I wouldn't give out my personal address either ;) But my city and most assuredly my name.


But if you have your name and location, it's EASY to find both your address and your phone number. Trust me... I've tried it before... I've actually done it a couple of times... and I wasn't even trying to find that info ... if someone who I talked to a lot suddenly stops and I know they were having a rough time and I become concerned. So I google obituaries, accidents or deaths with that persons name and STATE (not even their city)... Don't usually find anything of note which is good but I do usually find out exactly where they live... If you have their city... psh... done deal, you got all you need to find the rest. If they have a Facebook account... jackpot!! Talk about a goldmine of info. Heck now that you know all this you can use google maps and you can see the very house they live in.

The ease at which it is to find THAT much info out just by their name and state keeps me from publicly displaying my name ANYWHERE. I don't even have a Facebook. There is really no use for anyone to know my last name. If we are good friends and talk a lot online, then ok. Even so if you google search my name and city you can still find my address. Phone number you won't find but yeah. Lucky for me, my first and last name are incredibly common.

I readily share my facebook, and if you plan to do anything with the knowledge you say you have, that's ok. God is on my side.

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

He would not associate himself with Jesus.


Luke 22:54-60 Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, and Peter was following at a distance. And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them. Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with him.” But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

Amber, you are mixing the Scriptures with your own (very doubtfull) conclusions. Jesus knows better if anyone denied from Him. The worst sin is to make yourself a judge instead of Jesus.

Everyone who truly call himself christian (pointing it in personal profile) is associating himself with Jesus, independently of whatever name represented in the forum.

Amber, I think most of users here thinks good of you, how you’re honest and open person, I think.

And I like it, too..like your attitude, but why are you so combative and disgruntled with others, who had different attitude on this subject?
And why you think that something is wrong with us, just because our different approach with all this…


Even our Lord Jesus in one occasion went secretly to City, would you blame Him too?


But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. John 7,10


I am maybe extreme case in this whole topic, but I have no problem even with people who came in forum or chat completely anonymously and don’t reveal themself even to their friends ..I mean if it happen for time to time..


I can understand that, sometimes is all we need just be unobserved but still in some community.. sometimes we need to withdraw… be just guests… just listen and smile under our mustache (no I have not one, its just SK phraseology, not sure if you have that one in EN, thou, lol) and no one will not prompt you to give your opinion …why I should always have to have an opinion on everything? Just peace and observation .. maybe inspiration.. and enjoyment of companions


Jesus used to go to a lonely place (he liked it) and also sometimes withdrew himself from public life….

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness
…. he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them … (luc 4 and 5)

....and I know, I know, it was because he wanted to pray, but still …
and he liked to observe (story with that old widow in temple, He just sat there and observed…and nobody called Him creeper …m just sain)


Everyone..You can keep your opinion on this matter, but pls people, try to not offend others with the arguments that we are liars creepers and weirdo's, you actually don’t know when it is true and when not.


And Also in Jesus times there were secret disciples

F.e. Joseph from Arimathia (john 19,38) together with Nikodemus (j3)were belong between secret disciples…jesus knew about true beleviers among jews who folowd him secretly, and never blame them.

However, His disciples were angry and jealous and look at those secret disciples with suspicious as we read in mark 9, 38-40 but Jesus told For he that is not against us is on our part… so he didn’t mind


What I’m saying is that, imho, it is normal and human to seek privacy and protect privacy

[FONT=&quot]
Be blessed

PSAnd as for this video at the beginning OP Im really sorry I wasn’t able to watch longer then about 1 min… Im sorry I just cant..just..that woman..just no, really sorry, no offend[/FONT]

You gave me a good laugh with that expression. We also have it in Romania, but it's been a while since I heard someone using it and translated into english sounds even more funny.

Psalms 5:11-12, But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. for thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous, with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

I just read the first few posts and don't have time to read the other two pages, so I apologize if the conversation has moved from the original post.


First JESUS never told Nicodemus to reveal himself to the masses. therefore if Jesus found no fault in the man, then why does the OP or the site she is advocating finding fault in him?

Also there is scripture where JESUS did not reveal HIS real name to people, or have people forgotten that story from the Bible?

John 7
[h=3][/h][SUP]10 [/SUP]But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.



When Jesus went anonymous among the crowd?

therefore taking those facts into account, I think its illogical, unbiblical and unreasonable to condemn people for not using their real name on the internet. God knows who we are no matter what. Sometimes for our safety it is better for the world to know us by our words and actions and not our legal birth names. It is not like that is what we will be called in Heaven anyways.


Revelation 2:17
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’

John 3:1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.2 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."

Nicodemus wasn't afraid to say to Jesus Himself that he believed. He came under the cover of darkness to hide his identity from the people!! So that people didn't know that he, of all people, Nicodemus, was going to Jesus. He was afraid to associate his identity with Jesus.

Luke 9:26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

Darkness leaves room for sin and an anonymous identity is a hiding place where people can't see you.

My name is who I am and I'm not afraid to reveal those attributes. I'm not one of the fig leaf types. It helps me to continue to fear God in the right way. It is however, an attribute that causes me to be shunned and ridiculed at times. It's actually getting worse, but Jesus suffered more than I have.
John 15:18-19 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP]If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

1 John 3:13 (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

Anonymous Prophets, Apostles, and Saints | Gary Dennington

This week I have had anonymous “prophets” attempt to impart prophecies, anonymous “brothers” offering Apostolic correction, and anonymous “saints” supposedly on order from God dropping by to offer suggestions on how my wife should dress. Pretty average week really. Not surprising, they each insisted on their “right” to privacy. What they are really protecting is their “right” to be abusive without taking any personal responsibility, or facing the consequences of their actions.
.

I also encourage you to establish a culture of protection on the social community profiles that you have responsibility for. Do not allow the enemy to come in and anonymously slaughter sheep on your pages. If you start requiring that people identify themselves in order to have communication privileges, many of the offenses (and offenders) will disappear.

As we approach the return of Christ, we will be watching the fulfillment of many prophecies — some that are familiar, and some that jump off of the pages of Scripture unexpectedly. Today, Monica brings out a little-known prophecy from the Old Testament which establishes that in the end times, there will be an army of women preachers proclaiming the Word of the Lord.

Join Monica Dennington as she takes you straight to the Bible to find out how you can participate in the work of this army of women...and how to avoid being counted as one of the enemies God will crush

I am just curious if this is you or not. Thanks.

THANK YOU "FORTHANGEL"! I just got a phone call from "anonymous". I did not know my phone number was placed in public by that web site. You may also go back and read that I say giving out your address is foolish, and that would obviously include your phone number.

In your ZEAL to expose all of my information and to lay me out for all to see "forthangel" you STILL have not shown anything that I have not willfully put out there, EXCEPT MY PHONE NUMBER. Anything you find with my name, picture, and city is something I want people to see!

THANK YOU AGAIN "forthangel" for bringing that to my attention. I fixed that mistake but unfortunately it's not updating through your link. Too bad for me, huh!! I guess I'll just have to deal with the horde of anonymous phone calls i get now.


You could have just brought that ONE ad to my attention in private but no, you decided to share MY phone number with everyone in order to prove a bad, unbiblical point.

And if you have not noticed, just as on every link you have TRIED to dig up on me, it all gives the very same information as I show here. My name, my city. Sometimes my age and my birthday. Depends on the site. You're not showing anything except for my boo boo on one site for which you could have safely brought to my attention in private. One that I made recently, because you didn't find anything like that before.

Scripture is Scripture. Forever.
