A topic that can build up on it's own..I'm so sick of how people are in this world today, they just walk in their own ways or their old religious ways. I have a huge problem with preachers and churches..."give us money and you are blessed". I don't like Catholics and I don't like Anglicans, presbyterians..and orthodox, really I have a problem with anything that contradicts the bible. The Bible does not talk about Catholics, or any of those man made religions, Religion IS man made, and let's face it..it's making Jesus ill, because we think we know him and what he wants, we know nothing, we are ignorant and selfish, and we don't deserve to be saved by Jesus Christ, but he did save us. There are people in this world I hate with all my heart, and actually I hate all human kind, because of what we are doing, we have new Gods, Money) and the God we don't care about is actually the one that is a living and loving God, how dare anyone call themselves relgious, we are nothing but sand that God made into people that would love him and walk his ways and look at where we are, how dare we!! Every thing in the bible I believe in and I don't take the words of people to show me that Jesus Christ is the only one I need.
The Church is not inside, and everyone is building walls, I don't think God wanted us to create religion, only just to have a part in him. I will help people in need, I love my family and all apart of me, so...why should I love others if they don't love me? I don't care who loves me or not, I love Jesus, and I don't have much respect for people that uses verses from the bible in movies or in songs, and then deny that Jesus is alive...it does not anger me, I just think it's funny.
Love yourself? That is how it's suppose to be, you should love your body and take care of yourself yes, but not love yourself to think you are more important than the Lord, the band member from Korn, his name is Brian Welch, he left the band, because he said God told him to leave korn and now he makes the coolest Christian music, and for that I have the utmost respect for him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am...and I might get bannd for this post but I don't care I have so much more to say....

The Bible I have is for me my most personal object I can have, because it's through the bible and through prayer that I talk to the Lord, my bible has got so much stuff writen in it that I have trouble reading it, I see that many people say it's a sin to write in your bible, if that is so then I'm going to hell because my bible full of stuff I write in everyday. My signature is in my own language, and it mean "Together we are one, and together we are one in Jesus, to Jesus I give my love, heart and soul".
I made a mistake, or not really I just forgot to put something in, where I say "Why should I love others, if they don't love me". well the bible says, "Love your neighbour as you love yourself". Just because they don't love me, is not a stone in the road that I will do anything that I can to help someone in need....Love others as you do yourself""
I'm sorry for this, but people who kills others just because they can, in my opinion does not deserve to live, and that is just where I wish God would step in!
Still there is more I want to say.......

i see that you are hurt by the state of this world today and probably on a much closer level than that. People will injure you, but try to extend to them grace and forgiveness. You followed your post up really well and for that believe the Holy Spirit indwells in you. Just stay in the word.. Pray thru this trial. James is an excellent book on dealing with trials and hard times. This life is tough. Man has done a great job in recreating the laws that Jesus destroyed. It is indeed hard to find a Bible Teaching church these days and if you do remember that there will be people in that church body that are also hurtful people. We want to smite them but just stay focused on your walk with God. Satan has found that to be most effective he must work with believers so that he can divide and conquer. Dont let him use you. Bless those that curse you and heap hot coals on their heads. The best repayment you can give your enemies is to live happily unaffected by their arrows of hate and jealousy.

There is nothing bitter in what I said, only what I believe to be the truth, Christians are told to shut up and sit back, I wont.

I don't see how I can be bitter if I feel as I do about senseless killing I hate it, I hate that people think they can take others lives for their own reasons, and if that makes me bitter :)) with a smile i'll say I am.
I pray with all my heart that there are others who feel like me, and who will say stuff I do. We are Christians, that is the road we should go and lead others on through Jesus Christ, you might not have the power, but he gives us the power.

Thank you Marksnet

The only thing that I will say in regards to your condition whether it be bitterness or a deep conviction is this. Be careful of words like hate and more importantly letting hatred for anything brew in you. Evil can overtake an angry heart even if you have the best of intentions. Now I dont expect you to read this and immediatlely come to this bridge but, I will be praying that you meditate on these things and use this conviction for goodness and God promises to use all things for His good/glory if you allow Him.

Hang in there, I have been where you are and it took me a few months to realize that anger leads to wrath and vengeance. You know what the Big JC says about that!

Our flesh rages against our holiness so always realize that there is war inside you! Romans speaks heavily on this and you will never master your flesh but, we must run the race and try to be like Jesus.

Remember, Jesus never condemned even the worst sinner on Earth so we should not either as much as we want to kick them in the teeth we must pray for them even if your prayer is only for the Holy Spirit to intercede for you on certain matters.

