Don't know if this is the right place, But....

[April_Rose]

I like your humility, I was referring to your persistence of being true to yourself regardless of what people think. Instead of being phony. I think I've seen that in you, but I could be wrong? Cheers!

Nope you got me down pat! Hit it Stevie!

 

[April_Rose]

Oh yeah and I also use this song to describe me.

I agree, a lot of people find blunt honesty as rude or confrontational, in my experience they are what I refer to as “snowflakes”. I don’t mean it as derogatory, but other folks take it as name calling. I deleted my Facebook account months ago due to so much hate directed towards Christianity. I was raised in Conservative home, not a Christian home, so I have always leaned towards the right. That in and of itself can really be offensive to those more liberal folks. Sad to say, there are a lot of liberal/progressives in churches these days, and that may be by design. If Satan can reek havoc in the Church, he can divide and disrupt. Fortunately we know that Christ Jesus wins ultimately, praise His Holy Name!!!

You are like me in so many ways! I use alot of exclamation marks. I was accused of arguing. I told them I was just emphasizing my points. They chose to believe themselves about me instead of me about me! Oh well. I am conservative and a strong history buff also. That made it very hard for the progressives (socialists') to prove that socialism could work. My favorite quote about socialism was from M. Thatcher: "Socialism is a great form of govt., until you run out of other peoples money to spend!"

 

[Ronald Nolette]

It seems that those that run these things in most cases have a take no prisoners mentality. They seem to enjoy getting the absolute power to run people's lives and what the bible says about forgivness is for another realm. When I remark that the bible says to forgive 490 times their reply is usually up yours figuratively speaking.

I am autistic and often I use language that is normal for me and they take umbrage at it but I cannot do anything about it because that is me. Despite my disability I am treated as a criminal the same as everyone else. The message they constantly give is unless you are perfect according to OUR standard, you are damned.

I hope that a power craze is not the case. But what is done is done. I give God thanks for the time I was on that forum, but now shake the dust off my feet and move on. I wish them well.

I was just permanently banned from another Christian site for the following three reasons:

1. Another poster had misrepresented my statements five times. five times I corrected him and asked to quote me correctly. the sixth time I called him a liar.

2. Nancy Pelosi is against a border wall as she says it will not keep out drugs and criminals. She immediately ordered a height fence around the capitol to keep out any more criminals for attacking the capitol. I called her hypocrite Pelosi!

3. IN a thread I continously referred to the Democrat Party as the American Socialist Party. Many reporters do as well as many letist politicians call them socialists.

I appealled and they banned me permanently. I guess being honest and calling a spade a spade is forbidden in some Christian Cirlces. This seeker sensitive , let us not offend anyone mentality in the body of Christ is enough to make me puke!!!

Not surprised. Being Offended has Superseded Free Speech Expression! UGH.
People do not have a "Right" to not;
Be Offended or not
Be Ignorant or not
Be Scared or...
Be Required to Tolerate everything an other dictates.

Some people cannot handle the Truth.
Some dubious Reps "Supersede" their delegated power and Focus effort on "hiding the Truth".
Scripture says "to know the Truth".

Fact is...People "like to Speak FOR others", as if the "others own words are insufficient". Pfff!

Fact is...Reps are the People's SERVANTS, Not Dictators....(by Design)...but Corrupt (by Act)

Fact is: Pelosi is Against a Border Barrier...
Intended to KEEP OUT Aliens who Illegally Violate US Immigration Laws.

Fact is: Pelosi is Fearful for her Safety IN DC, because she knowingly and the People are knowingly apprised "she" IS Corrupt.

Fact is: Pelosi maintains a home in California, with a Barrier wall around her property...just a short distance from "her" Congressional District and Over 150 city Blocks of Homeless people living in tents, tarps, cardboard boxes, urinating, deficating, trash, garbage on the streets and sidewalks, and drug use, dirty syringes strewn about.

Utterly Disgusting Hypocrite!

Well as true as all these are, they have rules (which I only scanned and not thouruoghly read), and they do say you cannot "flame" public figures, or "call out" anyone. I should have read them before agreeing to them. so though I disagree with how they limit speech, it is their website, they do get to make the rules and becuase they choose to limit speech (man of the rules I do agree with such as profanity, false accusations, slander etc.) they can kick people off. So they want a limited forum for discussion. I wish them well but fear either peopel will yieldthe right to speak openly and candidly about issues, or more people will be banned.

