You completely contradicted yourself here. If it means nothing that the Spirit speaks to you, then that means it means nothing that the Spirit told you to post this. Therefore, this thread is meaningless and hurts my eyes to read. O.O
It is giving me a migraine.

I would ask you... What is your heart's intention? What is your motive? Because it sure doesn't sound like it's out of love.

Then I would tell you... Who are you to judge me and tell me such things? Only God knows the status of my heart and how hard I've fought to get here. I don't have to care about your opinion but His alone.
This idiot is starting to get me angry. What a jerk! Oh, he got banned. Now he is a stupid jerk.

Furetrord came here and started this thread with several bad intentions. His entire thread is full of nothing but him saying he can prove we dont know God. Yet he couldnt even prove that HE knows God!!! He was a troll who got himself banned for being a prideful, arrogant jerk. If that makes him stupid also, then that's his fault, not ours. Yes, we are celebrating the ban of a TROLL. He acted holier than God, so God punished him by getting him banned. :)

Okay. I used to think that way as well. But instead of getting him banned. should we not have acted in love and in the hopes that he could come to the truth. I know it's a fine line, but what distinguish us from other religions is love. Jesus will take you just as you are and then sends the Holy Ghost to help you live according to His word.

The dude got banned and probably deserved to get banned, but a part of me cries at the same time. I meant what victory did you win to throw a party. A man just got shunned from a christian forum it is a time for mourning and not partying.

I think Kerry has a point. We dehumanized the poor guy. I will try to do better next time. Thanks for the Godly perspective on this Kerry. You are 100% right.

I agree.. to be out of the will and truth of God is a terrible place to be. My heart aches for him and those who think they are serving God but are deceived. I pray that He humbled himself before God and truly seeks the truth. The precious Lord endured agony to seek and save the lost. I pray His will be done and sets this captive free.

​waterlily, amen. I agree, he seems to have an attitude of the devil. Only God can turn him around, and I'm sure he will do exactly that. :) Here's hoping he reaches out to Jesus right about now and begs forgiveness for his prideful arrogant ways.

If I prove to you, that you do not know Jesus Christ or His Father.
And that you do not have the indwelling or the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

What would you do?
Prove you out

I'm late, probably missed the party, but I have to throw my two cents worth in.

This person came on accusing. Maybe he had a point, but he never got to it. Several people posted Scriptures, the OP posted one. If it is not from the Bible, then it is false.

I pray that we would all be wary of deceivers, liars and false prophets. Jesus warns us to be!

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.[SUP]16 [/SUP]You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?[SUP]17 [/SUP]So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. [SUP]18 [/SUP]A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. [SUP]19 [/SUP]Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Thus you will recognize them by their fruits." Matt 7:15-20.

"“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’" Matt 7:21-23


I think this was a troll. My prayer is that he will come back and read the posts from outside, and God will call him to be saved. Perhaps his point was that some people pray a sinner's prayer and think they are saved and are not. Or perhaps he was just trying to upset people who do not have security in their salvation. I guess we will never know. He took too many pages to say nothing!

Anyway, I guess it is over!

I came a little late for the party too Angela. He has now joined many of our banned brethren in the place that trolls go. Actually, I wish this site did not ban anyone, regardless of their beliefs or how kooky they appear to be. I am sure that we are responsible enough to post when we feel that we need to or ignore when warranted. You have wrote a most interesting post by the way. Your insight on certain matters is invaluable to me and I thank God for you and the concern that you always show to others. You are certainly a blessing to the community and I appreciate you.

Bans are for the sake of the guests who view the forums for answers to questions, not for members, who have the option of using the 'ignore' feature. Right now there are 46 guests viewing this, and only 2 members (one of which is me).

If someone googled 'what can I do to prove I know God' or anything like that, this thread could possibly come up.
Now there are going to be new believers, or even those seeking Jesus, who have been thrown into a den of confusion.
It is better to stop these agents of confusion before it spreads to multiple threads, or even pages of threads.

(The insults aren't necessary though. It's ok to get upset with 'trolls' but don't go overboard)

Hello 50+ guests. You didn't miss anything beyond a new user condemning Christians and making them question their belief system (in a condemning way, not in a strengthening way). Also the person even pretended to be a believer. Their intentions weren't clearly stated, but from the responses he gave, it was obviously to troll and harass Christians.

Kerry, he need not be on the forums to come to Christ. Pray for him. Should he have been banned? Sure, or the thread could have been deleted and if he made another thread then his intent would've been all the more clearer. It would be the equivalent of him walking into your church and setting up a booth advertising atheism. Yes, we should love him, but you'd take down the booth and talk with him and pray for him. He set up a booth, as it were, here on the forums and better yet, he isn't even outright calling himself a non-believer but professing to be one (and acting fanatical) to then go on making believers feel condemned and insulting them. It wasn't a rebuke, and it wasn't correction because such actions lead you to the light not away from it, as his hypothetical was set (for that intention).