If all peoples sin were the exact same we would all get along but everyone has there individual weakness unfortunately. An alcoholic is made fun of by the adulterer, the gossiper is looked down upon by the man with a porn addiction..

this comes from the recreation of rules of man! The phariseeical attitude has been recreated in the name of Christians needing a way to measure their righteousness compared to their fellow man. I say to you that we should only look upward in our comparisons because until we are like Jesus we are nothing. Humble yourself as the Lord desires for you and pick up your cross and suffer for Righteousness sake and receive the reward that God desires to give the faithful.

this is hard!! if it were easy we would all be singing praises to our fellow man with no envy or greed in our heart.

Also,, dont forget the log/splinter comparison. You know the answers and I know that you are bleeding from injury and lashing out at the moment! Go and bless your persecutors and it will set them on fire! :)

Just for the records sake! RELIGION KILLS!! FOLLOW CHRIST AND NOT THE LAW OF MOSES. WE ARE INDEED FREE!!

PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT THIS IS NOT SO BUT,, IT IS IN FACT THE TRUTH

SHALL WE THEN USE THIS FREEDOM TO DO WRONG? SURELY NOT!

IF YOU DRINK WINE AND ARE CONDEMNED FOR IT THEN YOU ARE MORE LIKE JESUS FOR EXAMPLE ----PROOF
JESUS DRANK WINE (NOT GRAPE JUICE)
THE PHARISEES CONDEMNED HIM CALLING HIM A WINEBIBBER AND A GLUTON
IF YOU DRINK WINE AND SOMEONE ACCUSES YOU OF SINNING

WHO IS MORE LIKE JESUS? YOU DRINKING WINE OR YOUR ACCUSER CONDEMNING YOU!

DUH,, YOU ARE MORE LIKE JESUS BECAUSE HE CAME NOT TO CONDEMN BUT TO SET FREE!!

he runs his hands over his sweaty bald head as he sits beneath the flasing stage lights behind a drumkit then gives a sure nod to his guitarist.

the start of armageddon was just another day,
we all say tge news have nothing to say.
So many friends are missing, and family members gone,
so we all pray to god "let them be strong."

And though we stand together, remembering that day,
the lives we lived will never be the same.

We don't know why,
the innocent die,
will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why--but we know it's not right...
Don't know why so many have to die.

Hate as turned to others, for their religeon or their skin,
but hate can't solve the problem it began.
Everyone is angry, people are affraid,
no one knows what descisions will be made.

We don't know why,
the innocent die,
will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why--but we know it's not right...
Don't know why so many have to die.

he bitterly tosses his drumsticks onto tge floor then spits on the ground, kicks over his kit, then walks away with his hands in his pockets.

I don't like Catholics and I don't like Anglicans, presbyterians..and orthodox, really I have a problem with anything that contradicts the bible. The Bible does not talk about Catholics, or any of those man made religions, Religion IS man made

--Jesus was a jew.....there are gentiles....jews and gentiles? He wanted the church...unity...we made division


There are people in this world I hate with all my heart,

--Do you hate yourself too? really? God loved the sinners and prostitutes...and druggies..the tax collectors, the Joel olsteens of this world (I am bitter against him, I know this is wrong...just being honest with you) not what they did, but he still loved them


The Church is not inside, and everyone is building walls, I don't think God wanted us to create religion, only just to have a part in him. I will help people in need, I love my family and all apart of me, so...why should I love others if they don't love me?

--So you hate those who are different in religion and love? God...never meant us to hate eachother...he came to redeem/save/love the world...not condemn.


Love yourself? That is how it's suppose to be, you should love your body and take care of yourself yes, but not love yourself to think you are more important than the Lord, the band member from Korn, his name is Brian Welch, he left the band, because he said God told him to leave korn and now he makes the coolest Christian music, and for that I have the utmost respect for him.

--this is cool. I am glad u have respect for someone who did this.

As long as were in these flesh bodies we will need structure. Anything men add to what God has will make it imperfect but God can still work in it. I don't approve of much of what is going on in Christianity as well and it's worse than we know even but the church in Acts had it's problems as well. One day I think you will get your wish, myself as well the true church will consist of people who have to secretly come together under God Himself telling them where to go. The rest of the churches will be controlled by the substitute of Jesus.

Appleseed. your posts really touched my heart. You can call what you wrote anything you'd like, but mostly what I read was anger. When we become Christians the Holy Spirit starts opening our hearts and eyes to real sin. A very normal reaction is to become angry and want to lash out. You feelings are real and Im not dismissing them. but remember that we live in a secular world. this is not our home, were just taking up residence here until Jesus calls us to be with Him. Maybe, you could pray for those people instead of feeling hate. Believe me I've had my struggles with that. When were born we all inhereted sin, and being angry won't change what almost the whole world has inside of them. Everytime one of us tries to tear down someone else all were doing is helping Satan. The Lord loves you, and when he gives you the gift of eternial life you are obligated to share him with everyone. There is an organization called Voice of the Martyrs, if you contact them they'll send you a free book written by the founder. I believe it will help you. There is a link on my website. Be at peace with Christ.
