I get that I'm probably one of the most-hated people on this forum. But I'm not this [you fill in the blank]. I might act like a tough [again, call me what you will]; but I'm as human as one can be. So, I hope this blog entry clarifies who I am with whoever hates or dislikes me.

If I'm one of those people you assume don't like or hate you then you are way of base...I may disagree with you...I may not like the fact that you can't make comments to my responeses in the thread with your arguments against instead of "in the dark" so to speak.

I live by what Paul said:

1Th 5:15  See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men].

If I have a problem with you're point of view I'll put it in the thread...If I have a personal problem with you I'll send a private message but I won't and don't use reputation as a means of vindictivness as do you.

As for our views of God...I'll let Paul answer that too:

2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.  

As I said to Brianroy...You interpret God as a trinity 3 persons,co-equal from scripture fine
Tanachreader now says there is two fathers,one son and holy ghost..grandfather God...father Jesus(since to be a grandfather their has to be a father).. a son..Jesus and the Holy Ghost which neither you nor he or Brianroy can name from scripture even though Matt 28:19 says you have to be baptised according to you guys in the Name of the Father, and the Name of the Son and the Name of the Holy Ghost.
having said that I may disagree but I won't call you names nor hate you for your belief
  
I interpret God as One and His Name to me is Jesus but don't expect me to roll over and play dead or accept your interpretation just because you say so or some guy purporting to be a desciple of the desciples says so....and will defend my belief from scripture as you do in defending your belief
  
   As far as I'm concerned when a person(whether you or anyone else) resorts to name calling they have already lost their argument    

Goy, please do not count me among whoever it is you are refering to. Without wishing to embarrass you in any way, I have a high regard for you ever since you sent me your first PM of welcome etc.

Don't let them put you down Bro. Never forget, you like each one of us is very special to The Lord.

In His Love

Thanks, DavidJ. But I'm not refering to you; believe me. I'm refering to all these folks who seem to like giving me this, never a more positive light, so much (seriously, am I that negatively-viewed, or (I don't know) bad?):

Fyi, I don't hate you Goy... I feel compassion for you, you obviously have experienced a lot of hurt in your life and is why ,I believe, you lash out against most everyone that comes on this board. I pray that Yahushua heals your wounds Goy and fills you with His love.

Shalom in Him

Btw, try to remember that we're human too and the second greatest commandment to love one another.

Nikki,

     Perhaps you simply feel a little self-conscious because of your disability, and its getting you down.  I don't know.  There are no magic words to make everything bright and alright.  We have to live within the means we are given, I guess...and try to live the best we can with whatever gifts and opportunities that are allowed us.

    But the idea is to make the best of what you do have.  Those of us who choose to follow the L-RD, are often cast off by the world...and quite often, even by many of those within the Church.   I think also being of an appearance that self-consciously reminds me often of Isaiah 53:2, and being poor, doesn't help either. When you're not so good looking, people don't want to be seen with you in public.   People want a sort of better class socialism over Christianity, even within the Church.

  My pastor recently described getting to know me as welcome as hugging a porcupine.  It has taken us over 4 years to get to a point where the offense appears to be wearing off.    And perhaps my aggressiveness in Scriptures offends more here than you, especially those who argue against Traditional Fundamentalist Christianity...but perhaps with time, this may change, or perhaps not.

  But maybe, in the humor of Abe Lincoln,  we all should look at some of our trials and even our good days as though eating plates of beans...some days tasting fresh and sweet, some days sour and turning the stomach, and say:  "this too, will pass".

The trick is, regardless of whether life has treated you good or bad, to not raise a big stink about it.  Hope this helps.

Shalom in Christ.

I take the hint that, from this post and your e-mails, that you must think of me as a hateful, judgemental type. Let me clarify and defend myself: I do not hate anyone and everyone. I dislike people who have, and condemn their, blatantly ignorant, apathetic, and/or anti-Christian and anti-Semitic theology. As for any wounds that I have, I'm already recieving healing, and support and counseling from godly people.

Also, whoever keeps giving me the negative points, please leave the reason or a hint as to why; so that I can know what you think that I said or did. The shameless leaving of comments is one thing that I actually commend prophet for; and the anonymous nature of the others is something to condemn. Also, prophet and I at least take up our issues if we leave a negative reputation for someone; we don't hide behind blank comment boxes, and would appreciate it if everyone quit the covert, "behind-your-back" reputation-giving.

As I said elsewhere, I wouldn't pay back the evil deed of negative repping someone with evil... so rest assured that I'm not the one giving you negative reps. Besides the rep feature isn't even available to me and I would prefer to have discussions out in the open/light instead of using the one-way rep system where one gets to give someone a dig without the person being able to respond to it.


Shalom

First of all, hate and dislike are different. I don't loathe anyone; but I don't like everyone. Second, I leave comments to explain why I have an issue with the person for whom I leave the points.

Aren't we/you suppossed to love one another?



Why don't you post your comments on the thread out in the open so people can discuss them with you or write them in a private message so the person can respond to your comments? It's not very nice to give someone a negative reputation and leave negative comments about them with the only way they can't respond back to you.
