But the day will come when he will return and then we all can see and believe. I do believe in the rapture, i believe in the blink of an eye, some will be here, some will be gone. I am a Christian. I fall everyday. I try and pray everynight for people, freinds, family, the world itself, but sometimes I fail at that. I spent a couple years ago in church(Baptist) for a long time studying. I had questions, i needed answers. I found alot of answers. The Bible is truly astonishing...the things that you learn are overwhelming...
We all fall, no one person on this earth today is perfect or doesn't sin. The only perfect person to walk the earth was Jesus Christ. And through him we should ask for forgivness to our Father the Lord. I believe in the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. I also believe, once in Grace, Always in Grace. But because you have been baptised and asked received the Lord into your heart doesn't mean you can go out the next day and commit sin and not ask for forgiveness or repent your sins. You must walk in the ways of the Lord and his BOOK, live your life the way the Bible says to live it. I have FAITH, that is what holds me to the Lord...
I am no way perfect...i am far from being a true Christian, but i believe I am one.
I am no way trying to say anyone here is wrong on their posts...
I know their will be a day of judgement, and i Pray i am on the right side ...
I pray we are all on the right side.
But this,.. in know way, says I am trying to force anything on anyone... I was told by my Pastor at one time... "You can start the process(by witnessing), but you can't force anyone, they must come forth themselves before all and the Lord"
Just my 2 cents..."Hey, good morning TechIMO!!!"  | Heres 2 more sense, to add to your 2.
I am, in no way perfect either, and my goal is to "Become more human", with heart.
I have walked for approx. 39 yrs, and I am still working, on how to be a good, honest and curtious, thoughtful person, to myself, as well as others.
I do not have time to JUDGE anyone, but my self. Busy busy....
And I do believe we go harder, on ourselves, than anyone else EVER could.
So, What is a CHRISTIAN?????
But, another tag, like polititon, republican, demonrat, etc..
I have yet to finish, being/becoming ME, I am at work always, in the making/molding of myself, through others, as well as my own, and their shared pains and joys, thru life.....
And I Am certain, to be better Person everyday.
For this is My Reward. |

Oh boy are you off base on that staitment. BAD analogy in this case. You better look just a tiny bit to see the HUGE diff. You can have overwhelming evidence against someone that is ENTIRELY circumstancial. Thats why. Also admitting guilt is on a diff level then pleading no contest. Admitting guilt means you DID it garunteed and admitt so. Pleading no contest means you say your innocent but no way to prove otherwise. So glad the laws arent your way-sheesh.
By the way. I dont think you should look down at or think those without beliefs are lesser beings if you will. Its not your place to judge, to convert or press religion upon them, thats god's, if you believe in that anyways. Ergo what is right for you may not be for them. Its called freedom of choice/religion. Calling some one soul less, walking dead etc. Thats low blow I think you should refrain from no matter your interpitation of the words meaning.  | A BILL OF ASSERTIVE RIGHTS:
I. I have the right to judge my own behavior,thoughts, and emotions, and take responibility for their initiation and consequences upon myself.
II. I have the right to offer no reasons or excuses for justifying my behavior.
III. I have the right to judge if I AM responsible for finding solutions to Others people's problems
IV. I have the right to change my mind.
V. I have the right to make mistakes--and be responsible for them
VI. I have the right to be independent of the goodwill of others before coping with them.
VII. I have the right to say "I do not know".
VIII. I have the right to be illogical in making decisions.
XI. I have the right to say " I don't understand"
X. I have the right to say "I don't care"
Any questions?  |

One says, in my book, 1933, definition, that is: An offense: misdeamer.
To violate "THE DIVINE" law by actual transgression(To step across) or BY NEGLECT.(to disregard) LIKE WHAT "NOT IMPORTANT ANYMORE"?
Violate any rule of duty, often used with against.-(THEE)?
To effect BRING ABOUT, by way of neglect, That I Am sure.
And SYN: meaning WITH, along with together, at the same time.
And I do beleive you meant MORALE? |

I can't really respond well to these questions,...you can look into the Bible for the word Sin, it will explain better, or go by the meaning of a dictionary...You might go and talk to someone at a church if you feel the need...
I just thought i would state my opinion on this topic...But i do not want to mislead or give false docturin(if that's how you spell it...  ).

