    I formed my questions in such a way as to only require a yes or no answer.

    correction myelaine....you formed your questions to try and manipulate the answers and put your own meaning into them.

    What is your mission myelaine? Do you want to convert people to YOUR Christ?

    If people ALREADY believe in him....why is that not enough for YOU? are you Christs mediator? Do we need you to explain who he is and what he wants?...who put YOU in charge of HIS truth?

    She's within her rights. If you don't like her message then don't read her posts.

    @Jonathan... Myelaine has a mission! God only knows what it is, but she stalks those that ''hear''... Who knows why!

    She stalked me for a while and was sending messages to another member discussing me... No matter what you wrote it never seems to answer her questions, even if you wrote a yes/no... There are always more questions. Does your head in!

    Peace

    I said what I said because CLEARLY tec believes in Christ...obviously myelaine wants to TELL her how she should believe.

    Yes she can write what she wants....who's trying to stop her? I also can question what she is talking about and why.

    *edit* just out of interest I had a look at some of myelaines original posts...right from day one it seems to have been about myelaine teaching/telling others about the bible and how it should be understood.

    If you can't hear him yet, or just don't have the faith for him at all, then follow love and mercy, and show forgiveness and do good to others.

    I can live with that.

    I formed my questions in such a way as to only require a yes or no answer.

    No, you asked a two part question and wanted a yes or no... meaning one part of your question was dependent upon the other part.

    You know this because as you state below, you no longer want a yes or no... but rather a yes, yes... or a no, no.

    Regardless, I am not bound by your constraints. I am not bound by your black and white, yes or no, dogma.

    "do YOU believe this is true for YOU...and that is why YOU put YOUR faith in Jesus?"...your answer is, "I don't do it to save my life - my life belongs to him, whatever he chooses to do with it. I just do it because I love Him, and I follow Him for the same reason."...why is it so hard for you to say yes and yes?

    Because my answer is not yes and yes. Why can't you see that?

    Do I believe that I will die in my sins if I do not believe that Christ is He?

    You need to define for me what 'dying in one's sins' means to you first, please.

    My answer to the second part of your question is absolutely no. Like I said already, I put my faith in Christ because I love Him. Period.

    you said: "But if you think that I am going to condemn anyone by my words... then you are mistaken"...let's talk about YOU...John 3:16-18...

    If you continue to read verses 19 - 21, you might have a better understanding of a verse that you seem to be using to condemn.

    And again, rejecting your version (or other versions) of Christ is not the same as rejecting Christ. (You don't seem willing to have a discussion or answer any of my questions directed to you, you realize. Why is that?)

    you said: "Like I said, He said a lot of things. Love and mercy being of utmost importance."...isn't truth of utmost importance?

    You tell me. Is knowing truth the greatest commandment... or love? Personally, I think they're one and the same. So if your truth is without love (or more important than love), then how can it be truth?

    you said: "Yes, those who believe in and belong to Christ have eternal life in Him"...but you don't BELIEVE that He saves you...it's just a possibility.

    I belong to Him. What He does with me is up to Him. Paul actually sums up my feelings on this matter:

    "I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself... It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will epose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."

    you said: "I do trust Him entirely."...then why is it so hard for you to say yes and yes?...is it because it means that YOU would have to believe the same thing for everyone else and YOU don't think that is loving and merciful?...what is of utmost importance: love and mercy

    or truth?...what does the Holy Spirit say to you about this?

    All answered above.

    Peace,

    She's within her rights. If you don't like her message then don't read her posts.

    Jonathan, if she is within her rights, then aren't we all within our rights also? I believe this is my thread. If Michelle doesn't like what I wrote, would you tell her that she does not have to read my posts? Or are their conditions attached? Just curious and a little confused about your response here.

    Peace,

    I can live with that.

    Cool. I'm going to just repeat what I stated after that... um... for emphasis ;)

    If you have love in you, then He will see it. He has known people who haven't known him personally, before.

    Peace, OTWO,

    Or may be the god of the muslims will get there first, or he could become enlightened through buddhism and have no need

    Put JC in queue with all the others that known him personally, that the poster is unaware of
