Howyadoin,

What can I say except... Bravo!

Folded, spindled and mutilated, and you didn't have to call upon the awesome power of the Pit. You're scary good...

I don't see how you can resist forgiveness?

Let me tell you a story that was told to me by my father, and it was told to him by mathew, it was told to him by Jesus, and told to him by his father (God) as well as everybodies father here.


Matt 18:23-35
23 "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
26 "The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.'
27 The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 "But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.
29 "His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'
30 "But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 "Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.
33 Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?'
34 In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
(NIV)

Can you forever deny the word of God?

I can nolonger question your Christianity, because you have no faith. But now I can question your patriotism!

Can you ignore the teachings in the bible, while you are living in a nation founded under God?

Without God this nation didn't exsists, when you forsake him, will he not forsake you?

Anybody who lives in a country founded under God, and yet does not listen to his words, and scorns the one who tells him, has no place in this country!

You anarchist, nah yet you anti-christ! Leave my country, and leave my guidence!

I have clearly set up for you a set path on stable ground, and you spit in my face and go walking in the woods.

When you die, I hope you can tell God what you say about forgiveness, as easily as you tell me.

Michael Ellis, if a thread is closed, it's closed for a reason. Don't start a new thread because you think there's anything to add. If a moderator decided to close a thread, there IS nothing to add within that same forum.

peewee__RotA, if you don't stop your witnessing crap right fucking now, you may get banned even faster than you already will be.

This thread is closed.

Pssst...

Howyadoin,

Great Debates
For long-running discussions of the great questions of our time. This is also the place for religious debates and (if you feel you must) witnessing.

Read it.
Learn it.
Live it.
