistake, THE ANSWER IS SIN.

    christianity is full of FEAR, SHAME, BLAME, GUILT. it replace common sense with religion. christianity is full of arrogant self righteous christians who are experts in quoting a verse but they don't know how the verse they quote will apply in the real world.

    'give your 10%, & you will be successful' (pastors get rich)
    'i can DO ALL THINGS...' (how can you do all things when you don't have the skills)
    do the will of god (its a guessing game)
    people are poor, suffering, brainwashed (bec. of sin)
    'don't question the word of god JUST DO IT! disobedience is a SIN ( freedom of choice is stifled)
    dont decide for yourself that is a SIN (god wants the best for you but pastors decide to get all the money)
    deny yourself SELF IS A SIN! (that's why you 'did not receive' bec. you are told to GIVE AWAY & sacrifice)
    be christ like (what is that? be a doormat? don;t speak up, turn the other cheek)
    run another mile for your brethren (that's laziness bec. pastors don't want to work just give 10%)
    practice ascetism (the more you sacrifice, deny yourself the more holy you become, the more blessed you are)
    THAT IS NOT BIBLICAL

    in short, christians shove these verse down your throat & tell you to obey.

    then they will answer you & blame you that 'YE LACK FAITH' 'YOU SINNED' 'YOU DISOBEDEYED' 'YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF' when the results DID NOT materialize. but when you see the same christians break their own rules THEY DEFEND THEMSELVES & say 'YE NOT JUDGE ME.'less

  • Should Evangelicals Apologize to Native Americans?

    when I was young western films & cowboys demonize the native american indians. now I realized that NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS ARE THE TRUE TRUE people of the NEW WORLD. WHITE AMERICANS ARE THE immigrants, they came from europe. the MAYANS, incas are the true americans. those white people in south american came from europe. NOT ONLY APOLOGY BUT REPATRIATION

    GOD IS NOT THE ABUSER?!! where did 'self denial' come from? didn't christ say 'deny yourself'. and that's why I got fricking brainwashed in following obeying 'self denial'. when you did not receive the blessings christians call it 'ye lack faith'. where did 'ye not lean on to your understanding' come from? the bible didn't the bible say OBEY? and if you don't obey god will punish you? ...more

    didn't the bible say be christ-like? how do you do that ? be A DOORMAT.
    didn't the bible say 'better to give' than to receive? but you see the frcking pastors televangelist drive luxury cars & live in frking mansions.

    This just compounds the tragedy. We must affirm both the sovereign power and the loving character of God,

    that is JUST RIGHT christianity COMPOUNDS the problem. you are already greiving, lost your home, your family, then a christian like PAT ROBERTSON will deliver a 'good news' of 'well this tragedy is a punishment from god.'

    JOHN 9:1-8 as he went along, he saw a man BLIND FROM BIRTH. his disciples asked "rabbi, who SINNED, THIS man or his parents, that he is born blind?'

    john9:16 - the pharisees said ' this man is not from god for he does not keep the sabbath. he is a sinner

    john9:24 - the second time they summoned the man who had been blind. ... "we know this man is a sinner'

    john 9:34 - to this they replied ' you were steeped in sin at birth.' how dare you lecture us. and they threw him out.

    luke 13: now there were some present at the time who told jesus about the galileans whose blood pilate had mixed their sacrifices. 'do you think that these galileans were WORSE SINNERS than all the galileans bec. they suffered this way?less

    haitian made a pact with the enemy that is why god is punishing them
    god smite sharon with a heart attack
    there will be 'mass murder' in the US
    there will be a tsunami in the NW of the US

    what do you call these statements from a 'chrsitian'. full of hate & judgement. and then you don't rebuke this lover of money using religion for greed.

    is his job to judge & attack people? it's ok for him to say it but when somebody else says it, ye not judge ye not judge.

    if you don't want to be judge them practice what you preach. simply as that.less

    christians could not answer life & instead of helping they are making life more difficult. when you ask them about an issue facing a person, christianity would say SIN SIN SIN or they would quote a verse that they don;t know how to apply it in the real world.

    but when the same are told to you you don't like it. you use 'ye not judge me' hypocritesless

    by the way, christ healed a crippled woman on the sabbath in luke 13. does that qualify as 'hardening' the heart? what about the synagogue leader (aka pastor) who came out blowing his mouth accusing condemning SIN SIN SIN. it is a sin to heal on a sabbath. ISN'T HIS HEART hardened? $tupid article

    When people harden their hearts in Scripture it just doesn’t go well for them. really? I obeyed giving money to charities & churches & the only people who 'go well' for them are the pastors who make $100,000 /year. who made the choice for pastor televangelist to make $100,000/year? oh yeah pastors. $tupid article

    another is if I have an enemy should I obey the scripture like gideon did?I should collect pots & light them with fire & attack my enemy? i will be charged with arson if & when I do that. and again christianit will say 'YOU DID IT TO YOUR SELF' YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF. SIN SIN SIN. $tupid article

    what about SELF DENIAL? I don't see pastors, christians DENY THEMSELVES. they grab what they deem theirs. they say about being a servant but pastors don't have a job. they don't want to be told WHAT TO DO by upper management. they just stick out their hands & exploit give your 10% or you are robbing god. but you see them drive luxury cars. who's robbing who.
    I obeyed that 'self denial' & the only result is I missed opportunities and that is why 'it didn't go well for me' Stupid article

    harden our hearts? oh why do you want to be treated like a doormat? NO!! $tupid articleless