They can claim that, it was a decifering error, or whatever their excuse.
The bible is also missing "its entire" contents.
They were withheld, back when, before WE were born, by "THE SELF ELECTED FEW"
That decided, they did not fit, into their AGENDA!
ST. Thomas, was 1, of them.
And I know their isTruth, in all things we watch, read, hear, etc....
The problem, is to solve, I believe, in what? part of what, we read, hear, and watch, is TRUTH, and the other MEMOREX>>>>>(someones elses, selfish input)
I can not go to church, because, when I raise my hand, everyone looks at me LIKE I AM rude, that I want, to ask a question, of the paster, While we are all on the subject, not after, his speel.
This is not Natural, spontanious, and being Honest. From the HEART. Just more SHOW.
The Churchs of today, have become, just another "CORPORATION", needing our support, to make THEM known, NOT 'OUR FATHER"
This is not a house, where GOD, or OUR LORD, would live.
When it comes from the heart, and goes into the mind, and comes out Instananously, It is truth.
When one must pause to answer, or make you wait, for a later time. Then they are making PLANS to cover their Butt. Or, had to much time, to think, up some defense, per say. To WIN the Arguement, like "Who Knows Best"/ more?
War of Words, by ROB HALFORD. Good MAN.
Excuse me, for going on and onnn....
I will let you go, with the knowledge, that "I believe that a Man/Woman, was MURDERED,/SACRAFICED/KILLED, for other peoples, wrong doings.
That's WHY, we live in the BLAME, it on.....someone-else, society.
But, the ones responsible, are still running around, CLAIMING they are "HOLIER THAN THOU" and have, not truely, held themselves, responsible for the "MURDER" they commited.
But, I see that TIMES are changing now... Amen
Nor have they,( know whom, they ARE) thosewhom NEGLECTED, to take a stand against, those, that Were/Are responsible for, AND DID, NOTHING, to STOP, this ACT .
So, you can see, Accessary, too, still holds, a "Place for Judgement".
In which, we all now STAND today. NO?
You can still see them everywhere today, faces change, but those Googlers, that drive(now), not walking anymore, by a car accident, and get an EYEFULL, and keep going.....to "Tell" others, but Never/Rarely stop, to see if ,that "Human Being" needs/ or could use some, or their HELP.
THOU SHALL NOT KILL>>> still holds at #6, or so, on the charts(Commandments) Good Day

Any questions?  | I dont see the relevance in that? Pleading no contest still means that you stait your innocense but cant prove other wise. While admitting guilt is just that. The outcome of the plea can have quite different results in a U.S. court anyways. The jourey is there ya know. They matter MOST. They are watching what is said and how its said to find the "truth" as best as possible. There have been no contest plea's where in fact later it was proved they were innocent beyond doubt. Having pleed guilt would leave them in a diff situation. Like the 18 year old girl who's child died due to the hospitols mistakes. They thought SHE did somthing to the child cause of her age-sad. Here the hospitol shoved the air tube beyond the lungs into the stomache and killed the child due to internal bleeding. 2 years later the body dug up for inspection. Turns out she was innocent and it was in fact a mdeical screw up. THis was on tv last week. Anyhow she pleaded no contest and now is retried based on new evidence. NOW if she pleaded guilt, that evidence would have never been found. THe autopsy that is. Think about it.

He was No different, then" You & I".
He was tempted, by the same things that" You & I" are subjected to.
The Only difference, is that he, did not "GIVE INTO", all this worlds, scams, shams and consumer pitchs. Idolatry to money, gold and false teachings. |
