No, good an answer. Then what is with the posts you throw up? Vanity? A need for attention?
No not all simply sharing and you are not being forced to read any of it .
If you read it you will see it agrees with the word of God . It is meant as encouragement
LOL, it often strikes me as narcissistic drivel mixed with random cut-n-pasted scripture verse. No rhyme, no reason. Clearly a few here find value - interesting to me that the few include the UFO lobby and the virulent anti-Catholic KN group. Glad you repudiate any claim of prophet.
1 Corinthians 2:15-16 (King James Version)
15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
Asserting something that is brazenly thoroughly demonstrably untrue about another FREEPER/POSTER/BELIEVER
is outrageously bearing false witness, imho.
Thankfully, I’m not keeping that score. God is.
Opinions, by definition, cannot be false.
You have no more proof of that than I have that UFO's are real...Go figure...
Wrong.

When Pope John Paul II died it was stated that he had personally seen by more people than any other person in history.
You can opine that the Pope is not a Christian, the anti-Christ, or whatever else you want. But to say that he doesn't exist is simply absurd and to say that his existence is no more provable than UFOs is comical.
Talking about someone without pinging them is considered bad manners on FR.
Sorry, you are right.
So, you agree that there is proof of his existence?
Thank you for that post.
Yes, if you agree he had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord.
Given the layers, tanker ship loads, train loads of
VERY MEAN-SPIRITED, HAUGHTY, HARSH, VICIOUS, POISON FILLED FAULT FINDING hereon
it's clearly not other posterss' chosen role on this thread, either.
It's one thing to articulate an error--call a spade a spade--even forcefully--even fiercely.
It's quite another to take out the knives, razor blades, spears, cat-of-nine tails, acid, cacti spines, . . . particularly with great haughtiness, blood curdling hostility, trashy self-righteousness . . . on and on and on and on.
And those who can't see the difference . . . are in worse shape than I'd realized heretofore.
Perhaps I have a unique perspective. Because of my personality, style, calling, a collection of factors . . . and human nature? I probably get 8 to 10 TIMES the hostile assaults on FR that the next most attacked person gets--if not more. Often, it's without any intervention by any mod--perhaps because they think I give as good as I get or maybe that my uniqueness is such a hate attractor that what else can I expect etc.
Nevertheless, that's been the case--almost from the beginning--though more folks caught more flack from more people back then generally. Actually, things are better now. Though this thread is a real corker.
If there was some way to talk about Quix without Quix being me, I would but there isn't. I just happen to be the most vivid example.
SOME FOLKS, A PERCENTAGE OF FOLKS ATTACK ME--ESSENTIALLY--for the same reasons they attack JEDEDIAH.
NOT BECAUSE OF STUFF IN EITHER ONE OF US OR IN OUR POSTINGS though both are plenty flawed often enough.
NO! THE ATTACKS COME OUT OF THE HEARTS THAT ARE DECEITFULLY WICKED. And that would be all our hearts.
However, some are more undealt with than others. In some, the wickedness is given more air time, more control, more free reign, even. And in some, even the wickedness is called righteous; the evil is called good. That's a very dreadful state to be in. A very frightful state to be in.
It has persistently been the case, for much of my life, that God has used me to surface junk--to cause crud to float or fly to the surface to be seen more vividly in all it's ugliness--whether in groups, families, organizations or individuals. Many times, all I had to do was walk in the room. Seems to be something spiritual. Thousands of clients and students see me as bringing out the best in people. However, there is that interesting side . . . that seems to happen reflexively with me merely being around.
I assure you--GOD KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ATTITUDE OF THE HEART . . . TO THE NTH DETAIL--THE TINIEST NUANCE. And it MATTERS--TO HIM.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD..
I believe it was iscool who stated that he didn’t exist.
Well, I have lizards and a snake for pets, and some people consider those pests, but what do they know!
OH, conscious and unconscious fears of fairly intense levels may well be at the root of a lot of the hostility on such threads and against a lot of
PENTECOSTAL/CHARISMANIA etc.
However, Scripture gives no excuse for such fears having such full sway as motivation or acted out anything.
THE LORD REPEATEDLY SAYS TO FEAR NOT. We are to take our fears to The Lord. . . .
