Are you seriously so delusional as to think you have some special, personal revelation that is different from the experiences of people who are sitting here telling you that, when they were Christians, they would have said exactly what you are saying now? 


Yeah, I think she is telling you exactly that.  But then she isn't really living in the real world if you know what I mean.

Since you are familiar with the bible you will know that Jesus said that many will say lord lord we cast out demons in your name but he will say away from me I NEVER KNEW YOU.  Feeling like you have had a revelation and knowing who God is different. Your feelings will lie to you but God won't. You are sinners and God loves you and sent His son jesus to die for your sins. Then He rose with all power and authority. Your feelings in the matter will not change that. You must repent and accept the gift. Now you may continue to throw your verbal abuse if that makes you feel better.

I'm not angry. I'm just being mean because you're a self-righteous liar and a fucking asshole. My calling you isn't what makes you that; your words and actions are what does it. Fuck off.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Maybe I should start telling people who is and isn't a true Christian.

Let's get started.

Who has eaten shrimp?
Who has worn clothes made of more than one fabric?
Who has a tattoo?
Who has worked on a Sunday?

That's just round 1. How many have I ousted so far?

Well, I work at Red Lobster (endless shrimp is on right now), so I break 3 of those just doing my job. I also got another tattoo started on Tuesday; it's a cover-up for my first tattoo, which is a cross with a dove and some other religious bullshit. That's, like, tattooing and blasphemy all in one go, right?

Ah sorry, you're not a True Christian™. Your punishment is to live in the real world and make your own decisions.

If any Christians survived round 1 let me know, and I'll come up with round 2.

Don't worry, honey.  You can tell me I was never a christer if you like.  I only wish that it were true.  


Unfortunately I had to get dressed up and go to church and sing and stuff until I was about five years old.  I got off easy.  But there are people here who were bible reading, witnessing and preaching Christians well into their adult years.  To tell them they were never Christians is just another side of your wishful thinking.  You just go on ignoring anything in the world which conflicts with your fervent belief.  Cuz everyone knows when you truly believe shit fervently enough then you are entitled to say what that shit is and how it works.

Dodgy

If I dress up like a man that doesn't make me a man. Being in a group doesn't make you a part of the group. You may feel as though your statments are in cinflict with my belifea but they are not. A christian is someone who knows God and has accepted His death and resserrction on the cross. If you never had a relationship with Him then you were never a christian.

I am still none of the things you claim and you still need a savior for your sins.

A christian is not one because of the dos and don'ts they have preforemed. A christian is someone who has accepted Christ death and ressurection for their sins. As a result of this they come in to a right relationship with God. Jesus perfect life (in which He fullfilled all of the law) and His death is accredited to those who believe. So your list is fullfilled in Christ life. I am now free to fullfill the law of christ because I am no longer a slave to sin.

You either don't understand or refuse to understand what a christian is. So I have fullfulled round 1 through my savior Christ Jesus.
