Steve,
I actually like that kind of writing, (shock value), but the mistake comes when, in the same post, you do not make clear, the references to Biblical qualities of all Believers.
Well you do it.

Well, I think we can see what he thought he was doing. (He just didn't realize how inadequate the written word is sometimes in communicating tongue-in-cheek humor) And I don't think it was, necessarily, cockiness.

I doubt he will do things quite the same way in the future.

Perhaps it was the title of you thread that threw me off - "This is the real me."

Was he pushing ppl to read his posts by any sort of coercion?

That´s your choice, too: "...no one here knows the real me..."

unlike the op, I did NOT ask YOU for YOUR opinion

apparently, you choose to stick your nose where it really does not belong

Yes, I do. That's why I said I like that tactic in writing. (My wife gets on me all the time for using it.)
But I am trying to do better about not simply "firing one out there", and just leaving people hanging. Yeah, I've still got a ways to go there.

But if I make a statement like, "The god most of Christianity worships does not exist." I try to quickly follow it up with an explanation of how I feel we have often created a god the Bible doesn't really preach.


If you are going to play around trying to be explosive in statements, it is incumbent upon us, the writers, to fairly quickly get right to the point we are trying to make with our outlandish opening comments.

This is a copy of my introduction of myself in the other section. I am posting it here because there is so much of it that people missed. So its well worth nothing what I said and I now want to highlight where almost everyone got Me wrong.
I think there is a really valuable lesson here for many who think they know scripture. My post was saturated in scripture and yet most people missed it.

So here is the OP in full script and to follow is The full Script and biblical refrences to back up everything I said about me.
You will either love it or hate it. Thats your call.



and now for the scripture refrences to back up all I said about me. Ooops heres what God said about me.



Hello It looks like just about everyone of you never recognised what I was saying in this thread.

Every single thing I said was scripture refrences about what God says about believers and that

also includes me. I know some had some fun having a laugh and fun it was ment to be. But its

quite clear others are chiefly offended and loved trying to tell me I am so high and mighty.

Mainly At What Cost. But I can see she like many other are completly clueless when it comes to

spiritual things. I am here for a certian type "believers" mainly. The ones with ears to here

and eyes to see. So lets have a little look at this fun post.




SO this one is the real me you just never recognized me. When I look at a morror Jesus is looking

back at me and its the same for Him You need to know how much He loves you I already do. When God

looks at me He sees Jesus. Thats why I am beautifull, bless His name.

I am God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10)

So this thread is really all about revealing what most Christians dont recognize. How much God

had done and how much we have and are in Christ. To those who have ears to hear and eyes to see

be blessed in Him.
Name above all names.

Love ya Jesus.

So this was really encouraging for me. I recomened all of you look up th list of what I am in Christ scriptures. And right a story about yourself and see how cool it its.
You keep missing something really, really important.

What's the name of this site? Christian Chat.

What do Christians have in common? Christ.

What are Christians supposed to do? Follow Christ.

What is following Christ? Seek after him, want what he wants, do what he does, follow his example, seek after that special change in the heart when he works his will into us towards his good, love God fully and love others.

What do you do? Glory in yourself, repeatedly.

Sorry. I know my story. I know where I missed it. I'm learning where I missed it again. I really cannot glorify self because there was/is nothing in me worth glorifying, so I'll stick with following Christ because there is everything in him worth glorifying.

I'm not here for your approval. Nor are you here to be approved. I keep praying you get that. The problem is I'm not a very good pray-er and my heart is really toward praying for Evan, whose daughter Hanna is dying. My heart is more towards praying for Blaine who is in a life threatening position but is still loving God. My heart is for Teresa and Syd, who think God can't possibly forgive them, but he can and has already done so. My heart is for a lovely sister, who has a small chip on her shoulder. My heart is for a woman who probably already made a very bad decision and will be spending the rest of her life regretting it and thinking God can't possibly love her still. And if she hasn't made that decision, she will be terrified for the next couple of years waiting for the other shoe to drop. My heart is for Dad who is having the worse time realizing he has dementia, because dementia doesn't give room for realizing its there when you have it. My heart is for my brother who has to make all decisions for Dad yet cannot because of some very stupid laws. My heart is for my family. So I am praying for you, but it's very hard to do so when you're so sure you're the only one God has already perfected. Why burst a delusion bubble when I know after it's burst you're going to have a tough time in life so God can rebuild you? It's tough praying that one when I see people working so hard for things they cannot control.

God didn't build this You up. You did, using God's building blocks. The structure is baseless, since it revolves around you. I can only pray God destroys and then rebuilds revolving around him. Knowing so many people with hard problems, it's tough getting the strength to ask God to unbubblewrap you. Unfortunately, you're not much benefit to a community of God followers while you continue to boast on the perfectionism of you.

I'll explain with this. The guy who feels he has to tell you he wears the pants in his family, usually doesn't.
In the 21st century, how many people in a family don't wear pants anyway? lol

(I think I've worn a dress once in this century. It was a mistake. Too cold! lol)

Can you just highlight the "I"s that are not scripture for me? Dont you recognize scripture even when I quoted it for you . I had to quote it because of all the people who dont know scripture in there own languge, And still you dont see it. I am dunfunded at the level of ignorance towards scripture.

@ Magneta if you knew scripture and obeyed Gods laws. You would know not to call anyone a fool. Do you know that verse?
But for some reason you are acting above God. Thats why satan landed where he is. he also put himself above God.?
And yet more how perfect you are and how imperfect everyone else is.

Is it really? Because OH was asking you a sincere question and all you did was show him it's not about every Christian, because it can't possibly be about him. You put him down because it really is only about you. If you believed it was about all other Christians you would be glorying what Christ has done for them too and seeing it in every responder. But that is not in you.

So, you're right about one thing -- you can't help. You really can't until you get over yourself.

I actually like the introduction and can see the humor and the manner in which I hope it was meant. I don't see it as prideful boasting. Boasting is fine as long as you are boasting about the Lord and you understand that all that you are is because of Him. I think that was the intention of the introduction but it may have sounded "in your face", especially to someone who hasn't embraced their new identity in Christ.

I honestly do think we should have an attitude of oneness with Christ at all times, so much that we loose any other identity. Look at the attitude of Jesus. he would always say it wasn't him that did the works but the Father, yet he would also say," I'll come and heal him." This is because Jesus considered the Father and himself as one. We also should have such an attitude, though religious tradition would throw you off the cliff for it.

Steve,
You burned some cool rubber in first gear, but you neglected to shift into second before you let people get irritated about all the smoke and noise you created.

As I must do, you have to keep in mind that even some of the sharp readers here are not mind readers.

Do you remember that Lucifer was obsessed with wanting recognition? Never did the Lord instruct us to go into the world and preach ourselves so that the world may see God. You are not Jesus. You are a vessel of God. Christ is the Vine, we are the branches. Your constant comparison to the Lord is foolish and immature. We preach Christ crucified, that is all.

For the simple fact that you won't stop for even a moment to consider that you're in need of receiving correction from your brothers and sisters on this board shows that you choose to be stubborn and remain in ignorance. There is not a shred of humility in anything you're posting. It is all pride and foolishness.


Read the story of the rich young ruler. Perhaps your eyes will be open.

It's also not the first time he's done this, nor the second, or third, or fourth, so it's not humor either. I'm just not into defending myself -- defensively or offensively.

And yes, he'll keep doing this because it is cockiness. If it wasn't, he would have shown others they're the same too, instead of spending all his time on the important one - himself -- and telling everyone else they're wrong. He'd listen occasionally. :D
