@321Bizzare: Follow your heart.

[321Bizzare]

It's kinda sad, really; this wonderful person will now live thinking that this life is pointless; that there's no hope, that there's no reason for us to be here, and that we're here just to carry on the species...

Then we sit around wondering why suicide and homicide rates are so high; suicide happens b/c ppl think that their whole life is pointless; murder happens b/c ppl think they got one life to live, so mind as well have fun. Why can't you see? There is so much more then all of this...

[321Bizzare]

@1LonePuma Yes & amen again XD

Although i believe that is 1 Cor. 13:2, although i believe verse 1 applies to the situation a bit better.

I strive to do the same thing; but i'm not going to go around telling people that their brains are undeveloped; that's just the foundation for an argument w/heated anger. I intend to spread the truth with wisdom & conviction.

Mine too ^.^

@321Bizzare: So you know, everything works through love. "If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." 1 Cor. 3:2. As you can read, there are many who don't believe in God today, but attack those that know God. I might sound attacking, but my answers are not without love, firm but in love.

Best regards

@1LonePuma Yes, yes & Amen~!

But, we must never let our boldness get out of hand, so that we are leading people away from God. In everything we do, we must utilize the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit and do our best to be lights to this dark & broken world.

@321Bizzare: @321Bizzare: Who's suggesting you should hide from sharing God's truths--certainly not I. Having such discussions give us opportunity to share God's truths, but being led by the Holy Spirit. Then we're enabled to share and apply God's truths where some may be confused or walking in darkness unknowingly. Walking with the Holy Spirit yields unmeasurable boldness at sharing God's love. Out side of that, yes, you may feel uncomfortable. But to be bold takes practice. ;-)

Walking with the Holy Spirit and in love gives unmeasurable boldness to share God's love. Out side of that, yes, you may feel uncomfortable, but to be bold, but takes practice. ;-)

@1LonePuma EXACTLY!

When we walk in God's love, it will dispel fear; so why should i go hiding in my church? I love having discussions & debates like these; it enables me to see other's point of view! I stand upon the Rock; that which is Jesus. No, no one told me to hide, but everyone does it anyways. But no, i will not. You see, even if they reject every word i say, what if someone is watching this conversation, and they see me give up? Nope; that's not happening~

[1LonePuma]

@321Bizzare: What are you arguing about, the word is saying that. If the light of God is in you, then why hide? However, if they refuse, move on, least you become like them. And when we're walking in the love of God, which is unconditional, then it will dispel fear. Everything in God's kingdom works through love and faith, in action, not under the bed. I don't believe anyone told you to hide, we're soldiers in the army of the Lord and we lead by example.

[321Bizzare]

@1LonePuma "God has not given us a spirit of Fear; but of Power, of Love, and of a Sound Mind" No, the Word of God says to let our light shine in the darkest of places; i'm sick & tired of hiding behind the 4 walls of a church in ignorance! You're telling me not to hang out with those who are deceived... so are you admitting that you are deceived? I am not deceived; the truth will set you free, and desire to long it, and reason out the facts in comparison to the Word of God. That's my goal here.
