Again, you are entitled to your belief, as I am to mine.

None of us are perfect. And I cannot change anyone else's mind but my own. Only they can change their own minds. Only you can change you own mind.

Only I can change my own mind.

Meditate on this.

If someone is sharing an evil religion then they are out to deceive people, knowingly or unknowingly it is still wrong to allow it to happen.

The Truth is Love.

My avatar would read" what did Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah say"?


And i do not fear this person whatsoever...

I don't buy into all roads lead... i don't care what they hide behind be it "peace" or "love" if it is not of Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah then it is evil.

No thank you.


I was changed inside out by Yahshua the Messiah.

I attempt to change no one's mind, but for the GLory of Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah hope that they seek the Truth.

To make this easier if it means banning people from spreading their false doctrine then so be it.

Jesus was God in the flesh.
He was perfect light...their was no darkness in him at all.
Jesus had perfect understanding and was doing the will of His Father.

If you are reading your bible every day, and praying continually,
devoting your life to sharing His truth...then you can spend time with unbelievers like Jesus.
But if you are doing it out of love for your fellow man.
That can be a slippery slope...with out the Holy Spirit or being spirtually filled... like Jesus.



1 John 1:6 - 8
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Ephesians 5:11
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

Proverbs 28:4
Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them.

1 Cor 15:33
If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character."

2 Cor 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

The ban only stops a person from spreading the lies.

They are still able to read the forum.

I love my Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah with all my heart and soul.

It is through this that i seek not to hurt anyone, and quick to forgive if one hurts me etc....

This statement is true...
That is why we are saved by grace through faith!
Not because we are so Christ like...
But because we belive He is working in us to change us!

Now do you get it! :)


Hebrews 10:14
because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

That is why we have this verse...

Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

That includes me, you and the Hindu woman.

God didn't call us to shun other people. Why do you think we are split into nations and religions?

To hate each other? To argue and fight? Or to come together and treat each other with love?

1 cor 2:14
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.


When Jesus died He sent the Holy spirit to guide us.

Use your mind. Learn the MEANING of it instead of reciting it round and round and round.

The arguments go on FOREVER until we learn that arguing and disagreement and confusion THEMSELVES (inside each of us, for us to change OURSELVES (not to change within others)) is what is actually the real issue with all this doctrinal stuff.

Love is pretty simple in all terms and languages and religions; self sacrifice for the good of others.

God is pleased at this kind of action.

This is the point; love is not solely for poeple who believe a very SPECIFIC doctrine, but rather for those who KNOW THE SPIRIT OF LOVE itself.

It disregards exclusion because exclusion disregards love.

I came onto this site and got hated on and called all sorts, jsut liek this woman.

Someone called her a 'yokel'. Why? How loving is that?

Others want her banned. For what? Trying to speak about what self secrifice truly means? Without thought for oneself?

I don't understand you people.

And clearly I'll now be the focus of statements like 'You are not in Christ' . . etcetera etcetera.

Except that I've said this it will actually be statements of false acceptance because it's all about image right?? . .

As long as we aren't seen to be 'condoning other religions' then it doesn't matter how we treat people, right? . . .

Sorry if unbelievers get confused.
Or even believers get confused...
