1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect...
I think we've found our answer to the question that wasn't answered.
Yes, it sure does.
Poor Elsie, so full of hatred and vigor. And against what? My recitation of Jesus's commandment? What kind of person is put into a rage over Christ's command to love?
Then you claim certain commands are only for disciples, while slinging other Bible quotes like the weapons you obviously hope for them to be - but are they only for disciples, too? Do you have a database of which quotes apply to disciples, and which to the rest of us? And by disciple, do you mean only the original twelve? Really? Are you a disciple? Am I? Is anyone? How do you know - and why should anyone agree with you? What are your personal criteria?
And where is your testimony of faith, and why should anyone believe it? Why am I required to lay my faith out for your judgement - because I merely quote Jesus's greatest commandment? What do i have to do with Jesus's legitimacy? If you find fault in me, dies that mean Jesus was wrong? Then why do I matter? Or is it rather just to avoid dealing with the issue on its merits? It seems so, for you and others here. Facing Jesus's command to love has apparently put a lot of Christians in a rage. How dare I remind anyone of that! LOL!
And what is inadequate about my personal testimony of #235? How does it fail your personal judgement of my soul? After all, it's far more than anyone else wrote out on this board - including you. Who are you to judge it? And how does my admiration of certain Chinese philosophy negate my love of Christ? You can't even see its Christian allegory, yet you post it as a condemnation of me? You don't even know what you're looking at - and you think others are just as ignorant as you are. Newsflash: they're not.
You are a child, Elsie. A very, very angry child, and you don't know what you want, and you don't know what you're looking for. And as long as you run around trying to hurt people and wreck things, you're never going to get any answers that will heal your angry heart. So give it up. Just give it up. Stop trying to hurt people - it will never make you happy. You're drinking salt water and screaming with the agony of thirst. Just stop.
