This is the real me.

I recommend reading this thread with popcorn. Mine's delicious!

Popcorn in the morning? Eek! (And, yes, I know it's not morning, but I have insomnia so it is to me. lol) Kind of like drinking a beer with breakfast. My stomach just can't handle either this early. lol

 

[VioletReigns]

And THAT´s why all those troubles started for human kind...

AMEN!!!

I see what he's doing.

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.

AND AMEN!!!

Satan always wants us to focus on our worth and on being acknowledged by others. The whole carnal world would collapse if people didn't live for "I want! I want! I want!" and "ME! ME! ME" Carnality depends on pride and vanity. This young man needs to wake up and realize that his testimony is of himself. Whether it's rebellion, ignorance, immaturity, blindness - GOD KNOWS! But he is in error and it's obvious to just about everyone here. I pray in Jesus' name Stevie come to the end of this nonsense and trust that Jesus is able to glorify Himself through Stevie's life if he would just rest in the Lord.

If I had had popcorn... At least I had rice and egg... And it was my quick lunch.

Hey now! You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

My heart and prayers go out to you, Sister. Nothing replaces sleep, and I know what its like to have that precious commodity escape for nights on end. I'm out of sorts today because I did not sleep well last night but I'm in good company with you and the Lord.

You know what I found was disrupting my sleep? Your body tells you (usually around 9:00 to 10:00) that you need to sleep.... yawning, etc. If you push past that point, your body goes back into a "stay awake" mode, and you have basically passed your opportunity for a good night's sleep that evening.

But there's always one more thing to do!

That's describes my experience exactly last night. Point well taken, Brother. Thank you!

 

[StevieJ]

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

Ahh you never saw the how many acriptures for the title, right/

 

[StevieJ]

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

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

If you dont want opinions best to stay out of the conversation no way round that online.

 

[StevieJ]

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.

Who you trying to kid. I read many of your posts You like most in here need to see what I wrote is pure scripture and you dont know it.

 

[StevieJ]

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.

You want to give some scripture like I did and stop with your invalid opinions?

 

[StevieJ]

And yet more how perfect you are and how imperfect everyone else is.

Read it again and lose the critical glasses. It includes every chirstian but you only see what you want. Read it again silly.
Its all inclusive. Even though you got a special mention, it still in cludes you.

 

[StevieJ]

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.

It was about tripe. Like all the negative comments that cant bring any scripture

 

[StevieJ]

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.

Thank you someone who looks a little deeper. Just one thing Jesus never healed anyone ever. Itwas all God.

 

[StevieJ]

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.

Ok please explian all the scripturs i posted ?

 

[Willie-T]

Who you trying to kid. I read many of your posts You like most in here need to see what I wrote is pure scripture and you dont know it.

So, you found a list somewhere (Joyce Meyer's, perhaps), and incorporated it into a post. Big deal. Right now, all you are doing is turning around and demonstrating that you really do NOT identify with most of those virtues and traits.
