Why would you want to censor the truth? That is what the media does is it not? Do you all want to be like them?

What is ironic is the Christians complain all the time about
being censored and banned on Facebook and twitter
but the truth is on all the Christian forums they commit the very same act for the very same reason.

I am sure the living God see's it as I have seen it?
If I can see it then I know God can see it.

I remember back in the day Christian sites where getting 2 to 4000 people on just one forum
now look at you? And look at all the Christian sites that have of late just disappeared.

Why do you think that happened? I know do you know?

And you wonder why so many years of praying every day and getting others to pray every day for you
and the laying on of hands and God has ignored your petition
of healing you. You need not wonder no more I can tell you why God has not healed you.
Do you want to know why?

I do not need to wonder why you lie. You said yourself:

I am so glad that you said to me that I lied. People say all kinds of things to me
when I put the truth upon them. I just let God sort it all out. Like I am going to do with this you have said to me.

That is my mission that Jesus sent me to do here on earth.

Just speak the truth and when they get angry and say things to you

just let God sort it all out. That is my mission. I don't even have to defend myself.

I have it way better than them God sent to the Jews. They were allowed to kill
the old prophets. But the Christians are not allowed to kill me.

But they sure do give me a tongue lashing.

You say all kinds of things when people put the truth to you.

Denying your lies just compounds the issue. For you.

Well we sure will see how God feels about all this
I do not see you getting any healing. You never know I might have been the one that God sent to speak the Word and heal you.
But I think that opportunity has gone out the window.

What do you think?

Romans 12:18 NKJV - "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men."

There is one "rule" in this thread, and it is that we would come together and offer our ideas. We do not belittle or berate. In this thread, we must talk to one another with the Love of Christ within our hearts.

Now . . . LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

So, I've been watching the UFC for over twenty years. I know these people . . . I have "relationships" with them in my mind. I remember many of them before they had children. You get my "drift."

Honestly, I hate violence. I can't stand seeing anyone be hurt . . . especially the broken legs and some of the extreme beatings that take place. My heart is so sensitive that it pains me deeply to see people suffer. In my last relationship, my girlfriend would even laugh as she saw some people be smashed into oblivion. And even though I, too, was rooting against the same person, I didn't want to see "him" get hurt. I think I even said something like, "It isn't funny." Frankly, I was disgusted that she could laugh at another human be beating into a bloody pulp.

I know that one day I'm going to have to stop watching this sport, but again, I [KNOW] these people (as best I can without having met or spoken with them.)

What do you think? Is it time for me to quit watching this sport . . . or not?

You seem to already know the answer, you think watching UFC is unChristian. You keep watching it because it's entertaining, but in your heart you hate the violence. UFC, like other immoral/unethical media that some Christians view, repackaged and rebranded as sports, has the means that meets the same end: a rush of fleshly satisfaction.

My personal experience with watching UFC is that it makes me feel like I want to fight. I have been in real fights before and I admit it was kind of fun winning so much. I am already a bit of an alpha male so seeing other men fight makes me want to get involved because I'm confident. All of that being said, I do not watch UFC and avoid it. It isn't right to contribute to their ratings, enabling and validating them, and it isn't right to enjoy watching a sport that revolves 100% around violence. I don't watch football or any other full-contact sports, for the record.

What would be the point? You are already in denial.

Go back and re-read the things you have said to me,
and others too, if you wish to have your lies recapped.

I have better things to do.

This is not going to look good for you when this comes before God.
You could not answer the call.

Who are you and in whom do you believe.
I see you are 67 ,have you suffered great hurt from church people?
Alone? Has your family rejected you?

Street ministries are usually for ministering to the homeless,prostitutes,street kids,alcoholics or those who choose the streets.
Yet you talk about the Christians you rebuke. Everybody that says " Christian" is not a true follower of Jesus!

The word however is set in order how to confront or rebuke a brother. It also instructs us on displaying Christ....who like a lamb was led to the slaughter,he opened not his mouth.

People are offended at your attitude,not if you speak truth.

Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in pitchers of silver.

I against censorship unless it hurts others to reveal a matter!

As we all once where. Or if we choose to fall away, we once again resemble the devil.

We are perfect in the sense of Jesus Christ made us perfect. It is not of our own actions but of His. Amen!

The only people who get offended at what I say are evildoers who ruse to come to the light.
The next time you see one of your children reach over and take their cell phone
from them and tell them they can't have it back.

Then report to us what behavior you observed.
