    Is it possible to 'hate the sin and love the sinner' without being a self righteous jerk?

    Let my life be the Proof of Your Love. 1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV) 13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all...

    Off To Hell And Grandma's House

    Those are staggering numbers.. Real quick, off topic, I used to work for the coroners office. It is incredible how may people die on the holiday and days leading up to it. I would sometimes wonder what became of their souls. Some went peacefully, some went terribly, Any way.... I've never seen...

    The Calling

    Do you have the Calling? I personally like to write in my spare time. I have written in a few different genera's and have completed works but I'm too critical of my own work to attempt publishing. But, when I gave my life to Christ, I felt a calling to reach out to others. One night I was given...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Wow. So after all of that, was I right or wrong in my question? I was my feeling that the Holy Spirit dwells in those who walk with Christ. What about an anointing? Surely the Holy spirit must dwell in them then....

    Good song. Good message! I've never heard that one before.

    Westboro Baptist Cult

    That was supposed to say "well done" not "well don't". Auto correct fail there. I was merely saying I like your rebuttal.

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I see that everyday. Thank you for the clarification. The self indulgence is a thing I have done in the past and currently having to watch a loved one suffer through. Thank you!

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Well, if that's the case, then I am "led" by the Holy Spirit. As I still stumble from time to time..... So, my question back to you then is, If the Holy Spirit doesn't dwell in you, then how do you account for the sense of joy, enlightenment etc,.... I feel that comes from the inside out. I...

    Do you believe Jesus has given you the Holy Spirit?

    Okay, I'll be the one to give my story. Yes!!!!! When I turned my life over to Christ, I mean handed him the keys and gave Him the steering wheel, I could feel it! I went from being bitter, judgmental, self destructive and self absorbed to having an overwhelming feeling of love. I had never felt...

    Fast food fellowship

    When non-denominational churches started to pop up around where I live I was very skeptic. But I was raised Lutheran. If you know anything of the Lutheran faith, you know they are very strict with little breathing room. I of course am no longer Lutheran. That being said, I too am not a fan of...

    Is it possible to 'hate the sin and love the sinner' without being a self righteous jerk?

    Yes and yes! I find myself wanting to place judgment. But, like you have both stated, we know that is human nature. I think we often assume people are what we see. We don't know their struggles. Sin is a terrible thing that consumes us. All people are given the same free will and it is up to us...

    Empathy Towards Those Hurting

    I did pray for her after I got going down the road. I hope the Lord eased her pain. Since my walk with Christ has grown, I have really gotten a deeper understanding of others pain. Occasionally the devil tries to get a selfish hold on me but I do my best to fight it off. I have noticed the...

    Remarriage after a divorce.

    I consider that when I post. I would probably not post in the open if I used my actual name or hers. She may know my screen name and she does know I'm on here but there would be no immediate way of identifying either of us and that would be the primary concern. Thank you, though.

    Chat?

    I don't think anyone actually uses it. It works though.

    US police shoot dead boy, 12, holding replica gun

    You are very correct. Situations like this one,,,, no one wins. A child was lost and he has to live with killing a child. It is a very sad situation. Both families need prayers to get through this. If it doesnt go to criminal court it will most likely go to a civil court, depending on the family...

    US police shoot dead boy, 12, holding replica gun

    Police are simply not trained to wound. They are trained to shoot to kill. I was raised to never point any kind of gun (toy or not) at the police. With the world these days, you cant take that chance if it is real or not. I can guarentee that cop is not doing well emotionally. He most likely did...

    US police shoot dead boy, 12, holding replica gun

    I was a Chief of Police. Though I never had to shoot anyone, I had my gun drawn many times. It's a tough call to make but our focus was to make sure we went home that night. You have less than a second to decide to shoot or not. A lot to weigh out in that small amount of time. Since I wasnt...
