History: The Holy Spirit moved through California and converted thousands. These young people walked in faith, free with Christ as their head. Then wicked clergy men lifted themselves up and made themselves head over these young converts. These replacement Christ then built buildings, sent the sheep to work and coerced money from them so that they could have a life of ease. This is the story of 2000 years of Churchianity.
Lonnie was really crapped on by the church. They used him as a tool to grow their congregations and make more money. Yes, he struggled with homosexuality (and repented of it), but none of those leaders reached out to help him. They only discarded him when he became a "liability". He was as sincere and in love with Jesus as the day is long! While many of these preachers continue to hide their own sins, at least Lonnie was never deceptive about his struggle.
I was shocked when i learned that Lonnie Frisbee turned out to be a homosexual, had a gay partner WHILE he was in the ministry, and was kicked out of leadership in the church.
I know people struggle with sin, but just look up the JESUS FREAKS documentary. When you are a leader like that and claiming God cleaned you up from inside out, you need to be an example.
Lonnie died of AIDS when he was in his early 40s.
He was tripping on some emotional trip but didnt heed the full word of God.
It is really sad that he got snared by satan and pulled into a sinful lifestyle before he died,but we can not just discredit everything this guy did because he fell into satan's trap. I hear he was a great man of God and really loved people as we are commanded to do. It is easy to judge others when they fall, especially people who are unconventional in the first place. He fell, but don't we all at one time or another. Sin is sin and even though we may not think what we do is as bad,to God it is.
You should read the story of this guy named David. As a matter of fact, I think he's in the Bible :). Also, maybe Saul, Samson, Gideon erm... a lot of people in the Bible had sin problems while they were in ministry. God still loved them and used them hehe. I don't agree with homosexuality, but I think it's a great testimony of God's love, grace and mercy that he moved so powerfully through someone with that kind of lifestyle. The most hated sin by the church really.
Just to think at the time, I was completely unaware of ALL THIS. I was living my own life, in South Africa; having my own personal experience of this Jesus Christ; who came to our planet over 2000 years ago. I have since discovered that it was not localized, but it was the powerful media propoganda machine, that made it look like it was only happening in America. Truth be told 'JESUS CHRIST' has been a touching lives, and healing lives for a long, long, time and will continue until He returns! A
Perhaps Jesus was the devil in disguise, giving the people a false sense of immunity to their sins just by believing in him. maybe revelations is to make you believe "the beast" is the son of God and the son of God is "the beast". HMMMMM. I know I'm gonna hear about this one.
so wheres the real savior? there comes a redeemer and he slowly too FADES AWAY....>infinte creation dreams u into ecstatic creations of reality -forever and ever...chew on that a while
I think the doll thing in the beginning is funny and the whole thing is kinda psychedelic. Not making fun of it -- Son Worshipers are my favorite YouTube videos.
Face it, Jesus was the orginal hippy. Long hair living by the beach, walkin around in sandles. If He were alive today people would mistake Him for a 70s stoner, "Hey Man, u need a lift?"
Jesus saved me out of a life of pursuing MONEY. It was a much worse addiction than the drugs and booze I did previously. MONEY is deceitful because it seems "respectable" to be financially successful. It leaves you just as empty as drugs, sex and rock and roll. JESUS!
I think we are on the brink of economic hard times again, and people today will have a taste of what it was like to live in the 70s when there wasnt the prosperity there is today. Will be interesting :)
We are on the verge of financial collapse, worse than the 70s. Greed is much worse than drugs. People are soul dead from it and they don't even know they're dead.
I'm sorry that you have such resentments in your heart. Your anger is symptomatic of pain. And Jesus will take your pain and give you a new life if you open yourself to him.
Actually after looking at you folks that have done just that and still seem quite angry, frightened, isolated from self and others, your promise of big changes seems questionable.
life is so awesome peace and presence guide me daily prayed until midnightpower of the Holy Spirit. It felt like golden rain coming straight down from heaven. not mad materialistic.Issa
Myself, and I believe many millions more, have personally found that not to be true. Love, humility, mercy, joy are to be found in a spiritual walk, and Christianity does not have the sole patent on that walk. If you have something that works for you that's good.
Jesus the Christ said that He is the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Him. Either Jesus was truthful, insane, or a deceiver with the blood of many Christians on His hands. Jesus proved who He claimed to be and He rose from the grave just as He said He would. Where are these other gods?
Where's Jesus? In the church? In you?? You do not sound like a peaceful guy w/your chatter of 'True' Christians versus unTrue ones. I imagine you kick a lot of ass, Christian or not as you blaze ahead 'saving' people. Do you love, yourself, me who disagrees with you, your neighbor? How?
Jesus has the patent on salvation. You can find lots of things through other ways, but the reality is that life on this earth is but a vapor, Paahau. Those that reject Jesus as savior and Lord will suffer for eternity in hell. You have obviously made your choice, but remember this when you stand before Jesus Christ that you are completely and utterly without excuse.
Have you ever tortured an animal? Like burn it, stick it with needles, kick it around, over and over? If you answered yes, myself and millions more would say you are a sick, tormented individual. What you are saying is not true. What force, entity, power leads you towards love, humility, joy, mercy, when you seek the spiritual in a Christian or non Christian path? A house divided against itself can't stand.
How long have you been a believer in Christ? What changes in your normal nature have come about from your walk in this faith? When someone rejects the story you tell them, what do you think?
I see this often, a person complains of the Christian culture, then a believer comes back and says, I see your pain, you've been hurt by someone, etc. so on. It comes off as a sidestepping ploy in some ways, or at the least, you are not hearing him, hearing what irritates him so much about this American chuch that has strayed from the spiritual and got lost in its own self.
That can be a real show of love but the problem comes when it comes down to you want me to be like you, only you substitute the word God for you. Same thing. And if I don't agree I suddenly am on the devil's side, in darkness, lost, deserving to be punished for ever, tortured.
If I were to share the gospel, it will be the gospel, not my good news, but the good news of Jesus Christ. And that you should be like Him, not me. But also, it is not I who live, but Christ lives in me and in every Christian.We are to be imitators of Jesus the Christ.
But I have no argument with God, but you aren't talking about God, not really. But what the hey: love your neighbor, love yourself, understand you were born with dual opposing natures and be able to identify one from the other: peace out
Hey Paahau, you shouldn`t make your decision concerning God on the basis of how christians are. You know there are such a lot of different christians, some are really close to God, some are superficial, and some are in between. And everybody can just explain the things as good as he has understood them by now.
You know I became a christian without even knowing another christian, just because I began to sense God and gave my life over to him. The only "christian message" I had heared of was
that God was so demanding and would punish me etc. etc. Still I found him to be so kind that I gave my life over to him without even knowing that this would make him save me.
You`re problem is you`re seeking answers from men, by that you will never get the right answers. It is better to ask God. Just talk to him as frequently as you talk to christians and ask him these questions and tell him all these resentments you have. Man, that will make a change!