I find it funny, that it would have been perfectly acceptable to say that Pelosi in the fence issue was being very hypocritical, but is wrong to say she was a hypocrite in it! I know the nuance, but it is still saying the exact same thing I guess in a more politically correct way. I am too qld of a salty dog to learn how to speak the new speak snowflake vocabulary now! LOL

IMHO...about free speech.....
“A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.”
— Proverbs 18:20 (KJV)

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
— Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)

¹⁰ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
¹¹ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Matthew 15 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁷ Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
¹⁸ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
¹⁹ For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
²⁰ These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”
— Luke 6:45 (KJV)

Matthew 12 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³⁶ But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Cont

 

[Heart2Soul]

And finally...
James 3 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
² For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
³ Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
⁴ Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
⁵ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
⁷ For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
⁸ But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
⁹ Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
¹⁰ Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
¹¹ Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
¹² Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
¹³ Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

So how about that free speech...is it really free? Or does it come with a cost?

It's a ruse.
You can disagree and attack a point, but pretend it did not personally come out of an others mouth, Because "they might be OFFENDED", as you don't agree with them or think what they say is ignorant.

I saw everything over there (christianforums.com) when snowflakes were offended when you called them snowflakes. XD

Well I am banned, have decided to move on. I shall miss the many honest folk there, even the ones I had intense debates about our differences. also the many people who were blessed through me.

Yes they permanently banned me from that website. I guess to them I committed the unpardonable sin. Or my responses were akin to the mark of the beast, but they want nothing to do with me for eternity ( I do intend to look them up in heaven though!)

Ive was banned from another site, over some guy rewriting my comments to rediculous nonsense, that he was repeatedly asked, but would not stop, then calling him a snake that slithered around foot-soldiering for Satan. Boo hoo cry-baby juvenile.

 

[lforrest]

Yeah I got banned there too, I saw a white spirit called heavenly mother and they said I couldn't call myself a Christian so I told one of the moderators off and boom, banned permanently. It was a total liberal site anyways and censors the political posts like twitter and facebook.

A lot of Catholics have seen visions of Mary, or at least a spirit impersonating her IMO. Doesn't equate to you being pagan.

I have reason to think it may have been the Virgin Mary, I'm still seeking God for a clarification. But thanks for the encouragement. It helps.

Yep, agree.

Ever heard "you think you are always Right"??? Supposedly you are "suppose", to ignore, another's claims "they are Right"?
LOL

Fact IS:
Every Individual thinks he's Right!
Less one, thinks he espouses "what is Wrong", which is rediculous on its face.

WHAT one believes...IS either...
1) Verified as parallel to Gods Word.
Or
2) Verified as parallel to "another man's", thoughts, philosophy, feelings, ideas, logical conclusions.

An individual's belief ...verified BY Gods Word / or by Man's word; IS the DIVIDING factor among men OF the World, and men IN Christ, NOT OF the World.

Luke 12:
[51] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

John.7
[43] So there was a division among the people because of him.

I don't find espousing ones Truth as Rude or Arrogant.
Moreso, as a Standing "in confidence" of their belief, and knowing "why".

God Bless,

Hi D-
Pretty confidant Scripture Teaches, a living person, should not attempt to communicate with the Dead.
(Lev. 19:31)

Pretty confidant Scripture Does NOT Teach, Departed Saved Souls communicate or appear to a Living person.

Seeing "visions" of "ghostly spirit figures"... certainly may be TRUE....but Yet Scripture Teaches...
Gods sends His Holy Angel's, (agents to do Work on behalf of God), in the Likeness of men...not Ghosts.
(Heb 13:2)

People who claim to have "seen" ghosts/spirits...probably "have"; but I would caution on the side of "Satan mimicking".
(2: Cor 11:14)

Clearly our Earthly Eyes, are part of our corrupt body, and our entitlement to SEE holy spirits...to SEE God; is clearly AFTER we are Raised in an immortal Glorified Body.
(1 John 3:2)

Regarding MARY -
Who knows what she looks like? A Biblical description? A Biblical Photo?
A Biblical Statue? Or the imagination of men's minds?

Where IN Scripture does it Teach, Mary will come TO men or Among Earthly men; in a vision, ghostly spirit figure, or Speak ...
after her Earthly Death?

I believe your Answer is in Scripture... inasmuch to what Scripture Does Say and Doesn't Say.

Personally, I would "rebuke" a "ghost/spirit" appearance, as a Trickster demon.

Glory to God,
Taken
