Doesn't look like a young boy to me. Looks like a young man. I suggest you go back and read through his twisted conversation.

Stranger

Stranger, it seems kind of obvious that this man has mental issues and is maybe reaching out the only way he knows how to. We don't know what his upbringing was like either so...I dunno-don't think it helps to speak to him as if he understands what he is saying or doing. And, he is also lost and seemingly alone? JMHO brother.

Agree.

Not so sure about the "reaching out" bit though. Some have tried, I tried....but there is always a very strange response.

Or, maybe just another troll.

But, as you say "issues" for sure.

Not sure if David is still visiting but it should have been clear to everyone that he was not quite normal, yet reaching out for help. As I told him, the best help would be to find a mature Christian who could sit down with him face-to-face and help him understand the Gospel and whatever else he needed to know.

Agree I tried that very same thing...asked him if he could find a group or someone who could help. But I got a flippant response ...I don't think he is serious.

I disagree.

Years ago, I had a Bible class in a nursing home. You know full well the mental capacity of many who are there. It was a good ministry. But you know, the hardest part, when you first opened the doors, was to get the past smell of urine.

I wondered and prayed over how to teach a Bible class in a nursing home to many whose minds were gone. You know what I decided? I would teach no differently to these as I would as if I was in the First Baptist Church of Dallas. I determined the Holy Spirit can reach and do His will with those in the nursing home just like He can do any where else.

And when you teach and preach you can see the spirit in the people who are listening. Some are just taking it in as children of God do. Others are full of hate and anger for what you are saying. That never changes.

But one of the oldest ladies there, if not the oldest, was Mrs. Ford. I praise God for her. She was up in her 90's. In a wheel chair. Shrunken and small. And others would wheel her in to the Bible study.

But one Sunday I was teaching on the book of Daniel. And I wasn't trying to be elementary. I was speaking just as I speak here. And Mrs. Fords eyes were taking it in and she let go a shout of Praise to God and Jesus. She asked me a question, which I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that I recognized in order for her to ask that, she had to have been able to follow all that I said. 90 something years old. If the Spirit of God can do that with Mrs. Ford, he can do it with a young man.

So you see. I have not sympathy for a young man who carries on as he does in rejection of God and Christ.

Hi Stranger,
NO doubt there are many demons hanging off the eves of this guys mind. He does not have understanding, his synapses aren't snapping very well. I also understand there is nothing that any of us on here CAN do for him, tangibly. I am only going to pray for him and let God sort him out.
I have an Aunt who just turned 95 last month. She is sharper than I am. So, that 90 year old in the nursing home was most likely in there for something other than her mind. Kid needs hands laid on him from those who are fasting...IMHO, and it's even biblical! lol.

You ramble like a drunk. You make no sense. You contradict yourself constantly. You cuss constantly. So, what is your problem?

Stranger
How do I contradict myself when there's two sides to a coin? A balance?

I need HANDS laid on me? An oxymoron for someone who should believe in both sides. You do claim to be a Christian. What's the other side to darkness as instructed? Am I being too carnal? What about the wisdom I was providing until mockers came in with that key of David? Ive provided both spiritual and carnal. What's wrong with that?

Oh the light of the key of David. Fine. It's really true. I've offered much. Stranger sounds drunk to me

Is that your cup of tea and coffee?

You said just now that “Stranger” sounded drunk.
I have actually a couple of times wondered if you were drunk ...so I guess it is a two way street as they say.

Be honest with us, if you wish to have a conversation with us.

Just tell us 1) why you are here, and 2) what we can do to help you.

If you are interested in a serious conversation , then, we are listening.

If this Site is just for you to play on, or spend your bored time on....then that is a different story.
